BIG BAD BLUES

                                                      DAVID GILMOUR (1978)

                                 

Ok ...it's 1978 and the man goes solo!!Having a huge carrier with PINK FLOYD allready, DAVID GILMOUR releases his first solo album using his name as a title.I must admit that the differences with his original band are not that many since his voice and the sound of his guitar is like a trademark for the music of PINK FLOYD but there is a sence of coolness and freedom in the sound of this album that shows the need for expression in a more down to earth atmosphere of the artist.

The blues in general are the number one ingredient of his material and songs like "Michalis","Raise my Rent","Cry from the Street" and of course the masterpiece "There's no way out of here"(there's a cover of this song in MONSTER MAGNET'S album MONOLITHIC BABY" that kicks ass), are fine examples of great rock songwriting with fantastic melodies,great sound and a voice that travels you through your ups and downs.

To all the music lovers : you must listen this record!!!
