.. OVERVIEW ROCK, COUNTRY & JAM MEETS THE OLD TESTAMENT BY WAY OF THE BASEMENT TAPES, INSPIRED BY THE FILMS OF LUIS BUNUEL Originally seen in step with Indy Rock and Americana, the first official release under the Bravo Johnson name was "Aimlessly Drifting" (Stone Junction 2006). The album was assisted by Hendrik Roever and Inaki Garcia. Described in the Tom Petty-styled Americana vein with a take on vocal harmonies and jangly guitars that borrowed as much from the Byrds and Gene Clark as it did from Zeppelin. The songs had been primped and preened into sophisticated pieces in which Roever's guitar, in particular, was used with spectacular versatility, peeling off blues-rockabilly leads in the showboating manner of R&B guitarists like Ike Turner and Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown. THE CROOKED AND THE STRAIGHT (Stone Junction 2008) Fast forward two years during which Hendrik and Los Deltonos shared stage with acts like DBT, WILCO, GOV’t MULE, QOTSA, and Bravo presents a truckload of new songs. Taking a systematic, unhurried approach, the artist introduces The Crooked and the Straight (Stone Junction, 2008) a double CD that deftly mines Americana, Rock 'n Roll, alternative Country and Rhythm & Blues moulding styles at will and proving with their rock collage of musical styles, oblique, ironic lyrics -with references to the Old Testament by way of the Basement Tapes, inspired by the films of Luis Bunuel- why they are one of the most promising acts to appear in the last couple of years. There are plenty of solid tunes all peeking their heads through the band's established not so hard-rock sound. There are mellow intimate tunes and amp to 11 anthems alike and plenty of subversive elements that split the difference which probably exile it from the land of true Americana and into classic rock territory. |
