\"\"Going out with a bang! Onder die <\/span>noemer<\/span> zou<\/span> je Wiggle Your Fingers<\/strong><\/span> (Curation <\/span>Records) <\/span> van<\/span> GospelbeacH<\/span><\/a> kunnen<\/span> scharen<\/span>. De <\/span>mannen<\/span> rondom<\/span> Brent <\/span>Rademaker <\/span>geven<\/span> aan<\/span> dat<\/span> dit<\/span> het <\/span>laatste<\/span> album van het <\/span>Californische<\/span> gezelschap<\/span> zal<\/span> zijn<\/span>. Het is <\/span>gelukkig<\/span> een<\/span> waardige<\/span> afscheidsplaat<\/span> geworden<\/span>. <\/span>Alles<\/span> wat <\/span>goed<\/span> was <\/span>aan<\/span> Gospel<\/span>beach<\/span> komt<\/span> erop<\/span> terug<\/span>: h<\/span>et <\/span>warme<\/span> geluid<\/span> van <\/span>Californi\u00eb<\/span> van de <\/span>jaren<\/span> 70, <\/span>heartlandrock<\/span> a la Tom Petty, <\/span>psychedelische<\/span> countryrock<\/span>, <\/span>briljante<\/span> koortjes<\/span>. <\/span>Ik <\/span>draai<\/span> het album <\/span>dat<\/span>\u00a0in de lente <\/span>uitkwam<\/span>, a<\/span>l <\/span>een<\/span> half <\/span>jaar<\/span>, maar <\/span>k<\/span>o<\/span>n<\/span> eigenlijk<\/span> niet<\/span> de <\/span>juiste<\/span> woorden<\/span> vinden<\/span> waarom<\/span> ik<\/span> het zo <\/span>goed<\/span> vind<\/span>. En <\/span>nog<\/span> steeds <\/span>niet<\/span>. Het <\/span>zijn<\/span> heerlijke<\/span> melodi<\/span>e\u00ebn<\/span>, <\/span>dat<\/span> allereerst<\/span>. Verder <\/span>zitten<\/span> de <\/span>liedjes<\/span> gewoon<\/span> steengoed<\/span> in <\/span>elkaar<\/span>. <\/span>Neem <\/span>b.v.<\/span> The Dropouts (Part 1 & 2)<\/em>. Het <\/span>begint<\/span> als<\/span> powerpop<\/span> (part 1) en <\/span>gaat<\/span> ineens<\/span> over in <\/span>Beatle-<\/span>eske<\/span> folkrock<\/span>.<\/span> You’re<\/span><\/em> The Only One (frozen Burrito #2)<\/em> is <\/span>natuurlijk<\/span> een<\/span> verwijzing<\/span> naar<\/span> The <\/span>Flyin<\/span>g<\/span> Burrito Brothers). <\/span>Verder <\/span>vallen<\/span> de <\/span>mooie<\/span> toevoegingen<\/span> op<\/span>: de<\/span> lapsteel<\/span> (van Derwood Andrews, <\/span>een<\/span> naar<\/span> Californi\u00eb<\/span> uitgeweken<\/span> Brit, die <\/span>als<\/span> gitarist<\/span> begon<\/span> in Generation X)<\/span> en pedal steel (van <\/span>o.m.<\/span> Joe Harvey White, van de <\/span>Britse<\/span> Han<\/span>ging Stars)<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>Gek, <\/span>zo\u2019n<\/span> album <\/span>dat<\/span> je <\/span>niet<\/span> loslaat<\/span>, maar <\/span>dat<\/span> je <\/span>niet<\/span> goed<\/span> weet<\/span> waarom dat is<\/span>. <\/span>Misschien<\/span> is <\/span>dat<\/span> nu net de <\/span>magie<\/span> van <\/span>muziek<\/span>.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
