5.0 out of 5 stars
Tore Down House,
By Jesse Delaney (Antelope, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tore Down House (Audio CD)
I just noticed that in the 6 CD magazine in my car, I had forgotten what the other 5 CD's are since I slid Tore Down House in two weeks ago. Suffice it to say that this is a truely captivating collection of music. I am not particularly a blues fan, but I am a guitar player and this is a "must own" CD. I'm a fan of Sabica's (I play flamenco), Scofield, McLaughlin, Beck, Ralph Towner, Hendrix, Robben Ford, Frank Gambale, and now with this slightly-off-center blues effort, Scott Henderson is on my "watch" (and listen) list. I had previously purchased a Tribal Tech CD and was impressed with his playing.

Monstrous Modern Blues,
This review is from: Tore Down House (Audio CD)
Tore Down House was Scott Henderson's second blues release, and he expands on the musical territory first explored on Dog Party. Henderson brings his harmonically sophisticated approach to bear on a variety of blues-based compositions. Tore Down House opens with hard-hitting funk of Dolomite, which conjures visions of 70's blaxploitation movies. The title track is a colossal blues, melding jazz-level harmonic imagination, Hendrixian scorch, and Thelma Houston's soaring vocals. Meter Maid features a Bo Diddley beat married to crunching guitars. I Hate You starts out as a hilarious parody of 50's love songs, syrupy chord changes and all, before Henderson's metallic solo takes the song into another dimension. Gittar School is an Stevie Ray Vaughn-styled vehicle with silly-but-funny lyrics. Xanax is one of the highlights, pairing Henderson's raw, no-holds-barred guitar with Thelma Houston's intense vocals. Continuum provides a respite before the hard blues-rock assault of You Get Off On Me, the heavy-hitting slow blues Mocha, and the jackhammer funk of Harpoon. The nonsensical lyrics on Tore Down House will be a turnoff to blues purists, but I kind of admire the fact that Henderson didn't try to write typical blues lyrics. The more compelling thing about Tore Down House is Henderson's expansion and re-imagination of blues-rock guitar. A stellar effort.

Clean blues,
By A Customer
This review is from: Tore Down House (Audio CD)
This guy plays the cleanest blues you're likely to ever hear, yet it's soulful and searing. Hendrix, Beck and Santana rolled into one and sprinkled with jazz. I might differ from all the raves I see here and say there are a few cuts on this CD that don't rate 5 stars at all (tend to be a bit too cute), but the title track is worth the cost of admission alone. All in all It's too good to rate as 4 stars, so let's go with 5.
