Free Music Notes for Chock Full of Country Goodness
Free Music Review: The Aces are back
Hit: 5 Stars
This band is alive! This is no comeback act, trying to pad the retirement fund, this is the real deal. H. Russell wrote great songs in the 70's, and now he's showing everyone that he is indeed a rare musical natural resource - a well of soul that connects to the mother lode somwehere deep. The songs are full of life, and are played well by a great band, who despite the ravages of years and the death of Butch McDade, still generate the deepest grooves in Rock, Country, or anywhere else. And it seems that someone finally figured out how to record Russell's voice properly. The emotion and dynamics he can generate were perhaps just too much for "vinyl technology" back in the 70's. On "Chock Full of Country Goodness," you can hear every nuance, from his beautiful deep Brook Benton growl to his signature R&B keening. Sounds even better than "Out of the Blue."Anyway, I'm as excited about these two records as I was when Craig Fuller found that great back-up band, Little Feat, and helped write one of the best records of the century, "Let it Roll."
This time, guys, be sure to get more than your fair share.
Sincerely,
Mark Dodge
co-author, "Running Microsoft Excel 2000," which was written largely under the funky influence of "Out of the Blue."
Chock Full of Country Goodness Poster
Though founding member Butch McDade sadly succumbed to cancer in November 1998, the remaining Aces have chosen to press on with 1999's Chock Full. Dedicated to McDade, the album would surely have pleased their fallen leader with its appealing blend of tastefulness and mirth, a blend that defined the Aces in their heyday. Combining Southern rock and soul with traditional country, the Aces show a firm command of a variety of settings: honky-tonk stomps, expressive ballads, jazzy Ray Price-style shuffles, Bakersfield truck-driving romps, gritty R&B. Russell Smith's voice has taken on an assured depth and a grainy soulfulness, and the band's playing is tight throughout. Sure, there are a handful of forgettable songs, but the many highlights recall the fine work of genre fusers like Commander Cody, not to mention vintage ARA as well. --Marc GreilsamerClassic Rock Music CDs
