HOT REVIEW OF THE NEW RELEASE!
Galloway & Kelliher
"Wild Dogs"
Lakehouse Records
By Peter "Blewzzman" Lauro © February

Just
as blues bands from other regions have a style of music that's sometimes
associated with their names; homegrown Florida bands do as well. The one
that I've heard used most frequently is "funky swamp boogie blues"
and I'm thinking that's a heck of an accurate description of Galloway &
Kelliher's sound. Having individually been involved with many bands,
"Wild Dogs" is their second release together. On the project,
Mike Galloway - on harp & vocals and Tim Kelliher - on guitars, bass &
vocals are joined by: Danny Walters on bass, drums, Hammond B3 & background
vocals; Juan Perez and Reno Mussatto, (the disc's producer) on drums; Barry
Dean and Jerry Wilhelm on bass; John Tegethoff on Hammond B3; and Mark Emerick
on slide guitar. In addition to a Lazy Lester and a Robert Johnson cover,
“Wild Dogs" features ten original/collaborated tracks.
The opening track is a relaxing, laid back, down home Florida,
acoustically done song. As a matter of fact, even the lyrics are all
about relaxing. As Mike and Danny so melodically tell it on vocals, if you
don't take care of yourself you could end up six feet "In the
Ground". Great pickin', harp and rhythm all done by Tim, Mike
and Danny.
With
seven more tracks yet to come, my ears want me to say that right now I'm
already listening to the discs best track. As a matter of fact, "Catch
Me When I Fall" may actually cause it to be a while before I even hear
the other tracks....I just cannot listen to this kind of stuff only once.
Slow, soulfully sung heartfelt lyrics, piercing harp leads (both by Mike),
smokin' blues riffs on the lead guitar, intense and tight rhythm led by the
steady pulse of a Hammond B3 (Danny) - all done exceptionally well - are all
what floats my blues boat and I'm telling you, right now it's high tide for the
Blewzzman.
So
let me ask you something. If on the day that your woman leaves you it
happens to be raining whiskey, would you have the "Broken Hearted
Blues"? Tough one, huh? Kind of like I got bad news and I got
good news. The bad news is my baby left me yesterday and the good news is
it was raining whiskey. With a bit of a country swagger, Tim does a heck
of a job on this one - vocally and on slide guitar. Once again, more good
rhythm - this time by Barry on Bass and Juan on drums. Give this one to
Toby Keith and it's a number one hit on the country charts - ain't no doubt
about it.
The
title - and quite gritty - track, "Wild Dogs" is another
winner. Again, it's Tim on the vocals and in between fiery guitar licks;
he's snidely belting the hell out of this one. Meanwhile, partner Mike on
the harp along with Barry, Reno and John on rhythm are all providing him with
musical support as wild as those dogs.
The guys certainly do justice to the song on their rendition of "Love
In Vain", the Robert Johnson classic which has been done by many -
perhaps most notably by the Rolling Stones on the monster "Let it
Bleed" Album. It's done as it should be, slow and soulful.
With a relaxed rhythm behind them, Mike on the vocals and Tim on the acoustic
guitar absolutely shine on this one.
Before this song even started, a voice in the background can be
heard saying "its blues, baby" and I was already liking "Five
Day Rain". Then John starts the B3 purring, Mike starts singing,
the harp starts blowing, the rhythm starts escalating, Tim starts wailing, Mark
'slides' in on the other guitar and ya know what? Oh yeah, It's Blues
Baby!
Other
tracks on this killer disc include: "All Night Blues", "Sugar
Coated Love", "I Want You" and "Sharecropper Blues".
If
you're not already there, you now need to go to www.LakehouseRecords.com
and get your hands on a copy of "Wild Dogs". And while you’re
caught up in the excitement, please don't forget to tell them the Blewzzman
sent you.
