Free Music Notes for Feasting With Panthers
Free Music Review: Blows you away
Hit: 5 Stars
When you first hear Topley's baritone, you're wondering who the heck is this? I thought Richard Thompson-only a little more rocked out and bluesy. Friends said Hiatt, Dr. John, etc. The more you listen, the more you identify Topley for what he is, British roots with American soul overlaid.
Is there a best song on the album? I liked most: "Los Largo" with its amazing Spanish intro will blow you away. "Soul Into You" is a great dance, funk. This group of songs is eclectic and fun--with stories mixed in--overall, a very good listen and worthy of your time.
Feasting With Panthers Poster
William Topley certainly isn't the first British boarding-school student to fall hard for American blues, rock, and soul listening to the BBC. Nor is he the best to have turned his early infatuation into a well-traveled career. On this, his fourth album, he lends his supple baritone to 12 songs that fall somewhere between John Hiatt at his most self-effacing and Mark Knopfler on a story-telling bender. The tracks that satisfy most are the ones that take deep, mostly American roots and add an interesting variation, such as the dancehall/hip-hop delivery that punctuates "Soul I Want," the Spanish-intro, low-key funk of "Los Largos," and the narrative specificity of "Drake's Drum." Where Topley falls short is on songs like "I Can't Wait" and "Closer to You," which are as prodding and predictable as their titles--as if Topley is singing someone else's clich?s. Feasting with Panthers is solid and dependable as a plate of comfort food which, depending your appetite, is either its lure or its weakness. --Keith MoererAlternative Rock Music CDs
