Broken Things
Besides Mick Collins, another beautiful bastard Devil-Wizard of the genre is Greg - Oblivians - Cartwright. Legendary with the Oblivians, immense with the Compulsive Gamblers, and superb with this other magnificent creature of his.
With Too Much Guitar you tell yourself “okay, he made the masterpiece album with his Reigning Sound,” and instead, what does this cursed bastard do?! He makes you wait a long five years and then throws a wonderful album at you, a “moody & melancholic” - his words - side of the Oblivians sound. You can't define it... it takes you back to your adolescence with sounds full of sixties moods, R&B, soul but also infused with that traditional American sound…
And with that bastard voice, winking… in spite of the 17 octaves of the “great singer” of whom I couldn’t care less… that animates this splendid bastard…
Stunning… it seems even Van The Man has bowed down…
