We love you guys and thought I'd add the review I did for North of the Border Entertainment Guide in September 2005. Keep on Rockin'
Dave & Peggy Miller
The JB Bullion Band– Diamond In The Rough – One Shoe Productions – Well-known in the area for their shows of down-home blues and rock, these guys have produced a gem of an album. With JBB on guitar and vocals, Eddie Garcia on bass, Pat Glass on drums, Craig Gearhardt on guitar, Flash on keys, Kasino Kavanaugh on guitar, Lance Gremmillion adds some slide guitar and his wife Shannon provides back up vocals on several songs, along with Bobby Lonero. This is truly a who’s who of local musicians combining to bring their original music to the masses. The haunting “There’s A Girl” produces some interesting possibilities and Shannon brings some great harmony to “Sometimes” while Lance’s slide guitar highlights “Tonight”. The title cut with haunting guitar and Shannon’s back up vocals is one of the best tunes, and the party song “Oh, Tequila” where we’re “drunk at the bar” is a great drinking song (as witnessed by the undoubtedly inebriated back up singers and antics). A very thoughtful tune, “Tara” tells an interesting story, and “I’m Still In Love With You” could apply to a lot of folks I know, while JBB finishes with a nice ballad, “Baby Don’t Go”. For you Texas music lovers, there’s a lot to like in this CD with a nice mix of blues-tinged cuts and some really nice ballads, as well as few raunchy bar tunes. Be sure to get a copy!
