RadioIndy Review of “Under The Influence” by Zak Alister!RadioIndyReview wrote on May 09, 2008
“Under The Influence” by Zak Alister is an impressive rock album, bearing a myriad of unique sounds and musical influences. The CD includes elements of blues, rock n’ roll, and world music. The CD includes top-notch production and musicianship, especially guitarwork. The highlight of the CD is the excellent songwriting, producing hook-filled bluesy rock songs. “Coconut Blues” makes a very lively opening for “Under the Influence.” This blues-rock tune delivers some excellent electric guitar work, and immediately acquaints listeners to Zaks appealing voice. The heavily reggae-influenced “Sister of Mercy” again flaunts great song structure and lyrically explores themes of faith and hope, like many of the songs on this CD. “Riff for Frank” and “Slimy Fishes” are among this collection’s biggest rockers. Fans of Jimi Hendrix and The Rolling Stones ought to add this CD to their collection, ASAP!
