MUSIK AN SICH • GERMANY

Kimon & The Prophets is a trio featuring singer, guitarist and namesake Kimon Katafigiotis (which already released four CDs under his own name), which moves in the big intersection of blues, rock and funk. Offered here is nothing new or even innovative, but it is played with it all the more heart and soul. Roadhouse Party contains 16 songs here, some homegrown players, but some (including such classics as "Fire" (Jimi Hendrix), "Peace Love And Understanding" (Nick Lowe), "Heroes," "Rebel Rebel" Both David Bowie) and "The Boys of Summer" (Eagles).

The three musicians are no beginners on their instruments. You can tell that everyone was already several years in various formations on the move. The rhythm section lays a good groove, which can break loose on the guitar by Kimon. In places this is somewhat reminiscent of Stevie Ray Vaughan, without quite reaching its class can. The vocals and production technology also is all green.

Although all the songs are good, superior average, but it is not more. Even the cover songs are well aware to please, but that should not be enough to lift Kimon & The Prophets of the great mass of really good releases.

As an incentive to purchase the enclosed DVD could be used, which shows four videos, three live acoustic performances and rehearsed three videos to songs from the solo CDs by Kimon. This is a nice addition. Friends of the Blues and Blues-Rock Roadhouse Party should simply antesten times.
