CD ReviewsSupreme Rockin' Soul. Don Diego Decordona | The Forest of Feelings | 11/25/2008 (5 out of 5 stars) "If one were to imagine the perfect house band for Quentin Tarantino/Wes Anderson, it would have to be King Khan and the Shrines. King Khan, has been making dead on excellent rhythm and blues tinged soul music for over 10 years now. If you are now just discovering his excellent musical offerings by way of collaborative efforts with BBQ, or a certain refined taste in music, you will not be disappointed with the King Khan and the Shrines. Khan and the Supreme's play true mainly to the sounds of Booker T & the M.G.'s., as well certain parts of James Brown and Prince. These sounds have been long forgotten, or lost amongst the aurally challenged hordes tripping over themselves to download/steal/buy the latest Mp-3's from Lil Wayne, Kanye West, T.I., T-Pain, Ne-yo, Nickelback and countless other chromosomal challenged artists. Rock on Soul Brother!" Supreme! Rick Garcia | 01/01/2009 (5 out of 5 stars) "Think Fleshtones meet Stax, and you're somewhere near the sound of King Khan and the Shrines. It rocks! Try the freebies first, and if you can dig, take a chance on the rest. Stand out tracks-"I Wanna Be a Girl," "Live Fast Die Strong," and the soulful "Welfare Bread." Good sound, punchy fast songs, a horn section, what's not to love?" Lively, Raucous Tunes Bernard Chapin | CHICAGO! USA | 12/27/2008 (5 out of 5 stars) "My buddy was smart enough to buy this CD while I purchased What Is? instead. I had never heard of these guys before seeing King Kahn and BBQ on Halloween in Wicker Park. It was a heckuva show. I try to stay current with my music so we downloaded their tunes the very next day--and I'm still listening to them. The full size band and horns make for a pretty unique sound. Yeah, it's derivative but most artists are nowadays. It's the early New York sound mixed with ska and a refined Bowie thrown in. Most of these songs are better than average, and they're thick; meaning that they grow on you with time rather than bore you with time. The best of them has to be "No Regrets" which is one of the kickingest songs ever (a great video version of it can be found on Kahn's MS page). Also, I'm a big fan of "Welfare Bread," and "How Can I Keep You." King Kahn's the type of guy who keeps you optimistic concerning the new music."
