The Misses
Review by Gary Hill
If you understand what this is, it's a very solid release. Don't come in here expecting anything that will change your understanding of music or break any boundaries. You will be disappointed. What this set does is put a fresh face on well worn musical traditions and sounds. It does this in a way that's always entertaining. While there are some definite highlights here, nothing is particularly weak. The standouts are really worth the price of admission on this ride. This is just no nonsense rock music with a lot of punk in the midst. Yet from a lyrical point of view it's almost folk music, telling real life stories.
This review is available in book (paperback and hardcover) form in Music Street Journal: 2018 Volume 3. More information and purchase links can be found at: garyhillauthor.com/Music-Street-Journal-2018.
