Going to see them in November and can't wait. Last time I saw them live, they were awesome.
Super! I didn' realise they had a new one out, so will be giving that a few listens now.
Been listening to a lot of Gary Clark Jr,.
(sorry about the video, good song though!)
"She really knows how to wail"
Saw Fara (Four Orkney Lasses - 3 fiddles plus one on piano) last Saturday, who were really enjoyable.
They were signing pre-release copies of their debut album, so I came home with a copy.
It's somewhat underwhelming, actually.
I do love them. They're one of my favourite bands. But this seems a bit lacklustre. There's a handful of really great songs but overall, I think it could be better. They're definitely trying to be too radio friendly in some respects.
What they got right, was very right and very enjoyable.
Where they failed, they really failed.
MK's writing remains exceptional to this day - his training as a journalist seems to have served his lyric writing well. I agree that musically he's drifted away from Dire Straits - but he seems capable of turning his hand to anything he chooses.
I've said this before - it's almost as if his success has eclipsed his talent - he became 'uncool' due to ubiquity - which is probably the least fair of any reason....
Very good. Hes only a teenager but hes a great guitarist and has a good voice. Its produced by Warren Haynes, who has a guest appearance, as does Derek Trucks. The band has a r&b type rhythm section (think the Bar Kays / Motown) combined with some Allmanish guitar parts. Some songs are stronger than others but its a really impressive debut. Recommended.
Playing Shoreditch Blues on the 26th of October.
Spotify recommended stuff throws me another band to dig into
