reigning sound - everything i do is wrong
Besides Mick Collins, another devil-witch beautiful bastard of the genre is Greg - Oblivians - Cartwright. Legendary with the Oblivians, immense with the Compulsive Gamblers, and exceptional with this his other magnificent creature.
With Too Much Guitar you say to yourself, "okay, he made the masterpiece album with his Reigning Sound," but what does this cursed bastard do?! He lets five years go by and hits you with a wonderful album, a “moody & melancholic” side - his words - 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 steeped in that American traditional sound...
And with that bastard voice, teasing… in spite of the 17 octaves of the “great singer” that I couldn't care less about... that animates this splendid bastard…
AlbumONE… if you haven't figured it out yet… But the beauty is that this guy who makes an album like this, putting together bitols, van morrison, arthur lee, graham parker, and even bob dylan... after having been one of the wildest iconoclasts of "Classic" Rock... you say he has no class, talent, nobility?! Naaaaaaaaaaa… and even WAITS… come on now…
Next EP…
