Brian James: The Guitar That Dripped Blood (Easy Action)<\/h5>\n

Brian James\u2019 distinctive guitar tone, riff-craft and sonic song-writing style is on full alert here on this new one from Easy Action. Ten top tracks that echo the Damned, Stooges and James\u2019 own previous solo classics (Tanz Der Youth, Brains etc) and that push this one hard. James doesn\u2019t handle all the lead vocals here though \u2013 it makes little or no sense to me that James would have anyone other than himself sing. His charismatic drawl is everything that these songs need. Guest vocalist Adam Becvar (4 tunes) sounds similar enough to be unnecessary and but different enough to want to hear James back taking the lead. This is a rough and ready release and guest guitarist Cheetah Chrome grinds it out with James on \u2018Becoming a Nuisance\u2019 <\/em>just to add that little bit more Stoogey-grind so beloved by both guitarists. (10 tracks.)<\/p>\n
