“From the men we ” it is a duality between music and
poetry. A compendium of parallelisms
between this musical inheritance seasoned by crudeness and elegance, anger and
sensitivity through Asturian poet Adolfo
Gustavo Pérez González vital pathway. A journey through author´s life and work, right from his country origins, born in a rural area ” Hope of
July ” with funk and góspel reminiscences and where the similarity of
origins is established between the poet and the old bluesmen. In furious “Celtic
Spells” they inquire into Celtic inheritance in Asturian tradition through
author´s verses just giving step to Antonio Machín´s recreation “Little Black
Angels “, a melancholy allegation against
racism checking the life of the
poet and his adolescence during the Spanish civil war. “Not to Nob “
describes post war time with a slide
guitar, elegant dynamics and developments
only owned by great rock bands. Soul music takes place in ” Growing
to your chest ” a tribute to the author´s first love inspired by his own
texts where the band gives proof of great versatility handling different music styles.
“Hair Trigger ”
brings back rock with a certain
seventies flavour by the hand of the organ Hammond intro, chronologically placed in poet´s
maturity in an urban environment, where
the band returns to raise the poet´s existential dichotomy. Poetry and
survival.
“Fire in the hole ” probably the most aggressive and
combative piece from the disc, through wich the injustice period lived by the poet during
that period is materialized and revealed in an industrialized world of unstable
jobs and social denunciation. In “
In to low mood ” the band takes us to a vital moment near the end, oldness where
he thinks over his own work and the lived time, rock without labels, poetical
atmosphere to the service of these reflections.
” The Boy ” based on the poem ” The Child
” it reveals the kindness of the band in a of blues rock environment, rhodes and elaborated guitars. ” Requiem
Mass ” recovers the band´s more orthodox blues inheritance in a kind of a work song wich illustrates the author´s winter of life and death. ” When you
leave ” is the final reflection from this magnificent record.
“From the men we are ” is a
conceptual work that leads us to travel through the life and work of the
Asturian poet Adolfo Gustavo Perez Gonzalez in a blues, Rock, Soul universe
from the man he was, from what he lived and from what he wrote. A portrait of a life lived half way between survival a
finest art. As far from recognition as near to genius.
An impecable third work from Blues and Decker band. From the
men who are, Gustavo Perez (voice and rhythm guitar and poet´s grandson), Ludwig
Molina (drums), Kike Cuetos (bass) and Guzmán Lanza (guitar), in wich the
Asturians, starting out from the origins
and thanks to an enormous talent both in the compositions as well as in the execution, keep on moving forward labels
and styles by doing something unique and
untransferable out of their way.
