CD REVIEW: WHISKY FINGERS by Voodoo Circle




WHISKY FINGERS by Voodoo Circle
(AFM Records)



21st century Classic hard rock juggernauts, Voodoo Circle return with the follow-up to, 'More Than One Way Home‘, with album number four in the form of , 'Whisky Fingers'. David Readman on vocals (Pink Cream 69), Alex Beyrodt on guitars (Silent Force, ex-Sinner), Mat Sinner on bass (Sinner, Primal Fear), new members, Francesco Jovino (Primal Fear, ex-U.D.O.) on drums and  Alessandro del Vecchio on keyboards.  The new album finds the band serving up their unique style of combing vintage and contemporary rock and taking it to a whole new level.  All eleven tracks offered are tight and include all of the classic influences of hard rock, blues, ballads, and everything in between. Resulting in a powerful mix of the 70's and 80's "Deep Purple meets Whitesnake" vibe topped by rock solid production, granting perfect audibility to all instruments. Highlights include the lead off single, "Trapped In Paradise", kicking things off in rocking fashion. The bluesy swagger of, "Heartbreaking Woman", powered by Alex Beyrodt's tasty guitar playing. The awesome power ballad  "Watch and Wait (I Got My Eye on You) ", the memorable melodies of "Heart of Stone", the massive rocker "Straight Shooter " and the epic sound of the album closing, "Been Said and Done". All in all, this is a solid release! Powerful and emotional and, in my humble, opinion this is Voodoo Circle's best album to date. 'Whisky Fingers' is a no holds barred, balls to the wall, unashamed hard rock album that MUST BE PLAYED LOUD AND PROUD!! - Highly Recommended
