- Lamont James & RANDY BACHMAN!
Back on April 12th, Lamont James & the Vitrolites (Chris Bell, Craig Browne, Dean Glover & Cristie Healey) were honoured to take part in the ROCK FOR JEFF HEALEY PARK concert. Those of you who could make it out helped raise some cash for a great cause and got to share in an incredible night of music!
There were *so many* fantastic performances, but a highlight for us was when the incomparable Dave Murphy (Jeff Healey Blues Band) and Canadian music legend Randy Bachman, graciously and enthusiastically agreed to join us on stage for what turned into an *killer* 12 minute rendition of Neil Young's 'Like A Hurricane'!
...so, for those who were there and those who couldn't make it, we are very proud to be able to share the love with you now!
Hope you enjoy watching it as much as we did performing it!
Be well all!

- Another Great Review!
Rog here...
Wow! What a great way to start off a week - another amazing review of Lamont James' Poppies, this time from legendary rock journalist/biographer, Jeffrey Morgan...
"SIZZLING PLATTER OF THE WEEK: Lamont James – Poppies (self released) :: You better go out and get yourself a box of push pins and a really big map ’cause this here Lamont James is all over it. First he comes across like some kinda cross between Aquashow era Elliott Murphy and The Beatles era John Lennon at their most acoustically mellow (“Today”). Next he morphs into Around The World In A Day era Prince (“Song Of You”) and Candy-O era Cars at their most synthesizer saturated (“Sorry”). Then he has the good sense smarts to plug it in and crank it up on a cover of Teenage Head’s seminal single “Picture My Face.” After that he deftly deconstructs things down with an ambient electronic instrumental like “Kaüzendüx” that eerily evokes Stockhausen at his short waviest. But best of all is track twelve which lasts all of twenty seconds and contains naught but a syncopated drum solo. “Hey,” thinks I at the five second mark, “this reminds me of ‘Premier Drums’ on The Who Sells Out.” So I take a look to see what the song title is and wouldn’t ya know that it says: “Moonie.”"
