Ever wonder what would have happened if Bob Dylan made love to the Beatles and that coupling spawned a crazy four-headed monster? Yeah, me neither.
But if Dylan did have the audacity to get John, Paul, George and Ringo sloppy drunk in order to take advantage of them, the offspring would probably sound a lot like the Redwalls (I shudder to think what the love child of Dylan and the Beatles might actually look like).
The Redwalls are four kids from the Chicago suburb of Deerfield who breeze through the yester-years of brit-rock like it ain’t no thing. They recorded their debut album Universal Blues in a friends’ apartment and then set off to garner tons of attention from the local music press. And thanks to their ability to sound like half of the 1960s rock ‘n’ roll scene, the Redwalls scored a major record deal. Their new album De Nova will be in stores on June 21, three days after Sir Paul McCartney turns 63.
Universal Blues is like a brit-rock and pop orgy in my head and all the biggest swingers are here! Hey, there's the Rolling Stones and the Faces. The Beatles are spending seven minutes in heaven with Bob Dylan in the closet. And has anybody seen Slow Hands? Why isn't he here? Shouldn't he be here?
Stuff to Sample: The Redwalls’ "Colorful Revolution" and "It’s Love You’re On"
