Flang Dang

Product Information

Andy is without one of the greatest artists this country has ever produced from those early years with Amen Corner, through touring the world with Eric Clapton and Roger Waters. Auf seinem brandneuen Studioalbum FLANG DANG - in herrlicher Wortwitztradition von LA BOOGA ROOGA oder MEGA SHEBANG - zelebriert er diese und andere frische Kompositionen jedoch fast im Alleingang: zurückgekehrt in die Waliser Rockfield-Studios, in denen er bereits Ende der Sixties unter anderem mit Dave Edmunds zauberte. He hadn’t planned to make another album, but the lockdown had created the situation that he says left him thinking, “Why not? don’t get me wrong; I’m a Music Snob and revel in such albums that sometimes need Poirot or Vera to unravel the mysteries therein; but sometimes I just crave music that is ….

Beavis pachtet hier gleich den Rhythmus, bei dem jeder mit muss - und Andy erweitert seine schier unnachahmliche Vokalkunst wie so oft hier mit eigenen Chorstimmen. Flang Dang is Andy's first solo album since 2006 - After an interval of sixteen years, here he is again at his sweet and soulful musical best with the kind of record that will surely delight his fans.Never a huge singles collector I also bought Andy Fairweather Low’s 45, Wide Eyed and Legless; and that’s probably where our paths ceased to cross until now. But; there’s another song that captured my attention the first day I played the album, and yesterday found myself subconsciously turning the volume up, in the car …. Ein weiterer waffenscheinpflichtiger Groove wird mit einem Zungenbrecher gekoppelt: "You can vip-vop and Be-Bop and shout Bam-a-lam", heißt es in "Looking Down", und es brennt die Hütte.

The whole album has the patina of maturity that you would expect from someone with such a huge wealth of experience as a musician and a gentleman. Andy's straightforward and often powerful lyrics greet the uncertainties and sorrows of life with a missive to get up and “Stand Up” in the light, and above all, to keep faith with oneself. If there is a certificate we’ve missed out on then it’s probably for a 50 metre swim badge at the local swimming baths.To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Die ansteckende Tanznummer "99 Ways" glänzt mit derart silbenreicher, witziger Fabulierkunst, dass man Rap einfach nie braucht. In härterer Gangart schüttelt Low einen weiteren Ohrwurm aus dem Ärmel - sollte seinen Vorbilden, jenen Londoner Rolling Stones, noch jemals solch eine Spätsingle gelingen - eine No. I was due to be at the studio with another band when Andy was actually recording this fabulous album.
