Balkan crossroads
Their latest CD may be their best in terms of both their songwriting and playing. It finds them adding a strong streak of Texas influences to the 1960s British blues that had clearly shaped their earlier recordings think Stevie Ray Vaughan sitting in with John Mayall or Savoy Brown. Crnčević is also a brilliant guitarist clean leads, incisive runs, a sure hand on the whammy bar. Whether stretching out for 16 bars on a solo or providing a short fill between choruses, Crnčević consistently shows a wonderful balance of virtuosity and taste. As songwriter, too, Crnčević continues to improve. "Belgrade Blues" is a sort of Balkan take on "Sweet Home Chicago" a broken-hearted love song that just rocks out. And "Roll On" has a sort of Allman Bros. groove to it (in large part due to the soulful electric piano of Darko Grujić). |
