Jonny Kaplan & The Lazy Stars

08.15.2008 -- Review by: Don Zelazny

Apparently many others want to be Jonny’s friend as well. Seasons was the best selling CD on Miles of Music in June. Jonny lists his home as Los Angeles AND Nashville. Interesting combination, but not surprising when you note that in addition to writing and playing, Jonny is also into production as well. Of their music Jonny says “This is how it works..old school baby..” Evidence abounds, from the Stones-like high energy opening cut “Smoking Tar” to the very (electric) Dylanesque “Miracle Mile Madonna.” The track “Still Lonely” even has a very evident “Sweet Jane” riff. Mr. Kaplan has definitely studied his predecessors. The band has a nice rich sound, evident on “Golden Years” and the title track “Seasons.” He likes the what he says is the timelessness of rootsy, classic rock and roll and this short, but rich disc certainly delivers just that! Check him out!
