.NOTES.
This is the Danish band Highway Child╞s debut CD. It was released in Denmark
privately by the band 2 years ago. It is just now being released in Germany on
Elektrohasch and it coincides with the bands brand new CD called Sanctuary Come
on Gateway Music in Denmark (see review in this issue). The CD starts with
Lonely Time Blues which is a real 70╞s foot stomping rocker with a cool groove.
This gives you a taste of what this band is all about. Good time, blues rock and
roll with taste. Change Yourself is another one that just sucks you in with the
groove and the bass line. Branded a Fool begins with some really cool vocals and
is a short acoustic summertime sitting in the garden blues number. Highclass
Bitch is a bit like a down and dirty Guns and Roses track from the Illusion
records era. Gold is a real stand out track and begins with acoustic guitar but
then the heavy bass and electric guitar kicks in. The way the bass and drums are
mixed on this one will remind you of Led Zeppelin. Sadly this track is way to
short as the band really keep to the compositions here and don╞t really try to
jam or stretch out any of the numbers but this would have been a perfect one.
High is a mellow bluesy track with acoustic guitar and harmonica. Lovin╞ Lovin╞
brings back the rock and is the longest song on the CD at 5 minutes and also the
most psychedelic. This has a really catchy vocal and groove as well and reminds
me of Josiah (who these guys have probably never heard of!). Track 8 has no
name, just a blank space after the 8 and is under 2 minutes long and an organ
and vocal track. It leads into one of the bands main live songs, Love for Sale.
Another rocker but with some more ripping guitar and boogie to go along the side
as well as a Robert Plant like vocal. Just like You is one of my favourite
tracks by the band. I really like the vocals, the way the guitar riff pushes
against the bass line. I should mention that the bass and drums are tight and
really rocking in this band. The CD ends with the bands concert ending signature
song called Highway Child.
While this record gives you a taste of the band, it is live, where this band
really kicks ass and they jam out on a lot of songs as well, which really gives
them that real authentic 70╞s feel as well as sound. If these guys come by,
don╞t miss them. Very good debut CD.
