 We've always had soft spots in our hearts for Johnette Napolitano's voice and the music of Concrete Blonde, so we were ecstatic when we saw that the trio have reunited to produce a new album, Group Therapy, their first since Mexican Moon.
Once we had it home and in the CD player, we weren't disappointed. Napolitano's voice, James Mankey's guitar, and Harry Rushakoff's drums are as finely honed as ever. The seven-year break since these three last recorded together has, we think, put a patina of experience on their music -- a layer of knowing-about-the-world that almost, but not quite, crosses over into world-weariness.
This is an album that is going to get a lot of play in the Bonzo household.
