Great second effort!.......2007-07-23

Switzerland is more than Krokus and Celtic Frost!!!
Gotthard has always been a favorite in Europe, and it is easy too see why. Pure, clean hard rock in the vain of early Def Leppard. Throw in a pinch of Bon Jovi and a morsel of AC/DC and you got Gotthard. Highly recommended for anyone with a taste of classic Hard Rock with a modern touch.

BLUES + ROCK + CATCHY SONGS = BIG ALBUM.......2006-02-14

TOGETHER WITH "G", ONE OF THE BEST HARD ROCK/ BLUES ALBUMS OF THESE LAST YEARS. TO ME, IT'S EVEN BETTER THAN THEIR FIRST ALBUM. I DON'T KNOW WHICH IS THE BEST, "G" OR THIS ONE. I CAN ONLY SAY THAT THESE KIND OF 4/4 SONGS ARE THE SONG PEOPLE LIKE. THESE ARE THE SONGS PEOPLE LIKE LISTENING TO WHILE THE RIDE A MOTORCYCLE THROUGH THE ENDLESS DESERT OF ARIZONA OR NEVADA. THESE KIND OF SONGS GIVE ME THE POWER TO SCREAM MY HAPPINESS AND THE POWER THAT I FEEL INSIDE TO THE ENTIRE WORLD. THE FIRST TWO, THE FOURTH , BUT I WOULD SAY, ALL OF THEM, THEY ARE VERY POWERFUL SONGS, JUST LIKE A FIST IN YOUR STOMACH. THESE SONGS HAVE THE POWER OF HARD ROCK AND THE FEELING OF BLUES. IF YOU BUY THIS ALBUM AND YOU DON'T LIKE IT, I REFUND YOU (IT IS A JOKE, EHEHEHE). I CAN BET ANYTHING YOU WILL LIKE THIS HEAVY, TOUGH, HARD, POWERFUL, STRONG ALBUM.
AND, TO THE END OF THE ALBUM, THERE IS THE CLASSIC BALLAD THAT WILL MAKE YOU FINALLY REST. ONE VERY GOOD ALBUM, BECAUSE THEY MIXED THE POWER OF THE HARD ROCK & THE SOUND OF BLUES. WHAT ELSE I CAN SAY ? "I'M YOUR TRAVELIN MAN" IS ONE THE BEST SONG, I WOULD SAY. IF YOU ALREADY HAVE "G", BUY THIS, TOO. BECAUSE IT'S SIMILAR, BUT AT THE SAME TIME DIFFERENT. SONGS SPEAK BY THEMSELVES.

Melodic and groovy.......2004-05-07

The second album from Gotthard is titled "DIAL HARD" (1994) and the band continue in the same direction as the first album but this time it's a bit more polished - still heavy metal though! While Gotthard did a cover of "Hush" the last time, they have now chosen Beatles' "Come together" and they managed to do a great version. The songs on "DIAL HARD" are mainly of high standard even if one could ask for more originality since the material melts together like it did on the debut album. But with songs like the groovy "Mountain mama", the bluesy "I'm your travelin' man", and the strutting "Dirty devil rock", Gotthard really shine from time to time.

Tim.......2001-08-10

I have been a Gotthard fan for awhile. Had one of their other CD's for about 3 years and listened to it quite a bit. Got this one in the "reduced" import section of one of the local record shops I visit. Killer all the way around. Great drum sound, excellent vocal performance, classic Gibson / Marshall guitar sound. Song arranging and guitar solos are also excellent. I play locally here in a hard rock trio and plan on using this CD as a platform for it's structure. The only downer is the 2 live tracks at the end of the CD. Poor sound compared to the rest of the CD. Steve does do a mean Robert Plant though. If you have heard of this band and are a fan, this is a "must have" from these guys.

Gotthard at their best.......2000-06-19

This is probably Gotthard's heaviest album. The production is better than e.g. on "G" and makes the whole thing sound a little less raw than the previous albums. Don't get me wrong, I like the old stuff, too ("Hush" is a killer), but "Dial Hard" is even better. It also feature the obligatory cover version, this time it's "Come together". Favorite songs: "She goes down" - cool heavy guitar riff; "I'm on my way" - nice ballad; "Come together" - slightly harder than the original *grin*. There are no fillers on the album, every single song is worth your money.

Dial "S" for Sonny, but be forewarned that it's a party line........2006-06-24

With the exception of "Love Walked In," which features piano all the way, Clark generously shares equal solo time with Mobley, Farmer, and Fuller on the other six tunes. Still, he has enough space to make the most of what was his Blue Note debut, playing with greater fluency and technical aplomb than on the more celebrated "Cool Struttin'." In fact, based on the evidence of this recording, a listener might wonder if Clark was destined to be the next Bud Powell.

But unlike Bud, Sonny is clearly more of a "session player," contributing five of the seven tunes, each of them the kind musicians love to blow on. And unlike, say, a Horace Silver, Sonny seems happy to remain in the background, showcasing his inventive soloists. Mobley is in his prime (another reason I'd pick this one ahead of "Cool Struttin'"), his warm, musky sound never captured better. Farmer is brassier and more emotional than I've ever heard him. Fuller is crisp and incisive, though I could have done with one less soloist in favor of extended choruses by the other musicians. (Clark's single-note, horn-like approach to his own solos is another reason to go with a leaner ensemble, if only to reduce the duplication of textures).

The youthful Louis Hayes plays like a veteran, even at this early stage which pre-dates his tours of duty with the Adderley brothers and Oscar Peterson. Wilbur Ware supports the legendary status he had attained as a musician's musician, a bass player who could be counted on to make any session swing (though I haven't decided whether his penchant for repeating the same note is effective tension and release or harmonic insecurity). All in all, an impressive introduction to Sonny Clark as a leader, composer, and player.

"Dial 'S' For Sonny" Gets Re-Dialed.......2005-03-04

Pianist Sonny Clark's "Dial 'S' For Sonny" was first issued on CD in 1997 as part of Blue Note's limited edition Connoisseur Series, but went out-of-print shortly after its initial release. Now with this reissue in the RVG Edition, it makes a permanent return to the catalog. This 1957 session features a sextet lineup of Art Farmer on trumpet, Curtis Fuller on trombone, Hank Mobley on tenor sax, Wilbur Ware on bass and Louis Hayes on drums tackling four Clark originals (with one alternate take) and two standards. This is very solid hard bop session that falls just short of Sonny's best Blue Notes, "Leapin' and Lopin'" and "Sonny's Crib," in my opinion. In any event, fans of the pianist who missed this title the first time around, will be delighted that "Dial 'S' For Sonny" has been re-dialed.

Solid.......2000-12-14

Its ill wind that Sonny Clark's heart stopped after only 31 years, fortunately he left us a few records such as Dial "S" For Sonny. Every musician on the album (Art Farmer (t), Curtis Fuller (tbn), Hank Mobley (ts), Sonny (pno), Wilbur Ware (b), and Louis Hayes (d)) controls a fire that burns a single flame entirely. Four out of the six tunes are Sonny's and all are solid. In the liner notes Sonny is quoted "Jazz is Jazz wherever it's played."...they played in Hackensack, NJ and they swung.

very good, but not quite classic.......2000-08-09

This is the only Sonny Clark-led Bluenote that strikes me as "only" very good, even excellent, but not a classic. Mind you, any album with both Hank Mobley and Sonny Clark is well worth your time, but it doesn't seem to have the note-to-note inevitability of his other albums. I guess I'm talking about that indefineable thing called chemistry. There seemed to be more of it between trombonist Curtis Fuller and John Coltrane on the previous Sonny's Crib. Perhaps Sonny just came out with another album too soon after the last one (September 1, '57 for Sonny's Crib, November 10, '57 for Dial "S"). In any case, I'm speaking in relative terms here, and this album still deserves four-and-a-half stars.

Terrific laidback hard bop with outstanding solos.......2000-07-06

The great thing about this record is its solo performances and its laidback swing, and swing it certainly does. Most of the tracks on this record is written by Sonny himself, and played in company with the likes of Art Farmer, Hank Mobley and Curtis Fuller, you just don't get much better hard bop. The feeling this record leaves you with, is just so pleasant, and addictive it is too. Looking in retrospective it is strange that Sonny Clark didn't earn more recognition, considering that many of these songs are standard stuff. A gem of a record that operates on many levels, and therefore gets under your skin and brings about many small sensations. Certainly worth acquiring, get it before it's too late.

Sonny rides again.......2000-03-28

This is s typical Sonny Clark record, skillful and thouroghly enjoyable. It's a wonder he never did become more famous in his home country, a true genius he was. The highpoints on this record is the title track, plus "It could happen to you" and "Sonny's mood", but all the numbers has a high standard. It's the kind of record that just keeps getting better and better each time.
