It’s a bit strange, reviewing this album for Concrete Web, since this is definitely not your average rock album, on the contrary, this album has more in common with folk music than with rock.
However I’ve always had a fondness for banjo music, since hearing the ‘Dueling Banjo’s’ song in the 1972 movie Deliverance. I know this might sound strange for someone who’s been into rock music for over 30 years, but doesn’t everyone have some weakness ?
So even if you cannot call this rock music, while listening to this album I get a great smile on my face. The reason for this is that these songs bring me some ‘joie de vivre’ they call it in French or in English ‘Lust for Lif’, which does not sound as good as the French version.
So, despite not being a rock album, these four Brits have deserved a very good score.
