at the right moments. Highly recommended."
Powerful And Inspiring Roots Rock CD
"A Gift of Love" by Second Wind Bandits is a roots rock album filled with inspiring and powerful songs. The arrangements are filled with great melodic layers and driving beats, while singer/songwriter Bill Mulroney delivers passionate lyrics with a distinctly superior singing ability. The production behind the album is top-notch. It is skillfully mixed and mastered with the vocals up front and well represented instrumentation behind. The Beatles influence shines through brightly on this CD. This is a professionally crafted group of songs ready for airplay. Highlights are the opener "Stockbridge Bound," setting the tone right from the start of the CD with a powerful arrangement and vocal performance to tell the tale of Moses. "Baby Let's Ride" features a more intimate arrangement highlighted by country based instruments and another captivating vocal performance. A dirty bass line coupled with vocals, opens "Hey Babe" to set up the burst into a powerful chorus. This album is a great collection of musical work. You will enjoy it if you long for solidly crafted folk rock with fantastic vocal performances.
This has to be one of the albums of the year! Its presentation, delivery and production has everything in the right place.
Sounds Great!
Personally, I love\'Lovers Never Rest on Sunday\' (tell that to the
missus please) and "Save Yourself" whilst my lady absolutely loves the
your delivery of the old standard "Kansa City"; and, as a live
recording, it is outstanding.
Brilliant album!
Will definately receive airplay on my radio show at
Radio Logan Inc. 101fm Queensland "'Down Under" Oz
