So jetzt versuche ich mich auch mal an einer Vorstellung einer CD. Da ich kein Musiker bin sondern nur Zuhörer,habe ich sicher Probleme mit den Begrifflichkeiten.
1. Back In The Alley (Point Blank)
Satter Gitarrensound, Bluesharp und die Stimme von John O'Daniel ist auch nach 35 Jahren noch unverwechselbar
2. Moving (Point Blank)
Der Kracher der 1. Scheibe von 1976
3. Nasty Notions (Point Blank)
Keyboards sind neu bei Point Blank, aber im Zusammenspiel mit den Gitarren eine Bereicherung
4. Bad Bees (Burns/Petty)
Gradliniger Rock
5. Uncle Ned (Point Blank)
Schlagzeug Intro und rasantes Gitarrenduett
6. Stars And Scars (Burns, Davis & Petty)
Langsameres Stück mit Counrtyanklängen und schönen Gitarrensoli
7. Lone Star Fool (Davis/O'Daniel)
Keine Ahnung, wie ich das beschreiben soll: Magich!
8. Free Man (Burns/O'Daniel)
Slideguitar, Texas Blues mit schnellem Mittelteil und Ende
9. Mean To Your Queenie (Steve Hardin)
Original von Airplay (1979) Steve Hardin kam als Keyboarder dazu, Boogie mit Harp und Slideguitar
10. Nicole (Point Blank)
Vom 81er Album American Excess, schönes Gitarrensolo, Gesang etwas poppig
11. Let Her Go (Point Blnk)
vom 82er Album On A Roll, klingt ein bisschen wie Journey, die vielen Gitarren machen den Unterschied
12. How Blue Can You Get (Point Blank)
Schöner Blues mit Buddy Whittington als erstem Solisten
13. Thank You Mama (Point Blank)

Von der Homepage von Point Blank habe ich die folgende Rezension übernommen, aber auch die drückt nur Begeisterung aus, die Profis unter Euch sollten einfach mal reinhören.
Yes! Those who know me do understand the love and passion I have for that incredible Rock n' Roll band, so they won't be surprised to know how happy I am now that Point Blank is back after more than 25 years. Even for the most optimistic who could have bet they had returned ? To be honest, I had some doubts before hearing that new album, but suddenly "Back In The Alley"… yes, that's the real Point Blank, they are still alive and well, it really moves me… Rusty is still the same, same choruses but a modern and rich guitar play, and what a feeling in his fingers. "Moving" allows us to listen to the great John O Daniel. I was a little bit anxious about his voice before, but he hit me!! Gimme a little glass of Jack to start again, on "Nasty Notions", Blues in a Texan style (Heavy but good!!). Shivers are back with "Bad Bees", "Uncle Ned", and the real sublime "Stars and Scars". Higher level on "Lone Star Fool", "Free Man" and "Mean to your Queenie". 25 years later, these guys have kept their killing instinct when they are on stage! Point Blank begins a new career and reminds us of "Nicole" (my sweet Nicole), and they surprise us on "Let Her Go" that previously was on the "On A Roll" album and looks a little bit like Journey, maybe it's because of Bubba Keith influence (he took John O Daniel place after The hard Way), or because the tour they made in the 80's as the support band of Journey.
This great moment ends on a short and instrumental version of "Thank You Mama", we wished it had been longer, and we should be able to see the band on stage in Europe soon. Congratulations to Dixie Frog for this issue and to Texas Boogie Prod to let the dream come true!
Really great!!!
John Molet
