Music reviews of Late Music

Music Review: Late but Worth Waiting For
Rating: 5 Stars

I'm a big fan of classic rock but I hate calling it that, converting the spontaneity and exuberance of youth to museum pieces, which they ain't. What began with Elvis and the Beatles and the Stones and Kinks and Beach Boys and Buddy Holly is still with us in new and old bands, in albums that offer a new take on familiar territory.

I'm also a fan of the Smithereens. Hence, I had preordered Dennis Diken's LATE MUSIC from Amazon a while ago and was thrilled when it arrived last Thursday. Since then, it has played many times at my desk and in my car. My first observation is that this is the album from someone who loves music. (That might seem obvious, but take a look at the top ten. Any music lovers there? Any music there? No, just mostly product.)

And the music that these musicians love is not just any music, but music of the 1960's, pop bands, rock'n'roll, songs that might've been heard on 45 RPM singles. The songs on this album simultaneously sound original and yet comfortably familiar, calling you to sing along on the first listening. And this album's meticulous full production that doesn't suck the life out of the performances. Those 45's didn't sound this good.

In my car, I was caught right from the Tommy-like opening power chords that opened the first song, "The Sun's Gonna Shine in the Morning". With vocals that put me in mind of "I Can See for Miles" and the kick-ass base line that recall Entwistle's near-leads, I was ready and waiting to hear Dennis finally break loose on the drums, which he does.

The second track, "Standing in that Line", moves on to the Beach Boys sound, with layers of vocal harmony and instrumentation. But am I wrong to think that the name of the song suggests the Kinks?

The drums bust out completely on "Long Lonely Ride", something this rocker calls for. (It also features great fade out!)

The guitar line and verse of "I've Been Away" reminds me a little of the Smithereen's first EP "Beauty and Sadness", a nice touch, but this hint is as close as the album come to that Smithereens sound.

I simply loved "So Hard to Say Goodbye". Catchy melody and great harmonies with a middle 8 that teases me back to the hook. (Does my love of pure pop show? I'm still waiting for a CD re-release of Nick Lowe's "Labour of Lust". Is someone out there listening?!)

"Bad Merry Go Round" I love this sort of dark song, the sort of thing that might have been penned by Dave Davies or John Entwistle.

"Don't Let Me Sleep Too Long" reminded me of the Zombies. And so many of my favorite Kinks songs have these sorts of echoing chords, and vocal breaks ("Sleepless Nights", "So Tired") Another great song.

Although I might not have any brilliant observations (and perhaps a few stupid ones), LATE MUSIC is a great listen that I will share, and one that was worth the wait. But don't make me wait too long for the next one.
