Listened to the new John Illsley, VIII, in the hope he’d got himself a lead vocalist, but nope, sadly not. All the elements are there - except a decent vocal. I wonder why no-one’s told him he shouldn’t sing? A bit harsh, I know, but seriously – it’s a terrible shame! His lyrics are good and everything else is fine – all a bit frustrating. I couldn’t sit through the whole thing, or did I?? Lol! Would much prefer an instrumental album from him. The Dire Straits sound persists with Scot McKeon taking his cue from MK … the backing vocalist has a good voice, at least …
