███▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ - RELEASE NOTES - ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀███
█░ ░█
█░ Levtron Productions (USA) presents: ░█
█░ Ron Levy's Wild Kingdom - Green Eyed Soul ░█
█░ ░█
█░ Personnel: ░█
█░ Ron Levy - Hammond organ ░█
█░ Jeff Lockhart - guitar & effects ░█
█░ Warren Grant - drums ░█
█░ Yahuba Garcia - percussion ░█
█░ ░█
█░ About this release: ░█
█░ From the first note of this album you can tell that this is a ░█
█░ renewed and improved Ron Levy. He is leaner, meaner, cleaner and ░█
█░ more fluid than ever. True to form, Ron has once again assembled ░█
█░ an all-star cast that many in the area call the "Dream Teamö. Jeff ░█
█░ Lockhart is hands down, the most widely respected guitar player in ░█
█░ Boston. A rep justly attained as a main attraction of the ░█
█░ legendary and hip late night jams at Wally's on Mass Ave. Yahuba ░█
█░ Garcia brings so much energy to the mix that I almost enjoy his ░█
█░ hoots and hollers of appreciation as much as I do his conga ░█
█░ playing. Drummer Warren 'G-Dogg' Grant is known from New Orleans ░█
█░ to Germany and back for having one of the thickest pockets in the ░█
█░ business. ░█
█░ ░█
█░ There is nothing more soothing or soulful than hearing a pretty ░█
█░ melody cajoled, tickled and squeezed from a real vintage Hammond ░█
█░ organ through those spinning Leslie speakers. Levy proves once ░█
█░ again he is the master of the Hammond and it's seductive melodic ░█
█░ capabilities on the original tracks "Always Outnumbered", "The ░█
█░ Soulside" and "Lovin You Again". These tunes as well, are perfect ░█
█░ spotlights for Jeff's solid Strat to sing like George Benson's ░█
█░ hollowest of hollow bodies. ░█
█░ ░█
█░ But just when you're feeling up and good, the title track, "Green ░█
█░ Eyed Soul" is there to remind you about them deep down soulful ░█
█░ blues, Baby. Lifted up, and smacked right back down. Thanks for ░█
█░ the reality check Ron. And for those of you who have heard the ░█
█░ gospel according to Levy, you'll savor this 3 o'clock in the ░█
█░ morning blue mood vibe for sure. ░█
█░ ░█
█░ "Silver Plated" is such a screaming wake up call and at the same ░█
█░ time, slow burn of a song, it again truly testifies to Ron's ░█
█░ continuing study and evolution as a composer, arranger and ░█
█░ soloist. Warren and Ron lay its jagged 'acid-jazz' form down while ░█
█░ the percussion and guitar slyly dance around ominously with ░█
█░ clearly defined purpose. It is personally, my favorite jam on the ░█
█░ album. ░█
█░ ░█
█░ More new Levy compositions keep coming along strong with the ░█
█░ Mardi-Gras boogaloo styled samba of "Soulard Soul Stew" that gives ░█
█░ the rhythm section an extra chance to shine and "Yo Bro' Yossel" ░█
█░ emotes as classy a vibe as one could ever hope for. ░█
█░ ░█
█░ The smokin' finale, "El Fuego de Lowell" is a nine-minute, ░█
█░ Afro-Cuban, freak-out jam. The Wild Kingdom shows no restraint on ░█
█░ this track as everyone drives fast and hard along with Levy's ░█
█░ pumping organ bass and montuno figures. It just can't be denied ░█
█░ mis amigos. Yahuba has a total percussive rhythmic blast and the ░█
█░ totally whacked out Pink Floyd siren like flourishes in the ░█
█░ distance are classic Jeff 'Lockhart Monster'. ░█
█░ ░█
█░ Instrumental organ combos can sometimes be a limiting format ░█
█░ especially without a vocalist, horn, or horn section to fill out ░█
█░ the sound. Not the case here. Ron Levy's Wild Kingdom lineup as is ░█
█░ with their hip encyclopedia of sounds and grooves nail it good and ░█
█░ tight every time. Their leader Levy, as always, commits fully to ░█
█░ every single note he plays with all his heart and 'Green Eyed ░█
█░ Soul'. ░█
