BP FALLON LIVE IN TEXAS ~ EVERY RAINBOW HAS A SILVER LINING
“I didn’t know it was being recorded” says BP Fallon about his new album ‘Live In Texas’. “That’s maybe why it has such a great vibe”.
Now ‘BP Fallon Live In Texas’ ~ Irish eyes smiling shamen with his musical soul brother Aaron Lee Tasjan the enigmatic young light from Ohio on astounding acoustic guitar stirring up a crowd of fans at ABGB in Austin, Texas, then adding added flames to the whole damn thing with burning wild electric guitaring by both Danny B Harvey ~ who plays with Wanda Jackson and Lemmy though not at the same time ~ and Tex-Mex legend Joe King Carrasco, three guitars, Leonard Skynyrd a go-go, Bandits songs and new stuff and the song he cut with Jack White and a song he cut with The Ghost Wolves, live and heartfelt and magical.
The bottom line is ~ does anyone give a fuck about all this ‘BP Fallon Live In Texas’ boogaloo? Does anyone give a fuck about rock’n’roll? Does anyone give a toss about another brilliant album being vomited out onto this battered but still-magic planet?
Even if it’s by one of the most fascinating men singing rock’n’roll today, the weirdest backwards story, Dorian Grey in reverse, this ageless 109 year old creature who has traversed rainbows and is now kicking his famous pussy-pink Converse sneakers into the air while mouthing his cunning lyrics, the high priest of The Church Of Aural Sects? What question mark?
Just say know by saying yes. Because you’re worth it. Not because the guy is interesting but because the songs and the performances here truly get to the heart and there’s good shaking too. Like rock’n’roll is meant to be. Good morning.
