‘Ballad Of Brian Jones’ – Vinyl reviews–
Michael Ubaldini -‘THE BALLAD OF BRIAN JONES – (4 out of 5 stars!)
Blackwater records -2017
Nocturnal lowlives, falsley accused schmucks,ghosts,frisky women and cute girls…
Michael Ubaldini’s musical universe is populated by a calvacade of colourful characters brought vividly to life through his evocative lyrics.Formerly of Punk outfits The Earwigs & Alt country rock n roll pioneers Mystery Train,Ubaldini’s been on a more down home-rootsy trip for sometime,and he’s in fine form on this six-track 12 inch EP.
The atmospheric,title track hypnotises with its laidback groove,bluesy harmonica,and supernatural subject matter,while the insanely catchy (and witty) rocker ‘Jeanie Lees Phone’ is a 21st century love song set to a stompin’ Chuck Berry beat-a smash hit waiting to happen.Equally adept at rock n roll,honky-tonk and blues,Ubaldini plays a mean guitar,pulling out smokin’ licks at exactly the right moment without ever tipping into gratuitous exhibitionism,he’s backed by a super talented band that shares his penchant for understated cool and authentic analouge tone.— Shindig Magazine
