Retribution Gospel Choir - Daytrotter Session
Review by Valerie Gurley
Retribution Gospel Choir's Daytrotter Session is an electrifying collection of live recordings that showcase the band's raw energy and musical prowess. Led by frontman Alan Sparhawk, the trio delivers a set of dynamic, guitar-driven tracks that blend elements of rock, blues, and gospel into a unique and captivating sound.
From the opening chords of "Hide It Away" to the haunting melodies of "Working Hard to Stay Ahead," the album is a testament to Retribution Gospel Choir's ability to create music that is both soulful and intense. Sparhawk's vocals are particularly impressive, ranging from gritty and raw to soaring and emotional as he delivers lyrics that explore themes of love, loss, and redemption.
The band's musicianship is equally impressive, with bassist Steve Garrington and drummer Eric Pollard providing a tight and powerful rhythm section that drives each song forward. The guitar work is particularly noteworthy, with Sparhawk's intricate and expressive leads weaving in and out of the mix with ease.
