Nothin' fancy, pure energy!.......2004-04-16

I'm a big fan of the blues, Elmore James, Howlin' Wolf, Son House.. It's very refreshing to see 3 young white dudes pay their homage to the blues, cause it's those old blues artists who made rock'n'roll what it is today. Soledad Brothers mix a great blend of punk, garage and blues and the singer sounds like an arrogant Jagger wannabe, wich in my view is a compliment! No fancy solos or arrangements, just pure energy! If you're into whiteboy blues, don't even bother to check next Johnny Lang album out, get the real deal instead..

Where It's At.......2003-08-01

In my opinion, what the Soledad Brothers are doing is the forefront of current music. Guitar music is generally an overproduced affair, and it is so great to hear these guys _raw_. I get the same feeling listening to this as I do with jazz: sophisticated art. (Sophisticated seems such a contradiction, but there it is.)

I saw these guys opening for Hope Sandoval and thought they were the weirdest band I'd ever seen. Why on earth were these young dudes playing blues, or at least bluesy stuff? It seemed so incongrous. At the time they reminded me of the Stooges, but this was probably influenced by their Detroit origins. Now, if I had to compare them to anyone, I'd say Paul Butterfield Blues Band, and a little Fleetwood Mac with Danny Kirwan fronting on the Chicago album. But they are also on the same tip as Elmore James and good Howlin' Wolf, not Stevie Ray Vaughn, Johnny Lang, or any of this other glossed-over blues bar band tripe.

Plus they have a song recorded right to an aluminum or acetate (or whatever) disk, just like Lomax in the field! Pretty interesting.

See also Mr. Airplane Man, especially their album Red Light.

Solid Blues- Roots rock.......2003-03-12

The Soledad Brothers haven't reinvented the wheel but they do a nice job of being what they try and be. They aren't a blues band any more than other rock-blues types are: Rolling Stones, ZZ Top etc. They are a rock band that borrows sounds and riffs from the blues but never really falls over the fence as a blues band.

The album is good from top to bottom and if you've enjoyed the sounds of the White Stripes De Stijl album or the Detroit Cobras then the Soledad Brothers will likely have a sound that appeals to you.

a different approach.......2003-01-11

The second record of the Soledad Brothers is a lot more experimental than their previous release. This record demonstrates a mellower side of the band as well as songs which are not entirely bluesy. If you are a big fan of the Soledad Brothers, than I would recommend this album so that you may hear a different side of the band. I would not recommend this album to anyone who is not a solid fan.

painful white-boy blues.......2002-10-10

OUCH! This record is painful to listen to. What the world really needs now is another bunch of young white boys wanting to get down and bluesy. The singer's voice is awful - his attempts to howl the blues would make a dog laugh. "Prodigal Stones Blues" is aptly titled as it's basically a very limp re-write of the Rolling Stones "Soul Survivor". The most pathetic thing about this tepid band is how serious they take themselves (see their liner notes) as barers of the blues torch. Fellas, you make Johnny Lang look like Howlin Wolf.
This band has received a bit of attention due to their White Stripes/Detroit connection - I'm sure they would've gone completely unnoticed otherwise. It would be a very, very sad thing if even one young garage rock fan out there buys this album before buying something by Mississippi Fred McDowell, Muddy Waters, Howlin Wolf, Hound Dog Taylor, Jimmy Reed, The Rolling Stones...Christ, they should buy almost anything before buying this.
