Synopsis

Product Description
From the British blues boom of the 1960s emerged some exceptional individual musicians: Cyril Davies, Eric Clapton and Peter Green being among the most notable. But there was no doubt that the Aynsley Dunbar Retaliation took the prize as the most talented blues band, one with no weak links. Although rarely mentioned in the same breath as Ginger Baker, Keith Moon or John Bonham, all the musicians knew that Aynsley Dunbar was a world-class drummer in any popular genre, easily a match for the better-known names. Together with bassist Alex Dmochowski, they formed a rhythm section unmatched on the blues scene for its drive, finesse and the ability to swing. In Victor Brox, the Retaliation had one of Britain s finest blues singers, a multi-instrumentalist and prolific composer. Uniquely among the blues bands, the majority of the Retaliation s recorded output was self-penned, most of it written by Brox. And guitarist John Morshead provided a master class in less is more ; a blues player of taste and fluency rivalled only by Peter Green.

After the successful re-releases of his catalogue albums, now comes the brand new studio album, Mutiny , recorded with a vast array of seasoned Blues-Rock session players.
 

CD Reviews

It's okay

(3 out of 5 stars)

"i was disappointed with this new release. i had my hopes it was a blusey cd such as his Retaliation releases. i was hoping it was a reunion sort of thing. well, it's not. more rock than blues and quite frankly, pretty typical rock/blues cd. there are some cover songs; "for what it's worth", zappa's "chunga's revenge" and procol harum's "juicy john pink." they don't improve on the originals. for as long as mr. dunbar has been around and the diverse bands he has played in, i was hoping for something more unique and special. if i had to compare this with someone else, i'd say the later Mountain or Leslie West's stuff. Good, but nothing that will get more than a spin or two. Go for his early material."
