This dynamic front man has finally started to turn on The Machine. Vinnie Green. Presents to you a thirty-year history of Rod Stewart. Beginning with the early Faces to the latest Rod release Human.
Green promises to rock and bring the house down in true living color.
With a new recording contract under his belt and his first video in pre-post production the future looks good for this artist stated his record company executive. Tibario Traverse From Way Ahead Records.
After last years release of. (One Golden Leaf) A song written by Green and his best friend Sean Stokes.We have really started to see the capabilities of this emerging artist. The song one golden leaf was actually picked; as the title song of a compilation put out on the behalf of the sick children's foundation, says Green this was a highlight for both Sean and myself. Being as the song was written about the love for our children. The knowledge that it helps children existing on the other side of courage is extremely rewarding.
Sean Stokes musical composition really set up the whole experience said Green.
When Green was asked why this song was recorded in the French language he replied "the translation gave this song a whole new meaning".
One Golden Leaf is featured on the shortly to be released album WOW! As the first track.
The album comes to the end with the French version. ( Une Fuile D`Ore )
Listed: some of the more unusual cuts in between:
The witty (Cote D'Azur Blue moon Sunday) is an autobiographical prose of Greens beach comber life in the South of France. And deals with the subject matter of free sex, sunshine, And fun.
(In A Broken Dream.) One of the two cover tunes on this album features one of the most haunting guitar solos this author has ever heard, telling the tale of love won and lost in a haunting style that really shows the range of Greens voice. Written by Mike Bennett this could surely be considered a timeless classic.
(Strange) Deals with a darker side of Greens writing and his socio-economic angst, painting a picture of his failure to help a very good friend in desperate need, burn victim Joe Philion. Whose house was tragically repossessed?
(Look inside) Was described by Green as a look inward to the darker side of ourselves. This tune is poppy for the fun things but with a darker message.
(Loving Hannah) An Irish lament in the traditional style is the only boring track on the C.D.
(Heroes All) Being an English man the only way the British can express there love for soccer is to sing about it, the story line establishes the dreams and hopes of a young Scotsman playing for his team. (Celtic football club) In the S.F.A. (Scottish Football Association.) Final with his clan watching on, you can almost feel the fear as he digs down deep inside Green sings believe me this song puts you there right in the crowd,the story telling is exquisite. Green informed me that he and Stokes wrote this ode to soccer for a major recording artist but he rejected it. His loss is there gain a great prose for an excellent album.
(Handbags & Gladrags) Typically Green sticks with what he knows best a ballad and Rod Stewart Cover tune Written by Mike De`abo. Which is the second cover track on this album.
(WOW!) Green & keyboard soloist (Morag Makin) wrote the title track from this album.
She's so cute wins my vote not quite twenty with a lot of hopes some of the boys in town try to make me look a clown wow! Wow! Wow! She's all mine. A really fun song with the millenium sound.
Sean Stokes has heavily influenced this album with his musical influence added with Greens voice this is truly a unique collaboration. Stemming from blues through to the traditional. Even though Stokes had no part in the writing of the title track WOW! You can tell his input was there throughout this record.
Covering the spectrum anthems of gothic rock, funk, R&B, and Techno.
A first attempt at the big circus 3***stars Out of 5*****.
September 15th is the scheduled release date for WOW! But. Green has made it available on his web site http://www.mp3.com/vinniegreen secure order from Mp3.com. For those who cannot wait.
