The Greenhornes - ****
woensdag 10 november 2010
They revel in their retro-rock genre with mellifluous joie de vivre.
Innovation is overrated, or so you imagine The Greenhornes would have us think. Certainly, based on the evidence of the 12 pocket battleship essays on ****, the Cincinnati combo’s fourth album in a decade (and first for eight years), their obvious predilection for classic garage rock, R&B and British Invasion guitar pop would have us believe that amplified rock’n’roll music peaked in 1966. Stuck in a time warp they may be, but singer-guitarist Craig Fox, drummer Patrick Keeler and bassist Jack Lawrence (the latter pair better known as the rhythm section in Jack White’s Raconteurs – Lawrence also plays with White in The Dead Weather), revel in their chosen genre with such mellifluous joie de vivre that it’s hard to deny them their retrospective orientation.
