TJR - Another Roll of the Dice - Album Review


 Dylan Thompson

TJR offerings is called Another Roll of the Dice, and its stylish and well-polished, nice on the ears rock 'n' roll, in other words very professional offerings, and has no leftovers. 

Well let's start with a dig at MTV giants with Peace Love and Don't Trust MTV give you the gripe with MTV's dominance in broadcasting music videos.

In all the songs there is humour with nibbling's of upbeat and updated blues in One Summer Morning. 

Hey Ya, is a schmoozing cover version of the hip-hop original and it's warm, harmonious, and great lead guitar work cuts the groove. Baby Please, Blue, and Home to Me is all about women and either losing or wanting a return to the man of dreams?

Jesus Loves You is well crafted and it's a different take on religious speak. Getting down to a dirty rock sound with Lil' Miss Thang.

Getting to the end is the operatic spacious rock road-trip shall we 'return home' and then Bare empties the cupboard with a congo percussive backbone and deep bass and interesting sounds from the guitars gets you movin' and then a drivin' drumbeat gets the heart pumpin'.

Then the funkiness of the last song No One Makes the Sunshine, but I'm sure they do in Santa Fe! Becasue TJR make it on my ears and yours as well if you listen!
