Re: Road in the charts

We still have Sunrise Records, who has a mediocre presence, but their ability to get new releases is pretty limited. Sunrise Records usually puts out four or five copies of a new album, but I went to buy Road and it was the only copy in the store. I commented to the clerk that I got the last one bu...

Re: "Road" - Reviews

Over the years, I found this works best with new albums. First listen, I put it on in the background while attending to something else. Second listen, I sit down and give it full attention. Road is good. No better or no worse than Paranormal or Detroit Stories. It's... good. The last three albums (P...

Re: Songs You Would Like to Hear Remade?

Ubangi Stomp: I don't hate Alice's version but it doesn't stack up to the Warren Smith original. What hurts it, imo, is that it's missing a strong rockabilly guitar sound. If Carl Perkins or James Burton had been a guest guitarist on this track it would have been very good. One version was bad enou...

All great. But I have to say my favourite album closer is 'My God'. An emotional and sublime end to what is for me, quite a weak record. Or should I say 'patchy' record.
That's my pick too. Love L&W from beginning to end.

Re: 2022 hopes and dreams

I refuse to be negative about this release. I was pulled down on W2MN, Paranormal, Detroit Stories and the last HV album because I got sucked into the negative vibe on these pages. It’s not happening this time. Agreed. We are lucky that Alice is still touring & putting out new albums in his mid-70s...

Re: Album opinion change

I've only changed my mind on Dragontown which with age ive come to like less, it just does not age well unlike BP. Minus d****r, the album is not bad. I can't even say it. :x I do like how the song Dragontown lyrically ties back to the BP album. Fair enough. I think of the Twins movie whenever I ha...
