A strange journey,
By
This review is from: No To The N.W.O. (Audio CD)
Listening to this unusual album, you may not understand at first the
kind of musical journey you are invited to. Is it folk, country or rock music ? Traditional protest songs for a political message ? Is it serious or humorous, literal or ironic ? New world or old Europe ? It is probably all of this and something else too. The strong and beautiful voice of L.A. Cody first strikes the listener as she develops her poetical and political claim in both acoustic and electric mode, expressing a wide range of feelings from despair to rebellion ("Programmed From The Start", "Mr Humanity"), from determination to anger ("AviDollars") from patience and benevolence to hope ("Healing Field"). Then you find surprising, mischievous songs, in the almost Georges Brassens style "My Post" by J.L. Truckr, full of a quiet energy, about how to deal with some of the organized horrors in our modern societies. Or the lonelier "Ballad of Ed Brown", simple voice and guitar. Or you'll feel like you're finding yourself in an old pub listening to "Life In Me Still". You may feel a bit as if you were sitting around a campfire in an American desert, except you would perceive the din of a city, the shades of uniforms and the attraction of a so-called progress closing around you. This journey takes you through Europe, Latin and proud (Awakening Of The Great Sage), Western and rebellious (Life In Me Still), with Eastern and Gipsies influences (My Post), to the North America of Pilgrims and of simple people. It also takes you through time, from the awareness of the real madness of past wars and their aftermaths, to the perception of new forms of enlistment of the population. When sophisticated means of communication drown your consciousness, when you are lead to believe that cameras in the street paid by your taxes make your life better, remembering the past, listening to simple melodies and practising quirky humour may be of use...
4.0 out of 5 stars
Awsome,
By Indigo (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: No To The N.W.O. (Audio CD)
Awsome, an eclectic musical ride of expressions of deep ponders of the human psyche. The female vocalist carries immense strength in her voice resembling that of Joni Mictchell. Track9 flamenco inspired, a favourite as is the appeal of the maverick male singer - highly recommended!
