 For
some reason the words I am searching for to start this review will not
come easy, and I have decided that's because everything about This
Frontier Needs Heroes self titled album is difficult. Now, do not be
turned off, please do read on because everyone of the 10 tracks is a
little orgasm for your mind and ears. When I say difficult, I mean it
is an album that is drenched in self reflection, so much so that is
forces the listener to take a small peak inward which as we all know is
not always the easiest thing to do. The Heroes, which is the
brother/sister duo Brad and Jessica Lauretti, communicate their tales
through haunting folk, rustic Americana, roots rock, and REAL blues by
splattering them all over the album. The first track is a perfect
example of the loathing that Brad is going through trying to find inner
peace with the opening line, "How do I get this hatred out of my heart,
how do I get this madness out of my mind." The duo enlists the help of
Ivan Berko (bass), T.K. Webb (electric guitar), Tomchess (flute), and
Gian Luca Zanin (violin) to create the perfect landscape and foundation
for the Lauretti's angelic voices to soar to new heights. The two stand
out songs are the one-two punch of "No More War," and "You Humble Me."
The first is a rocking barn-burner with Grateful Dead inspired solo's
and infectious hand claps, while the latter combines beautifully
plucked acoustic guitars, banjo, and violin with Jessica's gorgeous
background vocals. After his work with previous bands, The Pony Express
and The Mountain Men, it sounds like the secret weapon Brad had been
searching for to allow his music to really shine was none other than
his sister. The next time your fumbling around for something to ease
the transition from the party winding down and daylight creeping in,
you would be hard pressed to find a better companion then This Frontier
Needs Heroes.http://youdonthear.blogspot.com/2009/08/this-frontier-needs-heroes-album-review.html
