Mott Magic Live

Todd E. Carper | Edgewood, Md United States | 06/14/2003

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This 2 disc set showcases a band that rose from the ashes of a former giant. Overend Watts shines as the primary song writer and natural band leader. Morgan Fisher provides depth with colorful flourishes on organ and piano while Dale Griffin is a very strong beater of the skins. This trio rose from the ashes of the mighty Hoople, and rather than feel sorry for their misfortune (losing Ralphs and Hunter), they revel in their own identity while paying serious homage to its past. Ray Major is very solid at carrying the guitar flag vacated by Ralphs, and shines on a sterling cover of the Doors classic Love me two times which is a definite hilight. He is excellent too on old Hoople chestnuts such as All the Way to Memphis and Sweet jane (a Lou Reed Cover). Where the band really Stands out though is on their own new material such as the Great White Wail, She does it, Collision Course, Storm, By Tonite, and Love now. Nigel Benjamin Sounds like a totally new singer not overwhelmed by his predecessor's VAST shadow. Having to live up to Ian Hunter and Mick Ralphs singing skills is a tall order, and Benjamin manages to accomplish this. It is an essential purchase even though there are multiple versions of some of the songs, if only to show the consistent magic this band possessed. Much maligned by critics, this a band that deserves praise for keeping the faith and starting over. This is a worthwhile history of a band that deserved a better fate, it is a hidden gem. Grab it, it will not disappoint."
