"The Loud Pack is a tremendously exciting band, firmly rooted in traditional
blues but with a solid dose of sweet soul.. Dig the very first track on the Mix
EP, “Gonna Be Fine.” Steve Michel (guitar)( and rhythm section) lay
down a solid, mid-tempo shuffle. Stevie Jones’s organ pad tips the scale in
the direction of greasy Memphis soul. And when Big Gene Chandler begins to sing…well,
it’s all over. He’s got that elusive “it,” that edgy, emotive
quality to the voice that all the best deep soul singers (have)...Danny Lee Michel’s
guitar lines are terse and incisive, a bit jagged (the better to create tension),
and eminently toneful. A great melody and sensible lyrics seal the deal...Their
songwriting is appealingly catchy. The rhythm section has an unfailingly good feel,
and the keys and guitar up front balance the solo options and the sound. Both Jones
and Michel have terrific instincts, and play with creativity and great tone...Big
Gene is a truly exceptional singer.." Tom Hyslop, Now Playing
"With Michel’s soulful playing
and Chandler’s smooth vocals reminiscent of Aaron Neville without the warble,
the band has thundered to the top of the local blues scene. The band’s success
is built on the dynamic between the two, something Chandler recognized the first
time they met at Neal’s lakeside home between Sevierville and Newport.
“I heard him play and said, ‘This guy’s amazing,’”
Chandler said. “Me and Danny started vibing back then. With me coming up singing
and writing all my life and having a church and R&B background, it just seemed
like it was second nature to do the blues. We just both realized the chemistry we
had.”" By Steve Wildsmith (stevew@thedailytimes.com), Maryville Daily Times
