David Vandervelde - The Moonstation House Band

Alrite, I'm just going to go ahead and get it out of the way. Here it comes; the Marc Bolan comparison. David Vandervelde's debut sounds a lot like T. Rex. A lot like T. Rex; both in voice and sound. Yet, Vandervelde pulls it off well; Vandervelde obviously draws quite heavily from Bolan, but he manages to keep things sounding fresh. This album is short, just over 30 minutes, and as of right now there is one track I find myself constantly skipping, Courdoroy Blues; this puts the album at just under 30 minutes. More of an EP really. Nonetheless, the other 7 tracks on The Moonstation House Band are all really strong tunes. You've got your rockers, your slow songs, your instrumentals, your almost-alt-countrys. Just about everything you could ask for.

how many? 8.1
Nothin' No mp3
