The Amazing Rhythm Aces by any other name....

T D Jones | 01/09/2002

(5 out of 5 stars)

"If, like me, you feel that the Amazing Rhythm Aces haven't recorded enough albums, this is for you. Russell Smith was the main sound of the ARA so the tracks on this album have an instant familiarity and accessibility while retaining the variety for which the ARA were famous.Russell's voice lends itself well to songs of unrequited love and Your Eyes and The Boy Next Door are fine examples. To counter this Sunday Best, with it's variations on the title (act my Sunday Best; wearing Sunday Best; made my Sunday Best) is a song of requited love. As soon as he mentions the yellow sun dress with 32 buttons down the middle you know he'll remember that Sunday Best.Blue Collar Blues and American Tragedy cover the country standards of futures blighted by redundancy and war, the latter with it's Vietnam references showing how long ago these track were originally released.Southern Music plays as a standard piece of Southern blues, until you realise that he's singing about all the reasons people from the South have not to be sad and celebrate all the good things they have.With enough musical variety to keep it entertaining for its full 75 minutes, this became my most played record in 2001 as an ideal companion for car journeys and looks set to stay that way for some time yet."
