Melenhead
is a band that's not just good but exceptional. James Dziubia's horn skills
(tenor and baritone saxophone) are nothing short of awe-inspiring, and he's
backed by the equally talented Colin Kenny (lead guitar), Doug Leibinger (bass,
baritone saxophone), and Stewart Jean (drums). Their collective talent serves
up a well-balanced attack of rock and intro that's a testament to their skill
and dedication.
The
saxophone's poignancy is prevalent in each song, changing the feeling and
atmosphere with a richness and flavor that I find beyond compare. The
saxophone's soulful sound, often associated with R&B and Soul, flows like a
river through the elemental foundations of surf and rock, adding emotional
depth to the music.
It's
interesting when you listen to such simple and free music, how it can become so
ever-changing and complex with adding one instrument. When one looks at that
one aspect it doesn't change the fact that it remains, and is, kick ass rock n'
roll music. Alas, many facets are found within the music if you can listen well
enough.
I
could feel the warmth of the sun and a cold glass of lemonade traveling down my
throat. Oh, the visionary power of music—isn't it beautiful? This set my soul
free. It may be temporary, but it felt terrific while it lasted.
