Jesse’s Powertrip – Not So Innocent 1999
The band is still going for the same market with their arena style rock as purveyed by the Damn Yankees, Nightranger etc. To help out in the guitar department they’ve enlisted Frank Hannon (ex Telsa), Richie Kotzen (ex-Poison) and Mike Varney (of Shrapnel & Magna Carta Records).
I’ll have to admit this one has been completely overshadowed by the other MTM releases this month and I haven’t played it that much. Maybe that says more about the album than I could ever put into words in a review. When listening to it, it does have it’s moments, but nothing really makes the lasting impression necessary to make you want to come back to it again and again. On opening track, ‘Let It Roll’, Jesse sounds like Neil Young. Now I happen to like Neil Young’s voice on this own material, but not on melodic hard rock. Elsewhere the impression isn’t quite as strong, but the vocals do tend to sound strained throughout. Mid-tempo rocker ‘Lonely Girl’, ‘Hole In Your Heart’, the slow blues tinged ‘Sister Mercy’, ‘Leaving Home’ and the catchy ‘Desire’ might make you want to listen again, if you didn’t have to wade through the mundane surrounding tracks.
With previous outfits like Nightranger, Aldo Nova & Bad English under their belts, these guys should be able to do better.
