THE HORRIBLE CROWES "elsie", cd, 2011.
i bought this one when it was released several months ago and only got round to giving it a thorough bit of airtime lately.
this is a side project between Gaslight Anthem's vocalsit Brian Fallon and his guitar technician Ian Perkins.
so it is not a Fallon solo outing, nor is it a remake of The Gaslight Anthem as the music is a lot lighter than their Jersey Rockers(new genre!),
a lot of the tracks have a distinct 'familliar' feel and sound to them(much like a lot of the Oasis back catalogue).
Fallon definately shows he has a placid quieter side to his vocals than the raspy, raw edged sound we are accustomed to with GA. but he does at times slip into familliar territory.
i guess this one could be said to be similar in feel to some of the mellow Springsteen moments.
surprisingly though, at times, he comes close to a U2 feel of their lighter moments, such as "with or without you" and "all i want is you" type material or INXS "never tear us apart" also.
overall, there is nothing bad on here with almost half the tracks already falling into the "love" range. pretty hard to single out one track as my favourite as tracks 4,5,7 & 8 are worthy contenders, but on this occasion ive picked #7.
only four albums into his career, and Fallon can hold his head high knowing he has done a bloody good job with all four!
