Hip Shakin' Mama & The Leg Men "Reclaim Your Land" consists of 11 power packed Tracks of truly Hip Shakin' Mama music. Shelley-Lynne Hardinge shows off her other immense talents as the writer of all the music and lyrics on this album. Combine that with her amazing voice and second to none band members, and you really have one hell of a tour de force of exceptionally performed songs. Joining Shelley-Lynne on "Reclaim Your Land" were The Leg Men consisting of Gerry Perkin (Guitar), Doug Sullivan (Drums), Dave Oakey (Harmonica), Phil Nevile (Keys on Tracks 1 & 5), Rob Lamonica (Keys & Hammond), Adrian Kuryliw (Bass on Track 2), Richie Hardinge (Bass & Husband of Shelley-Lynne).
The music on "Reclaim Your Land" is really a group effort, with the entire band getting to shine on virtually all the Tracks. Shelley-Lynne Hardinge, for sure is the focal point, but The Leg Men are such good musicians that they can't help but also shine on this album, whether it be the great Key work of Phil Nevile and Rob Lamonica, most notable on over half the Tracks, or Dave Oakey on Harmonica that shines through on Track 8 "Funkalicious Sugar Blue". Gregg Perkin's amazing Guitar work takes center stage on the Santana sounding Track 5 "She Doesn't Want You" and Track 7 "I've Been Loving You To Long", which to me sounded a bit like Blue Suede Shoes. Rock solid Bass by Adrian Kuryliw and Richie Hardinge, along with the superb beat of Doug Sullivan, makes for an extremely tight and formidable band. ~John Vermilyea
