Swag more like rubbish

Swag
Gilby Clarke
(Spitfire)

Well, the good news is that Gilby has a new release. The bad news is he sings on it. The songs and the guitars are decent like the Kiss-esque 'Diamond Jacks', though most tracks lack a hook. What ruins it for the listener is Gilby's rubbish voice. Listening to it is almost painful. Gilby is not a total waste of time. His Pawnshop Guitars album from '94 was a corker. Gilby needs to admit he can't sing and get someone decent in. He should ask his buddy Slash to recommend someone. In short, this is a pretty dire disc that I cannot recommend to anyone.
