CD ReviewsPapa John was the Rock Father! D. G. Luttrell | Colorado | 04/01/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "I don't know if Papa John's back up band was weak, or he was just too
good? After decades of giggin' jazz clubs, and classy joints, he became an overnight sensation when "Hot Tuna" "found" him. I'm glad they did, don't get me wrong. But the man had a career before becoming an overnight sensation. I mean from his "debut' on the "Hot Tuna" album "Burgers", he caught my ears right away, believe me "Hot Tuna" needed him more than he needed them. And from the following four albums he built up much street credit with them crazy eyed white people, the "Papa John Creach" album where he played with anybody and everybody who is anybody in the music scene in San Francisco, his album "Filthy" where he showed that funk/jazz/old standards and rock could live in the same album cover, to "Playing my fiddle for you", where he rocked out a little more, at the expense of the funk, and the CD were talking about currently, "The Rock Father", and the album lives up to the billing, very funk/rock fusion, from "Travlin' on" to the "Orange Blossom Special" this disc was something special, I would not suggest this album for you pale, effete, minimalist, eurothrash types, its realisim, warmth, and in your ear soul/rock will give you heart palpatations. I really wanted to give this disc a four, because of the weakness of "Midnight Sun" the backing band, but Papa John Creach pulls it through with his astounding musical presence and ability. " |
