We've got some blues players here! Boney Fields' music is the dream come true of a blues feeling wrapped up in a selection of funky grooves adorned with powerful brass ornaments! The sexiness and soul of Boney's music is tantalizing and magical. The Paris-based American trumpet player and singer is the ringleader of a band of huge musical quality, all at the same time old-time friends and crafted musicians. Francis Rateau 
The Boney Fields concert I went to see was the slap in the face of 2005 (in a good sense !). Here’s someone who knows what the word “Blues” means. Do not be surprised when he shouts out to the world in “We Play The Blues”! This music is coming out from the man’s every pore. In five years, Boney has built one of the best hard-working bands in the country, a groove machine made of six incredible musical personalities whose sole aim is to serve the music! This CD is a genuine ray of light. Boney Fields’ charisma is overwhelming, and his presence, both vocal and instrumental, is huge! Tonton Erick 
Three years after their previous release « Red Wolf » - also distributed by Nocturne - The Bone's Project are back in the limelight! But, God, how they were right to take their time! Most of the band's line up has remained the same, extensive touring enabling the band to gel even more together. The CD itself is a beautiful object, starting with the superb digipack case to the front cover illustration drawn once again by Densnake. There are many different musical moods offered to us here. Boney Fields is at the helm of an impressive funk machine, with a very efficient brass section with tailor-made riffs and innovative arrangements. The Bone's Project album is both eclectic and coherent and should meet its audience way beyond the funk-blues buffs. Marc Loison 
As any other blues giant would have, the Chicago-born trumpet player and singer has put once again his name on the map for 2006, and in capital letters: with a cooool comic-style cover, here are 13 great tracks for a total playing time of over 70 minutes of music to be played at full volume with a string of world-class guests. Franky Bluesy PFEIFFER 
With its now legendary crew - A high-powered brass section supported by the tightest of rhythms sections - The Bone's Project latest album is just not another CD: it is one of the most accomplished collection of songs, carried both by unstoppable grooves and an sense of musicianship that could cause a snowman to melt from spontaneous combustion. A lot of people expected the Bone's Project new album to be impressive and versatile. It's even more than that! Boney didn't stop at nothing to provide us with songs that could easily be considered as classics worth those written in their time by James Brown, Ray Charles or Maceo Parker! A true soul genius, he is taking The Bone's over the edge, up to another level, especially with songs such as « Don't Let It Get You Down », a tune that could fit in Stevie Wonder's own set list. There also are tunes like « We play the Blues », « Girl Insane » ou « Get up and stand out », tailor-designed to send any audience head over heels! Whether as a trumpet player or a vocalist, Boney is also making room to his accomplices in the well-titled « Revelation », where both mind-blowing bass player Mike Armoogum and sax player (and real-life muse) Nadège Dumas are revealing their extreme sense of musicianship. Unquestionably, « We play the Blues » is bound to stand out from the rest of today's production. It should definitely help Boney Fields to get to the place he deserves among the best artists of contemporary African-American music. Radio and TV broadcasters should listen closely to such mass of talent and quality. 2006 should definitely be the year of Boney Fields & The Bone's Project! So Be It! Fred DELFORGE 
Boney Fields & The Bone's Project new album certainly is the most accomplished recorded by the band. It is a privilege to listen to a music of such quality: this CD simply is a musical treasure! In fact, there's more than just excellent music captured in this album: more like a sense of musical brotherhood emanating from the band, a love and dedication for the music they're playing, like if they wished to offer to the listener an exceptional moment, which is clearly the case! Boney's energy and presence combined to the Bone's Project's musical excellence - which has become the band's legendary trademark over the years – are giving to every single song of this CD a high-powered, magical quality. Hail to the man and his crew for offering us nothing less than a gem, probably one of the best independent albums of 2006. Thierry |
