  Double Barrel Blues Band “Bad Bad Feeling” Blues Lion 2009 // Mark Cloutier “Diary Of A Stratman” Blues Lion 2009. Excitante banda de blues entretenida, alegre y vivaracha, que basa todo su peso en el trabajo de su guitarrista Mark Cloutier, ‘alma mater’ del grupo. Los músicos escogen bien el repertorio, y ya sabemos la importancia que tiene un buen repertorio en un cd, pues de ello depende muchas veces que el álbum pueda llegar a aburrir soberanamente, o bien divertir a raudales. En este caso los Double Barrel Blues Band han sabido conjugar un repertorio animado, vibrante y muy variado, lo que, además de los gustos personales, probablemente se convierte en una razón de peso cuando se valora la posibilidad de comprar algunos discos. La banda se califica como un cuarteto de blues y de rock-blues, y desde luego lo son. Particularmente me decanto más por este último término, ya que basan toda la fuerza expresiva en la guitarra de su líder Mark, que posee un sonido y una técnica incendiaria y brillante, a base de riffs rocosos y en ocasiones volcánicos. En algunos pasajes la banda también juguetea con el jump, en temas de corte más tejano, junto a buenos slow blues como “Tin Pan Alley”, con el que cierran “Bad Bad Feeling”, pero en la mayoría de temas se ve claramente que el blues-rock es lo suyo, dadas las características intrínsecas del grupo. Como digo, blues-rock sin pretensiones, pero sobrio, efectivo y gustoso, si se puede usar un adjetivo como este para definir la música.
El segundo disco es más bien una exaltación del propio Mark Cloutier, un trabajo que firma bajo su nombre y en el cual da rienda suelta a su imaginación con diez temas originales, todos ellos instrumentales y, a diferencia del anterior, de estilo más relajado, bluesy y un poquito groove, que finalmente se convierte en una completa exhibición de guitarra para los amantes de este instrumento. MUY BUENOS. Here comes an exciting, joyful and lively blues band, which base his work on Mark Cloutier’s guitar work, who in fact is the one who carries the band weight. These fellows have done a good repertoire selection and all you know the importance of the songs selection to complete a successful cd, because many times it is a determinant reason to do a totally boring or a lovely album. This time, The Double Barrel Blues Band combine a varied bright and rolling selection which, besides personal tastes, is really important when you decide to buy some cds. They define themselves as a blues and blues-rock quartet and this is really true. I personally think they are more a blues-rock band because they base all the expressive potential on the guitar work of their leader Mark Cloutier, who has a terrific flaming sound and technique, full of rocky passionate riffs. The band also play some jump passages in a more Texas blues style, together with other slow blues such as “Tin Pan Alley” that ends this “Bad Bad Feeling” album, but, in general, the cd clearly shows blues-rock is the music they feel at ease with. In short words, there is unpretentious blues-rock, effective, restrained and savoury, if I can use these words to define their music
The second cd runs high into Mark Cloutier’s work, done under his own name, where he gives free rein to his imagination along ten instrumental original songs, but played on a more relaxed, bluesy and grooving style than the previous one that finally becomes a totally guitar exhibition, perfect for guitar lovers.
