CD REVIEWS (This review was also published at www.701.com) |
This Life is a self-contained jukebox of 12 diversely original compositions that expertly capture the innocent idealism of �60s and �70s popular soft rock, soul, r&b, a little bit of funk and even a touch of country blues (with Spanish guitar flavouring). If it just didn�t sound so damn good, in this godforsaken world of terrorism and amorality, I might say it was �out of time�. As it stands, it�s an entertaining musical dose of optimistic sincerity in the midst of all the negativity so prevalent today. While the CD is a high-quality recording in itself, this extraordinary group of musicians is best experienced live. That�s where you�ll catch the interactive skills to the maximum. Without mentioning any names of the nine (and sometimes more) stellar players/ vocalists/songwriters cooperatively blending their own unique talents to the mix, take my word - it�s enough to make you believe in magic again! Men may be from Mars and women from Venus, but these �cats� and �dogs� add truthfulness to the French adage, �Vive La Diff�rence�. |
