Whatever I Want
….but with some of the technology of the era. It’s a keyboard tinged deal where the ivory tickler trades fours with the lead guitarist.
This is what a pretty good pub band sounds like in the 70s/80s. “French Kisses” is the kind of song that makes a crawler say, “You guys should have a record deal!”
To which the response is, “We do! We just put out an album! You can buy it at the record shoppe!”
And you don’t cuz they don’t really amount to much. “Do You Want My Love”, “Sweet Loving Woman”…these are perfectly fine songs for a band that plays at 2pm at the rock festival.
(Listening to “Midnight Love” this lead singer from Greta Van Fleet sounds an awful lot like singer Maggie Bell. And now I wanna fire up a GVF rekkid.)
Good on them to keep the power ballad at the end of the album so you know when to turn it off and move on to the next one.
