Head
Honchos’ play smokin’ Chicago blues imbued with elements of rock. The
band is also a father/son affair – formed by guitarist Rocco Calipari
Sr. (who is also a member of noted longtime Chicago band, Howard and the White Boys) and his son, Rocco Calipari Jr.
“With their debut release, the Head Honchos’ demonstrate a high level
of musical maturity and provide a truly enjoyable album from their
cover of the Freddie King standard “Going Down” until the final note
on the seventh and last track, “99 1/2 Won’t Do,” wrote Blues Rock Review in a recent review of the group’s eponymous self-titled debut disc.
In just over two years together as a working band, Head Honchos’
have garnered positive reviews for their self-titled debut release in
publications both far (Blues Matters and Metalliville in the U.K.) and
near (Blues Source; Vintage Guitar; Chicago Examiner; Bluesrockers;
Barrelhouse Blues; Southland Blues; BMans Blues Report; more). The
band are about to record the follow-up to their debut, tentatively titled “Come Strong.”
Head Honchos’: Fiery Chicago Blues-Rock.
“WHO
ARE THESE GUYS? Original and soul-pounding Blues at its best. I have
seldom heard a Blues-Rock band with so much power! This is hard rockin’
blues at its best…I’ve been waiting for this…it’s like getting
kicked in the gut and saying thanks…really powerful backup and
spin-tingling, terrifying, aggressive guitar playing is the new deal
here. I am not going to compare this CD with anybody’s CD. You just have
to hear it. This is ground-breaking Blues.” BLUES SOURCE

“Wow!
From the opening track, “Goin’ Down,” this disc had our attention! From
there however, things only got better, the next song, “Lucky’s Train,”
had us grooving and enjoying the juicy guitar riffs and righteous vocals
– and surprise – it’s an original. There are no disappointments on this
CD. Every track sparkles with electricity, great guitar, stellar
engineering and production, and wonderful vocals. In short, it’s a home
run…out of the park!“ BARRELHOUSE BLUES
