Legacy Of Fools (CD)
Legacy Of Fools continues Little King's 11-year tradition of high-level musicianship. The group's intricate interplay is flaunted on tracks like "Collateral Damage," "Legacy" (which includes a beautiful violin melody performed by one of Rosoff's former students, Lyris Soto), "Internal Smut," and "202." The dynamic material alternates between soaring melodies and chest-thumping rock and roll. Rosoff's rhythm and solo guitar work are top-shelf, and he sings with passion and conviction. Eddy Garcia (formerly of Ministry and Pissing Razors) drums deftly; his chops are wrought with power and complexity. Bassist Michael Esparza plays with an acute understanding of when to groove and when to step into the spotlight. The power trio is joined by backing vocalists Heather Oglesby and Betsy Tinajero on three songs, and for the first time in Little King's history, keyboards play an integral role in sculpting the band's sound, as Ruben Gutierrez enhances seven of the album's nine tracks. These collaborations result in a disc that is equally emotional and adroit. Without question, Legacy Of Fools is Little King's most complete, hard-hitting, and satisfying effort to date.
