CD Reviews

This "Fire" is cool!
wkita | Ivoryton, Ct United States | 09/06/2001
(4 out of 5 stars)

"It would be all too easy to dismiss this Boston-based quintet as a "derivative" offshoot of the Rolling Stones (circa the "Let it Bleed" era) or as a kind of rootsy Television clone. Lead singer David Wildman does a great imitation of Mick Jagger on some songs and Tom Verlaine on others. (Toss in a bit of Bob Dylan to boot.) But these guys aren't merely clones. "Fire" has something to say and it says it in a style that borrows from the greats (Don't all bands do that?) and rearranges those elements in a way that is truly different. If you're a fan of what Gram Parsons called "Cosmic American Music" with a sharp edge (and an occasionally literary reference added to the mix to show your friends you didn't sleep through your college classes) you owe it to your ears - and your head - to buy this disc. And speaking as a Connecticut Yankee, if you're from New England you're letting your people down if you don't act now!!!!!"
