Like That & The Hitman (not the wrestler ...I checked) is yet another
great Kingston group (well partly) that have not had their talents duly
recognized. Atleast not locally.
Infact
the band is quite popular in the States... most notably Connecticut...
where The Hitman (once again not the wrestler) and the band's extrordinary
lead guitarist Denise reside Anyway it's time the band get thir due respect
and I'll be the one to give it to them. Jam packed full of exquisite harmonies
, screaming lead guitar licks and raunchy female vocals this record really
is a treat to listen to. I immediately fell in love with lead vocalist
Robin Collins' gritty vocals which could be likened to many .. Lita Ford,
Courtney Love , Pat Benatar take your pick. The most common comment about
her raspy vocals is that she sounds like a man. I'm sure Melissa Etheridge
got the same thing. Robin could also draw comparisons to Miss Etheridge....
actually the band covers Melissa Ethridge's "Brave and Crazy" on the album.
The
albums title comes from the band's song "Jezebel" the raunchiest number
on the album (and my personal favorite). Plenty of solid tracks here ....
especially "Comeback", "Forever" and "Black Moon". GLT & HM manage
to combine elements of rock, folk, blues and pop to into a familiar yet
fresh sound that can be both energetic and laid back. This is one band
that has done their homework and spent alot of time practicing ....the
proof is in the pudding as they say.
