Convoy - "Caught Up in You" [mp3]
Black Licorice [Amazon] |
|
The rumours of music's demise have been, proverbially, exaggerated, as Convoy's Black Licorice, a magnum opus of genius pop craftsmanship, will attest. I will not go any further into the merits of this album, other than say that it is a compendium of practically any great band that has ever come out of the U.S. and the U.K., specially SoCal bands like the Beach Boys and Byrds, and England's Beatles, 'Stones, and T.Rex… Please, take my word for it… this was the best album of 2001 that I didn't even know existed. Someday, about 25 years from now or so… when Papa Roach and their fellow mediocre generic white-boy rappers and disgruntled Generation Y-ers have gone the way of "Rico Suave"… me and my best friend, whom I recommended this album to, and who loved it as much, will be drinking to our good fortune of having bought a CD which (from the looks of things) few other people bought, but which will still resonate as a great album for decades to come. |
