Description
The trio of Matthew Reed, Patrick Reed and Kevin Shubak - heretofore known as Mount Carmel - hails from Columbus, Ohio. Mount Carmel is a straight-up blues rock power trio. These guys have been weened on a diet almost steadfastly consisting of British blues/rock innovators: Peter Green-era Bluesbreakers, Cream and Ten Years After are immediately recognizable in their sound (in fact, the latter`s `Hear Me Calling` is covered on here). Good, old-fashioned rock `n` roll, plain and simple. The piquancy of 70s-era redbud fusing with the aroma of banana- (or strawberry-) scented paper burning and hanging in the air, the sweet cascade of Ripple hitting the back of your throat, the blurry exotica of Rorer`s ubiquitous 714... it`s all here, undeniably, unpretentiously and unwittingly realized.
