Listen To Samples Here... http://www.jimallchin.com/albums/qed/ Following Review Excerpt Courtesy Of Bman's Blues Report I just received the newest release (September 10, 2013), Q. E. D. from Jim Allchin and it's really quite remarkable. Opening with Stop and Go, a Chuck Berry meets Foghat rocking and rompin boogie track, Allchin continues where he left off on his last release, Overclocked, with flawless screaming guitar riffs. On Gettin Old, a swing blues, Brooke Lizotte adds subtle key work to the bottom and Allchin effectively uses volume swells to punctuate his guitar solos. Organ solos by Lizotte and horn work by New York Brass punch up the track. On Chime Blues, a bluesy ballad, Allchin sets the mood with creamy chords and Ben Smith plays crisp drum basics. A funky Latin style lead carves a path and Allchin really lets the dog out. With warm guitar tones and Allchin plays a very clean instrumental track. Reap What You Sow is a contemporary rock boogie with scorching hot guitar riffs and tight rhythm section as a backer. A likely track for radio airplay. Mycle Wastman sings really sweet lead on Trust Me, a soulful blues track back by heavy horns and some of the tastiest lush tones put down by Allchin to date. Lizotte really digs in on the piano on this track with horns blazing making this one of the best tracks on the release.
