Pontus Snibb has just released his second solo album “Admiral Street Recordings II” (Rootsy). And considering that he’s also the front man in Bonafide and has a bunch of other projects going on, it’s fascinating that he’s able to produce such a great album; 14 tracks with a bonus album. The bonus album is a 10-track rock opera with the title “The Musical Journey of Jim and Sam”.

Classic Rock is the base here with influences from southern rock, crunchy AC/DC-riffs and blues rock of a kind that makes me think of the early Whitesnake sometimes. A lot of variation and I can hear parts with americana and country breaking in. Maybe a heritage from Pontus’ engagement in Jason and the Scorchers?
I think the biggest asset, though, is Pontus’ voice, which has this soulful blues feeling, sometimes touching Coverdale’s way of singing, especially during the seventies.
