Over the past couple of years, Big Chris has begun both building and playing his own brand of cigar box guitars. Wanting to get away from that front porch sound, he began writing and recording "When Your Time Comes" with his own instruments. Tackling almost every instrument, Big Chris added all bass, guitars, and vocals. Darren Dickens and Tim Burns were brought in to complete the recordings on drums. Big Chris & D'Bare Bones Band "hit a literal bases loaded bottom of the ninth home run in terms of the superlative production, which almost gives rise to a live feel. Guitars are full and meaty (as they should) in that while not quite touching upon hard rock deliver a resounding presence all the same. A transparent feel allows bass to make quite the pronounced statement as well. What makes When Your Time Comes so special is how it finds Dickens hitting his blues based stride and coming into his own from both a vocal and guitar standpoint in the process. The album is chock full of his finely honed guitar licks and chops, which stand alongside integral vocals perfectly in tune with the musical aspects at hand. Ultimately, it comes down to songwriting in that When Your Time Comes is bursting forth with catchy and energetic blues rockers in the three to three and a half minute range to garner your attention with repeat listen. Fans of blues-rock and blues based hard rock in general are certain to be delighted with Big Chris & D’Bare Bones Band!" -- Angelic Warlord www.angelicwarlord.com
