Serpentine's album Powerful Jim is a true masterpiece that showcases the band's musical talents and creativity. From the first track to the last, the album takes the listener on a journey filled with powerful lyrics, catchy melodies, and intricate instrumentals.
The vocals are simply outstanding, with the lead singer's voice soaring effortlessly over the driving rhythms and soaring guitar riffs. The lyrics are thought-provoking and poetic, touching on themes of love, loss, and self-discovery.
The production quality is top-notch, with each instrument and vocal track coming through crystal clear. The album's sound is a perfect blend of classic rock and modern alternative, making it accessible to a wide range of music fans.
One standout track is "Broken Dreams," which starts off with a haunting piano melody and builds to a powerful crescendo of guitar and drums. Another highlight is "Fading Away," a slow-burning ballad that showcases the band's softer side.
To me Onny may not be so well known, but he has that something special in his guitar work that I can appreciate. And in that appreciate other artists guitar work. That is an amazing ability to have, to be able to do that. Some good stuff in this "Serpentine - (1969 - 1971)" 13 track mix, even if some of them are repeated, if that's what folks are listening to.
