Diesels Play Byrds
If ever there was a band tailor-made to deliver a top-notch, spot-on tribute to the legendary and fabulous Byrds, it's Diesel Park West! Throughout their career they've never tried to hide their affection for 60's West Coast-inspired, jangly music. And Byrds-like, harmony-filled janglers have always been one of their strengths. Quickly recorded in two nights, there's no need to question for one second the spot-on reverence and stellar delivery of the when required power and punch that permeates the proceedings. The only question that begs to be asked is "What took you so long guys?". With help from Adam Ellis on vocals/tambourine (the Gene Clark of the project you might say), the Diesels "glyde" effortlessly both vocally and instrumentally through all 22(!) songs, with not a duff one in the bunch! While the obvious are here - like "The Bells Of Rhymney", "I'll Feel A Whole Lot Better", "Eight Miles High", "My Back Pages", "Mr Spaceman", "Turn Turn Turn", "So You Want To Be A Rock N' Roll Star", and "Renaissance Fair", some not so obvious ones like "Here Without You", "Why", "Wild Mountain Thyme", "Draft Morning", and "I See You" balance things out quite nicely! What else do they cover you ask? How's "Change Is Now", "John Riley", "What's Happening?!?!", "He Was A Friend Of Mine", "Everybody's Been Burned", "5th Dimension", "I Wasn't Born To Follow", "It Won't Be Wrong", and "Goin' Back"? A tribute done the way a tribute should be done - by doing their homework and producing brilliant results! Try this the next time you need a Byrds fix! MANUFACTURED ON DEMAND. In conjunction with Diesel Park West and their management, this is an official CD release.
