Glad All Over Reviews

Seven years. Much time has passed since "Rebel, Sweetheart" the last exit signed Wallflowers. A musical adventure in which the last word has not been written, but the will of Jakob Dylan to follow a lonely path could be a prelude. Fortunately this did not happen. The boys gathered in Nashville - the city where the air you breathe not only country music but tout-court - with the addition of Jack Irons on drums (formerly sat behind the drums of Red Hot Chili Peppers and Pearl Jam ...) and the sacred partnership of Mick Jones of The Clash guitar thinking, they worked hard and gave birth to the work that we have at hand: "Glad all over", the sixth album by the band.
So fortunately it was not, they said, because the eleven songs on this album tell us very clearly that the Wallflowers still have great cards to spend and to give good notes. A disc of pure rock that retains suffused echoes of pop that, far from banal, I vary the log. A disc that uses the writing always inspired by one of the best pens on the market today, the lucid and careful Jakob Dylan. Just the depth of the texts is one of the essential strengths of "Glad all over". A disc that also relies, in two episodes, the single "Reboot the mission" and "Misfits and lovers," the recognizable touch of Mick Jones. So you'd think, listening to the funk stradaiolo Radio Clash and magically resumed the interrupted program some time ago. But, however pleasant, are only episodes, to be precise.
The heart of the album, if we want to provide coordinated and more precise reference, we refer to what is now the most traditional in the country of the stars and stripes, Bruce Springsteen. "Have a mercy on him now" and "It will not be long" give the impression that the singer behind us and the entire E Street Band, it's a compliment and not a criticism, mind you.
An album where there are beautiful songs, in which there is a good feeling, when it seems that everything is in place where it should be. In addition, as they say, is an album that grows with each subsequent listening.
The Wallflowers are back to play the role of "beautiful outsiders" who had lost in the street.
They have a history of twenty years and a good record production behind it is especially live are appreciated to the full, there seems to touch the essence of their soul. Who attended the American concerts this summer has brought a great impression. Besides, before publishing their first album Jakob and his brothers have a long apprenticeship lining up a number of concerts in three digits.
In the letter of wishes to put under the tree addressed to Santa Claus next to the health of our loved ones, and an expected lull in the economic stranglehold let's also a nice tour of the Italian Wallflowers in 2013.
