This is Michael Mixerr. Today I will review the Roney and the El Doradoes - Heal Me EP.
Roney and the El Dorados was/is a rock band from Atlanta, Georgia. It's a surprise to see a rock band from Atlanta being that Atlanta is a hip hop/rap and R&B powerhouse in terms of music. Atlanta is a haven for black music. With that said, Roney and the El Dorados released an EP that was a demo cassette as an attempt to get major record labels to sign the band. The demo was recorded and engineered in January 1989. Classic rock meets the underground sound of hardcore rock with a pinch of soft rock on this EP. Jerome Radway had engineered the demo for Roney and the El Dorados then. The cassette itself is one sided so there is no B Side.
Roney and the El Dorados deliver their lyrics into a heavy acoustic guitar ridden song with the song Old Wooden Guitar. The acoustics used on this song are beautiful. There are many acoustic guitars used on the song to accompany the acoustics in terms of production. Production may not be up to par by studio standard only because Old Wooden Guitar was recorded as a demo. Heal Me is a smooth acoustic guitar duo song accompanied by the sounds of soft rock. The trio uses this song to calm the mood of the EP. All three members use contributed their vocal on Heal Me. Roney and the El Dorados did their best here.
I rate this EP, Heal Me, 4/5****.
