REVIEW FROM ROCHESTER NY JAZZ FESTIVAL

I used to hear hip musicians perform and wonder if it was something in the water that got their musical mojo working. But after seeing Devon Allman's Honeytribe play a set at Harro East Ballroom, I'm convinced it's in the genes (he's the son of the legendary Gregg Allman). The band played a set of classic rock that teetered on the edge of jazz, straight shuffles, and jam-band/fusion at times. But what really got me was his version of Bob Marley's "No Woman No Cry." Allman used the wah pedal with such wizardry that he practically talked through it when he played.

DEVON ALLMAN'S HONEYTRIBE Torch Provogue (2007)


Son of Gregg Allman, Devon's own band has a hint of the Allman Brothers sound about them as you would expect but they go off in lots of other musical directions as well. The title track opens the album in fine style and Devon has a very rich, melodic voice which really suits the music. A good example of this is the cover of the Bob Marley classic 'No Woman, No Cry' which gets a more soulful feel added to it – very enjoyable. Blues guitar maestro Joe Bonamassa pops up on the hard rocking blues of 'Mercy Mercy', whilst the album closer 'Nothing To Be Sad About' is a damn fine feel good tune steeped in southern rock yet modern and fresh sounding. Possibly the best song on a very strong album. There are two instrumentals, both of which don't outstay their welcome and the acoustic '511 Texas Avenue' is a very personal piece of music dedicated to Devon's late grandparents. Some excellent guitar on this as there is throughout the album.

A really strong, enjoyable album that crosses blues, southern rock, a little bit of soul and even AOR. They are touring Europe at the end of the year and I for one want to hear these songs performed live.

Devon Allman's Honeytribe :: 09.12.07 :: Varsity Theatre :: Baton Rouge, LA


Hot, rainy nights on the Mississippi Delta were made for one thing – the blues. This was the scene outside of Baton Rouge's Varsity Theatre, where a small crowd of Louisiana faithful gathered to partake in Devon Allman and Honeytribe's best. With a familiar rasp, a howl all his own and a fiery guitar hand, Allman fronts a band whose energy, talent and zeal combine to form an original blues-rock experience that's bound to turn heads wherever they show up. It's been 23 consecutive months on the road for the Honeytribe, who've been earning their stripes in much the same way the elder Allman Brothers Band once paved their way into rock n' roll immortality.
Warming the stage for Honeytribe were Fort Collins, Colorado's Green Lemon, whose heavy psychedelic stylings and penchant for dense, instrumental jams have them poised to fill late night slots on the festival circuit in the near future.

With the crowd energized and the evening's storm settling into the background, Honeytribe humbly took the stage and launched into the jazzy, instrumental "Mahalo" (Hawaiian for "Thank You"). Showing no signs of road weariness, they fell right into its rich, guitar driven groove as keyboardist Jack Kirkner weaved into and out of Allman's melodic riffs, which rung home atop the track's up-tempo, syncopated foundation. Next, they showcased their blues chops giving spirited renditions of Junior Wells' "Checking On My Baby" and B.B. King's "Sweet Little Angel."



After announcing that it was Kirkner's birthday, Allman, clearly comfortable in front of a crowd, smiled and without hesitation responded, "You got it," to a fan that yelled for "Perfect World" from Honeytribe's debut album, Torch. They tore through the tune with Allman's howling vibrato steering the hard blues ride into a rocking "Mercy, Mercy," also from Torch. Following a slight pause, Kirkner's B3 eased into the Bob Marley classic "No Woman, No Cry," which took on a new shape as Kirkner's melody lines met Allman's wah-drenched solos.
Midway through the Double Trouble-esque "Why You Wanna Bring Me Down," the band soloed themselves off the stage until bassist George Potsos stood alone to deliver a filthy extended solo complete with slapping, popping and tapping between bouts of playing behind his head. Soon, drummer Mark Oyarzabal joined in, and once Kirkner made his way to back onto the stage the three-piece struck into a tease of Rush's "Tom Sawyer." With Allman back in the fold, they made their way into the Allman Brothers Band's "Jessica" before winding back to "Why You Wanna Bring Me Down." After taking it down a notch with the balladry of "When I Call Home," Honeytribe struck right back into the blues with the heavy "Heaven Has No Mercy," whose outro delivered the surprise of the night – a sweeping version of Prince's "Purple Rain." Appearing just as surprised with the cover choice as the audience, the lively quartet closed with the boisterous shuffle "Nothing To Be Sad About."

Allman reappeared shortly thereafter, alone for the encore and dedicated "511 Texas Avenue" - a compelling instrumental reminiscent of ABB's "Little Martha" - to his grandparents. Kirkner returned to join Allman for a chilling version of the ABB's "Melissa..."

Next, Potsos and Oyarzabal rejoined their mates for a virtual encyclopedia of classic rock anthems. They began with Skynyrd's "Sweet Home Alabama" before latching onto Pink Floyd's "Money," whose raucous bass groove flowed seamlessly into the power blues of Cream's "Sunshine of Your Love." That tapped into Van Halen's "Eruption" en route to Zeppelin's "Heartbreaker" prior to stopping in on the folk staple "House of the Rising Sun" done like The Animals' hit version. This led into the Chili Pepper's rendition of Stevie Wonder's "Higher Ground" and a case of Ted Nugent's "Cat Scratch Fever" before planting their roots down firmly into the ABB's "One Way Out." Whew!
Delivering an exciting, eclectic set, Devon Allman's Honeytribe showed once again why they have been winning fans all across the country. Before packing up their gear and heading to the next gig, the band spent the rest of the night meeting, mingling and drinking with their fans - no VIP required.

Expect a big 2008 from Honeytribe. After finishing up the year in Europe, they'll return Stateside to take refuge at Miami's famed Criteria Studios (yes, the studio where Derek and the Dominos logged Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs) to record the follow-up to Torch.

I was blown away by how technically proficient they are, both musically, and vocally. They've been able to pull from so many different influences, that they are able to blend it fluidly to develop a new sound. Couldn't think of anything better to do than sit and eat at the best Greek restaurant in the state and listen to Honeytribe!

This cd rocks, blues, and instrumental. Great!! Highly recommed to any cd collection.

This CD strikes a real chord for a lover of blues based rock and roll. It makes me hungry for the next release by HONEYTRIBE ASAP!

Despite the fact that most of the songs on this CD were either recorded live by a fan, or just a demo of songs recorded at home, it is AMAZING! Devon has a bluesy, powerful, soulful voice and is an excellent guitarist! The band is tight, and I can't say enough good things about this band and the CD. Get it now!! Can't wait for the new CD, Torch! If you get a chance to see Devon and The Tribe live, run, don't walk to get tickets!!

Of course I bought the CD because of Devon's name but knowing every sibling that has come from 'the family' has been on the mark so receiving the CD was a joy. Now release the studio album, Please. If you are trying to decide if to buy this CD or not, BUY IT!

I have yet to see these guys live, but this CD will hold me over for another couple weeks 'til I get up to NYC to see them. Not only are the live tracks kickin', but the bonus studio tracks leave me wondering what other kickass tunes they're gonna conjure up for the new CD! Phenomenal, flooring, good vibin' blues....nothing else like it.
