by Cookin' On 3 Burners
Melbourne funk trio Cookin' On 3 Burners are back with a bang! Their first album in 5 years, 'Blind Bet' certainly delivers on its promise of being an album of 'classic soul sounds with a cinematic twist.' The core members of the group Lance Ferguson (The Bamboos), Ivan Khatchoyan and Jake Mason have created an album of new material that's perfectly complimented by some cleverly selected vocal collaborations with Tex Perkins, Jason Jeerah, Daniel Merriweather, Harry Angus and Kylie Auldist. Tex's grungey sound on one of the album's best songs Flat On My Back, and Kylie's soulful vocals on Chew You Up and Mind Made Up, illustrate the breadth of style achieved on this album. Another great decision was to include instrumental tracks on the album which are all fantastic, the standout for me being The Spanish Job which has an almost surf rock feel to it with big cinematic tones. Blind Bet is a real corker start to finish, there’s a track to enjoy whatever your mood and it’s definitely a must have for any soul and funk music collection in particular.
