Dehesa Electric - "No Bluff"


Dehesa Electric’s C.D. "No Bluff" is truly a work of art. Russell Schultz and Adam Joyce seem to have matured on this record with songs like Drive and Seaward, yet have also managed to create a relaxed fun feel on the album with songs like Fleas. "No Bluff" takes you on a trip from the hard grinding guitar rips and metal sounds of "Inject", to the acoustic sounds of "Fleas". "No Bluff" is an amazing musical journey that you shouldn’t miss.

DRIVE: The blending of Joyce and Schultz vocals on this track brings about a melodic feel that implores you to sing along. This song not only has amazing vocals and lyrics, but also a rhythmic melody line that keeps you moving along. With Adam and Russ’s voices together it gives birth to a new feel for Dehesa Electric. While "Drive" is a more mellow change for (D.E.), they do it well.

FEEL: Suggestive of early Ozzy Osbourne tunes, "Feel" has that slow throbbing metalness to it that I thought only Ozzy could do so well. Schultz’s lyrics are slow but forceful on this track to blend well with the heavy, but almost shadow-like guitar. This is a track that would make any true lover of metal proud, even Ozzy.

FLEAS: What fun! Sit back in your rocker, hound dog at your side, stoke the fire and tap your feet. Dehesa Electric, loving what they do and sharing it with all of us. "Fleas"is a mellow feel-good song . Just kick-back and enjoy.

SEAWARD: I love this sound (Calypso meets African Safari.) "Seaward" has a brisk beat charged with energy. It is just the right combination / sort of a controlled wildness. Close your eyes and drift away.


INJECT: Dehesa Electric has presented us with a heavy dark rock song, just like the good old days. This song is well produced with strong guitar and hard-hitting vocals. Schultz and Joyce leave us begging for more. You can hear Dehesa Electric on (MP3).
