Album:
"Trip To Heaven" (2000) - As 707's first recording in 18 years, "Trip To Heaven" (Bedrock Records) is a real treat. With the exception of drums (played by Denny Carmassi) and bass on four of the songs (Don Bassey), Kevin Russell is practically a one-man band on this album, handling all of the vocals, guitars, and keyboards, playing bass on six of the eleven tracks, and authoring all songs. The album is instantly likeable from start to finish, and varies from straight-ahead rock to blues-rock. The lead track, "Firing Line" (a rocker), features some nice guitar fills and a hot solo. A couple of songs, "Make Up Your Mind" and "All I Ever Wanted" (nice slide guitar), remind me of Eric Clapton's mellower side, and the inspiring "Never Say Die" has a nice bridge with wah-wah guitar solo. "Sinful Woman", "Cause And Effect", and "Pain" are all competent blues-rock tunes, with some very nice guitar licks. "Rock 'n' Roller" and the title track, "Trip To Heaven", are both solid rockers. But my favorite cut on the album is "Don't Say You Love Me", which starts quietly, then really cranks with a scorching guitar solo. The last track, "Reprise", is a mellow instrumental duet of electric guitar and piano...a nice way to end the album. Russell's guitar work and vocals shine throughout, and I found my foot tapping whenever this CD was playing. Put simply, this CD really rocks, and it's nice to hear some good "new" music for a change.
