What Are You Listening To?

[CRAZY-HORSE]

BOB GELDOF "how to compose popular songs that will sell" 2011, cd.

believe it or not, Geldof used to be a singer....long before the Live-Aid, humanitarian,crossbearing Bob rose to the surface.
there's no venom, wrath or political messages here to send world leaders scurrying for their little holes, instead there's ten good tracks and one hidden track(God, how i hate hidden tracks!, surely if theyre good enough to appear on the album then they should get recognition on the sleeve and disc!).
the album appears to be written and sung by a man content to have achieved what he has and happy to be where he is now.
"mary says" sounds very much like CSN and possibly CSNY could have recorded.
"here's to you" has definate elements of George Harrison attached.
"blowfish" is a full on distorted vocal track with short sharp chords-a good rocker for a man of 59 years young.
the rest of the album is quite catchy and definately grows upon repeated listens.
on first listen, i agreed with the 'new release' rating of 1.8 that was given by Music Head, however, i am sure had he been able to listen to the album a few more times his rating would have increased to just beyond the 2.0 mark.
do yourself a favour and listen to this album if you have the chance, you wont be dissapointed!
