LET LOVE SHOW THE WAY by Simo
(Provogue Records)
A chaotic collision between the heavy southern rock vibe of Gov't Mule meets bluesy vibe of The Allman Brothers taken to a whole new level, but those would be the nearest reference points. That is the best way I could describe 'Let Love Show The Way', the latest release from the Blues trio, Simo. Comprised of, singer-guitarist JD Simo, drummer Adam Abrashoff and bassist Elad Shapiro. The album was recorded at the legendary Big House in Macon (Georgia), the communal home of the Allman Brothers Band. Recording there must have really rubbed off because what these gents created here is simply mind blowing! This recording is filled to the brim with great instrumental work, amazingly soulful and powerful vocals, and incredibly potent songwriting. As soon as you press play your senses are bombarded with some of the hottest blues/rock you'll ever experience. All thirteen tracks are amazing. Highlights include, "Stranger Blues", followed by the Allman Bros inspired vibe of rocking, jam "Two Timmim' Woman", followed by, "Can't Say Her Name" and "I Lied" and my personal favorites, "Long May You Sail" and "I'd Rather Die In Vain". The production is quite amazing, with guitar and bass sounds like you've never heard before. 'Let Love Show The Way' is hard edged and takes no prisoners. The synergy of this band is like few others. If you are a Southern Rock, Blues, or Classic Rock fan, I highly recommend this album to you. You WILL NOT be disappointed. - Highly Recommended
