You’re Welcome Steve Whiteman Red String Music

I was given the privilege to review the debut album from STEVE WHITEMAN. Thirty - five years into his singing career with KIX, STEVE WHITEMAN has released his very first solo album, YOU”RE WELCOME. WHITEMAN has recruited longtime friends BRAD DIVENS, BOB PARÉ and JIMMY CHALFONT to record with him. Plunging into the first track ‘Easy’, fans will notice a reference to KIX music. No stranger to songwriting, it combines the perfect blend of rhymes and riffs together with a hard rock commercial twist. Track 03, ‘Get The Wild Out’ possesses a tight rhythm section all working as one and you can tell they have worked together in the past. Track 04, ‘Shock’ is one of my favorites. Track 06 ‘Bad Blood’ is a fast, rockin’ tune with WHITEMAN breaking out the harmonica. Next, track 07, ‘Kid Dynamite’ absolutely rocks and has a slightly different edge to it. I found the double guitar lead most appealing. Now with track # 10 ‘Tug of Luv’, I think STEVE WHITEMAN fans will agree that it sounds the most like KIX. On track 11, ‘Do Me Like You Done Me Before’ contains elements of some very early rock and roll influences. Released July 02 2021 the album boasts twelve tracks. Can’t wait for the tour to begin!

Returning after 40 years, TOUCH have a new album. It’s called TOMORROW NEVER COMES. Equipped with outstanding musicianship and production, you will need a full hour to complete this listening experience. Members include guitarist / vocalist CRAIG BROOKS, keyboardist / vocalist MARK MANGOLD, bassist DOUG HOWARD, and on the drums GLENN KITHCART. Beginning ominously with classical piano, rock guitar and thunderous drums, yet soon after soaring high lead vocals come into the picture on the title track ‘Tomorrow Never Comes’. You can look for the video on their website. Track 02, ‘Let It Come’ is more guitar based rock n’ roll. Track 03, ‘Swan Song’ is rather epic. Keyboard driven this time, the song goes through many changes including an extremely nice long instrumental passage with a time signature in 6/8. Probably just a hint too long for some media to stream, but I think it’s one of the best cuts on the record. Track 05, ‘Fire And Ice’; wow, feel like I’m listening to a different band! I really like the way these guys can create a genuineness to their music with such conviction. Everything seems so well thought out and polished. A soundscape of guitar and keyboards open track 10, ‘Scream At The Sky’ and shows the many sides of this band. Here’s to a bright future for TOUCH! You can follow them by clicking the link below.
