DIXON, CARL - One +2 (digitally remastered)

CONEY HATCH frontman put out his solo debut “One“ for the first time in 1993. It’s a great hard rock album with a very personal and intimate approach that showcases the Canadian at his best vocally. Hard to understand why this album did not get the attention it deserves but obviously the time back then was not the best for melodic rock music. Songs like the groovy “Hard To Leave Hard To Love“ or the ballad-like “Love Is Waiting“ are slightly reminiscent of TOM PETTY whereas the cool “Taste Of Love“ basically sounds like a hybrid of AEROSMITH and DEF LEPPARD. The album contains two bonus tracks. A pristine production which is powerful enough, too, highlights the songs pretty well. Comes with liner notes by Dave Reynolds and digitally remastered by Chris Lyne. A strong piece of music! Tracklist: 1. One Good Reason 2. Good Time To Be Bad 3. The Blood Rises 4. Taste Of Love 5.
