When do three become one?
The answer is when Royal Hunt Keyboard maestro of Andre Anderson invites
the likes of former Danger Danger front man Paul Laine and Pink Cream 69
vocalist Dave Readman in on his latest project, the resulting album is
called simply ‘Three’.
As the three main
contributors on this release have varying styles both in their relative
bands and as solo artists, the combination of all three is an intriguing
one.
With the vocals being shared
by Readman and Laine on alternate tracks, the album finds Laine starting
off the proceedings with “Rise”, a genuine hard rock opener if ever there
was one. Not to be outdone Readman starts his campaign off with “Dust to
Dust” which is another great track.
From these opening exchanges
it’s plain to see that there is going to be no winner in this vocal
contest, the only winner is the listener.
As each song was written
with each vocalist’s style in mind, it’s plain to hear that Anderson
wanted to bring out the best in each man and he succeeded in his aim.
Highlights of the album have
to be “The Way It Goes” with Laine really giving it some and equally
“Bulletproof” where Readman shows what he is capable of.
All in all a fascinating
combination of talents that really hits the mark. |
