Fred's House - 'Looking Glass' The title song, lead vocals by Griff complimented with Vikki's voice
which has a definite blues feel to it and written by Larchy (about
his days working in some corporate coffee house - take it he wasn't
too impressed) is fast and energetic. The listener is then treated
to the extend of Vikki's vocal abilities when she belts out 'I'm Not
Saying' - probably my favourite (a song about wanting time away from
it all - now we've all been there!) and the beautifully composed 'The
Last Thing I wanted'. Voices that compliment each other yet powerful
in their own right, a lead guitarist who takes the band to another
whole new dimension when he embarks on his rock solos - especially
in live performances - and a man at the back multi tasking (Gafyn
fulfilling every requirement of the rhythm section single-handedly),
that's what you're treated to with Fred's House. The appeal of Fred's
House is in their ability to write about everyday life through uncomplicated
lyrics with a folk, pop, blues, rock, bit of everything vibe, leaving
you singing, dancing and feeling good whatever your thing. Lorna M |
