The Indianapolis power trio of Travis Feaster (guitar and vocals), Austin Shearer (bass), and Jake Iseminger (drums) are joined by J. Wesley Smith on piano and organ for the band's superb debut album, Long Overdue.
After years in residency at the famous Slippery Noodle Inn playing covers of Hendrix, SRV, and all of the Kings, the W.T. Feaster Band has come up with ten great original songs confirming the transition to accomplished musicians in their own right. Celebrity endorsement has already come from Tad Robinson, one of the top singers of Soul Blues, who opines, "Nice sounds, good songs, and great playing."
The CD is a mix of Blues, Rock, Soul, and groovy Funk, with Feaster proving that he can write poignant lyrics as well as play one of the fastest guitars in the midwest. Smith's keyboard playing is melodic improvisation at its best while Iseminger lays down infectious rhythms, adding subtle nuances and clever changes in pace and dynamics. Add the constant, solid rolling bass of Shearer and the outcome is the perfect platform for the bandleader's mellifluous voice and his mind-bending, diamond-hard riffs as Feaster mercilessly attacks his Fender Stratocaster which screams with an edgy intensity on some tracks and is played with gentle intricacy on others.

'Juggling Dynamite' is full of well crafted, smouldering tracks that don't so much explode into life as smother you into submission with a svelte touch and a soulful feel. As with the last album it's the Travis Feaster/Erick (Doug) Sims song writing team that lies at the core of the set, while producer Scott Velazcow adds his Nashville know-how to polish ten songs that sharply define the Feaster world of rock, funk, soul and blues.
There's a nicely linked feel to each track as the band explores and subtly stretches the songs to create a slow building dynamic that is given impetus by the peerless rhythm section of Austin Shearer and Clive Taylor, before WT adds his own gently sculptured solos. And it is this unhurried, organic feel that makes 'Juggling Dynamite' an album of real substance, full of understated drive and a soulful epicentre.
