REVIEW

They say hard work pays off. They also say you have to believe in what you’re doing if you want to be successful in an original rock n roll band. Success on your own terms is the key to having fun in a band and knowing what you are capable of. The Playin’ With Fire Band is a band very much in that view.

After suffering a terrible personal loss the band has come back with a strong new 4-song EP that was just released entitled “Dream With Your Eyes Wide Open.” This release has great songs, great vocals and solid playing.

The opener “Thunderin” sounds like a great missing Stones track. “Turn Me On” is an edgy guitar driven rocker track that reminds me of Faces and has that British edge and hard rock sound. The closer is a ballad called “Wishes” that shows off Kim and the bands strong vocals.

Noteworthy is the fine accompaniment of Al Kash on Drums and Sonny Speed on Keyboards. I have not seen the band live but after hearing the CD I have every intention of catching them perform and I suggest you do the same!

    I can’t wait to listen to you all play tonight at Rex Knight bbq at the Whipperwill in Lake George. I wish you played more in the Saratoga area

    Just got my CD. Love it! It's a car-keeper for sure. Listen to it all the time. Never saw Playin' With Fire live, (400 miles away), but see a lot of things online. I would definitely get hold of this album either on CD or online. You won't regret it. These are some extremely talented people and they write great songs. I'm looking for bigger things for them. (I'm also a writer and record and produce) Just do it!

    Saw PWFB for the first time at O’Slattery’s on Saturday night. They are fantastic. Enjoyed listening to music from « our era « plus the original tunes they played. Steve and Kim’s voices compliment each other and they can cover a broad range of genre’s seamlessly. Guitar and bass phenomenal. Enjoyed Joe on the harmonica as well. Can’t wait to see them again. But, in the meantime we can hear them whenever we want on their Closer than we know CD...which by the way is awesome! Highly recommend it !!!!! They have 2 new fans 🙂 Thanks again for a great evening of music !!!!! It just went by way too fast !!!!!!!!! Sheri and John Pittz

    Great CD! Love all the songs but Hard Charger is by far my favorite!<br />
  • Liz
    You guys were on fire! Thank heavens for my Crocs!!! 🙂 There was so much energy under that tent it is a wonder it didn't take off. Congratulations!!!!
  • Rhonda
    What great songs and sound you all had today. Glad we were able to share this with all of you.

    I have had the CD in my truck since the release. I have had it on each day going to work and around town. I enjoy listening as you get to hear the words more clearly than sometimes at live performances. Although they always sound great as well, sometimes at performances the instruments are heard over the vocals depending on crowd ,acoustics, background noise etc. As the CD was mastered, the vocals are very clear on each song and I get to better hear each word, even though I already knew many of them from performances. A great cd.

    Kim-<br /> ``WOW, this CD is so good. And your voice!!... fabulous! I couldn't stop smiling the whole while I was listening to it. Songs are great, music is amazing. I love the hard beats of some of the songs. And can I say again.....your voice....!! I so enjoy powerful, (I don't want to say deep, because that's not it) I can't put words to what I like but your voice is it. You also can sing the sweet tunes, but it's the Melissa Etheridge/ Stevie Nicks quality I like the most. ENJOYING the CD...You must be so proud of this! You certainly should be. Congratulations to all of you.. ``<br /> Barb.<br /> Thank You!

    On behalf of the Selkirk Fire Department we THANK everyone for coming out and making our annual Summertime events a success. The turnout for the 61st Annual Glenmont Fireman’s Fair, and the 42nd Annual Flea Market & Craft Fair, were amazing.</p> <p>We also had a great response to our first ever Block Party featuring the Playin’ With Fire Band. The response was so positive, to the Block Party, that we may make it an annual event, like the other events. Thanks to Stevie Wright, Kim Wickham, and the rest of the band for putting on an electric entertaining show, that had people dancing, and singing, right along

    Loved being in ``front row`` seats for your O'Slatterys gig last night. Got to see Danny's hands gliding up and down the neck so skillfully and effortlessly. My wife, Barb, heard a lot of Rita Coolidge in Kim's voice. Steve's vocals were spot on in ``Best of My Love``. Only regret is that we had to leave too soon.<br /> We also had a great response to our first ever Block Party featuring the Playin’ With Fire Band.

    Playing With Fire ? was rocking at the Red Knights club house Saturaday night. I have watched & listened to them many times but never seen them so hooked up as they were at the Red Knights Spring bash.We also had a great response to our first ever Block Party featuring the Playin’ With Fire Band.
