I pushed out my review of
Tooth & Nail so that they would have two songs out instead of one. It still
feels hard to review them with only two.
They are still a real
band, with several dates scheduled. They simply aren't focusing on recording
right now. I am reviewing them anyway because I reviewed Daniel Pearson a long
time ago (he was number 19). I can't keep track of everyone, but Pearson has
stayed on my radar, and when I saw he had a new project I wanted to support
that.
And I like those two
songs. There is a gritty blues feel to them where it makes sense when I see the
band will be playing in Manchester. In addition, if I think about Pearson, there is a force and groove to
the Tooth & Nail songs that is different. They remind me how collaborations
can bring out different sides of people, and different songs. Drummer Mike
Neilson and Pearson appear to be a good fit.
Some of my praise for
them is anticipation; I don't know that I will ever be in England and able to see them play, or that they will
come here. They may record more songs.
If they don't, there are
still these two. If I don't see them play, others will. Sometimes it is simply good
to remember that there is good music happening all over the world. That constant
is one of the joys of life.
That's a nice thing to
remember as I post a review for band #451.
