Review By Darren McIntyre
Hollow Souls are a new blues – rock super – collective outfit from the brainchild of Kris Barras who was inspired by US Supergroup Supersonic Blues Machine. Hollow Souls were created as a homegrown jam band as a sparring exercise during his downtime, from his humble beginnings in Torquay, Devon to trading licks with the likes of Joe Bonamassa & Billy Gibbons on the world stage Kris has already lived a hundred lives that defy his youth & exuberance. Kris and band brought us new single Shotgun Ft Jon ‘ Marv’ Harvey & Borderline Ft Jared James Nichols and today they return with Bad Things Ft Chris Tapp, please sit back and let me take you through this blues rocking groover from Kris and the band.
Bad Things – A funky, punchy rhythm section gets this blues infused rock n roll juggernaut off the ground as the soaring vocals from Chris Tapp ease into the arrangement as the band just hits the ground running. Phoebe lets her incredible vocals flow effortlessly through the arrangement as the boys dig deep and really let this track bring the heat as the crisp guitar riffs really get behind this glorious composition, the funking bassline is dropping meaty grooves all through the track as they wrap themselves around this harmonious number as the lyrics really let you feel the depth that is coming from this cool track. The killer guitar riffs are really holding the track together as the gravelly, full on vocals really give this track a swagger that is what we have come to expect from this heavyweight of the rock n roll world, the cool, mellow backing vocals really give the track a reason to work as they just elevate the piece to another level.
