STREWTH!Album Review ROB TOGNONI Rob Tognoni    on MIG MUSIC (4/5*)https://getreadytorock.me.uk/blog/2024/06/album-revie...

STREWTH!
Album Review ROB TOGNONI Rob Tognoni on MIG MUSIC (4/5*)
https://getreadytorock.me.uk/blog/2024/06/album-review-rob-tognoni-rebel/
Seemingly always a “Rebel”, it’s curious that it’s taken Aussie rocker Rob Tognoni until something like his 27th album to embrace the outsider theme as an album title.

Ever since outgrowing the “latest big thing” label when signed to Provogue records, Tognoni has always been an independent restless spirit not given to any one style or trend.

That said he’s never too far removed from a hard driving rock-a-boogie approach in which a combination of ripping guitar work, snappy hooks and rich vocal phrasing have given him an enduring presence in the rock blues market

The European based ‘The Tasmanian Devil’ who once forged his career in the wilds of Queensland has lost none of his flinty Australian irreverence either as a musician or as a lyricist.

As a result Rebel rocks hard to inspire and surprise by turns, and extends an open invitation to the listener to take the rough with the smooth.

There’s plenty of scintillating guitar, with occasional bone dry humour, story telling narratives, and the occasional atmospheric instrumental like the AC/DC into The Kinks style riffs of ‘2050.’

The album opens with a straight to the vein rocker called ‘Rebel And A Gamble’. It’s anchored by his tight rhythm section of bassist Slawek Semeniuk and is topped by Tognoni’s intense guitar playing.

The shuffle time sculpted wah wah of ‘Eyes Wide Open is an early highlight, while ‘Primal Baby (Tribal)’ is a double tracked 2.55 min rocker, with a funky undertow and some visceral lyrics;

“I feel the fire in my veins, The power of the sun and rain, ah yeah, ah yeah
This is just the way it is; This homo sapien can’t live Without you Primeval Baby, Huh.”

The album features 2 covers which are given a Tognoni rereading. An initial Spartan approach to the traditional ‘Whisky In The Jar’ deletes Thin Lizzy’s instrumental opening and goes straight into the verse.

But Tognoni injects it with some fresh resolve while incorporating cool harmony guitar lines and a punchy solo on the outro.

He also denudes Bowie’s ‘Rebel Rebel’ of its signature opening riff, and settles instead for an exercise in cool dynamics.

He doesn’t hold back lyrically on two thematically related tacks, of which the uncompromising ‘Move Along’ is a prime example of his own rebel status on this album; “Respect is a workin’ thing, It comes it sometimes goes, That’s just the way of life, It ain’t fair, of course I know.”

He adds some kick ass crashing chords and a supple solo that bounces right out of the speakers like a featherweight’s opening shots in the ring.

The melodic ‘Assholes And Opinions’ is built on a fatter organ sound, and carries a similar message to ‘Move Along’, concluding that; “Tomorrow is another day.”

It builds imperiously with a climactic blistering harp wail and early Beatles style ‘sha la’s bv’s.

He even indulges himself on a double tracked caricature of an Aussie rap on ‘Here To Stay’, which raises a smile, even if the tune isn’t memorable.

In many ways ‘Rebel’ gives him the opportunity to amplify every aspect of his career so far. And though most of the songs are new they relate to many of his previous musical explorations.

‘Little Things’ for example, is one of a number highlights and could easily have come from his 1995 ‘Stones & Colours’ album.

It features an exquisite wah-wah intro on melodic love song which still marks him out as a strong singer song writer, when he’s not busy lampooning all around him.

He’s also a guitarist whose array of tone colours always support the song, as evidenced by the layered acoustic–into-electric intro on the album closer called ‘Life’.

The latter is a big sounding track which finds him he’s; “cruising down the highway of life”, as his crunchy solo gives way to a Hammond B3 break, and back into the groove.

Southern rock fans will surely lap up ‘Victim of Circumstance which though evoking Skynyd’s ‘Sweet Home Alabama’, morphs into his own template of sustained notes and an avalanche of energy, building to a raucous ending bathed in feedback and book ended by an extended crescendo.

And as if to highlight the diverse nature of a musical related journey over 17 generous 17 tracks, he evokes The Stones with a Keith Richards style riff driven opening to ‘A Mystery Man’, on which he double tracks his vocals and flies on the chorus.

Best of all is the uplifting feel of ’Orion’ which is a thing of taste and intricate poetic beauty, not the immediate thought that comes to mind on some of his other barn bursting material.

2 live tracks from the Netherlands find him dipping into his old back catalogue for ‘Lands of Cirrus’ on which his distorted tone evokes a Hendrix feel, while he mines a quiet-to-loud dynamic with guitar squalls on ‘Lil Melody.’

As the album title suggests, he never compromises for anyone, (except perhaps for a bottle of red).

His busy career has seen him evolve from being a highly original lyric driven blues rocker, into harder hitting rocker with a locker full of AC/DC riffs.

‘Rebel’ broadens his scope again with the kind of energetic spontaneity that sees him power through all 17 tracks with great purpose.

Heritage rock never sounded so beligerent. ****

A NEW KIND OF SOUL!
Album Review: Joanne Shaw Taylor (3/5*)
https://getreadytorock.me.uk/blog/2024/06/album-review-joanne-shaw-taylor-heavy-soul/
Joanne Shaw Taylor’s ‘Heavy Soul’ is a decent album with a handful of good songs, some fluid guitar playing and moments of intuitive band interplay, but the inclusion of 3 covers and the overall aim of fitting a radio friendly mould smothers her natural instincts.

You could argue ‘Heavy Soul’ is a relationship concept album, which would justify the inclusion of the covers.

The homogenous production values also serve to smooth out the rough edges to the point that deep in the album the gospel influenced ‘Devil In Me’ is rendered a curiously mixed back affair and lacks a cutting edge.

On the upside, there’s still plenty of quality music here, born of dexterous playing, subtle band interplay and plenty of chunky grooves which act as a launch pad for a variety of music.

The stumbling block is the misleading album title itself, which calls into question the definition of soul.

While there’s undoubtedly an undertow of musical intensity, rhythmic tone and a consistent pop sensibility, the album is hampered by a sense of emotional detachment.

‘Heavy Soul’ has a lot resting on it, both in terms of being the thematic cornerstone of the album and a musical counterweight to what’s gone before.

Happily it’s a worthy title track which gives the album extra impetus and a greater sense of urgency feeding into one of Joanne's fiercest guitar solos on the album.
The problem with this album is that it doesn’t breathe enough and let her fulfil the potential of her own material.
The choice of covers and a lack of emotional engagement hampers an apparent attempt to reposition her rock blues bluster in a contemporary soul market.

For example, while the acoustic wash of Joan Armatrading’s long distance love song ‘All The Way From America’ nicely fits the album’s reflective mode, it feels too much like a blatant commercial cash-in on the current popularity of soul.

No one seriously expects a talented artist like Shaw Taylor to be stuck in aspic in the rock-blues niche which originally helped her break out of the UK club cicuit to international attention.

But she doesn’t quite have the voice, or more generally speaking, the clarity of diction to convincingly tackle ballads like Van Morrison’s ‘Someone Like You’ which borders on the ponderous.

You could argue the inclusion of the funky Gamble and Huff ‘60’s penned ‘Drowning In The Sea Of Love’ offers a different perspective on the album’s overarching relationship theme, but it feels forced.

Put simply, she’s at her best on her own material, as evidenced by the propulsive groove of the opening track ‘Sweet Little Lies’.

An intricately threaded vocal and repeated guitar figure leads to a catchy hook and a resolving taut, sinewy guitar solo which evokes the lyrical angst.

‘Black Magic’ is equally satisfying, casting a relationship in a much more positive light as part of a boogie shuffle with the emphasis on the words and groove.

It also provides the moment when the album finally seems to spark, albeit it’s compromised by an all too soon finish.

She hovers over the lascivious ‘Wild Love’ with soulful snappy phrasing, while the band locks into a funky groove driven by Anton Fig’s tic-toc percussion; Alison Prestwood’s lilting bass and some layered keys, which gives it an 80’s feel.

‘Heavy Soul’ is shaped by two separate producers Kevin Shirley and Bob Clearmountain who both adhere to the primacy of a compressed sound in search of flow and balance.

And somewhere in the middle of it all is the significant talent of JST who every now and then sparkles when give the opportunity.

There’s also a constant tension between the soul and pop elements, as on the MOR feel of the Carmen Vandenberg co-write ‘A Good Goodbye’.

A self empowerment song, it incorporates a faux gospel fuelled groove on another radio friendly track.

JST rounds things off with the uplifting Beth Neilson Chapman co-write ‘Change of ‘Heart’, a guitar driven pop song which finally nails what the album has been aiming for all along. ***

7 YEAR ITCH!Review: Black Country Communion 'V' on Provogue Records  4/5*https://getreadytorock.me.uk/blog/2024/06/album...

7 YEAR ITCH!
Review: Black Country Communion 'V' on Provogue Records 4/5*
https://getreadytorock.me.uk/blog/2024/06/album-review-black-country-communion-v/
After a 7 year hiatus, the Anglo-American super group Black Country Communion return with an album that rocks hard.

There’s plenty of intensity, spirit and a handful of decent tunes with plenty of early 70’s Classic Rock riffs.

Drummer Jason Bonham has reportedly said the band had no concrete ideas when they came together again, but worked organically. And ‘V’ is very that kind of album, being a riff and groove driven project which works hard to capture the collective spark within dreamy, eclectic lyrical landscapes.

There’s a satisfying retro feel to the project as a whole, as if they’re subliminally tapping into their Zeppelin and Purple antecedents, giving Joe Bonamassa all the room he needs to colour the band’s canvas with a tapestry of riffs and tones.

Everything is glued together by Glenn Hughes impassioned vocals and snaking bass lines, Derek Sherinian’s layered keys and earthy B3, and Jason Bonham’s bombastic bluster.

In many ways ‘V’ is a restatement of the band’s ability to update the early 70’s rock template into a contemporary cross-generational mould.

They achieve that via Zeppelin, Purple and even Angus Young riffs, leaving enough room to incorporate Hughes’s funky feel and his ability to find emotional substance in even the hammiest lines.

At their best Black Country Communion lock into grooves and work their way towards catchy uplifting hooks as on the second single ‘Enlighten’, on which a combination of the flinty riffs and Hughes’s startling vocal searches for a sense of grandeur.

The lead single ‘Stay Free’ fuses Steve Wonder with Zeppelin over crashing chords and a rich vocal chorus complete with a gospel style wail.

Bonamassa’s husky toned solo, unexpectedly veers into a spacey Steve Hillage territory, while Hughes’s loping bass runs and Bonham’s crunch give the track a stomping feel.

‘Red Sun’ recovers from a lumbering opening riff and an all too familiar lyrical opening (“On my way to Avalon”). to being an expansive track. A stonking Zeppelin style riff and an animated Hughes vocal eventually settles on a repeated chanted hook.

It’s the perfect example of Hughes’s ability to weave elusive poetic lyrics into a heavy arrangement, giving the music an ethereal feel, as on: “Drawn to the skyline, Into the maze, Lost in the harmony,” and “I see the bluebird fall, Inside a dream, Ghost in the karma, Last stargaze, Beside the haunted sea.”

‘Restless’ is another highlight. The bluesy feel allows us to catch our breath, as Hughes draws us into a sultry groove with an intuitive intro vocal.

His extended phrasing is an exercise in subtle dynamics and the power of suggestion.

He further revels in extending a note over some perfect band accompaniment to create the perfect moment for Bonamassa to deliver another significant burst of notes.

‘Restless’ provides Hughes best vocal performance on the album and it could even have been the title track. It nails the vibe, mood and feel of the set, but perhaps it’s too bluesy to occupy that role.

The AC/DC influenced ‘Letting Go’ is a good example of the way Hughes’s languid vocal sweep and Bonamassa’s tension breaking solo evokes the title of the song, while ‘Skyway’ is an organ-led intro to some Purple riffery with overly familiar ethereal lyrics and another catchy chorus.

From the loose count-in of ‘You’re Not Alone’ onwards, the riffs seem to get heavier as the band works hard to bring fresh impetus, complete with a Sherinian combination of B3 stabs and a melodic sweep.

‘Love & Faith’ is framed by a Kevin Shirley ‘kitchen sink and all’ approach. Topped and tailed by a Joe Cocker ‘With A Little Help From My Friends’ style hymnal organ part, it’s also notable a Hughes/Bonamassa duet which features probably one Zeppelin style riff too many.

A combination of Hughes rumbling bass and Bonham’s high-energy drive powers the band into ‘Too Far Gone,’ notable for a fleeting Sherinian B3 flourish.

Hughes clearly enjoys himself, as evidenced by his 3.31 minute exclamatory whoop which leads him to an exuberant extended note outro.

The closing funky ‘The Open Road’, illustrates his ability to inhabit a song, even when sudden tempo change ushers in a Bonamassa, Paul Kossoff style solo.

It’s a curiously mixed back track which gives the album a considered rather than fever pitch finish.

No matter, ‘V’ is a solid reminder of a great band that remains a definitive conduit between classic rock’s past and present. ****

"One of the best songs I've heard this year."
Huge thanks to radio giant Michael L DeAngelis Woody Radio (USA) for his supportive comments about VOODOO RAMBLE single with Boris Zamba Pete Feenstra
produced by
I have this song in tomorrow's show. I try to be cautious about making comparisons, but I have to say what I think about this song. IF YOU ARE A FAN of Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, you need to listen to this one. Don't get me wrong...it CHANNELS the ATTITUDE of some of the tougher Petty tracks, but it's not derivative in the least.
It'll just make you feel like an old friend came back for a few to sing a new one for you.
One of THE BEST SONGS I've heard this year, and if you want a handle on the scope of this band, I have a second Voodoo Ramble track right behind it on the show that sounds nothing like this one...it's a sublime, extended blues track.

VOODOO RAMBLE
MIDNIGHT RIDE
Voodoo Ramble is a Croatian blues rock band founded in 2010 by Boris Duginovački aka Boris Zamba. The group have released four previous albums of blues based rock music. Zamba, a singer, songwriter, and guitarist first gained attention in the late Eighties as a member of Eldorado, a Croatian band from the city of Karlovac that successfully melded the genres of world, folk, country, and rock music.
The first single from the upcoming Voodoo Ramble album was titled “I'm A Bluesman Baby,” and was released a few weeks ago. It teamed Boris Zamba with veteran bluesman Mick Pini, and it was received by music lovers around the globe with rare overwhelming enthusiasm.
This time it's a musical collaboration with guitarist Muddy Manninen, and it's another mighty fine effort. Jyrki Manninen aka Muddy thanks to his blues guitar leanings, emerged on the music scene gaining worldwide recognition as a member of British twin-guitar led group Wishbone Ash from 2004 to 2017.
“It's been a while since the release of the album "Home again," and it's time for new material. The new single, MIDNIGHT RIDE, featuring the talented Muddy Maninnen: a prominent guitar man who played in Wishbone Ash, and recently Black Pearl. Muddy’s mixture of electric guitar, lap steel guitar and fill-ins gave the song a new dimension. Thank you so much Pete Feenstra for these unearthly lyrics. Many thanks to all who participated in making of this song and this video.” ~ Boris Zamba
Midnight Run
https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=JUD_0xo-R0s...
This second pre-album single release,
opens with atmospheric sounds of late night howlin’ at the midnight moon music, and the twin guitar harmony sound, made famous by Wishbone Ash, Allman Brothers, etc. makes an early profound appearance. Boris does a masterful job of darkly singing the Pete Feenstra penned lyrics. The palpable feeling of a dramatic, possibly dangerous, late night confrontation is vividly portrayed by the lyrics. Shapes and shadows pose threats at every step of the journey.
Skilled Croatian drummer / percussionist Damir Šomen again makes a strong presence and the interplay by the guitarists is simply delicious.
“I love songs, I’ve always been a lover of songs. No amount of flashy guitar playing can save the tune if it’s not a proper song.” ~ Muddy Manninen

"Feel the drag of the water, the pressure of the wind,
Really should be going, but I don’t want to leave,
Seagull’s on my tail, down by the shore,
Stumble up the steps, to knock on your door.
Shiver and shakin’ all night long,
Sailors’ fighting at the break of dawn,
Look to the moon, for a change in the tide,
We’ll make our escape, on a midnight ride.
Shapes and shadows, got us on the run,
Can’t give up, when we’re nearly done,
Sailed seven seas, from near to far,
Can’t run away, from who you are.
Shiver and shakin’ all night long,
Sailors’ fighting at the break of dawn,
Look to the moon, for a change in the tide,
We’ll make our escape, on a midnight ride.
Shiver and shakin’ all night long,
Sailors’ fighting at the break of dawn,
Look to the moon, for a change in the tide,
We’ll make our escape, on a midnight ride."
