At my age I am grateful when the slower tempo “Cry Out” arrives sounding like it has come from a lost Free session tape. In my view this track propels Cormac Neeson straight to the top of today’s rock singing pedestal. No wonder Paul Rodgers got all enthusiastic.
“Why’d You Change Your Mind” somehow underlines that earlier Crowes reference with a stand out classic that got right under my skin. When it opens out you had better remove all glass from a safe radius. It’s exceptional in every way.
The uplifting (isn’t it all?) “Pride” just has to be another single. “Walkin’ Mat” shows how confident this band has justifiably become. Cormac delivers some near Steve Marriott moments on the chorus and, anyone who knows me will know, that I don’t fling that compliment around lightly.
“Tonight” struts and strides its way from your speakers. “Dead Of The Night” just rocks, what else do I need to say? “Comfort Zone” provides exactly that and gives me a chance to regain some dignity and more importantly my breath. It has a rich psychedelic vibe that the band carries off perfectly.
“Evil Man” wraps up powerfully before the bonus track “Revolution” gives us even more of the answer.
I’ve said enough. I need to lie down with a cold flannel across my forehead and play something more delicate as an antidote. Within minutes though I’ll be fumbling for the play button to hear more of this. Everyday Demons, indeed.
