Italian guitarist Dario Mollo returns with his Voodoo Hill project on October 16. Again in tow is superstar vocalist Glenn Hughes.
What do they have lined up for the new album – which I might say is a beautifully produced, crisp sounding recording:
Track By Track:
01. All That Remains is a nice, straight forward rocker with a hard edged guitar tone and some understated vocals from Glenn. I love it when he sings this way – straight ahead rock with a commercial classic rock bent. Restrained but memorable chorus.
02. The Well is a slower, more groove driven rocker that is classic Glenn Hughes vocally.
03. Rattle Shake Bone is a bluesy hard rocker with a little more shredding and some extended higher range vocals from Glenn.
04. Underneath And Down Below is a twisting, moody 6 minute track with an intensity not seen yet on the album.
05. Waterfall is a great soulful classic Glenn Hughes/classic rock ballad that turns heavier and employs a little 70s Led Zep for good measure.
06. Karma Go is a grooving mid-tempo rocker with some vocal menace from Hughes.
07. Evil Thing is a mid-tempo rock n roller with a commercial chorus and a straight forward appealing vocal.
08. Eldorado is a faster moving track with a crunchy riff and a very commercial and memorable chorus.
09. White Feather is a moody, twisting track that takes a few turns and a few spins to get to know. Cool track that’s a little different to mix up the album.
10. Sunflower is a harder hitting track with some tasty guitar tricks and another nod to 70s classic rock.
11. Last Door is a longer, catchy, expertly sung, mid-paced rocker with some more nice crisp guitar work.
Lots to absorb here and a beautiful sound. Full review shortly…
