CD Reviews

Surprisingly good !

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Just got a copy of this in the post today - and it`s rather good! It`s not the muzak-fest I was expecting ( and might have enjoyed!) - it`s a country record , really , with a chap named Patrik Tanner doing a confident , T-Bone Burnett type vocal over some nifty steel guitar , some cracking guitar and - maybe synthesised - vibes and harmonica. The song selection is not as stated elsewhere.It`s the following 1. Watching The Detectives
2. Different Finger
3. Uncomplicated 4.Alison
5.5ive Gears In Reverse
6.Red shoes
7.Peace In Our Time
8.Hurry Down Doomsday
9.Mystery Dance
10.Everyday I Write The Book Peace.... sounds great , with a neat guitar coda far preferable to the awful keyboard affect that finishes Elvis`studio recording. Doomsday.. is funny in that Tanner`s vocals are echoed for the same lines as Elvis`s take. Everyday... is clearly modeled on Elvis`country version ( Tanner clearly is a fan - the vocals do not sound some session guy who`s only hearing them for the first time) , with tasty vibes and harmonica.
Different Finger always was a country song and sounds great here.
All in all a refreshing take on some old favourites."
