Paradise Kings’ Controlled Burn CD Release Party happens at Uptown Lounge, 3126 State St., Sunday, July 30. Showtime: 2pm-5pm. Free. Info: (805) 845-8800 or http://www.sbuptownlounge.com/.

Indie Pulse Music writes, Controlled Burn is “a collection of tracks that show a wide range of musical talent. With it’s Blues, Rock and Swing inspirations, Paradise Kings have really knocked this one out of the park. Vocalist Henry Garrett and (guest vocalist) Jan Ingram, are a bold combination and whether they sing together or separately, you have to love them both. An example would be the smooth vocal tracks on ‘Butter Me Up’, where Ingram pulls a Satin Doll with smokey and saucy temper. In ‘Money Ain’t My Friend,’ Garrett takes his shots, one after the other, bringing that smokey barroom sound to the venues they perform, and on this album, into your living room.” Read the entire review here.

Known for their high-energy live shows, Paradise Kings consists of Henry Garrett on lead vocals; Jeff Gring on guitar; Michael Robertson on the bass; and George Lambert on drums. Lambert briefly describes each of the eight tracks on Controlled Burn:

69 Chevy: “Good-time, swingin’ trip back to the times of fast cars and faster women…”

I’d Sing The Blues If I Had ‘Em: “Straightforward blues shuffle about the juxtaposition of a lucky guy who loves blues music.”

Three Strikes: “Funky blues tune about a guy whose luck has run out and is facing serious time for his crimes. One gets the feeling he really understands the severity of his actions.”

Slow Down: “Blues shuffle about an older guy trying to keep up with today’s society (and a younger woman) all at the same time.”

Butter Me Up (vocals by Jan Ingram): “Classic, James Brown-influenced funk tune about a woman who’s not being treated well by her man. Imagine that…”

Patience: “A 6/8, slow blues tune about a guy who loves his girl and wants to get at her quickly, but she has different ideas about just how long things should take.”

Poor Me, Poor Me, Pour Me Another Drink: “Classic rock tune about a guy who drinks way too much and does nothing about it but complains.”

Money Ain’t My Friend: “Live track recorded in Santa Barbara about a guy who’s trying like hell to make it, but just can’t make enough money to satisfy his lady. One gets the idea that he has hope that his luck’s gonna change.”
