Tank Full of Blues

Dion

A lean, bone-dry blues record from a rock legend. Stripped of nostalgia, these tracks favor gritty trio arrangements and street-smart Bronx swagger.

January 24, 2012

A tough, unpretentious swagger that balances the weight of age with the energy of a live garage session.

Moments Worth Listening For
The title track opens with a jagged, overdriven guitar riff that immediately establishes the album's lean, no-nonsense trio aesthetic.
The transition into the spoken-word delivery of 'Bronx Poem' where the music recedes to let the grit of his lived experience take center stage.
The rhythmic interplay on 'I Read It' where the drums stay slightly behind the beat to create a heavy, swaggering pocket.
