His current team consisting of Ian Ross on bass and Rodger Carter on drums are also very crucial to the all instrumental album. This is especially true for Ross as the bassist, who provides a special dynamic of deep heavy bass jamming that complements John 5\u2019s playing in just the right way. The drumming of Carter also completes the versatile musical range of John 5, going from Bluegrass, to Industrial, to Western Swing, to Rock, and back again. This is all accomplished in a very refreshing intensity on Season Of The Witch<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>To read the review in full, go here: <a href=\"http:\/\/crypticrock.com\/john-5-season-witch-review\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/crypticrock.com\/john-5-season-witch-review\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cryptic Rock reviews the John 5 and The Creatures album Season of the Witch and awards it 4.5 out of 5<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5896,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[570,13,559,621,715],"class_list":["post-6192","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-review","tag-cryptic-rock","tag-john-5","tag-john-5-and-the-creatures","tag-review","tag-season-of-the-witch","tw-post-no-content"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/john-5.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/john-5-black-and-white-matt-wilson-images-2017.jpg?fit=550%2C307&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p1qFj4-1BS","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":6194,"url":"https:\/\/john-5.com\/main\/2017\/03\/06\/review-guitar-great-john-5-opens-solo-tour-at-louie-gs\/","url_meta":{"origin":6192,"position":0},"title":"[Review] Guitar Great John 5 Opens Solo Tour at Louie G&#8217;s","author":"Dillon -
