Comin' Right At Ya/Texas Gold - Asleep At The Wheel

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

.... It is clearly easier to get into Gold Against the Soul than the others, just as above it does not have the complicated lyrics and depressant feel. It could be criticised as too commercial and against what they as a band are singing out about. This has a much more mainstream rock sound to it, although still has some top quality lyrics and lovely moments. The guitars are excellent, especially on some tracks and they can actually sing a bit. There are only 10 tracks on this album, a change from their debuts massive 18, but more than make up in quality than quantity. 1.

In any musical genre!) Willie Dixon, John Lee Hooker, Jimmy Rogers, Koko Taylor (who has the other sexiest female voices ever. In any musical genre!) Washboard Sam and Lowell Fulson. The CD begins with Howlin' Wolf's Red Rooster. This is laid back blues, filled with everything... Read review

Advantages: You don't want to skip any tracks. A hypnotic, cleverly written CD, half of the songs exceed 5mins but it anything but hard to listen to.
Disadvantages: it has a m..m..m..m..m..m..m..m..m..m...stammer in the middle..(well mine does because it got scrached...) other than that....disadvantage??? hmmm nope...

...sacrificing the unexpected turns any record should have. The following CD "Acast of thousands" is equally as good.... but thats another review alltogether... Asleep in the back can be purchased from: Blah - £7.99 Amazon - £7.99 or used from £4.31 Ebay (current max price) £4.99 I recomend you buy! Brilliant Albums! Enjoy!... Read review
