The Milwaukee-based quintet Altered Five Blues Band is the first artist to join the roster of the esteemed blues/roots label Blind Pig Records since it was acquired by The Orchard, one of the largest independent distributors in the world. The band’s label debut, “Charmed & Dangerous,” was produced by multi-Grammy-winner Tom Hambridge (Buddy Guy, Susan Tedeschi, George Thorogood, James Cotton) and will be released worldwide August 11. This highly anticipated reunion of Hambridge, who also played drums on the album, and the A5 songwriting team marks the fourth full-length album for the band. The 13 new tunes cover the gamut of hard driving blues, house rocking soul, and classic R&B all designed to feature the infectious vocals of Jeff Taylor, whose bravado and full-throated baritone sounds like B.B. King, Big Joe Turner and Bobby “Blue” Bland all rolled into one.
Taylor spells out all his manly attributes that read like a rock-star resume in the opening title track, then keeps the positive vibes flowing on the upbeat shuffle ‘Mint Condition.’ For the foot stomping blues ‘Three Forks’ the band delivers a clever reworking of Robert Johnson’s seminal classic ‘Crossroads,’ by writing a new set of lyrics that pay tribute to the Delta Blues of 1938 and all those how have ventured down to Clarksdale seeking to uncover her mysteries. A sharp guitar riff from Jeff Schroedl sets up the angular blues confessional ‘On My List to Quit,’ and Taylor plays the bard with quick witted prose on the sonnet ‘If Your Heart Went Public.’ The jumpin’ track ‘Gonna Lose My Lady’ is a hip shaking boogie and the greasy slow blues ‘Cookin’ In Your Kitchen’ is a tasty treat full of hot licks on piano from Raymond Tevich and more scorching leads from Schroedl. The gang ramps up the energy for ‘She’s Still Crazy,’ adding harmonica from Steve Cohen to create a very Junior Wells like vibe, while bassist Mark Solveson propels the groove with a steady, angular line. Look for an upcoming video for the sentimental ballad ‘Eighth Wonder,’ that features Candice Smith on soaring backup vocals.
The band gets down to business for the driving blues rocker ‘Three Alarm Desire,’ followed by more grit and groove on the straight-ahead mover ‘Small Talk’ that features sweet Hammond B3 from Tevich. The band goes deeper for the heavy rocker ‘Rotten,’ laying down a bit of Deep Purple styled thunder. Finally, the happy go lucky swing of the sardonic ‘Look What You Made Me Do’ closes out the set with Taylor leading the crew through some old timey blues. The new album from Altered Five Blues Band is perfectly titled, as this team is exactly as advertised, a “Charmed & Dangerous” group of very talented players. who are on their game. Rick J Bowen
''Ripping up the Midwest band scene for over a decade… Jeff Schroedl's stiletto guitar licks slice around Jeff Taylor's strong, gravelly voice.'' –Living Blues
''An outstanding blues and soul band… barrel-chested frontman Jeff Taylor's voice sounds like it was lifted off an old Stax 45.'' –Minneapolis Star Tribune
''Explosive, hard driving blue collar rockin blues….muscular blues mixed with vintage soul designed to showcase the mighty vocals of frontman Jeff 'JT' Taylor –No Depression
