Pro Reviews: Relentless
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews : Another in a series of undiluted blues-rock offerings from guitarist Trout, Relentless, his eleventh disc since 1990, doesn't offer any surprises. Released in conjunction with a DVD, the album was recorded live in a Netherlands club The Paradiso, on a single day with little post-production sweetening or audience intervention. This results in a successful balance between sonics and concert sparks. For those that relish his by now standard brand of sturdy, guitar heavy, Stevie Ray Vaughan inspired music, Trout is in fine fret-shredding form here. But fans who'd like to see Trout swim in some new waters will find little of that on this outing. His music succeeds best live, where the sweat and intensity overrides lackluster, by-the-numbers SRV shuffles such as Talk to Ya," a tune as ordinary as its title. Trout's gruff, everyman voice is acceptable, but it's difficult to do much with the I had a hard childhood" lyrics of Collingswood." Although we're sorry he's had a challenging upbringing, the heavy-handed approach makes you wish he'd hired a lyricist to express it more poetically. Interestingly, one of the album's best tracks is the gospel infused ballad Cry if You Want To," a beautiful melody reminiscent of the Stones' Fool to Cry" where the remarkably succinct guitar solo supports the song instead of vice versa. Lonely Tonight" is a rare solo acoustic track where Trout bangs his unplugged guitar furiously, but once again the tune is little more than a skeleton of a song. Then it's back to the same old, with the Steppenwolf-styled boogie of Helpin' Hand," another in a series of excuses for Trout to pull out his meaty lead guitar licks. With his whisky--soaked singing, hot strings and fiery soloing, a little of this goes a long way, and 73 minutes is too much for all but the most relentless fans. - Hal Horowitz, All Music Guide |
