“Bad Light” displays TRC’s songwriting ability: the lyrics are witty and creative, and that’s a consistent strength on this album. Stick-in-your-head choruses are a hallmark of this band, and this track is no exception.

The next cut, “Talk to Me”, released as a single in June, is a highlight of the album there’s a nice snaky groove and some clean-tone guitar licks providing a counterpoint to Vos’s vocal. The jump-up-and-dance bass riffs are back for the opening of “Patterns”, and Vos puts some gravel in his voice and some twang in his guitar fills and solo. Vos contributes staccato stabs and slide licks, and there’s a strong chorus to tie the song together. “Roll with It” continues the dance-til-you-drop energy that this outfit can generate at will.įirst-time producer Stiff gets the sequencing issue right: after two kickers, he’s placed the more meditative “Highway Lady” in the number three slot. This song is a 5-minute party, one of those numbers that you can’t listen to without smiling. Vos whips out his harp for “I Found Heaven (In My Darkest Days)”, another upbeat rocker. Starting off with the bass high in the mix and bringing up the drums, guitar, and vocal a few bars later is an interesting trick, and one that’s a signature move for this band. The set kicks off with the high-octane rocker “Dance on Mondays”, which is guaranteed to get us up and moving-these guys must be a hoot to see live.

Stiff and drummer Marc Cazorla lay down a foundation that’s both solid and creative, and Vos is in good voice throughout. There’s a hint of CCR swamp-rock in some tracks, and others lean toward acoustic Delta blues. The stripped-down approach suits the band well, with each song being built around a strong rhythmic base and colored with lap steel licks and tasty harp, both courtesy of guitarist/singer Chris Vos. Moving away from their record company and striking out on their own with bassist Alex Stiff filling the producer’s chair, the trio resolved to get back to basics-never a bad idea where blues-rock is concerned. Richards would approve.Īccording to the band’s teaser video, The 4th Album was cooked up under taxing circumstances.


Listening to TRC’s newly hatched album, you can’t help thinking that Mr. rockers The Record Company are obviously on the same page as the (apparently) immortal Keef on that subject their songs take the basic blues format-can’t-stop-dancing riff, tasty fills, throw in some harp, and tell a story-and make it seem fresh and original. No less a philosopher than Keith Richards has marvelled over the paradox of blues music: it’s simple as a knife and fork, but it’s provided us with some of the most creative works of popular music in the past century.
