The press
for Pennan Brae’s 8th studio album says that it is “influenced by
rock & roll of the 1970s & 80s”. And certainly, the opening of lead song
‘Won’t You Come My Way’ has a very Rolling Stones guitar riff, a theme that
repeats throughout the record. Following hard on this start is the album’s best
song ‘El Camino’ which adds Raspberries style pop to the mix.
Other album highlights are the mid-tempo ‘Sashay’, the only place where Alison Jenkins’ backing vocals have much impact, and singles ‘Passing Fad’ and ‘Tearing my Heart in 2’. And there’s the clue. The best songs are the singles, the album is ten tracks long and under 40 minutes long. In other words, a good old-fashioned album. You know where to buy it by now.
Pennan Brae is also a screenwriter and film maker. His ‘The Astronot’ is on Amazon Prime now, and well worth a watch.
There are changes coming to 160gigblog. More content and different content. Watch out over the next few weeks. In the meantime, here’s Pennan Brae’s latest video while you wait.
