TK Webb and the Visions
What? With their 2005 debut, countrified-rock outfit Magnolia Electric Co. asked a mind-boggling question: "What comes after the blues?" Three years later, Brooklyn-based troubadour TK Webb has found the answer, and it’s pretty heavy, man. With his newly formed backing band, the Visions — featuring ex-members of Blood on the Wall and Love as Laughter — Webb returns this week with the riff-tastic Ancestor. A drastic departure from the stark, howling blues perversions of Webb’s 2006 solo outing, Phantom Parade, Ancestor owes more to Robert Plant than it does to Robert Johnson, with astral sonic projections, mystical lyrics, and ’70s-hard-rock-indebted guitar play that will have you hopping misty mountain tops from the moment the needle drops.
