Aloa Harris - By the Book 48 |
| >>> REVIEW 'To classify this album as just R&B is misleading, as it contains a wide assortment of music styles. There is old time gospel mixed with soul, jazz with funk, rock with blues and even scat. Just when you thought you knew what to expect, Aloa manages to break the mould and breaks free of being labelled. This is her debut release that has been produced by her husband Rod who is also credited with piano, all other keys, acoustic and electric guitars, bass, drums, percussion, kitchen sink, and background vocals. Aloa and Rod clearly make a synergistic combination, as Aloa has generally written the lyrics whilst Rod the music. The funky bass lines excel throughout the album and are contrasted with the soulful rhythm guitar on the track 'Give me a Drink' inspired by the Biblical story of the woman at the well in John 4. This album reflects a formidably talented couple.' Review - CROSSRHYTHMS |
