A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

Popular Reviews

Back to Mystery City

Hanoi Rocks · 1 likes

5/5

I really enjoyed this album. Hadn’t heard of Hanoi Rocks prior to showing up in the generator. Had some good guitar work, saxophone, songwriting and vocals. Had a late 70s early-early 80’s vibe. They be in my radar and my playlist.

Gene Clark

5/5

I was new to Gene Clark prior to listening to this, but was pleasantly surprised when I did. This was an easy listening, good songwriting with a storytelling twist. The first song on the album opened up and I found it to have a Jimmy Buffet like sound to the vocals, followed by a Bob Dylanish vocal sound to the second sound. Many of the songs had some easy listening slide guitar sound that I felt was a little bit of a dialed down, Duane Allman tone. All in all, it is now in my playlist.
