I guess you can call this a mini LA sleaze supergroup. Gilby Clarke on vocals and guitar, Todd Muscat on Bass (Brent’s brother), and Jason Nesmith lead guitar, (Monkees Mike Nesmith’s son). I think not long after this Gilby was picked for the GnR gig. So, this is their only release, up until now any way.
It sounds exactly like what you’d expect. That big sleaze simple rock n’ roll vibe with a huge hint of the Stones thrown in. In fact, in the opener Motorcycle Cowboy someone is channeling their inner Keef, as that rhythm guitar is so close. Brothers Eyes is also stealing from The Cult this time, as that strummed guitar and groove is really cool. My favourite track is Rockets. The production is really huge on this tune courtesy of Vic Maile. A very commercial sounding song that should have been released as a single, with a great hook and chorus. Honourable mention to My Addiction which mixes the sleaze and punk perfectly.
Not a bad album at all as I haven’t heard this for a few years.
7.5/10 from The Grooveman.
