ARENA ALAN Deceived

Popis:

Singer and guitarist Alan Arena brings a deep set of blues rockers together on this latest release. The team of Paul Nelson/g, Brad Hallen/b, Marty Richards/dr, Brooks Milgate/p-org and Stephens Clements/perc bring in some cameo guests for some clever originals. Arena comes off as a storyteller here, spinning yards as the fun “Big Black Cat”, the autobiographic “Raised On Radio” and the Memphis swamp of “Devil In The Bottle”, all backed by some hip riffs. He glides over a Latin pulse on “Deceived” and wails along Jerry Portnoy’s heavy harp on Memphis Slim’s “Mother Earth”, while searing over Richards’ snappy sticks on “Hypnotized”. Blues swayed.
