CHRIS REA ONE FINE DAY ALBUM REVIEW


Writing an album review is not always just fun, but Chris Rea's new release entitled 'One Fine Day' deserves a good ol' glass of tasteful whiskey in one hand and a sweet smelling classic style cigar in the other.

'One Fine Day' features a beautiful, simple, yet meaningful album cover painting. The release is a collection of previously unreleased and re-recorded songs produced by the man himself, the always unforgettable, great Chris Rea.

'Do You Still Dream' starts the record as a flowing river while giving pleasant calmness to the mind. As the song is building up it becomes the perfect ride of your daydream or night dreams with Chris Rea's gentle voice.

'Loving You' gives a slow funky vibe with that beautiful sound of the Stratocaster guitar. Great melody turns, meaningful lyrics done by the finest taste.





'One Fine Day' starts with a one of a kind guitar intro. Ohh man, the way those bendings go on the guitar is way beyond words. As the drum starts it gets a great vibe. An instant old time classic with genius lyrics.

'One Sweet and Tender Touch' flows like the river of true lovers walking in the sunset holding hands. Tears coming from the beautiful melodies. Chris Rea did an awesome.vocal job on this one too. Just the way only he knows how to do.

'If I Ever Break' shakes up the tempo of the record a bit. Good ol' funky mixed up with those sweet country guitar licks. Awesome job! ;)

The title 'Sierra Sierra' represents a perfect phrase of words describing the musical feeling of this total 10/10 song. Watch out for the lyrics! Ohh, and that guitar solo gives me chills.

'Members Only' gave such a good time for me!
I suggest you to just dance and rock out to that one! Instant Chris Rea rocking classic!

'Let Me The One' rushes into our a heads just like a good ol' time classic should do. Brilliant musical changes while the drums are running with the song. Perfect song with a guitar solo to remember forever!

Closing the record here comes 'One Night with You'. That song is fun for sure. Chris Rea's voice sounds hell of a brilliant way here too! Pure cool awesomeness overall.

To sum it up Chris Rea One Fine Day release is an awesome, meaningful, really great sounding record from one of the best all time professional musician walked this Earth. Music 9/10, lyrics 10/10 too, so better listen close and enjoy One Fine Day. :) Do not forget to buy it! Details below:

PUDDLE OF MUDD KICKS ASS AGAIN


Ten years feels like kinda way too much waiting, but the new Puddle Of Mudd album definitely worthed this ride.

The group led by frontman Wes Scantlin is one of the all-time favorites band of mine, so excuse me for being a little bit biased about the new album entitled 'Welcome To Galvania' in this detailed 10/10 review.

The album starts with a heavy guitar riff coming from straight outta hell. Have to admit that it reminded me a bit of the band called Kyuss' heaviness. As a long time fan first I was afraid about what to expect, but as the song was building up a whole new Puddle Of Mudd musical world emerged from that one heavy as hell riff. I was convienced and started being blown away by the new Puddle Of Mudd opening song 'You Don't Know'.

The second song 'Uh Oh' it's an easy going laugh my ass off (lol baby) Puddle Of Mudd hit song. Camera rolling on this one, the official video aired on YouTube [date]. Some could say it's a low budget video, but if you think modern and have a lil' bit of sense of humor you will deadly dig it. Yeah, this song is different from the others featured throughout the album, but hey, we are here to have some fun anyway! Here it comes:



As the album is progressing forward thousands of colors, shades appear in a perfect mix of lightness and darkness on the forever changing beautiful musical horizon of Puddle Of Mudd.

'Times Of Our Lives' brings chill out verse parts and brilliant changes leading to an absolute fulfillment.

'Sunshine' brings me a feeling that reminds me two words, dirt and diamonds at the very same time. Beautifully rusted rhythms and melodies.





The best thing about 'Welcome To Galvania' is that you can very easily lose yourself and slide deep into the whole album even from the very first listen. Happened to me anyway. :)

If I had to pick only one song (for whatever reason) I would put on 'Slide Away' which can be considered a real 2019 Puddle Of Mudd style ending of an album. The song is just simply can't let me go, simply genius.

So to sum it all up I have to say that after thirty years of listening every genre of music day by day I thought nothing can really surprise me anymore, but Puddle Of Mudd's 'Welcome To Galvania' did that. BIG F@CKIN' THANK YOU GUYS! 10/10! CHEERS!

Paul Gilbert Behold Electric Guitar Album Review

Paul Gilbert is back with an insanely sweet, cool, totally unique sounding musical fusion played and recorded at the highest level Behold Electric Guitar.


Making solo records since 1998, being world famous with the band called Mr. Big, having a musical project like Racer X, countless special guest appearance with highly anticipated artist both on records and live, doing guitar instructional videos with invaluable knowledge share, Paul Gilbert is one of the hardest working guys in the music industry, if not the most hard working. His talent is beyond words.
I do believe with his intangible musical talent, techniques and capabilities Paul Gilbert will never get bored surprising us real true music listeners with something totally new and fresh like he did with his latest solo record Behold Electric Guitar again.

On Behold Electric Guitar mixes musical genres and styles like Blues, Rock, Jazz, Fusion, Funky and beyond just as smooth as a bird flies. Mixing up and using the mentioned musical root styles results in a very unique Paul Gilbert feeling, mood with real sweet fulfillment for the true music listener throughout the album.





Overall I do believe he's a magician who happens to play the electric guitar like no other person on this planet. He knows all the tricks, mastered all the scales, can feel an inspiration from anything really that touches, motivates or moves him even just a little bit and turns that tiny, little things to sweet or hard, touching deep inside instrumental music. When touching the wah-wah guitar pedal, that's I guess my favorite special thing about this album, because the way as Paul Gilbert uses it gives another unbelievable new dimension and also layer of flowing with the music deeper, deeper and beyond any other kind of feeling.

Yes, as you already see I happen not to go song by song as usual in my reviews, rather just feel all the energy coming from the record and I feel like I totally united with the universe of music once again. Well, maybe not just the universe of music, but the all the stars, the sweet happiness and sadness throughout this beautiful universe of ours. Thank you Paul Gilbert for this release of greatness for the music listeners again in 2019! 10/10 ---- can we go any higher with points? :)
