JUDY DYBLE REVIEW

Judy Dyble Talking with Strangers Review by G. W. Hill At first I wasn’t going to put this into the progressive rock heading. The first track is more of a folk tune. The thing is, once it moves past that, the prog is obvious. The closest comparison is Renaissance and a lot of this sounds like that. Still, there are sections that make me think of other things. Wherever the influence lands, though, this is a potent album with a lot going for it.

Track by Track Review

Never Knowing Starting very much in a folk manner, this whole song is more or less like that. There are some little bits of sound over the top that hint at something more. This tune connects directly into the next one. Once it switches, it delivers on that promise.

Jazzbirds This comes straight out of the previous tune. There are bits that make me think of early King Crimson. Psychedelic elements emerge and Renaissance is another valid comparison.  There are some great flourishes of sound that re-enforce both the King Crimson and the Renaissance links.

C'est La Vie Here Dyble covers one of my favorite Emerson Lake and Palmer songs. This is so pretty and so powerful. It’s quite symphonic and quite true to the original. But, Dyble’s voice, along with some changes in the arrangement make it quite stunning and different in some ways. I love the bits of vocals that sort of float angelically over the top at times.

Talking With Strangers Piano based, this is a pretty tune. It’s a powerful balladic number. Read on... CURRENTLY AVAILABLE FROM GONZO Flow and Change CD - £9.99
