Review

Forget the prefab corporate airbrushed sound of contemporary American "rock" music. TRICK FICTION is the real deal: twanging, overdriven guitars over relentless grooves and some of the best blues lyrics written by anyone, anywhere. The latest CD from NYC-based PAUL MARK & the VAN DORENS reaffirms the band's status as one of today's premier practitioners in the roots rock/blues medium. TRICK FICTION contains 11 new songs by Paul Mark, including the instant swamp classic "Big Glass Building", a sound solution to global warming. Included as well is the big-time blues lifestyle proclamation titled "Fritos, BBQ & Scotch" which Albert King might (repeat, might) smile over. And take a listen to the soulful instrumental groove of "Stake Out", where Booker T meets Kenny Burrell. For those given to over-indulgence consider the rollicking, cautionary tale called "30 Lbs. in 30 Days". A cover version of the Pomus/Shuman gem "Suspicion" takes a dark, late-night turn. And Mark includes here a solo piano interlude, "Small Heaven", which might be the best ballad he's ever penned in his long career. But the final track, "Riverside Diner", is where it all comes home. A rawcuss train on a righteous trek for salvation through a world that's cast out its heroes and instead relies on the folly of fools. TRICK FICTION ain't for fools...it's where the train stops. This is the real deal.
