Soledad Brothers Artist Snapshot:

Many garage-blues bands sprang up (or were given a new lease on life) after the success of the White Stripes, but few were as musically adventurous as Ohio's Soledad Brothers (who had some musical kinship ties with Jack and Meg White). The trio, led by guitarist Johnny Walker, explored pensive chamber-jazz, sloppy Brit-rock, and other related styles, following their muse rather than a formula. Along the way they released four solid albums (and some blistering live recordings) that garnered enthusiastic press if not instant fame. The band split in 2006, but Walker has gone on to play with the Cut In The Hill Gang.

Review

Rolling Stone (p.66) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "The prolific Detroit foursome kicks out solid, harmonica-laced blues riffs without sounding derivative or cheesily nostalgic."
Uncut (p.100) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "THE HARDEST WALK sees them ditch revolutionary rhetoric altogether for powerhouse boogie."

Title Note

Soledad Brothers: Johnny Walker (vocals, guitar); Oliver Henry (guitar, saxophone); Dechman (lap steel guitar, banjo, sitar, cello, Fender Rhodes piano, organ, synthesizer, bass instrument, maracas); Ben Swank (drums).

Contemporaries of the White Stripes, Detroit's bass guitar-less Soledad Brothers aspire to the grainy, trebly, raw rock sound perfected by the Stooges in the 1960s and early '70s, taking their musical cues from '60s garage rock, the MC5, and the early Rolling Stones. "Downtown Paranoia Blues" and "Crooked Crown" are quintessential Motor City rock & roll, while "Good Feeling" falls midway between perky sunshine pop and psychedelia. Speaking of which, on "Loup Garou," the band appear to have indulged wholesale in the pill that makes you larger, while the Incredible String Band-like "True to Zou-Zou" bears distinct traces of the one that makes you small.
