More Dynamic to Bon Scott

"Most of the songs on this complete sessions collection were also on an excellent album called Livestock. Taken as a group, they show good range of both music and emotion, from trippy and expansive orchestral moments to earthy and melodic gems. One of the songs with a chorus of "Young Farmers Festival" would simply not leave my head, the tune was so catchy, but it is the deeper tracks and contemplations which are the real attraction here. "The Race" at times has a bluesy feel, but it eases into a beat which is far from sad. "Summerville" has a tight strut and swagger to it which Bon would later refine, while tracks like "Jupiter's Landscape" and "Grand Canyon Suites" are wide and symphonic. Listeners will find impressive range here, and they need not be a fan of Bon to appreciate it. AC/DC fans looking to uncover hard rock nuggets will not find them here, but I also don't think they will be disappointed. *As a side note, I remember a very early AC/DC song that only came on a special edition record years ago. It was called "Love Story" or something, with Bon gently crooning the chorus, "Oh Jean...". Looking back on it, I realize it was a real bridge between the music of Bon with Fraternity, and his many memorable AC/DC compositions."
