A CD Review |
|
 |
Sure, I always liked “Sultans of Swing”, but never classified
myself as a Dire Straits fan. That changed when I saw a band
called Crack’d Actor play in college, doing a cover of “Expresso
Love.” For some reason that song got me hooked, and “Alchemy” is
one of those CD’s that I love to crank-up because in my opinion,
it’s much better on the louder side.
This is a collection of a bunch of great Dire Straits’ songs,
from the mentioned “Expresso Love” to “Romeo and Juliet”, “Solid
Rock,” and after you’ve listened to the CD’s a couple of times,
who doesn’t yell with Mark Knopfler, “Thank yououou” before a
great version of “Sultans of Swing.”
Dire Straits always did a great job of mixing fantastic guitar
with great keyboard nuances, and Alchemy is a great live
collection showing the multiple talents of one of the great bands.
It’s a 95% on the Entertainment Ave! listenability scale. It’s
better loud – go ahead, bother the neighbors.
That’s it for this quick review. I’m The Dude on the Right!!
