Search - John Kilzer :: Memory in the Making

Very Poetic Rock

"I have seen John Kilzer perform live over 100 times in the Memphis / Little Rock area. This album is his first and is the most "driving" album he has released. He is a true song writer and artist. He has one other album called "Busman's Holiday" that is out of print and very hard to get. It is more "trippy" than Memory in the Making. It features Bruce Hornsby on Keys and Robby Blunt (Robert Plant Band) on Guitar. Both albums are must haves and if you ever get a chance to see him live either by himself of with a full band, you really need to go. He is definately a real song writer."

This Rocks!

"Early '90s when "Kilzer" was playing all over Arkansas and Memphis.....He was a GOD! He mesmerized the audience with a combo of soulrock and sexy fun!! Sure miss those days."

Perfect blend of hard rock, blues, and pop with great lyrics

"Kilzer's first release in 1988 was a perfect blend of hard rock, blues, and pop stylings. Two songs, "Memory in the Making" and "Red Blue Jeans" saw regular rotation regionally and nationally upon the album's debut. Produced by Ardent Studios' John Hampton(Tommy Keene, Gin Blossoms), "Memory" was rich in lyrical depth deftly delivered by John's Memphis growl. This man knows how to deliver a soulful pop hook without dipping into the usual cliches. The players on this recording are outstanding, most notably guitarist Jack Holder. This album will stick to your ears and not let go. I still find "Memory" in the bins at used C.D. stores and occasionally at Blockbuster and Tower. Look hard, you'll find him. Also recommended: Kilzer's second album, "Busman's Holiday." Similar artists: BoDeans, Colin James, Tom Petty, John Mellencamp."
