Storyville- Dog Years
Amazon.com Featuring former members of Stevie Ray Vaughan, Joe Ely, and John Mellencamp's backing bands, Storyville, one would figure, would have nothing but blues and roots rock swimming in their gene pool. Guess again. On its third album, the Austin, Texas, quintet is much more funky and hard-rocking than can rightly be expected for a band with its pedigree. With Malford Milligan's soulful vocalizing providing supple counterpoint to the potent guitar tandem of David Grissom and Dave Holt, Storyville blusters through everything from slightly spacey rockers ("Fairplay") to heartfelt ballads ("Talk to Me"). While they don't do anything overtly adventurous here--like, say, cover Peter Gabriel (as they did on their 1994 debut, Bluest Eyes)--they aren't likely to be mistaken for just another run-of-the-mill Texas barbecue-and-boogie outfit. --Michael Evans Product Description After the success of their 1994 debut release, the Bluest Eyes, and the critically acclaimed Atlantic set, a Piece of Your Soul, Storyville returns with a new album. Produced by Bonnie Raitt guitarist Stephen Bruton, Dog Years is a smokin' collection of songs that draw freely from such diverse sources as blues, soul, funk and good ol' Texas rock & roll. Emphasis tracks: "Don't Make Me Suffer" and "Born Without You."
