Down To The Bone - Spread Love Like Wildfire (2005)

Down To The Bone, on it's sixth CD, continues to pump out it's hard grooves and brassy horns that defy easy pigeonholing.
The core musicians remain the same, with producer and composer Stuart Wade, Paul 'Shilts' Weimar on sax, Neil Angilley and Neil Cowley on keyboards, Tony Remy on guitar ,Richard Sadler on bass and percussion and Neal Wilkinson on drums. Like their 'chill' music counterparts, the groove is, of course, the thing. Unlike many of those bands , however, DTTB has incorporated more and more live music on it's CDs, resulting in a warmer sound. Guest stars always make DTTB CDs fresh and the big one here is flutist Jeremy Steig, who has performed with legends like Jimi Hendrix, Johnny Winter, Bill Evans and Jan Hammer. He adds a new sound to the DTTB's jams' Memphis Groove' and 'Wildfire Woman'.

The standout radio track on 'Spread Love Like Wildfire' is 'Tiburon', which was co-written by Tim Best, who assisted with the song 'Brooklyn Heights' on the bands debut CD. The song has much of the same groove as that classic CD. Like that work, the groove here is relentless. and Down To The Bone remains one of the grooviest groove bands in any musical genre. ~ Brian Soergel
