In our band, everybody has a lot of good ideas that we’re all willing to fight for. If you have an idea and you’re not willing to fight for it, then maybe it’s not that good of an idea in the first place. “There’s some creative tension, sure, but the music benefits from it. “Somebody Else” showcases a harder edged sound and makes it easy to see the influence of drummer Barrett Martin (Screaming Trees, Mad Season).Īngell is proud of his drummer and enjoys creating music with him. “Red and White” brings to mind U2 (back when they were good) but with a bluesy edge that creates a sad, yet smooth emotional response. He, then, backs off and lets the band shine.
WP2 opens with as song titled “My Luck Pushed Back.” Duff makes his presence known right away with a low-end thump. But I think our grassroots approach inspired him, and reminded him why he got into playing rock ‘n’ roll in the first place.” “He’s got so much going on with his other legendary successes that he certainly didn’t have to keep working with us. The reason may be because he loves this music. This does beg the question of ‘ why is Duff in this band?’ That said…this is a very good band with or without him. If Duff were not in this band they would have a harder time getting noticed in the crazy musical environment of today.

Read our full Petty Fest recap, featuring performances by Juliette Lewis, Albert Hammond Jr, Brendan Benson, Dhani Harrison and more.RATINGS: A = must own B = buy it C= average D = yawn F = puke We experienced it firsthand last week in Los Angeles, when the band took part in Petty Fest, an all-star musical tribute hosted by Jameson and benefitting the Sweet Relief fund. The band’s smoldering live show serves as ample evidence of the seasoned rockers’ abilities, with their debut album concretely confirming their potential for longevity through smoky, gorgeous blues that balance hard rock with groove-driven sound. Benjamin Anderson rounds out the lineup with a flourish of keys that gives the production a more classic feel, adding nuanced color to the ample musical firepower. Rock enthusiasts and Seattleites familiar with Jeff Angell’s burning blues guitar & vocals in The Missionary Position have found a revival of excitement in the frontman’s latest endeavor, buoyed powerfully by the thundering drums of Barrett Martin from Screaming Trees and legendary bassist Duff McKagan of Guns N’ Roses, Loaded and more. Walking Papers don’t pander to cheap sensationalist titles like “supergroup”.
