Reheating Puff Pastry Items

Roy Wood "Mustard" (1974)


Although the tone of the bearded cachondon own this album can bring the revival of Sha Na Na or Shakin 'Stevens (although the disc that was Dave Edmunds was not bad. Edmunds, of course, English musician with quite a few similarities with Wood) This album can beat the copper with the first three of Stray Cats. Is this an exercise in style, if less than their previous two albums, too, but so fun, where Wood pays tribute to heroes of the fifties and early sixties.

After "Enter" offers an instrumental, I guess, in tribute to Duane Eddy, and that aside from the title, "Eddy's Rock" , Wood uses the characteristic sound of that twang Duane. Have time to get a solo banjo at the end of the song. And speaking of topics of the most primitive rock & roll, the engine sounds that open "Brand new 88" fixed are some customized hot rod positioned at the starting line of a beach or some back alley. A fun rockabilly to Jerry Lee Lewis (vocals, piano). In "You got me runnin ' given by the" bird groups "Italian American side (Dion & The Belmonts and so on) turning in a funny voice choirs. The sound eco-packed dry and characteristic of the Sun appears in "I dun lotsa cryin over you" very similar to those parts of the country raigumbre first-Elvis as "I'm left, you're right, she's gone ". More pop" prehistoric "in " This is the story of my love ", although the production gets a binding spectoresque (such cascades of orchestral timpani, castanets and other ).

No, do not fool the ear, what you hear at the beginning of "Everyday I wonder" is plagiarized from "Runaway" Del Shannon , but further development is somewhat uneven at Shannon classic. For Furthermore, "Crazy jeans as noted from its title, is a rock in the style of Gene Vincent. That ability has to vampirizing Wood's vocal style who place (Vincent, Brian Wilson, Elvis, Robert Plant, John Fogerty, Ozzy Osbourne e! Even Tina Turner! and sure I leave a number). In "Come Back Karen" find the guitar sound so characteristic of the high school pop of the early sixties and Wood giving everything in the treble like a Frankie Avalon voice. And "We're gonna rock & roll tonight" despite its riff, is closer to the Grand Funk Railroad than Chuck Berry (the piano loop is not very fifties to say)

EXTRA MATERIAL: Singles from the time of Wizzard as "Rock'n'roll winter" that rock spectoresque showing how much he has stolen that Bruce Springsteen Roy. It's like any of song "Born to run " (1975)-with the exception of the head, but better and cheaper without much epic. Travel mesmerism" Dream of unwind "with its synth viejunos . The beautiful instrumental with an air police soundtracks and spy films of the sixties of "Nixture" . A tribute to Bill Haley in "Are you ready to rock" and other instrumental weirdo theirs in "Marathon Man" with a successful interplay between harpsichord and sitar.
