KID ROCK  "rock n roll jesus"  cd 2007

his seventh of twelve, i own seven
rapper turned rocker,
this is a rock album
dude has a powerful rock voice
a solid album which scores 2.4 from me which means
I LOVE THIS ALBUM

lead off single:  Kid Rock - All Summer Long [Official Music Video]

my favourite:





It's another night in hell
Another child won't live to tell
Can you imagine what it's like to starve to death
And as we sit free and well
Another soldier has to yell
Tell my wife and children I love them in his last breath

C'mon now amen, amen, amen

Habitual offenders, scumbag lawyers with agendas
I'll tell you sometimes people I don't know what's worse
Natural disasters or these wolves in sheep clothes pastors
Now damn it I'm scared to send my children to church
And how can we seek salvation when our nations race relations
Got me feeling guilty of being white
But faith in human nature, our creator and our savior, I'm no saint
But I believe in what is right

C'mon now amen, amen
I said amen, amen

Stop pointing fingers and take some blame,
Pull your future away from the flame
Open up your mind and start to live
Stop short changing your neighbors
Living off hand outs and favors, and maybe
Give a little bit more than you got to give

Simplify, testify, identify, rectify
And if I get high stop being so uptight
It's only human nature and I am not a stranger
So baby won't you stay with me tonight

When a calls away
to break the sound
I'm faden down, I need someone
Oh to be someone
They just sinken down, and holden back
I hold the dawn and run
They don't save a child
Oh, to save a child

It's a matter of salvation from them patience up above,
So don't give up so damn easy on the one you love, one you love

Somewhere you got a brother, sister, friend, grandmother, niece or nephew
Just dying to be with you
You know there's someone out there who unconditionally, religiously, loves you
So just hold on 'cause you know it's true
And if you can take the pain
And you can withstand anything, and one day
Stand hand in hand with the truth

I said amen, I said amen
I said amen, I said amen,

PETER CRISS  "cat 1"  cd  1994

from Brooklyn
original KISS drummer
fourth solo album of five, i own them all
supposedly has another on the way
never thought of this as very KISS-like but when i put it on in the car this morning Lynne said "oh its KISS"!!!!
eleven tracks, eight rockers, liking three
two ballads of which i like one and love one and a cover of "beth" with Ace on acoustic guitar which is okay
album manages to score 1.6  which means
I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM

favourite:

ESKIMO JOE  "a song is a city"  cd  2004

Aussie rock band
second album of six, i own two and a compilation
from here in Perth (Fremantle to be precise)
cover art is of the band standing outside the old Fremantle Woolstores - Wikipedia  
a solid rock band, melodic for the most part and a lot of their material could be deemed soft rock
theyre one of those bands that make an album or two then go off in their own directions for a while before returning again
they havent mad an album since since around 2013-ish so i guess we wont get any more releases..
album scores 2.1 from me which means
I LIKE THIS ALBUM

PAUL WELLER  "wake up the nation"  cd/vinyl  2010

from the UK
his tenth solo album of eighteen, i own seventeen
sixteen tracks, fourteen of which are under 3 minutes
album was written in the studio and recorded in a couple of takes for the most part
good to see Jam bassist Bruce Foxton turn up on one track and ELO's Bev Bevan on drums
a fairly decent album but my interest has waned over the last few years with Mr Weller
album still scores 2.1 which means
I LIKE THIS ALBUM

favourite has a Walker Brothers feel to it

[CRAZY-HORSE]

NEIL YOUNG & CRAZY HORSE "sleeps with angels"  cd  1994

from Canada
his thirty-first career album of fifty nine i own 52 or 53 i guess
upon reading lyrics it is a very reflective, sombre almost sad album
but apart from one song, the title track (which is a tribute to Kurt Cobain), Young refuses to elaborate further
musically, its heavy and grungy in places, its light and breezy in others.
either way, this stands up better than i thought it would after not playing it for a while
album scores 2.3 from me which means
I LIKE THIS ALBUM

title track and tribute to Mr Cobain

GASLIGHT ANTHEM  "american slang"  cd  2010

from New Jersey
their third of six, i own the first five
same stomping ground as The Boss
for the most part they have that same rough edged rock sound
so if youre a Bruce fan youll probably like these guys
album comes in a bit lower than last time but still scores 2.3 from me which means
I LIKE THIS ALBUM

title track:

[CRAZY-HORSE]

SUPERTRAMP  "breakfast in america" cd 1979

from UK
their sixth of eleven, i own four
that was a real treat this time round
album has really grown on me and i feel the urge to get out another one tomorrow
album scores 2.4 from me which means
I LOVE THIS ALBUM

lets go for this one:
