Hard Rockin' Blues!,
By deepbluereview "deepbluereview" (SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Standing Alone (Audio CD)
Griffin's second release is an improvement over the first. Eleven smokin' originals and no covers. The CD combines the talents of blues bass player extrodinaire Johnny B. Gayden and the highly respected drummer Ray "Killer" Allison with Griffin's hard driving vocals and smooth fret work. The tempo on this CD is somewhat slower and more mature than on "Bad, Bad, Man" but that in no way translates to boring. Rather, the pace is a perfect backdrop which allows Griffin the opportunity to play his solo's without background clutter, and it works. "Nasty" and "Standing Alone" are good examples of this. As with the first CD, Griffin makes liberal use of the wah-wah and continues his Robin Trower style vocals. If you like your blues to rock hard and steady, you would enjoy this CD. I look forward to the 3rd release--Play it Loud.

Hot, raw, ripping guitar.,
By Rick G. (Toledo, Ohio United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Standing Alone (Audio CD)
If you love guitar the way I do, you'll love this cd. This guy rips up and down the neck like no one I have heard in a long, long time. Unreal wah wah action too. I had never even heard of Don Griffin before and bought this cd out of the blue. Now I'm ordering his others cd's too. As a bonus his vocals are just about perfect for the music. I can't listen to it enough!!
