After few seconds of the opening track I just knew: this is it! Setting, creating, steppin it - you know, it's there. The music showing a specific personality, building a universe of its own. That fat minor sound, a bit southern rock, a bit semi-punk and a bit something third. There are just seven songs on this album. But what songs! - Everyone of them is unusual strong, with a catchy hit potential, but also with deepness and character. Seven quiete different songs. Some á la rockabilly, some more modern, here and there a touch of jazz. A broad palette of styles. But they fit perfect together. No matter how great the songs are seen seperately, together they are something more. This is an album in its thrue sense, that means - in my difinition - a collection of songs, which are more than just that,a context, building up some sort of connection leading from the first to the last note, with every detail as a piece in a puzzle and all together making the picture. Its all parts of one thing. The dynamic opening intro, moves on to be completed in the last songs last chord, a long ringin' out with lots of organ. Everything in between is a part of something, something more, something bigger, than what the songs are seperately. Everyone of them could have been a single. But this is much more than just seven a-sides. As I said: it's an album. A thrue all-fitting, no-compromising album.
