Ray Bonneville –
Gust Of Wind (Stony Plain): “Ray Bonneville combines electric blues motifs, a light sense of humor, and a pop approach to song-making. On pieces like the opening “Don’t Look Back,” with electric piano from Richard Bell, this combination comes across as a sort of Memphis Randy Newman. Colin Linden here produces this unique, memorable Canadian songwriter on his third album. Linden provides slide, baritone, and other guitar work on the album.

A reverb fan, Volt drenches her slide guitar and Southern-country-sounding singing in the echo effect for “Espìritu Papàgo.” The latter song’s ps
One deep sleeper of 2020: November s
Brand New by Honey Made. Chances are the eight-foot scrim in the front window of Waterloo Records didn t register thanks to the graham cracker album art – and maybe just maybe a global pandemic. Inside the CD, producer (Steve Berlin of Los Lobos), engineer (Jim Vollentine), and studio (Texas Treefort) all make the credits roll, yet zero mention appears of the actual group turning soul-infused retro nectar into viscous ear candy.
Online, however, behold a nonet straight outta the Stax/Volt annals: three pieces of brass punctuating a trio of Black vocalists – Donald Ford Jr. and brothers Chris (also drums) and Willie Barns II – overlaid atop a triptych of Caucasian rhythm pushers (keys, bass, percussion). Party band proclaims the locals website, and indeed, several of the 10 tracks do a Dirty Sixth Street shuffle.
