Just
imagine that a guitarist of Jethro Tull a plate would do with the man
who succeeded him in that band, along with a bassist of The Rolling
Stones, a bassist of Argent, a guitarist of Whitesnake, a guitarist of
Steely Dan and a singer of Manfred Mann, that would be something! Oh,
look at that!
You
can to "Revived" to see and hear that the elderly gentlemen (Abraham
with his 71 years not even the oldest of the group) have had enormous
fun. On the bonus CD which is available in a limited edition, you see
the guys horsing around with the material and also the booklet
accompanying the album is jolly. The repertoire is really looking. Under
the heading "blues" I have seldom heard a more cheerful collection of
songs than this. In
I'm A Hog For You , the famous writing duo
Lieber & Stoller, sings Beverly Skeete, singer with Bill Wymann's
Rhythm Kings, excited that she is a pig, while Bill bass playing. In the
other songs the blues seeping out all the cracks and crevices, but the
atmosphere remains uncluttered and very relaxed, nothing any
trouble. It's summer and we're on the road again ', no sense moping.
Occasionally stores that relaxed setting in dullness, like What About Us? and all the other songs that sings Abraham himself. They are also often novelty songs, songs that were always meant all funny. But even a tearjerker like Goodnight Irene gets the downright elderly interpretation of Mick something laughable, despite the fine harmonica parties of Paul Jones. Fortunately, there is some counterbalance inDragonfly , a beautiful instrumental by Abraham and his son Alex. In
addition, Abraham, who after two heart attacks and a stroke not so good
plays, collects some excellent guitarists, lighting the blue slick one
with the other.
Gradually
however the young readers are restless and I'm back in a hesitant
finger go up. "Uh, blues? '' Harmonica? '' Lieber & Stoller?"
Well,
friends, prog has to do with this record as much as Feyenoord with
successful football. Somewhere in your mind you know that there must
once have been a connection, but you can be with the best will in the
world no longer make. Mick Abrahams, which not for nothing longer than
BLoodwyn Pig has been in Jethro Tull, is' cozy blues "much more I can
also not make. He does that very meritorious, "Revived" is that
semi-funny and a bit too sluggish moments after, actually a wonderful
record. And half of the proceeds going to a fund for children with
cancer, so buy him especially. But remember: if Abraham in the book says
there also Mellotron on the album can be heard, then he's joking.Ha ha.
