KickBend Faith*Hope*Love
author: Annelise Collette
It is hard to convey how much I enjoyed this album. It is a wonderful experience consisting of many genres including country, pop, rock, blues and soul. One minute I was tapping my foot and wanting to dance (GONE) the next minute I was caught up in a more somber musical number portraying great feelings and depth (A SONG FOR YOU). The collection of songs fit well together and wraps you with a sense of comfort that will make you smile. The band syncs well together and the harmonies and vocals are a wonderful blend of music with a message. In addition, the 2 music videos are included that are simply marvelous and just happened to be my favorite songs on the album!

Then, there is Kick Bend, a blues rock band from Willow Springs, Illinois. It is a kick butt Southern rock band, offering up tasty blues and Springsteenesque rock. Their “A Song for You” is a song to rival G.B. Leighton’s “Wings Working Overtime,” a sweet song about the power of the love of a good woman. I was most impressed with “Let’s Make This Right,” a most unusual don’t-leave-me song with Eastern European rhythms, and the big rocking “The Beat Goes On.”
