Bite The Bullet – Rocky Road (2023)

”Rocky Road” is the third album in three years from the reunited Bite The Bullet, but it´s their fourth album counting the debut album in 1989. Bandleader/singer Mick Benton and original guitarist Malcolm Jones are joined by Graham Cowling-Drums, Ant King-Bass and Steve Hill-Keyboards. ”End of the line” from 2022 is a solid album of classic rock and AOR so I expected the same kind of sound on the new album ”Rocky Road” but I think it´s even more towards British rock and even boogie rock than AOR.

In the ’80s and ’90s, England’s dance music team Stock, Aitken & Waterman was often accused of being too slick for its own good, and favoring style over substance. But the producers/songwriters (also known for their work with Dead or Alive and Samantha Fox) should definitely be proud of their work on fellow Briton Rick Astley’s often captivating debut album, Whenever You Need Somebody. Continue reading “Rick Astley – Whenever You Need Somebody (1987)”

Lana Del Rey could have retired after the cinematic grandeur of her 2019 high-water mark Norman Fucking Rockwell!

The Vogues – Greatest Hits (1988)

The Vogues - Greatest Hits (1988)

A doo wop vocal group from the Pittsburgh area, the Vogues started well in the mid-’60s with “You’re the One,” an infectious bit of folk-rock with enough of a British Invasion feel to earn it heavy play on AM radio. “Five O’Clock World” was an even better single, a two-minute blast of timeless release, chronicling the feel of getting off work with the whole night still ahead, that one instant when everything is a possibility and the future has not yet arrived with its schedule of deadlines and pressures. Few pop songs have ever caught that moment with more élan or conviction. Continue reading “The Vogues – Greatest Hits (1988)”
