Using the Dobro steel guitar to cut deep on tracks such as “Soul,” “Dope” and the title song, the group packs the heat and rocks aggression to work its way into your head and stay there. – Rolling Stone …wailing Robert Plant-style vocals to sliding Dobro guitar riffs -- as a soulfully intense talent who fuses jazz, rock, blues and folk elements to potent impact. – Variety Thankfully, his music is working its way to the masses via launch single "Colorful," a fiery, appreciably organic display of his compelling, untamed vocal stylings, lyrical vulnerability and innate skill with melody. Whether he embraces it or not, the man is a star. "Colorful" is currently working across triple-A radio, but DeLuca and band the Burden have all the markings of the mainstream big time. Not to be missed. - Billboard DeLuca and the Burden's music is a passionate, muscular mix of swampy blues and stomping rock. They're not derivative, but their sound has elements of Dave Matthews Band, Tim Buckley and U2, with hints of Thom Yorke and Lindsey Buckingham in DeLuca's keening voice. - LA Times …the young man who strums a dobro and sings like a 67-year-old black man from the Mississippi delta… - Hits Magazine Rocco DeLuca and The Burden may be the best band you’ve never heard of -Synthesis Magazine Though DeLuca’s years as a singer/songwriter are clearly evident, the record is nevertheless musically cohesive, flowing from track to track with a taste of blues here, a taste of edgy guitar rock there, and no small amount of heartfelt balladry rounding it all out. But through it all, its Rocco DeLuca’s personality- his voice, his lyrics and his guitar playing- that shine through and give the band limitless potential. – Synthesis Magazine Named Rising Artist “New To Q” – Q Magazine (July ’06) …a highly original talent. A promising debut… -UNCUT “Armed with a steel dobro resonator guitar and an unwavering passion for music, Rocco DeLuca and his band The Burden offer an intensely cathartic, emotionally charged take on blues.” – NPR Merging Appalachian folk with Southern blues rock into some sweet form of alternative pop-rock, Rocco DeLuca and his band manage to craft a fine album that’ll have rock-n-roll kids broiling in their seats. – Smother DeLuca’s use of the Dobro steel guitar give his songs a distinctive and rich foundation evident from the first chords of album opener Gift. DeLuca’s background extends beyond the boundaries of blues though and tracks such as the jubilant singalong of Colorful, the country-tinged Mystified, and the six-string workouts of Swing Low and Gravity have drawn comparisons with the likes of Jeff Buckley, Pearl Jam and Led Zeppelin. - CD Times …he has a wickedly passionate and polished debut record that superbly blends blues, punk, metal, folk and – no kidding- Ravi Shankar into something as fresh and compelling as it is old-school. – OC Weekly …a rootsy combination of steel guitar, bass, drums and percussion. - MTV.com |
