Shifting Tides
"Continued success! - A cool, telling album cover of change through an all-seeing, seasoned eye, BAMM's new LP, SHIFTING TIDES, wraps a Southern-style blues, country, jazz rock mix sound like that of the Marshall Tucker Band.
A group of eight powerfully-entertaining songs--with a throughline of moving forward, introspection, and the want/need/ desire to become a better person--is found in ST. Lead vocalist, singer-songwriter Bo Messer delivers expressive lyrics with masterful vocal performances, while the instrumental-like jamming band plays each tune in rhythm to solid earworm-rocking perfection.
From eye-opening recall-themed songs like "Nature" & "Mountain,"
to take-me-away-ballad-like anthems as in "Bad Habits" &
"Answers," interactive talking (in-song) chatter (that works so well) in
"Think About It," to stand-out drum solo in "Different Shades" and wickedlv-sweet violin match in line in "Wasted Time," and "Travelin' Jones" an all-out kickin' surprise, every track on this album has good purpose and complements the other while convincingly telling its own compelling tale.
Interconnecting in the most subtle, effective ways, all shines here as a concept album. Don't pass this one up. It's quite the gem that BAMM had promised." - Chris Buono
