For those bored by the auto-tuned
adolescents swamping the album chart…
A healthy slew of psychedelia mixed in
on Eyes on the Road sees A Shade of Orange deliver what Kula Shaker
managed for one hot minute ten years ago, while Bought a House
could’ve been done by The Cure if Robert Smith weren’t so gloomy
and had mated with Jane’s Addiction… in 1965.
The album isn’t a carbon copy of any
of Capaldi’s influences though, it’s a pleasantly cacophonous
mix of them all (tiny bit nu-Beach Boys, more Beatles doing country
and even more Ryan Adams on happy pills), a mix only a producer like
Chris Kimsey (The Rolling Stones’ go-to guy) could’ve engineered.
Counting PJ Harvey among his celebrity
fans and with BBC Radio 2’s Bob Harris behind him, this
Bristol-born, Dorset-bred singer-songwriter’s ducks are all in a
row.
