JJRev & The Needs (from the album The Bleed Sessions available on Melody Lane Records) (by Danny McCloskey)
Hitting the ground already in motion, JJRev & The Needs blast in to The Bleed Sessions with “Way to Go”, setting the standard for the most recent release from the band. Slide guitar notes are the trumpet call for “The Last Days of Summer” while the semi-title track picks a black crow for a muse in “Bleed”. A heavy-handed backbeat keeps the raggedy Rock ’n’ Roll of JJRev & The Needs in line as the guitar work of James Eliot Jones runs loops around the tales, accenting the life guide to better days “Live to Love” as his six-strings add a touch of twang for “”If These Walls Could Talk”. 
 
Based in Twentynine Palms, California JJRev & The Needs pay hometown homage as they gaze on “Sunset on 29” with a cast of characters that share Hi Desert living. Whether leaning towards Country or Rock in the tunes on The Bleed Sessions, a Blues history informs each chord bend and string slide. ‘It’s only Rock ’n’ Roll baby dear, that’s how it goes around here’ is the truism that begins the story as JJRev & The Needs are “Chasing Down the Blues”. Plucked acoustic notes quietly open “Waimanolo Blues” before The Bleed Sessions heads for the highway to greet the dawn singing an exit for the album. (by Danny McCloskey)
