D.A.
& The Hitmen Reviews
Review #1.
D. A. and The Hitmen
Looking Past The Blues
a review by Chet Cannon
Brother Lance Dieckmann, and Mr.Paul Alvarado.
. . two familiar names in the San Diego live music scene over the years.
Fans of their former bands will be glad to hear that they are up and running
once again this time with an all new self produced record! D. A. and The
Hitmen is the band, the rocking ten original song debut CD is called Looking
Past The Blues. This record is road trip ready and will make a strong
contribution to just about any music collection.
Featuring the steady rhythm of Jaime Luna on the drums/percussion, and
the deep rolling pocket of Brad Engstrom on the bass guitar, with a special
appearance by Bill Tisch on the very soulful tenor saxophone in the track
titled September Moon. Lance Dieckmann checks in here with some very groovy
lyrics, that mighty mighty thunderous voice, amazing phrasing and absolute
mind altering harmonica tone, Mr. Paul Alvarado rounds out this tightly
knit unit with that ever cool signature guitar work that is always bound
to get your foot tapping.
A few of my personal favorites would include Minuteman, Blue Menagerie
and the always popular Monkey Dance. Think of these fellas when looking
for music and entertainment. . . Get in the car and go out and support
this fine local band.
See www.dahitmen.com for more about the band, where they are playing and
how/when/where to pick up a copy of their new CD.
Chet Cannon is an avid blues fan, editor of his
very own e-mail Bluesletter known as the Good Blues Update, a freelance
writer of sorts, and works with his own blues band in and around San Diego
called Chet and The Committee. If you would like to know more about the
San Diego blues scene send e-mail to BluShouter@aol.com and read all about
it in the Good Blues Update.
Thanks for supporting live blues and roots music!
