Put in the album, though, and hear five men with diverse musical influences, mature vocals and excellent jamming abilities. Breedlove, a band with a great sound and great potential, is well on its way. The album sounds like a jam session caught on tape. Dan Dyer’s vocals have a raw edge that lend a fan tastic voice to the blues-influenced music. Dyer’s voice also reinforces the spontaneous feel to the album. It is honest and not doc- ihderinj tored to perfection. 'RbEVERLY HI Blues influence abounds in fiertcfi Out,the ^ Sin ilia band’s latest album. It’s guitar riffs that conjure _ but be , ( images of B.B. King strumming on “Lucille,"his ^ mec ]ia wc guitar. The album’s songs have more of an edge his house than King’s though, and the blues influences ■sinatra recu yield to rock and jazz. I gn ei gh t< | ay The album’s best track is “Reach Out.”The S tho song showcases the major assets oi the band, d outs | de opening with Ezra Reynolds playing the piano jU M y and organ music reminiscent of a gospel re- || omr nended vival. The song flows into a smooth guitar fol- t j g 0 lowed by Dyer’s unique voice crying out the |0me and | song’s words. “I was down in the desert sand lU; g e st the looked around for a helping hand / I was ;a |^ e thing for alone, I never reached out.” ^ cameras The lyrics of the album are outstanding. ;ainped out at When the vocals fall they rise up and portraya ^ enc j G f ^ choral spectrum of life. From the cries of lost irDeway. Be- love in the song “Devil’s Breath” to the pres sures of society in “Smooth.” The drawback to Breedlove is they do not explore various aspects of their musical style ^ tl ,^ When they do try something new, it sounds lih ieavyweight ch an ’80s pop band doing the blues. You have to jay night to Ev, give them points for trying, though. | ■“Seriously, t The album also loses steam as it progresses ie ter and th The beginning of the album possesses all ofthe he ir concern good material.

We retreat to some place and try to be disconnected from the world. So they drift off into these worlds of madness.
