Free Music Notes for Blue Plate Special
Free Music Review: a sleeping beauty
Hit: 5 Stars
After being wooed by a live recording of this band, I had to go out and buy this CD. Having enthusiastically played it a few dozens times, it's become a new favorite. While I adore "Blue Plate Special," I also want to dispel any misconceptions: this group doesn't reinvent the wheel. With jamband connective tissue, this is garden variety instrumental rock with strong infusions of jazz and funk. The formula has been used extensively with mixed results. This dynamic isn't necessarily a drawback. While there may be nothing obviously remarkable about "Blue Plate Special," it somehow found its way under my skin. I'm surprised since the improvisation doesn't consistently sparkle and the compositions aren't all that interesting. Indeed, there are few highlights or power solos to write home about. (One exception is 'Gen Pop' -that's the tune that gets my 'repeat' button most often. Then again, it's also a ton of fun to hear a ska version of MMW's 'Gonzo.') This is one of those unexpected recordings that with time bcomes part of your DNA. Live, these guys played a fabulous retelling of 'Day Tripper.' My only regret about "Blue Plate Special" is that this Beatles' song wasn't recorded for the album. A sleeper is something that becomes unexpectedly important after a period of being unnoticed. After a few listens, this album emerges as a sleeping beauty. Don't expect to be blown away, but do expect a fun ride with real staying power. At the end of the day, it may all come down to the chemistry between Will Bernard, Stanton Moore, John Medeski and Andy Hess. These guys come together to play the ultimate groove. Get "Blue Plate Special" and share in the groove.
