Big Jim Slade
"Pacify The Herd" 10/10
Bitter Artist/import
With a CD/LP-collection of
around 9.500 items and great connections I
pride myself in having a good eye and ear at all new and interesting
stuff that pops up. Well, lo and behold, don't ask me how this band
succeeded in releasing two outstanding albums right under my nose!
"Pacify The Herd" is Big Jim Slade's third release and I can only say
one thing - I was totally blown away!!!! OK, the name might lead the
mind astray a bit, and make you think of some big, fat and ugly
country- or blues singer. Well, forget that! Big Jim Slade is a band, a
totally mindblowingly outstanding band! To tell you the truth I have a
hard time trying to describe who they sound like, as they don't really
sound like anybody else. There's some King'x X, there's some southern
rock, there's some Alice In Chains and lots more. They've got great
originality, power, nice quirky arrangements, killer vocals and they're
as tight as a rat's ass! What's more surprising is that they've
produced three albums, that all deserve full score! Now, that's rare!
Well, so are Big Jim Slade! Janne
