The Kinsey Report has always approached the blues with a boisterous mood. Perhaps
they’re just trying to be heard above the clamor and din of their hometown Gary IN steel mills. Those inescapable industrial sounds add nothing to a rehearsal over
at the house. Simpler yet, it could be the Kinsey's still possess a power trio mind-set. If hard hitting blues is what your soul
seeks, give a listen to On the Record
with the Kinsey Report. Take note of
their version of the blues staple “Rock Me.” Everything you’ve ever heard about
the Kinsey Report is here: blues tradition coupled with a dynamic unleashed as
rock-n-roll. For some blues music lovers, the jolt is akin to walking around
the corner into a stiff Chicago wind. But for longtime followers of the Kinsey
brothers this revelation comes as no surprise. Featuring Chicago blues and Kinsey
originals, On the Record is inundated
with a reggae groove--island rock-rhythms on lasting authority from
brother Donald’s days with Peter Tosh. The influence for Donald's sure-handed lead guitar work was
infused during his formative time alongside Albert King (Breaking Up Somebody's Home) and Albert Collins. Recorded on location in Bowling Green, Ohio, this CD/vinyl package offers a documentation of contemporary blues as rendered by veterans with a steadfast grit.
