The other Sisters, Ian Desouza
on bass, Rob Gusevs on keyboards and Gary Taylor
on drums, plus a few special guests rounded out the right
rhythm for both John and Kevin to do their thing. Kevin and/or
John were involved someway in the writing of the seventeen
tracks. The CD kicks off with a raunchy funky tune called “Too
Damn Big” with John and Kevin both wailin’ away. A rollin’
groove flows through “Only One”, with Suzie Vinnick,
takin’ the vocal on the break. The mood slows down a bit on
the bluesy “Big Bomb”. I like the lyrics of the slow
song “Gun” with Kevin’s slide guitar. “L.A” gets
funky again with some nice chorus singing. Definitely my
favourite choice of the tracks is the rockin’ and rollin’ R&B
number “Pralene” with Kevin workin’ the slide again. A
little soul and gospel are felt in the slow ballad “Faithful”.
You get another bit of the feel for the Blues and R&B on “A
Better Way”. A smooth ride is handed out on “Money
Changes Everything”. There’s a New Orleans, funk and pop
beat in the tune “Good Day”. Another one I really like,
of course it has Kevin slidin’, and it rocks, is “Penguin
Walk”. John gets to blow some harp on “Love To Stay,
Gotta Go” which is both haunting and bluesy. Like I said
this is a very interesting CD. It’s different, and I guess
that’s why I like it. Now you know who “JOHN and the
SISTERS” are and what they’re all about.
