Swag

quick delivery, great price as advertised

People that have been able to witness gilby's career as a solo artist may agree with me.This album is much better than rubber his previous work (4 years ago). In the style of "The Hangover", "Swag" keeps rock n' roll music alive...Again Teddy Andreadis and Eric Singer helped Gilby, also Stefan Adika (who worked with him in the notorious Col. Parker) appears playing bass. A great appearance is Tracii Guns, with awesome guitar work, specially in "Alien".Much more rocker than previous records, SWAG explores blues and country sounds nicely. The production and mixing is superior than the previous work (rubber) by far.The album starts with one of Gilbys best songs to date: "Alien" with very cool guitars (tracii guns on Slide Lead). Other interesting songs are "Broken Down Car" and "Warm Country Sun", both featuring Taddy Andreadis on harmonica. "Crocodile Tears" and "I'm Nobody" are good songs with classic Gilby sound. "Margarita", on the other hand explores the latin blues sound in a cool way, and "Diamond Dogs" (bowie) sound excellent.On average a Good album, worth the money if you have liked Gilby's previous work.And a good rerun of long lost rock.
