BOY WONDER
At Love Park - Philly (6/14/07)
Boy Wonder, himself!!!
At
5:40pm, Boy Wonder started his set with a cover version of Cream's
"Sunshine of Your Love", an electrifying, guitar-driven rock song
that would have sounded great, if the keyboards weren't turned up so loud,
almost drowning out the guitar! After the song "El Train", it was
on to some good funk-rock stuff with "What's My Name?"...Boy Wonder
definitely has some serious good-tar chops (I wondered if he studied under the
great Philly guitarist, P.M. Eaton AKA PHUNKYMAN)! "Ain't No Way" was
another excellent, funk-rock tune with an infectious melody played on the
guitar (Boy Wonder), bass (J.D.) and keyboards. (The band covered a song
originally by the rock band The Police...but I don't know what the song is
called.) "Hoochie Coochie Man" was da bomb with electrifying blues
guitar riffs! "Thief" was another rock-guitar driven tune. Boy Wonder
played a few more songs before calling it quits around 7:00pm.
Bassist J.D.!
To be honest, Boy Wonder himself is great on guitar, J.D. is pretty good on
bass, but the keyboardist & drummer didn't really leave that much of an
impression on me. The drumming was just basic...no real energy to it!
