Dba - The Sky Is Falling

DBA stands for Derringer, Bogert & Appice and the album "The Sky Is Falling" was originally released in 2001 with the album title "Doin' Business As...". This short-lived power trio featured guitarist and producer Rick Derringer, ex-Vanilla Fudge bassist Tim Bogert and Rock & Roll über-drummer Carmine Appice. "The Sky Is Falling" is a hard rock album with well-written compositions, great production, excellent vocals and musicianship. All three members are strict super-choppers and studio professionals and it shows that they have been recording since the 1960s. 17 years after this album was released, the music still has teeth, because it's well arranged and raucously played. It offers consistent hooks, excellent melodies, and vocal harmonies. Standout tracks include the title track, "Blood from a Stone," and the scorching "Dawn of Love." This reissue also includes a pair of bonus tracks, with the band offering live versions of two Derringer classics, "Hang on Sloopy," which he originally recorded with The McCoys in the late '60s, and his now ubiquitous party anthem, "Rock 'n' Roll Hoochie Koo.
