I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Four, from David Deacon and it's a cool blues rocker. Opening with No Never Mind, David Deacon with his Leonard Cohen like vocals paces over a classic romping blues bass line with guitar, keys and drums. Cool opener. Rising Up Again has a smooth undertow with raspy vocals and jangly guitar work and solid vocal harmonies. Simplify has a simple ballad format but puts me in mind of a more melodic Roger Waters. With it's loose guitar work and floating guitar riffs, this track coasts along nicely. Wrapping the release is Waving Free with it's romping bass line. Deacon's vocals bounce along nicely, chased by playful guitar riffs giving the track an Dire Straits feel but a cooler presentation. This is a strong closer for an interesting release.
