​The Record Company (from the album Play Loud available on Concord Records) (by Bryant Liggett)
The Record Company have always dabbled in dirty Blues while finding a way to be attractive to ears that may stray from the grittier side of things. Their latest, Play Loud, explores electric Blues, Punky and Soulful sounds from an old school trio in a 21st Century music industry. The Record Company deliver a dose of rollicking tunes with a party vibe ripe for fist pumping and filling a dancefloor. They’ll fill the floor with “Never Leave You”, the album opener that’s more R&B than Chicago blues. The Record Company plus in for stadium rock when “How High” kicks off with a thumping, anthemic drumbeat where a quick question of ‘how high do you wanna fly’ is followed by a bass riff-driven break before the band kicks back in. The song is THE perfect soundtrack for halftime at a major sporting event.
The Record Company explore trance and psychedelic Blues with “Gotta Be Movin’’, rump shaking club beats on “Get Up and Dance!”, and toss around an spotlight slow dance ballad in “Lady Lila.” Play Loud presents “Midnight Moon” with chords that bounce off the garage rock walls, a touch of surf music, and wraps with a clap-a-long groover in “Ain’t Going Home”.  The Record Company have a good thing going, combining the knowledge on how to construct a party record with a clear understanding of Blues traditions. No frills, no fuss, just a pocketful of singalong songs where raw Blues rides a cool groove, all with a lo-fi mindset and aversion to overproduction. (by Bryant Liggett)
