CALICO TEARS review


Dedicated to questioning the authority, and authenticity, of the mainstream slick, sterilized, over-produced music mill, Mike Zabaroff's cd, Calico Tears, is a rip it up, balls to the wall rock and roll extravaganza with a British accent. This music brings you back, if you are my age, to when jeans and jean jackets were our uniform. A veritable time capsule which reminds you when rock and roll was fast, furious, the drummer drove and the electric guitar was in its culture rattling magnificence, amplifying all the joy and chaos and rebellion of youth.

This cd is a joy from its opener Moving Target. Here as throughout the electric guitar in all its not so subtle phallic glory is on display in a way that reminds us why and how it made rock and roll possible in the first place. Oh god, I'm tripping. This cd comes up through your femurs. This is joyful, goodtime rock and roll from a bar/dance band on steroids. The vocals are ernest and expressive and harken back to Sleepy John, Pete Seeger, Dylan, Al Kooper and Leonard Cohen - if they had been from East London.

The energy of this project takes your breath away. It moves at 200 miles per hour with its hair on fire. Everything But You, like all the songs on this disc, is very personal. Mike Zabaroff is a singer songwriter in the old school vein, which suits me down to the ground. You can tell he writes what he knows even if sometimes with a poets sense instead of a lyricist. But who cares? You got it.

Party Piece is one of my personal favorites and I feel sure it will become a party stomping, booty shaking favorite with most listeners with its unbound, wild and catchy hooks. These are songs of pathos or power, lyrics deep or playful or cheeky, clever or carnival. Something Like That is the only ballad of the 10 tunes. Here we have Mike in his folk/rock, bar/dance band frenzy tamed for a moment, not quite drowning in his tears so much as meditating, while still seeing the bright side. It struck me as a love letter, never mailed, he wrote in his diary.

This is a significant cd. Listen to it and I am not just saying that because I am a rabid Mike Zabaroff fan either.
