Music Review: Gee Davey - She Sells Smiles & Black Bone Child - Black Bone Child - Page 2

This is a great band and worth checking out.

Black Bone Child, Black Bone Child

Donny James and Kenneth Hailing last 8 years of collaboration have yielded their first CD release, self titled Black Bone Child. This hard charging rock and roll album will keep your feet clapping your air guitar cranking. Being a big blues fan myself, I love the way they pull in the harmonica and create that bluesy kind of rock and roll sound.

Black Bone Child hails from Austin Texas. Donny and Ken found their way to each other through a mutual friend. After four songs they realized they had the chemistry to create the sound they have both been looking for.

“Watch it Bum” is one their personal favorites on the album. The cool thing about this song is that much of it was written by email between these two artists. “Kenneth and I wrote that through emails before he moved out to Austin with me. I remember sending him the riff and some vocal ideas and he sent me a finished song,” said Donny James.

One of the refreshing things about this group is their desire to play live. With the tens of thousands of artists on the web and the major labels controlling what we hear on the radio, it is difficult to find the Black Bone Childs of the world. What separates the men from the boys is the live performances.

“I feel very proud being on stage with those three other guys because I know we are delivering everything Donny and I set out to do,” added Kenneth.

If you have a chance to check this band out, you won’t be disappointed. Black Bone Child has a bright future. Please support them.
