Atomic Rooster - Nice & Greasy (Hard Rock, Psychedelic Rock)

Atomic Rooster - Nice & Greasy

Kuvankaltainen uudenveroinen vinyyli. Katso kuvat.

Nice 'n' Greasy completes Atomic Rooster's transition from heavy progressive rock band into a fairly straightforward blues/hard rock outfit. With the emotive Chris Farlowe still on vocals, it still has a bit of the "prog soul" feel that characterized its predecessor Made in England, but on this record the virtuosic keyboard of Vincent Crane plays an even smaller role. In its place is generic electric guitar that's alternately bluesy and funky- a nice compliment to Farlowe's vocal stylings but a decision that almost entirely obscures the band's prog roots. As such, Nice 'n' Greasy offers little for the diehard prog fan. Fans of bluesy hard rock should fare far slightly better.

Finding themselves further down the road of classic blues and r&b than ever before, Vincent & co. lay down a pretty tasty slab of funk & groove, filtered back through their prog and hard rock pedigree. Honestly, Vincent Crane and Ric Parnell are as locked in and tight a rhythm section as you could hope for, Chris Farlowe's unique vocals up the soul quotient, even Johnny Mandala (aka Brand X's John Goodsall) manages to contribute some nice layers of electric funk rock riffing and soloing. And hey, it's still Atomic Rooster!
