HERE ARE SOME COMMENTS FROM NEWSPAPERTAXI.NET IN WHICH JJ VEL PLAYED SOME HARDROCK/BLUES WITH THE SOULRIVER: The band plays laid back all the while that fat Fender Bass fills in the void with its fleshy tone. At mid point every one drops out leaving J.J’s fat ass bass alone and thundering. NEWSPAPERTAXI.NET Bass melodic and sexy, Vocals, sultry and warm. Guitar solos, bluesy and soulful, I can float on this riverboat all night long. The instrumentation falls back one at a time. Vocals exit, then drums, guitar, djembe and we’re left with J.J’s solo melodic bass to take us out. Sweet! NEWSPAPERTAXI.NET hypnotic groove, throbbing + pulsing everyone comes to the front. The band exits on a high note leaving me wanting more. NEWSPAPERTAXI.NET a healthy slice of Soul, Blistering pumping Bass!! Newspapertaxi.net ALL REVIEWS: Reviewed by JAMES B CAVANAUGH
