Here's What Mercury News, San Jose, CA says about Jason Ricci & New Blood: BEST OF 2005 Best CDs of the year Mercury News Pop music BRIGHT SPOTS IN A BAD YEAR
Not the greatest year I can remember. In fact, this may be the worst. Hell, we don't even have J.Lo to kick around anymore, just the new queen of lame, Ashlee Simpson. At any rate, here's my shot at the picking the best:
1. Coldplay: ``X & Y'' (Capitol Records): The English band, which put out two previous albums that were sweet as cotton candy, and just as tiresome, shows what it can do with an album that is less elevator music, more Radiohead. It's rich, deep and takes a lot of listens to penetrate. No wonder it's not all over the radio, but it was also the disc I played most this year.
2. Kate Bush: ``Aerial'' (Columbia): The seven-year wait was worth it for this double disc, which is as experimental and pleasing as anything by Peter Gabriel or David Bowie. The highest praise you can give some singers is to say they can sing the phone book and make it interesting. Bush goes one better, singing the numbers of the mathematical constant, pi. How wry.
3. Jason Ricci and New Blood: ``Blood on the Road'' (Rah Fox Records, www.jason ricci.com): This power quartet takes me back to the days when blues rock was a lethal weapon, sharp and brutal. The Rolling Stones once sounded this pure, a long, long time ago.
