T CLEMENTE BAND Illusions (2010)
Guitarist Teddy is the 'T' in this band which also features the multi-talented Robert Berry (Three/Alliance) who is not the lead vocalist as you'd expect, Thom Duell takes this spot. On drums is David Lauser, who has worked extensively with Sammy Hagar and his bands plus he is also a member of Alliance along with Robert Berry.
Given the musical pedigree of this band the music is of a high standard with a nice musical mix. There are some party rockers like 'Rock All Night', then there are more reflective and slower tempo songs like 'Children & Their Future'.
Quite a few bands come to mind whilst listening to this album including Triumph, Rainbow and Uriah Heep on the title track, mainly for the harmonies and slight prog rock feel to the music.
Hopefully this album will manage to make a splash as the music on here is very enjoyable plus you have some top draw musicians involved. With any luck this won't be the last we hear from Teddy Clemente and friends.
