Bye Bye Baby Blue
Save Me
A band that has never let me down before…switches gears hard and goes full on Motown, Blue eyed funk. Considering what was infecting England at the time, I imagine this was not all that surprising. At first it was kind of jarring and then I realized these guys are really good at whatever they put their minds to and this is no exception.
Feargal Sharkey’s voice takes getting used to and is really almost out of place in this idiom but, it’s that discordance that makes this album work.
it’s a hudgepodge of ideas, a band that is struggling to be relevant but just as often sounds bored by their own ideas.
