Review of our CD from jazzweekly.com !Volcanic Horizon
By George W. Harris
Comprised of Doug Brockie/g/v, Tim Gibson/b and Billy Shields/dr, Volcanic Horizon is a power trio that has deeply imbibed the Hendrix and Deep Purple well. Baptized in the classic rock and blues, the band mixes hard driving rhythms with more licks than a Tootsie Roll Pop. Refreshingly, the lyrics avoid the usual topics of misogyny, nihilism and partying, and instead focus on the more important topics of the condition of one’s heart (“Transformationâ€) and a reason for living (“The Light In My Heartâ€). Musically, the band fires on all eight cylinders, with the dynamic interplay on “Timeslip†a must for getting into. If you want to indulge your inner air guitarist and freshen up your soul, here’s a good place to start.
