DISTRACTION
BLUES BAND SOFTEN APPROACH
Galway blues trio The Deans have built quite a presence on the live front all over Europe, but have yet to translate that success onto record. This six-pack of Gavin Dean songs is a step in the right direction, It sees them easing off the throttle on an EP that’s laid-back and less frenzied than much of their other work. The title-track and ‘Princess Of Catalonia’ have a whiff of Clapton about them; ‘I Can’t Be Saved’ has all the suavity of The Doors; and ‘This Time Of Year’ is one of the best songs Rory Gallagher never wrote. The Deans deserve to find their own niche.
