I am astounded as to why there have been no other reviewers of this album??. Well folks, here we go.
I have seldom, if ever, come across a voice that is a force of nature. Rebecca is one such force of nature. What sets Rebecca apart from other voices is her raw,unadulterated, unpretentious power. There is a maxim ,which is as follows,"the truly great artists make it appear easy in whatever they do ". This is perfectly true with Rebecca and her band. To take this one step further. There are many great vocalists past and present. But when it comes to exceptional vocalists, past and present, there are few. To me Rebecca is in that elite club of exceptional. That may sound a bold statement to make? All I would say is take a look at vocalists in the present and then take a look at past vocalists. My only caveat to this is that I never compare artists with each other, as I feel it is a disservice.
This album is a powerful full throttle, hard-core ride that will blow your hair off. To say that this is a blues album, could be construed as erroneous by the purists of blues? Well geezers and geezerettes, you are in for a big surprise. It is blues, it is also rock and it is also blues rock. To be able to combine all of these together is nothing short of a masterpiece.
It can sometimes be difficult for bands to create successive albums that are better than their last. This album is the bands 5th release. They keep raising their own level of excellence with each of their albums. Is this their best yet? Geezers and geezerettes, I will let you decide.
Because of my passion for music, I have found that if you truly listen to an album, you can get a feel if the band are enjoying playing. That may sound bonkers. To better explain this, it may seem contrived. I will use this album as an example. I have now listened to this release on a number of occasions. They are not just going through the numbers to produce an album. Each and every time I can hear the bands enjoyment in playing. Is my description bonkers? Again, I will leave that up to you to decide.
As fans, we should never forget the hard work that the band members put into an album. With this band, you know that you are in safe hands. All of them play up in the stratosphere. You may also come across some surprises, which i will not mention. My last bit is about the lyrics. As an analogy, if you would allow me your indulgence for a moment. My favourite painter is Van Gough. With his use of colours, he created a new world for me. Just imagine, how could Van Gough create such vibrancy with his use of colour? To me, lyricists use words in much the same way to create a vibrancy to their music. So yes I do have great admiration for lyricists.
