JARED JAMES NICHOLS
"Jared James Nichols" (Round
Hill Records (Frontline); 2023)
Reviewed by Snidermann
There is just something about a three piece rock'n'roll band to get the musical juices flowing. Jared James Nichols has played with (and learned from) various musicians such as Joe Bonamassa, Peter Frampton, Slash, Billy Gibbons and Zakk Wylde, just to name a few.
There is something raw and driving about this music. Unlike some other three man bands out there, that use over dubs and recording tricks to enhance their music, JJN uses nothing of the sort. All his band does is play straight-forward music with more than a bit of a kick. I can only imagine what this shit sound like live and hopefully I will get a chance to witness that myself soon.
JJN is what you want to hear when listening to a three piece rock outfit: raw, gritty with no bullshit. JJN has been around for awhile and, if his other music is anything like this recording, we are all in for a treat.
Joining Jared on this recording are Dennis Holm on drums and Diego Edsel on bass.

Rating Guide:
A classic. This record will kick your ass.
Killer. Not a classic but it will rock your world.
So-so. You've heard better.
Pretty bad. Might make a nice coaster.
Self explanatory. Just the sight of the cover makes you wanna hurl.
