Joey Molland, a former member of the band Badfinger, has been making his
own unique mark in the music industry with his solo record, Return to Memphis.
Molland
started his musical career back in the 1960s and has been going strong
ever since, evening touring with Yes and Peter Frampton. Molland has
been around the music world and it is reflected in his latest release.
His
style combines all of the classic rock 'n' roll elements of the 60s,
while at the same time not being afraid to embrace some more modern
instrumental arrangements. It helps to make this more classic rock music
feel fresh again.
The
album opens with "Walk Out In The Rain," which is a strong first song.
It sets the tone for the album and instantly introduces the strong vocal
style and backing tracks that can be heard on every track here.
Molland
has the ability to make the listener feel like they have gone back in
time to an era when instruments and simple vocals took center stage. His
music goes back to a time when music videos did not sell records and
being a true musician was about playing shows night after night and
forming a grassroots following.
Return to Memphis is
a return to more classic and formulaic rock 'n' roll but listeners can
enjoy the modern guitar influences that help to take this record from
the 1960s to 2014. Standout tracks on the album include "Walk Out In The
Rain," "Yesterday" and "All I Ever Dreamed."
