Wow...finally a blues player with grit and who can play and sound fresh!
The cd is fantastic!One of my all time favorite tunes is Outside Woman Blues by Cream and the band do it right on Roll Away! Fantastic voice on this kid and I know that Back Door Slam will have staying power for sure.....I am a fan of early Fleetwood Mac , Cream and Hendrix if you enjoy these as well you will not be disapointed ....Davey Knowles is the real deal and I wish them the best..buy this cd !

Finally.. the wait is over! After years of waiting for some superb REAL music and genuine musical TALENT to come out of Britain, or more specifically, the Isle of Man..here are the guys who have the raw talent to put the British rock /blues music back on the map. Forget all those slack-jawed, self-obsessed, over-hyped pseudo-celebrities you see on celebrity TV that have as much talent and depth as an empty box of chocolates..BACK DOOR SLAM are THE REAL DEAL.
Guitarist Davy Knowles continues to amaze and inspire with his seemingly effortless guitar playing that draws on so many great influences and takes them somewhere new and with utter class. Also Davy has 'that' voice which puts him into the realm held by only a few rock legends - you won't believe your ears believe me. His songwriting, like his guitar playing and singing, belies his years and you can bet this is just the beginning of something VERY special as audiences in the USA have been discovering on the first part of their 2007 debut tour. The talented trio is completed superbly with fellow school mates, Ross Doyle on drums and Adam Jones on bass guitar who together bring out the best in Davy's playing and their chemistry live is not something you see every day... It's not often that you hear of a band getting several standing ovations at a gig as prestigious as the Beale Street Music Festival in Memphis, but that's just what Back Door Slam got! Now their debut CD, Roll Away has been released, you can bet that the word is going to spread even faster, and a lot of that live magic has been captured here - though as any of you who have seen them live, dripping with raw sweat and passion will know there's a heck of a lot more to come in the future. A BIG thumbs up to Davy, Ross and Adam!

Like "MemBen," I saw BDS in the Blues Tent at BSMF, and I've been waiting for the CD release ever since. Davy's guitar sound is as raw and hard core as any we heard all weekend. I honestly thought SRV was back. The crowd recognized what they were seeing, and responded accordingly. We were tired when they finished their set! Get this CD, and see them live whenever you can. You will be glad you did.

Stunning debut cd by this group out of the Isle of Man. The first two tracks Come home and Heavy on my Mind are on youtube and show how good this band is live. He is better than Clapton at 19. If this was the 1960's he would been a superstar. I just hope he can avoid all the downfalls that many bands go through with the alcohol and drugs.

What a powerful record! I love all the tracks on Roll Away. I am a lousy music critic, but I know what I like. KFOG in San Francisco played the song "Roll Away" between their morning show and the next segment, a slot when they normally don't announce the artist on air or online. I was at work (office) and not in a possition to investigate. Thankfully, Dave Morey came on air and introduced the song and also his admiration for where he thought Back Door Slam is going to go. Each song is like a little key turning in my mind: influences and originality. It has been ages since I could sit down and listen to new CDs the way I used to listen to whole records in a sitting. Roll Away is one of those. The guitar playing is masterful -- a cerebral tonic or very erotic massage - both. The band is just really good. If they get any better it could hurt. :) What a beautiful and sexy collection of wonderful performances. Thank you Back Door Slam. Keep your brains and souls open and don't anesthetize. You could take us to Jupiter or beyond.
