Ian Siegal
All the Rage
(Nugene Records)
★★★★
QUINTESSENTIAL rock and blues, All the Rage is intuitive, straight from the gut and confrontational, with a forgivable helping of self-pitying melancholy.
While Mickey O’Rourke doppelganger Ian Siegal’s rasping if surprisingly versatile voice is the sound signature, none of it would have come off without the admirably muscular and rigorous musicianship of Dusty Cigaar on guitar, Danny Van’t Hoff on bass and Raphael Schwiddessen on drums, who alone make this a four-star offering.
