CD Reviews
Gene Vincent's Swan Song
Scott A. Z. Heinekamp | Aurora NY | 11/18/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)
"This CD is really two albums put together. I knew the first one ("Gene Vincent") and loved it, and I'm no big fan of rockabilly. The second album (the title escapes me) is the other half of these Kama Sutra sessions from 1971 or so, well past Gene's fame. He sounds older, calmer, wiser. It features Doug Sahm's band, and they play the hell out of every tune, covers and originals. Sweet, delicate ("Geese"), masterfully sung, ferocious ("Slow Times Comin'"), this has the sound of a bunch of old friends playing music with love and passion. I can't recommend this music highly enough. Not exactly country, not really rock and roll, a little bit swampy, music that sounds like the band only wants to play music, and get the record execs out the room."
