Full review

This ten song CD album is the first offering by Devils River
who are a trio from Southport, UK.
Described as a power trio this band have a unique sound
but it is clearly infused with influences from many of the
blues greats such as Hendrix, Leadbelly, and SRV.
There is a rough blues edge to some well crafted songs but
the best thing about this CD is the energy and soul, you can feel
the music as you listen, this isn't just another bland pop offering nor a manufactured soulless blues CD as many pretenders
out there produce. The mini booklet that folds out has some great pics in a collage of the band and various bits and bobs,
something to look at while listening.
Well worth the money and I can't help but feel that this band are going to go on to bigger and better things in the future, definitely ones to watch for.
