lot of the time I get stuff to review because I ask for it. Sometimes
things will be passed to me by a colleague or a PR guy because they
think it's my thing. And sometimes one comes at you out of the blue and
makes a great impression. Saint Jude did just that.
Are they a new name to you? They were to me. Fortunately, that's because
this is their debut album which I'm happy about, because it means I
haven't missed them prior to this! Saint Jude are a female fronted
quintet playing classic rock in a seventies style. While that sounds
okay, I don't have a great deal of female acts in my collection. There's
a few, but they tend to be more raunchy and raspy - the likes of
Alannah Myles, Tina Turner, Lulu, etc. Fortunately, Saint Jude's
vocalist, the fine looking Lynne Jackaman, has a delivery like that,
along with bags of power and confidence.
Backed by a thumping rhythm section comprised of Colin Palmer Kellogg on
bass and drummer Lee Cook, Jackaman's vocals are flanked by the
keyboards of Joe Glossop and guitar riffing of Adam Greene. The five
piece's opening track `Soul On Fire' is absolutely top drawer. It's like
a modern take on great seventies rock, without ripping anybody off or
sounding like an inferior version of all those great seventies bands.
Jackaman's voice is excellent and combined with the great riffs and hook
in the chorus, I was immediately impressed. `Garden Of Eden' and
`Little Queen' are just as good, before the pace slows a bit with `Down
This Road' - the first song the band wrote together.
There's more slow burners in the form of `Down And Out', `Pleased To
Meet You' and `Angel' before the rocking and catchy `Southern Belles'
closes the record with another excellent chorus up there with the
quality of the first three tracks. That would be the only criticism I
could level at this album - with such a great start with the first three
and the finale of `Southern Belle', the middle of the album has a group
of slower tracks, without much in the way of singalong choruses, all
clumped together. They are great songs in their own right, but I'd have
preferred another up-tempo one in the mix there - however, that really
is me looking for something to find fault with it.
With such a high quality debut, along with the fact
they have people like Ronnie Wood getting up to jam with them and Jimmy
Page thinks they rock, you have the makings of something great. If
seventies rock was (or is) your thing, check these guys out. They
do it like they were there in the first place, but with a bright and
stunning modern production. Add to the fact they aren't afraid to add
some extra flourishes in the form of some well utilised horns,
percussion and extra backing vocals, you have a staggeringly
accomplished first album. Superb stuff.
