VOODOO HILL: the tracklist
THE REVIEW by Roberto Cosentino
(also appeared in the WWW Board on the Official Site)
Dario Mollo is a
real guitar master and he plays guitar in strong hard-rock style, with a mix
of melodic symphony. The other players play in a very professional way, and
all the work takes vital strenght from the master of voice, Glenn Hughes. His
voice is an unbelievable mix of power and tenderness that rides like the wind
together with the guitar of Dario Mollo. Maybe this is one of the best work of
Glenn Hughes of all times (it's only my personal opinion, but I am sure of
this).
Anyway here is also a short comment about the songs:
SENSITIVE
The beginning is light, with tipical Hughes introduction, then follows a
guitar riff like a horse ride with Glenn's voice very bluesly, and goes in a
perfect "From now on" style.
DISCONNECTED
Very hard way, it begins in a Sabbath style, then the voice and the guitar go
together, like two twisted snakes. The guitar solo it's a melodic situation
with the voice that breaks guitar in the middle. The final episode is a real
storm with Glenn at maximum power, and drums and bass guitar look like as they
come out from the cage of crazy snakes.
GOLDEN ONE (GABI'S SONG)
The title is enough !! It's a ballad dedicated to Gabrielle, I think. Do you
remember the first album of Brazen Abbot ??? Or also Billy Liesegang album
with Glenn ???? well, this is a song I can't explain. Here comes out the heart
of Glenn. He never sang in this way before. It's a very, very emotioning
situation. All together, until the last scream, until the last guitar riff; then
the end, with Glenn who comes back to sensual voice.
"The golden one" "stay with me"!!!!!
SPUN IN LOST WAGES
very stunning song. Powerful performance of all musicians. It's song without
pauses. Here you can listen Blackmore influences in guitar playing (don't
worry, Dario, just influences...)rides like the wind from the beginning to the
end.
KEEP IT TO YOURSELF
Yes, it's a funky voice with nice riff guitar. Glenn's vocal performance is
like him. His vocal range is inimitable. I can remember some episodes from
"Feel" album. The guitar solo reminds me an Eddie Van Halen style.
24
Acoustic guitar and voice, just for introducing, then I go into another world,
I close my eyes and fly in the sky. "Goodbye 24" this is a beautiful
sensation: just a few songs can give you these moments. "Goodbye 24"
is a fantastic ballad in perfect Hughes style. I think here the guitar is at
its maximum power.
JUST ANOTHER MONDAY
Drums and bass guitar in first raw. Another precious performance of the guitar
and the voice, AOR style. As usual voice and guitar again are over the
mountain (or over the hill?). Hey dario, where were you in the past years???
THE GYPSY (Deep Purple classic)
What about it??????? Any comment is unnecessary.
BLACK LEATHER
Just some little funky atmosphere, when music stops in some points. It's fast
changes of speed by drums and guitar, with the voice that rides both of them.
VOODOO HILL
The title track. Keyboards introduction with harmonic voice. Here also the rhythm
changes in a fast way. In the middle it seems to be in Arabian lands. Yet the
guitar solo brings my mind in desert land. Glenn is very angry. Yeah, it's
right, he's stuck in a Voodoo Hill!!!!
MATCH SONG (instrumental)
Unfortunately all the good things have a quick end. Light cigarette and listen
only the guitar in first raw with the other instruments in the background. Light
cigarette, light cigarette, light cigarette..........
THE CLIPS
