ROSE TATTOO "Outlaws"

ROSE TATTOO "Outlaws" 

Angry Anderson ,the voice and spirit in the latest years of Aussie rock n roll legends ROSE TATTOO has decided to enlist some new comers,although seasoned musicians in the Australian rock scene and re record some of the bands most iconic songs, their first studio album actually . Along with them we have three bonuses, a song form the early days never before released "Snow queen", "Sweet love" and the more lay down and sensitive,yet still never surfaced the light of day before "Rosetta". So what the hell, do we need another microwave oven served Rose Tattoo album, i hear some of you asking with venomous feelings...

We damn well need this album We needed to hear in our days of plastic music and confusion, some well played rock n roll boogie with fine slide guitar and the Aussie Elvis high on the  tide...His band mates died form prostate cancer, but he keep up the tradition of heartbreaking, jawbreaking songs about outlaws, losers and forgotten white collar workers, people on the dole, people who are working their hands to the bone every day, to have a drink and listen to some good rock n roll every Friday night before they go back home to their families  for an even harder weekend as fathers, husbands and all time losers.

Outlaws" is one of the most decent releases, that tries something difficult and easy at the same time, to make younger you tube rockers discover the band that along with COLD CHISEL should be big and outside Australia. Even if they don t make it again, with this album they pay  a tribute to their fallen comrades and bring smile to people like me at the other end of the globe. Thank you for all the music and the memories Mr.Anderson and co, albums like this keep us from falling when our world is crashing down.Thank you so much.
