With Eric Sardinas and Big Motor, Sardinas further refines his trademark sonic fury, mixing in bits and pieces of 1960s-styled British blooze-rock, John Lee-inspired boogie, Southern soul, old school Delta blues, even a bit of twangy, country-tinged blues (think early-1970s Johnny Winter). Bass guitarist Levell Price and drummer Patrick Caccia provide a locomotive beat behind Sardinas' six-string pyrotechnics; together, the trio raises a lot of joyful noise for three guys.
The album-opening "All I Need" is a 120mph raver, built upon an unrelenting rhythm, embroidered with taut, barbed-wire fretwork. The infectious, melodic "Ride" hides its pop overtones beneath a soaring guitar line, a Gospel-tinged chorus, and a Hendrix heartbeat…kind of reminds me of Clapton-era Delaney & Bonnie. The up-tempo "Gone To Memphis" is a soulful, uplifting tune with some finely-engraved Dobro work and warm vocal harmonies.
Lest listeners think that Sardinas has gone soft, the rollicking boogie-based "It's Nothing New" turns the amp up a notch, and by the time that ES and Big Motor kick into the juke-joint stomp "Just Like That," you'll be turning over chairs and dancing on the table. Sardinas' showcases some nasty, menacing slide-playing here as the band bashes-and-crashes behind his switchblade fretwork. A relatively straight-forward cover of the Elvis gem "Burning Love" displays Sardinas' playful side, while a cover of Tony Joe White's "As The Crow Flies" offers up a true 180-proof Delta gumbo with a soulful vocal turn and imaginative six-string solos.
