The
Australian band, Datura 4, who released one of my fave records last year is
back with another killer record. Wow.. I just love the mix of heavy riffs, good
melodic stoney vocals and nice guitar breaks. A very classic 70s rock sound.
Fools Gold Rush starts the record off (see video below). Trolls has a heavy bass line
and I love the reverberating guitars. Uphill Climb features another catchy hard
rock riff and groove. The end of the track slows things down with a nice blues
solo. Mary Carroll Park picks up the pace and the lyrics talk about a Park,
perhaps a place they used to or do hang out but they don’t want to go back to??
Anyway, a slide driven R&R number a bit like Blackfoot! Hairy Mountain is a
slower heavy track with some nice melodies but then they really rock it out at
the end with a great wah solo. Great stuff.
Greedy World is a foot stomping feel good track about the rich of the
world. Confide in Me is a feel good rock and roll number. Too Much (or not
Enough) is simple feel good song but the chorus is repeated too many times
(more than 40 I guess) for me. Something to Hide once again features some slide
guitar. The end of the track reminds me a lot of Blues Jean Blues by ZZTOP.
Broken Path ends the CD with a fantastic acoustic guitar driven song. Datura4
have made another great record… I really
hope I can see them live one day. I wonder if the jam at all live???
