So, what’s this all about then? This is the fourth instalment of a series of charitable releases in tribute to the late great Eric Carr of Kiss. Most of the musicians taking part are Swedish and the production is top drawer.
The EP is all covers of Kiss released tunes. In fact, the first track Eyes Of Love has Eric himself on vocals. Killer tune with a great swing to the groove and the hook and chorus are infectious. Love Her All I Can is next up, a Paul Stanley tune and it sounds killer. Can You Feel It rolls on in and it’s a tune written by Eric and Bruce Kulick that has Wig Wam’s Age Stan Nilsen on vocals. Another Ace tune gets an airing next with Snow Blind and Dregen on the box does a good Ace impression. The EP closes out with I’ve Had Enough (Into The Fire) with Mats Levin on vocals, and I would say this is my favourite cover of the bunch.
Records like this are so often train wreck material but this is rather good with a decent production.
8/10 from The Grooveman.
