Dem Bones

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Vocalist Carla Cook follows up her 1999 Grammy-nominated It's All About Love with a sterling mixed bag of songs that range from bossa nova and bop to funk, gospel, and even country. To top off the eclecticism, she employs the trombone trio of Fred Wesley, Craig Harris, and Tyrone Jefferson, resulting in an intoxicating album that's as adventurous as it is accessible. Cook's spry readings of Matthew Gee's "Oh Gee" and the gleaming bossa nova prance of Dori Caymmi's "Like a Lover" show off her optimistic voice and needlepoint articulation and intonation. Cook recalls a young Nancy Wilson, especially on the frisky opener, "The More I See You." Her singing, however, gets bluesier on the funky "Dem Bones" and the gospel favorite, "Come, Ye Disconsolate." Even on the oddball selection of Bobbie Gentry's "Ode to Billie Joe," Cook delivers the tune with a lithe rhythmic flair that never diminishes the emotional weight of the song. Kudos to the superb rhythm section of bassist James Genus, drummer Billy Kilson, and pianists Bruce Barth and Cyrus Chestnut for their parts in making Dem Bones a fresh, utterly swinging affair. --John Murph

Fantastic Voice.......2005-05-05

I heard the gospel piece on the radio today and had to get this album. If nothing else, just for that tune, it's worth it. I am a former professional jazz musician and am usually not fond at all of vocalists unless they are superb (such as Bobby McFerrin, Billie Holiday, Phoebe Snow, Etta James, Ray Charles, et al) in voice and originality. Carla Cook definitely meets all the criteria for me, and then some. If she doesn't stop, expect her to be as large a name in jazz as there is, at the top. Superb CD, very diverse, by jazz standards, as well.

Spectactular Voice - This is Grammy material.......2001-02-27

This voice is pure gold. Expect to see Carla Cookin up the jazz charts.

THE BEST BY FAR !!!!.......2005-03-08

As is usual with almost all band's early material.This cd comprises their first lp -Dem Bones- and -Decapitated-,which is a 1986 compilation of all of their early singles,making for nearly an hour of the most intense brit-hardcore mayhem you'll ever have experienced.Listening to the Bones brothers playing together again reminds you of Discharge at some points,and the sound is incredibly good on top of it all.There are 3 different covers to this cd,depending on the edition.One is the Dem Bones original artwork,the second is a new artwork featuring the skull in helmet BB logo,and the third is the same but the band's name is colored in red.Amazon is offering the first one.

YOU LIAR YOU LIAR...........2003-05-17

This is the most intense hardcore album to come out of that early 80s UK crossover scene to pump through my speakers. This is what all the punks and speed metal fans should be drooling over as the "CLASSIC" crossover album to had ever been captured in recording ever! These guys influenced bands such as Metallica, Poxy, Anthrax, English Dogs, DRI, and countless of other bands that are around today. Ask any true punk and metal fans about Broken Bones and they will give you a whole lecture as to why these guys are on the top of their list as to one of the best bands to come out UK in the past 20 years. If you have 15 bux to spare and you're looking at this album get this now and you'll thank me later for convincing you to get this classic. To top this all off Bones from Discharge is the guitarist and singer of this band. Can't get any better than that.
