Boring, but here!!


(WC)Best Coast- The Only Place – 2.5
There wasn’t anything really wrong with this, but there wasn’t anything really great about it either.  I like the first song, but then couldn’t decide if I was bored or getting depressed.  
(New)  Royal Southern Brotherhood- Royal Southern Brotherhood – 3.5Initially I wasn’t sure about this.  It seemed like any Allman Brothers cd but I didn’t realize that there actually was an Allman in the band.  Being the son of Gregg Allman can’t have been easy, but the kid can hold his own.  I would have liked to have heard something a little more original, but it was still very good.  I like the other singers voice a lot too.  He sounds a lot like Greg Walker from Santana or even Robert Cray and even some of the guitars sound like Santana.   
(New)Tzar Band Girls Money – 3.5
This had great potential.  Right from the start it was rockin.   Definitely heard some “Sugar” in the song “You can’t always want what you get” and lots of other influences. 
(Old)E- Man Called E - 2
I think that this month must be boring month.  I just couldn’t get overly excited about anything, especially this.  Like Best Coast, it was only so so.  The singer was too Ray Davies trying to sing Beach Boys songs.  It didn’t suck, and it had its moments but I’m good doing the occasional listen when a song pops up on random.  
(Old)Peter Gabriel- Live in London – 4
This was so different from any Peter Gabriel cd that I’ve heard that I thought I’d hate it.  I listened because I felt obligated being a big fan for so long.  I felt that he was out of ideas and just resting on his laurels.  Not the case at all.  The arrangements were so thoughtfully put together that the songs all felt new.  The orchestration was intense.  The only downside for me was the less than stellar female vocalists.  He’s had too many great singers to use the backup singers he used.  And, I still want a new original cd.
