Album Description The Soledad Brothers have a history that is inextricably linked to their Detroit cohorts The White Stripes, and the Soledad sound is about what you'd expect from a band that began recording in Jack White's living room. Borrowing liberally from the Stones and the Velvets - as well as most of the requisite blues icons - Voice of Treason is an engaging roadhouse stomp that makes for a mean soundtrack to either a night of excess or a night out on the open road. Frontman Johnny Walker puts a likeable strut into his singing, and he has enough charisma to be convincing even when the music isn't doing much to support him. The album gets off to an inauspicious start with three by-the-book barroom rockers that, while enjoyable, could be the work of a thousand other bands. Smash. 2005. Similar CDs

CD ReviewsSoledad justs keeps getting better! Brando Roman | Reno, NV | 11/11/2003 (5 out of 5 stars) "Once again, these gentlemen have managed to capture the essence of how modern rock and roll should sound. Rooted of course in blues, Johnnie, Ben and Oliver have expanded their sound to include a more eclectic nature. But, the core of the album still has these 3 men from Ohio rocking and having a lot of fun doing it. I highly recomend this album if you would like to hear a creative, fresh interpertation of the blues and the horde of rock artists to spawn from its influence." The real deal.... alexander laurence | Los Angeles, CA | 02/07/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) " The Soledad Brothers have been around for ten years, and they may one of the last Detroit bands from the scene that spawn The White Stripes and The Von Bondies. They have released many albums but nothing that expresses their rage and glory. Voice of treason may that record that catapults them into the forebrain of the collective imagination. They are dedicated to the blues. "Cage That Tiger" is a sign of good things to come. Some bands think that they are playing the blues, but listen to things like "Son of Dogs" and you know that this band is the rightful heir to John Lee Hooker and Canned Heat. I look forward to checking these guys out live for real. They seem like a band that should break out. The blues live on in this music. " Great Potential & Poor Production gary allen | sunnyvale, california United States | 02/16/2006 (3 out of 5 stars) "This cd could have been twice as good as it is if these guys would hire a bass player and upgrade there recording production. Half of the songs are "tinny" and are definetly lacking a bass line to drive the melody's. These guys have got potential though. There music is kinda alt-blues-rocky. They are somewhat trying to come off as 'White Strip-ish" with the guitar,drum, no bass gig. It works ok on 1/2 the songs, but the other half aren't all that good with this kind of set up. There are 5 or 6 decent songs, and the rest are below average. Three stars tops.
