© KS Communications 2004 Ottawa XPress - Review September 2004 - Just how long can Robert Farrell remain Capital City's best kept secret? The obvious answer: probably not a whole lot longer, considering the fast and fiery tones of his fifth effort, Elegant Chaos. Unlike records past, the hard driving, full steam ahead grind of Chaos is an all instrumental affair, which works to Farrell's advantage. The wide open songs allow the guitarist to fully stretch out and explore, six string front and centre, without constraint. Though Andrew Lamarche (drums) and Stephen Clarke (bass) are dialed in from the word go, Farrell's warm, thick tone is the straw that stirs the sonic drink... By: Steve Baylin |

© KS Communications 2003 Music Morsels - Review May 2004 - From Ottawa comes guitar playing that is steeped in Louisiana swamps, Texas hills and Chi-Town back alleys. Robert Farrell's voice has a more alt rock edge and his songwriting stretches beyond the typical blues rock path. Stand out songs include "Blind," "Heatseeker" and the boogie fueled instrumental "Sidewinder" in which Robert flat out smokes on the slide. Canada's answer to Johnny Winter, Robert Cray and Sonny Landreth. |

© KS Communications 2002 www.banditbluesradio.com review - I know what you are saying Robert Farrell who the hell is Robert Farrell? Well he is best known for his blistering rock guitar work in some circles in Canada. According to Larry LeBlanc, the Canadian editor of Billboard Magazine, Robert Farrell is, "arguably the greatest undiscovered guitarist in Canada. I would have to agree with that statement! This CD has lots of soloing and is just flat out impressive! Robert comes on like a smooth groover, more than a commercial screamer, but don't let that fool you this guy has some killer chops, and a style all his own which can be clearly heard on his blistering instrumental called "Wild Hands". Some of my favorites is a slow grooving thing called "The Rush" and a hard blues number that really kicks "Wreckin' Ball", another one that I am sure will leap out of the CD player and grab your attention is "When the Banks of the Mississippi Run Dry", which is worth the price of this CD alone. It’s tough being what the entertainment media likes to call a "best-kept
secret". But the secret is out and his name is Robert Farrell! Get
this CD today, also you may want to pick up some earlier work by Robert
Farrell such as "Express" or "When the Banks of the Mississippi
Run Dry" and a new release called "Sun House Fury" will
be available very soon. |
