Lyin’ Girl

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 super with this other magnificent creation of his.

With Too Much Guitar, you say to yourself, “okay, he made the masterpiece album with his Reigning Sound,” and then this damn bastard goes and does what?! He lets a whole five years go by and drops a wonderful album, a “moody & melancholic” - his words - side of the Oblivians sound. You can't define it... it takes you back to adolescence with sounds filled with sixties vibes, R&B, soul but also imbued with that traditional American sound...
And with that bastard, flirtatious voice… despite the 17 octaves of the “great singer,” whom I couldn’t care less about... it breathes life into this splendid bastard...

AlbumONE… if you haven't figured it out yet… But the beauty is that this character puts together bits of Beatles, Van Morrison, Arthur Lee, Graham Parker, and even Bob Dylan to create an album like this… after having been one of the wildest iconoclasts of “Classic” Rock… you’d say he has no class, talent, nobility?! Naaaaaaaaaaa… and even WAITS… come on now...

Next EP…
