What is Bob's Yer Uncle's greatest selling point (clearly they do want their audience to put their money where their mouths are, so they can go on vacation, as the back of the CD says)? It's the tone of their blend. What defines good tone is to a degree a matter of opinion, but we'd wager that this Canadian quartet would attract attention in any part of the world by virtue of their warm and engaging sound. These 1999 Ontario District Champs are heard to greatest advantage on songs such as 'Moonlight Becomes You' and 'It Is Well With My Soul,' where the long legato notes and syllables are a perfect showcase. The group is skillful in their use of dynamics, and though they can pull off the big finish with splashy tags ('Down Among TheSugar-Cane' and 'Slow Boat To China'), Bob knows better than to rely on athletic displays of lung power. A quartet with great potential. |
