As it stands at the minute, this is the last album Keel made and released back in 2010. Although, this is a Night Of The Vinyl Dead reissue from 2021.
Apart from bassist Geno Arce, it’s all OG Keel members here including Marc Ferrari and Bryan Jay with that twin guitar attack. Playing this now, it’s over 40 years since the debut Keel album and boy do I feel old.
So, is this just another rendition of Frontiers digging up bands from the rock n’ roll graveyard release or is it a bonafide full on Keel record? Well, I’m glad to say it’s the latter as this baby is chock full of Keel signature rock n’ roll anthems. It’s as though the clock stopped in ’85 and the past 40 years never happened.
Streets of Rock ‘N Roll, Hit The Ground Running, Push & Pull, No More Lonely Nights, The Devil May Care, Looking For A Good Time, Bothers In Blood, and my personal fave Come Hell Or High Water are all seriously great tracks.
Well done Keel for delivering the goods.
8.5/10 from The Grooveman.
