Review of the Fleetwood Mac CD Heroes Are Hard To Find
Fleetwood Mac released their most recent CD entitled Heroes Are Hard To Find.

Fleetwood Mac have been a heavy hitters in the Rock genre for quite a while now and Heroes Are Hard To Find is an excellent illustration as to why.

Heroes Are Hard To Find is a pleasantly varied, mix of 11 tracks that are very well written and brilliantly performed songs by these clearly talented musicians. With many of the songs displaying a lot of the kind emotion that makes for a really great listen. Seemingly drawing from what I can only imagine are their own personal experiences. At different points touching on the most real emotions of love, heartbreak, pain, failed relationships and unattainable romance. They’re all here.

Listen to Heroes Are Hard To Find and I believe you’ll find there’s not much to dis-like about it. The songs are inspired, the production is simply outstanding, and this is clearly the work of a group of musicians in top form. So much so that if you’re even mildly into Rock music you’ll enjoy this CD.

While the entire CD is outstanding the truly standout tunes are track 2 – Coming Home, track 9 – Prove Your Love, and track 11 – Safe Horbour.

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 – Heroes Are Hard To Find. Outstanding!

UK versus USA: Reasons Why America Doesn’t Make Music As Good As We Do

The UK version of Fleetwood Mac had it all. It had the best guitar players and the biggest drug-****ery. The US version pretty much survived their bouts with cocaine, reuniting every-so-often to play AOR for men and women in slacks. The UK version of Fleetwood Mac pretty much disintegrated in a cloud of weed smoke and melted their brains with super potent acid dished out by weird German cults. The tunes were better too.

Review: Sandi Thom, The Globe, Cardiff
Sep 23 2010 by Our Correspondent, South Wales Echo

SANDI Thom, the singer-songwriter who achieved fame in 2006 after performing live over the web from her London basement flat, provided the new noise insulation at the Globe with as demanding a test as it will receive.

Thom may have made her name with I Wish I Was A Punk Rocker (With Flowers in My Hair), but her first two albums were largely acoustic affairs.

Since leaving Sony and setting up her own label, the Scot has abandoned commercialism and immersed herself in the Blues.

Her 15-song set was largely made up of tracks from her new LP, Merchants and Thieves, embellished by Animals and Fleetwood Mac covers and a heavier version of Punk Rocker, but if the quality of the songs was high, so was the volume.

At times it was like sitting in a car with the loud button pressed and the bass turned to maximum.

The floor upstairs vibrated and ears popped.

Thom only went acoustic for one song, the first encore, Fleetwood Mac’s Need Your Love So Bad. Too Bad.

Thom was part of a six-piece band, two guitars, bass, drums and keyboards supplemented by a tambourine-waving support singer.

The keyboards were drowned out and the vocals were too often beaten by the drums.

It was certainly a departure from her first two albums – Smile… It Confuses People, and The Pink & the Lily, following the trail taken by Chris Rea, though he made a dozen mainstream LPs before picking up his Blues guitar.

The evening compared somewhat unfavourably to bluesman Rea’s concert in Cardiff’s St David’s Hall, a couple of years ago, when the sound levels were spot on and the vocals did not compete with instruments.

Anyone wanting to hear the real Thom should listen to Maggie McCall on Merchants and Thieves.

It’s Americana with a hint of Scotland.

Stretch also toured the US as the bogus Fleetwood Mac during the early 70's. I could list several others that I feel deserve more recognition, many of which would be a tad too obscure for most... There's a few anyways. ...
