Turning fast beneath the mightiest of guns,” A.A. Bondy sings on “Mightiest of Guns,” the opening track off his newest offering, When the Devil’s Loose. It’s a song that exemplifies what Bondy does best—he takes his time with his talents, slowly taking you in with his dreamy voice, smart lyrics, and soulful punch. By the time the title track hits, Bondy has easily won you over, and he doesn’t let go one bit; one listen to “Oh the Vampyre” or “I Can See the Pines are Dancing,” and you’ll be hooked. The writing is now on the wall: A.A. Bondy is a special talent—a sure-footed devil on the loose—who shouldn’t be going away any time soon.
