| 4.0 excellent | Bedex | April 28th 20 |
This was surprisingly good, but the latter third let me down quite badly. I hardly know the first thing about 50's music so bear with me. His young voice is quite refreshing I have to say, and makes balladey songs like 1 actually enjoyable for me. Quite obviously this is more a compilation of tracks than a properly constructed album but oh well. 2 is catchy and fun rock'n'roll, 3 is an ok blues song, 4 is again fun and upbeat - the kind of music you hear in roadtrip scenes in American movies -, but the real surprise here comes on 5. A jam that I could only describe as a sad folk ballad? Super cool, some of the guitars sound like they could be from a 90's emo song or something. 6 is more US roadtrip music, fun but not super memorable. It all goes downhill from the quite boring soul 7 and onward. 8 is also boring in ballad style this time. 9 and 10 are instrumental, and I do find it a good idea and a surprising album construction feature to offer a break from his vocals. Both tracks are kinda nice, but sadly the closer is boring again and the only track where his voice did not work for me. Still a surprisingly nice album that charmed me more than I expected it to. 5 alone bumps it a point to a (what a sad story this guy had man) 3.8
