Donna
Jean Godchaux Band w. Jeff Mattson:
Back Around
What
a great album Donna and her band have created. The production is terrific
and the songs well written and conceived. The performances are off the
charts--Jeff Mattson is a superb guitar player and every one of his solos
and licks on Back Around are 5 star. He is also co-writer of a couple
of tunes on this album with Donna Jean Godchaux and shows his talent as
a songwriter as well as a performer.Donna Jean's voice has never sounded
better than it does right now! The title song, Back Around, is so good
everyone should hear it. All the extra musical touches on this album--from
banjo and tabla touches to the legendary Muscle Shoals Horns--make this
a very special record indeed, And their description of Muscle Shoals Soul
meeting San Francisco Psychedelia is very apt. Form the deep southern
feel of a song like Delta Jubilee to the 60's psychedelia of Darkness
Darkness, to the sheer rock out of 19th Nervous Breakdown to the R&B of
Don't Fight It, there is something for everyone on this CD.
