Blues Rock, Classic Rock
Some artists are marked for their entire life due their works with famous bands or musicians. To start this review, Big Daddy here must remember my dear nephews and nieces about legendary names as THIN LIZZY and NOEL REDDING BAND. Both are extremely known and important and consolidated names from the 70s, and influenced a great range of musicians. Well, the two bands have one thing in common: the presence of ERIC BELL, an Irish guitarist and composer, who wrote hits as "The Rocker" for THIN LIZZY. He also played in the band of the Rock and Roll/Blues legend Bo Diddley as well for some time.
So you're introduced to Eric's story, but what you can expect from "Exile," his first solo album? Well, here you'll find another face of Eric's playing, because no Rock'n'Roll or Heavy Metal will be waiting for you. It's in a more Rock/Folk/Blues trend, to be honest. But do you really care about labels when hearing good music? Fortunately, I believe that the greater part of you doesn't have this limitation, so "Exile" will sound live and fresh, a blowing wind on the ears on ears tired of the aggressiveness on Metal and its styles. The sound quality is very good. To record such album, it took the efforts to make it clear, because distorted guitars are heard, but not on extreme levels of noise. No, it would damage the tender atmosphere of the album, and it wouldn't fit. So this one is the best (and we can hear Eric's refined technique on the six strings).
If you're searching for a thousand of notes per second, or some show of virtuous technique, search for it in another album, because on "Exile," the greater point of our attention is the songs. The excellent feeling that comes from "Deep in Your Heart" (a Folk/Pop Rock song with excellent riffs and fine singing), the bluesy touch on the tender melodies of "Don’t Love Me No More" (a fine moment, sounding a little with some of the more calm moments of Jimi Hendrix career), the slow Folk Rock (with some distortion on guitars) called "Vote for Me" (that reminds something from the 60s), the gentle and tender "Exile" (all done with voice and clean guitars, that holds us by our ears), and the energy flow from the Rock'n'Roll song "Rip It Up" (that will remind you all from that energy from the 50s) can be said as the album's greatest moments. If you find something that isn't good, tell me. I hope that "Exile" is just the first solo album from Eric, and that he will release more albums like this in the future.by Marcos "Big Daddy" Garcia, metal-temple.com
