Jade Bennett
Death Time Love

There are many derivations of Rock Blues or Blues Rock, if you will. And they are not always mentioned appropriately.

A female voice is certainly not a novelty in the field of the genre.

There are many and they are very talented, but not all convey emotions like Bennett does, real adrenaline rushes that hit you and traverse you without interruption.

Death Time Love is an album worth listening to. There's literally something for everyone here, with styles ranging from soul to funk and psychedelic blues. Now, I don't want, with this, to make it seem like a stew of genres, but I believe it is a merit to be able to blend in an album different souls fused into a single voice.

The collection of tracks, eight to be precise, forms a homogeneous path of warm and sensual injection of her personal feeling both when she climbs on the black and hoarse tones of her voice and when she caresses you with some ballads in the best rock blues tradition.

Little is known about Jade Bennett.

Californian with an amazing voice and accompanied by a few trusted musicians, including Gino Matteo, a talented author and excellent guitarist while the rhythm section of Lavell Jones on drums and James Breker on bass is solid and pungent. Also collaborating on the album are Laura Chavez and Joey Delgado, talented guitarists.

Bennett appears in 2017 with this album and delivers eight beautiful tracks, including a cover of "After Dark," a song by Tito & Tarantula that mesmerized the strange company led by George Clooney in "From Dusk Till Dawn" by Rodriguez and Tarantino. But the cover of "After Dark" comes last in an album full of surprises, and I won't go into a track by track.

I will only say to pay particular attention to "Why Buy The Cow," where she duets with Laura Chavez's guitar, and the powerful "Table For Two," where she offers pure soul and tells a story of unrequited love that won't end well, but all the pieces have something compelling.

It seems that lately she has founded a Band with Gino Matteo, who on his part has to his credit some blues albums, the Bennett-Matteo Band, and in the few available videos she appears as a big girl looking for her own look, but the voice, that, she certainly has.

I know this is not exactly a review worthy of Illibro, but I wanted to share the pleasure of discovering a talent we hope we will hear more about.
