Ever pray that they find a missing master tape by the Band? Well no need to worry...here's Blackhawk to the rescue.This all-star trio of country rockers (Henry Paul was in The Outlaws, Van Stephenson and Dave Robbins wrote some of Restless Heart's #1 hits) come barreling through the airwaves with the most infectious harmony-oriented gems in contemporary country music."Goodbye Says It All" and "Every Once In A While" get deep in your brain, set their claws, and stay there. Although Blackhawk is reminiscent of some of the best harmony groups, they do not come off as derivative. The vocals are distinctive, direct and plaintive, immediately branding the songs as Blackhawk. The songs are first-rate country rockers and upbeat ballads, with full and richly-textured harmonies. The musicianship is inventive and precise. There is no wonder why Blackhawk is taking country music by storm.BLACKHAWK is an album to savor, with something to appeal to a broad audience.Personnel: John Willis (acoustic guitar, electric guitar); Eric Silver (acoustic guitar, mandolin, fiddle); Dan Dugmore, Van Stephenson, Biff Watson (acoustic guitar); Dale Oliver, Dann Huff, Kerry Marx, Danny Parks (electric guitar); Henry Paul, Mary Ann Kennedy (mandolin); Randy Howard (fiddle); David Robbins (keyboards); Mike Demus (synthesizer, programming); Kip Raines, Lonnie Wilson (drums); Kenny Malone (percussion).Audio Mixer: Mike Clute.Recording information: Midtown Tone And Volume, Nashville, TN; Room and Board, Nashville, TN.Photographer: Ron Keith.Unknown Contributor Role: Ramona Simmons.
