Albums of the Month
|
ROCK WOLVES (SPV)
...this is a supremely well crafted and produced album that offers up some
memorable tunes...an almost perfect debut that one hopes will be continued
rather than merely mark down time from the band members' respective projects.
(David Randall) |
|
|
GLENN HUGHES Resonate (Frontiers)
...It’s an album sculpted by layered parts and shaped by a huge
wall of sound that accommodates every element of Glenn’s
bristling persona. He’s an indefatigable performer who rocks,
grooves and gets just as soulful in the studio as he does while
treading the boards. (Pete Feenstra) |
|
|
RED BUTLER
Nothing To Lose
(indie)
...lights a fuse which smoulders, sparkles and
finally glistens, as it fully reveals itself as an
album with purposeful songs built round intricate
little pauses, rich layers of sounds, catchy hooks
and big guitar breaks.. (Pete Feenstra) |
|
|
BLACKBERRY SMOKE Like An
Arrow
(Earache)
... Blackberry Smoke have produced another fine set of tunes and each one holds
its own delights...and many will doubtless become firm favourites in their live
shows (Jason Ritchie) |
