Jeremy Spencer
Coventry Blue
Review by Gary Hill
The latest by Jeremy Spencer, this is a bit of mixed bag. Spencer is probably best known for his work in the early incarnations of the blues based Fleetwood Mac. One can find quite a bit of music here that fits near the territory of that group. This stretches well beyond that, though. Some songs are more effective than others and there are some that are just about masterpieces. Nothing here is really a “skip this track” piece, but there are definitely some weaker ones, too. Still, the whole thing flows well and this is a good release. The guitar playing is stellar throughout and perhaps the one real unifying force on this set.
This review is available in book format (hardcover and paperback) in Music Street Journal: 2014 Volume 2 at lulu.com/strangesound.
