And We Are Back On the Wagon

May 2015

 

Cheap Trick – Good, solid straight ahead rock with a heavy nod to the Beatles. No qualms there. My only gripe are the fade outs. As talented songwriters they are they could at least write endings. 3.5 stars

Gerry Rafferty – No.  1 stars

Houndmouth – Doesn’t engross me like they probably should since I like the Felice Brothers and He’s My Brother She’s My Sister which I hear a lot of throughout the album. Would work better as an EP to me. 2.5 stars

Benjamin Booker – Like the raw and ragged sound but it seemed to all blend together sounding like one continuous song. Ben’s voice gets a little wearisome as well. I think he’ll put out  something big some day but this isn’t it.  2.0 stars

AC/DC – Disc didn’t play but it wouldn’t have mattered. The songs selected were spot on.
