Review:
Solid blues/rock
I was pleasantly surprised by how good this is. I knew some of Kevin
Coyne’s later work but missed out on Siren at the time; it turns
out that even at this very early stage of his musical career, Coyne
released two very decent albums with Siren.
Neither of these
albums is a Lost Classic, but they are good, solid bluesy rock with a
varied approach and a slightly witty, knowing edge sometimes. There
was plenty of music in a similar style around at the time but I
reckon this stands out from the crowd a bit. Coyne’s vocals are as
good as always, there’s some very decent guitar work and the whole
thing is tight and solid.
If you like the
blues/rock of the late 60s and early 70s I would definitely recommend
giving Siren a try. This is good stuff and I’m glad to have
discovered them at last.
