Review: Carnaby Street (Michael Des Barres The Band)

Carnaby Street (Michael Des Barres The Band)
(2012, Gonzo Multimedia)

Carnaby Street marks the long awaited return to the original one of the living legends of glam rock from the 60/70, Michael Des Barres. And since then what can be said is that this is a return in large, creating one of the most spectacular drives this year. The British musician is surrounded by elements of high-class technique which allows to create and run themes, mostly short yes, but where there is time to fit a myriad of delightful details of composition and execution of instruments. Stylistically this is a hard rocking blues from a great feeling and sensuality and a hard rock full of attitude and energy. You're My Pain Killer is a sensational opening that fits in first class but that soon after the title song speeds up to a dose of unbridled rock hard and throbbing! Southerners also touches appear here on Route 69 and My Baby Saved My Ass and least expected a joyful sounds and cool summer in a cross between a Beach Boys and some reggae rhythms, as in To Heartchae From Cloud 9. But the theme that emerges is by your feeling regarding Please Stay, a mix of blues and gospel ballad with truly great and create a chilling sense of spirituality. All this helps make a hard Carnaby Street truly desirable, not only by great melodies and great songs, but also by the diversity presented. A fantastic album, full of rhythm, groove and sensuality. And where there is no lack of those elements essential to a great rock record: the Hammond, piano Honky Tonk, attitude and provocation. Return amazing, Mr. Des Barres! Brutal!

...BECAUSE SOME OF US THINK THAT THIS STUFF IS IMPORTANT
What happens when you mix what is - arguably - the world's most interesting record company, with an anarchist manic-depressive rock music historian polymath, and a method of dissemination which means that a daily rock-music magazine can be almost instantaneous?

Most of this blog is related in some way to the music, books and films produced by Gonzo Multimedia, but the editor has a grasshopper mind and so also writes about all sorts of cultural issues which interest him, and which he hopes will interest you as well.
