Tesla Forever More Tesla Electric Co Following the demise of the hair band era in the early 90’s
it was a miracle that any would find their way back to the frontlines of rock…
or so the critics would have you think. Perhaps the most underestimated
generation in rock history these guys, the majority of which bled for their
right to live in the spotlight had something special to offer the world;
TALENT! Few saw past the hair and make up to realize this but with so many
artists from that generation on the rise again it is now becoming much clearer.
One mega contribution to the cause was and is The guys have returned with their first full length release
since 2004’s Into The Now. Following
a successful bout with two covers CD’s they are once again ready to incorporate
yet another exiting chapter in the legacy of their sound. Forever More is a stellar release that encompasses everything you
might expect from such a gifted band of musicians. It’s heavy rockin, melodic,
passionate, and balls out bluesy from start to finish. The years have
definitely been kind to these guys and with chemistry as solid as this it really
was no surprise that this record would be a hit. Being that this is the first
release to feature new guitarist Dave Rude I wondered how they’re sound might
be affected, but truth be told, Mr. Rude is such a perfect match that the tried
and true sound of Tesla remains remarkably intact. Vocalist Jeff Keith is nails
every note and while some of his peers may be singing in a lower key these days
his pipes are in prime condition. The same can also be said for guitarist Frank
Hannon whose bluesy entourage shines wonderfully in each and every cut. Forever More is twelve tracks of perfection on
every front. Check out the patriotic “Pvt. Ledbetter” in which they show
appreciation for our troops fighting in the -Priest |
