I’m
still wondering why Thunder hasn’t become a “big” band up to
date. And when I say “big”, not to be misunderstood, I mean why
they don’t sell millions of CDs… or to cut it short why they do
not have a mainstream recognition? I do not think that there are many
hard rock bands out there that delivered so many good releases in
their carrier. We also know that every new release of the band would
be at least very good.
So,
what are you expecting to read about “Robert Johnson’s
Tombstone
”? In my opinion this album,
is the best of the last three albums that the band has delivered
during the last years. May the title has to do with a great blues man
of the late 20’s but the band has not forgotten to deliver great
hard rockin’ music again along with some blues (as always) elements.
Danny is singing his heart out in this album (the guy is really
amazing!) and Luke is delivering some excellent rockin’ rhythm &
blues tunes that are gonna rock ya for good. Do not look for silly hit
rock songs here that will be forgotten after 1-2 months… here is the
heart of rock music… those Brittish guys know very good how to make
me chill! What do you expect now? To tell you which one of the songs
should you listen to first? No, my friends this release (as every
Thunder release) can not be heard fragmentarily. Whether you love this
kind of music and you “play” it far too many times or you better
listen to a “smash pop-rock hit” to kill some time of yours.
Thunder
has delivered the goods once more, but you know something?... these
crazy British guys won’t stop surprising us with every release. Do a
favour to yourself and listen to this album as many times as you can…
and you know something… you will really get addicted to the
beautiful tunes of Thunder and the CD will melt in your CD-player in
the end. Can’t see any good reason for someone who calls himself a
rocker to not get this stunning album… the devil made me do it…
