The John Bush Band - Somebody Tell Alina (2015)

The brand-new John Bush Band offers up a 10 song CD that oozes rock and soul, Aus-Tex style. Bush, whose life as a professional musician involves percussive stints in such acts as Patrice Pike, Greezy Wheels, and New Bohemians ,steps out from the congas and trap sets and transforms into a full-blown front man.Bush plays all the percussion on this, as one expects he would in the studio. [When he goes live, usually it is Seth Orell on the traps.] But he gets to break out his vocal chops here. And while Bush is no Caruso or Mercury on the pipes, he has his own unique vocal charm that is perfect for this vehicle.
