░█ █░ ▀
█ The Buttered Bacon Biscuits are born as a side █
█ project of other different bands, around in 2008, █
█ by the meeting of musicians belonging to other █
█ bands from the surroundings of Faenza and Forl∞, █
█ but after some months they become a new reality █
█ for all the members. The band is composed by Ricky █
█ Dal Pane on vocals and guitars, Alex Celli on █
█ guitar, Alessandro Aroni on bass and Antonio █
█ Perugini on drums. The agreement inside the band █
█ result to be so high that it brings them in a █
█ short time to record their first album ôFrom the █
█ Solitary Woodsö, which is released at the end of █
█ 2009 as self-produced Cd. During the recordings, a █
█ new member joins definitively the band, Stefano █
█ Olivi on hammond and keys. █
█ The album is excellently welcomed both from █
█ criticism and from the public, getting very good █
█ reviews on well-known italian and foreign █
█ magazines and the band starts a series of concerts █
█ to promote the album, appearing as live-guests in █
█ Italy for bands like Uriah Heep and Jethro Tull. █
█ They are influenced by many groups like Black █
█ Sabbath, Pink Floyd, Deep Purple, Genesis, Uriah █
█ Heep, Humble Pie, Allman Brothers, Doors, Neil █
█ Young, Blue Oyster Cult, Genesis, Atoomic Roster, █
█ King Crimson, all beloved 70 music, flowed in a █
█ sound mixture filtered by their own personality. █
█ Old-school rock music with ballads and psychedelic █
█ visions, instinctive and open-minded, in █
█ continuous evolution, note by note. █
█ At the end of 2010, Andrea Palli (from Bad █
█ Ambition) replaces Perugini on drums and with him, █
█ B.B.B. begins to write new songs for the new █
█ album, but due to growing personal and musical █
█ differences on how keeping on the band they split █
█ and Ricky Dal Pane starts a new project, baptized █
█ Witchwood, again with Stefano Olivi and Andrea █
█ Palli and with new arrivals Luca Celotti on bass █
█ and Samuel Tesori on flute. █
█ Disappointment for the previous split makes Ricky, █
█ aware of the appreciations received with "From the █
█ Solitary Woods" of which he's the main music and █
█ lyrics composer, even more determined and █
█ enthusiast about the new project, reaching its █
█ goal: debut "Litanies from the Woods" (Jolly Roger █
█ Records) with a so similar title to the previous █
█ B.B.B. album, is considered both in Italy and █
█ abroad as one of the best hard / prog album of █
█ 2015, bringing out, deservedly, its great talent. █
█ This reissue, with a "new" artwork, makes █
█ available again on Cd and for the very first time █
█ on Lp format, a great album with huge potential, █
█ then fully expressed in Witchwood, creating infact █
█ their roots. █
█ █
█ --- █
█ █
█ "From The Solitary Woods" sounds like the Black █
█ Label Society with a decent singer, an Allmann █
█ Brothers Band with some Mexican peppers in the █
█ place where the sun never shines, Led Zeppelin if █
█ they had stayed together and GovÆt Mule sounding █
█ like, well... GovÆt Mule. This is up-tempo, heavy █
█ rock with plenty of fine riffs and guitar solos, █
█ heavy █
█ bassing while jamming. Nice, nice, nice! Come on, █
█ be a sport and try something new on your musical █
█ menu. Then I will let you in on a secret: the █
█ Buttered Bacon Biscuits are not from Georgia at █
█ all, but from Italy! Ah, never mind, just listen █
█ to the intoxicating long jams and when you get █
█ hungry have some biscuits with butter and bacon. █
█ █
█ --- █
█ █
█ Dear classic rock fans, please note Italy's █
█ Buttered Bacon Biscuits on your next shopping █
█ list. You won't regret this surely. 'From The █
█ Solitary Woods' is certainly an impressive first █
█ effort, presenting a young band that is very █
█ experienced in their field. With insolent yet █
█ earthy guitar riffs, a booming bass, dynamic █
█ percussion, and songs █
█ that make you think there won't be a tomorrow, the █
█ five musicians bring you back to the golden era of █
█ 1970's progressive hardrock. One is reminded of █
█ bands such as Deep Purple, Jethro Tull or Atomic █
█ Rooster, so it is clear that Buttered Bacon █
█ Biscuits are no innovators. Well, I don't mind at █
█ all. The tunes have great riffs and solos without █
█ getting █
█ lost in the haze. That's all embedded in tight █
█ arrangements that at the same time are █
█ multifaceted. █
█ The album is rounded off by a strong and powerful █
█ production that gives a modern feel to the eight █
█ tracks which are saturated with the spirit of the █
█ 1970's. 'From The Solitary Woods' is a remarkable █
█ debut which might be of interest to 70's rock █
█ enthusiasts. As I remarked earlier, you won't █
█ regret this surely. I give the thumbs-up! █
