Free Music Notes for Natural
Free Music Review: Ken Bates knew my father
Hit: 5 Stars
Wandering about in the land of the red socks and walking sticks appears to have paid off. Purists will continue to be pissed off at the non appearance of "Where Were You" but never mind the quality feel the width.
Our happy band of situationalists have pulled each other off again. This is what we've been waiting for and like all good things it was worth the wait. Acoustically framed, electrically charged and most of all smelling of natural oils this is a collection of songs which for the first time show off the Meke's many talents. Not just Lu's incandescent production but also the sheer beauty of Ms Honeyperson's bow scraping.
Tommy puts in a fine performance as lead tenor and we are treated to a large sluice (sic) of Eric's lovely voice. Jon and Sally are the glue that holds it all together underpinned by Steve's percussion. Just take "Old Fox" and the appearance of Lu as Reynard himself and then compare that to some kike from the Chemical Brothers.
This is an intelligent album in as much as it makes you think - the arrangements mean that less is more and because of this you find new things in it at every listen.
The dark rural sinistry of the opening track the wistful ode of a lost childhood that is Dickie, Chalkie and Nobby and the gypsies arriving at every farm gate and cottage door suggest an earthy, mulchy ray of hope.
Cockermouth even acknowledges something it doesn't know about - Neil Gow's apprentice no less. Michael Marra will be truly proud.
This is the first Mekes album I've heard that is 100% consistently listenable - some will accuse them of having found their commercial gene. Nah, it's their Autry gene they've found.
Oh and how many other albums are dedicated to one of Manchester's finest? Further on down the road eh Jon?
Buy this now and then annoy your neighbours with it, it'll be more fun than that scratchy 45 of WWY.
