The Dead Daisies 2020 - A Whole New Level

The Dead Daisies 2020 - A Whole New Level

(about 2 min. read)

After four insanely creative and Rock 'N Roll fueled years between 2015 and 2019 The Dead Daisies happened to go through a deep change. There is no doubt that everyone who likes Classic Rock or Hard Rock got into touch with their music in the past years and let me tell you that the live shows they delivered throughout the years were more than incredible.

Delivering Classic Hard Rock with an epic modern sound and feel they kept the old musical tradition, but on the top of those roots they built up something so tight, hard, heavy, melodic and meaningful both lyrically and musically that only few exceptional musicians could ever done.

Between those years (2015-2019) they enjoyed the three piece creative force of John Corabi as lead vocalist, Doug Aldrich as lead guitar player and Marco Mendoza as bass player and handling the tasks of backing vocals. This stable force gave the members of the band a solid ground for constant development and going towards the heavier stuffs record by record.

In 2019 big changes happened. John Corabi and Marco Mendoza is no longer in the band's line-up. The news came as a hug surprise that is for sure, but when the world found out that Glenn Hughes joined the band on lead vocals and bass I guess the shock was even bigger in like a very positive way.

Since then the new line-up released two insanely great fresh official music videos, a lyrics video and they had a great work with what they named as Lockdown Sessions. Below you find all the videos being so important right now for The Dead Daisies and definitely do not forget about pre-ordering their brand new record entitled Holy Ground, that is due to be released on January 22 2021.

TADDY PORTER - MUSIC OF EXCELLENCE

On three records with exactly 35 studio recorded songs between the years of 2010 and 2017, plus an EP titled Monocle at the beginning of the Taddy Porter story back in 2007.

Actually in 2020 THE TADDY PORTER BAND will celebrate the 10th anniversary of their debut album titled Taddy Porter which record has the most awesome cover you ever will see. Let's take a close look at it then get cold chills from their brilliantly played Rock 'N Roller MUSIC of Taddy Porter!

So, what really could be said about a debut album which turns out to be AllPopRock.com's favorite first time release from any bands on Earth. The cover tells about artistic veins, the songs just kick into our brains instantly one after another. If you ever felt Rock 'N Roll in your soul then you should give this album an close listen. I tell you one thing my friend, you will never ever be disappointed with the Taddy Porter Discography. Their music comes deeply from their souls, they kick the sh#&!t out of those old tunes which they recraft and make their very own as only just the best masters are able to do so.

Taddy Porter make their own style by combining such great legends as Led Zeppelin, Grand Funk Railroad, John Lennon, The Beatles, The Who, The Kinks and many more leading to an innovative yet very respectful take a look back to where Rock 'N Roll was in 2013. Sweet Purple Haze and beautifully composed melodies leading to heartbreaking ballads can describe the second half of the album with the ultimate ending track titled You Can Count On Me, and that's for sure, you can count on Taddy Porter when it comes to being totally Rock 'N Roll.

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:

AIRBOURNE BONESHAKER ALBUM REVIEW

Here comes the right time to bang your head since the new AIRBOURNE album entitled 'BONESHAKER' brings back the feeling of the BON SCOTT era of one the greatest rock bands ever yeeeahhh, that's AC/DC '70s era! ;)

Thank God, no matter what I'm going to write down here, headbangers around the world will surely bang their heads to the kick-ass new AIRBOURNE album entitled 'BONESHAKER'. Don't get me wrong I love these hard kickin' sweet old sounding drums & riffs which plays mostly between middle and a bit of a fast tempo throughout the record. It's a record with a different kinda vibe than Black Dog Barking released in 2013 or Breakin' Outta Hell released in 2016. OK, you can't always do the same, you grow, evolve and think different with time, that's right!

The truth is that the whole album has a very special pure 70's AC/DC feeling with AIRBOURNE madness. To be more precise I guess the guys gathered as many sweet sounding old amps like Marshall Plexi as they just could. Turned the gain knob just to the right amount for the songs and kickin' it like Rock 'N Roll once was shakin' up the whole world and hopefully will do it again in 2019 too!

I do advise you to do not listen to any other format than Vinyl or the CD itself. Simply the situation is that I as somebody in love with the sweet sound of the old amps like Marshall Plexi really hears the difference between the different formats like vinly, cd or mp3 and the latter simply just does not give back to feeling of those sweet old amps like the Marshall Plexi, in fact the difference is heaven and hell between the CD and the MP3 format. If choosing digital anyway you can head to HDTRACKS.com and get AIRBOURNE 'Boneshaker' in HQ high quality FLAC format. Be sure to check out your device regarding kHz and bit parameters.

To sum it up AIRBOURNE BONESHAKER is a  9/10 album for me with the song entitled 'Switchblade Angel' as a favorite if I could only pick one song. I personally miss a little bit of more AIRBOUNE uniqueness, but hey, it's only Rock 'N Roll anyway, so let's listen and bang our head on the AIRBOURNE TOUR 2019/2020!
