The bald, slightly overweight but damn likeable American has assembled a few musicians around him and now draws his own thing. The result is an entertaining piece of music divided into eleven tracks that take in contrast to Tenacious D material is quite correct serious despite a good sense of humor. The acoustic guitar virtuoso has with Tenacious D Live-companion and guitarist John Konesky and Mike Bray, Jason Keene and Tim Spier quite savvy musicians who together rock acoustic rock quite well with occasional inserted electric guitar in Southern flair. Here, Mike and Kyle alternate in singing and as memories of his Hollywood Fun rock band with JB are together often. Nevertheless, Mr. Gass is on his own and has a great mix of deep sounding Southern songs with heart and soul, as Bro Ho or the overlong bouncer Gypsy scroll that goes well under the skin and fun rockers like the fleet Our Job To Rock which immediately invites you to dance or Questionable, which is equipped with a really cool drive and strong hooks. Something Classic Rock there are with Road Chops and Getting The Band Together indulges with its loose carefree way the Blues Rock.
A Hitorgie as on TENACIOUS D's Pick Of Destiny and its fun factor you need not wait at the Kyle Gass BAND, but you can look forward to ten successful Southern Rocker with subtle humor and the right touch of depth. Kyle Gass can thus certainly exist without Jester Jack Black and the show shortly also on our stages.
