From the upcoming issue of The Continental Magazine:Pollo Del Mar – Year Of The Rooster (Self-Released) * * * * ½
To celebrate the “Year of the Rooster” (Pollo is “chicken” in Spanish), Pollo Del Mar has put together a limited edition CD featuring a whole bunch of live and radio session recordings done over the last 12-14 months. There are songs recorded in California, Japan and Belgium. On this disc you’ll find songs from their studio releases, as well as a few one-off songs and covers such as “The Cruel Seaa”, “The Bells Of St. Kahuna” and “Jack The Ripper”. My favorite is probably “The Wild, Wild West Medley, which takes a whole bunch of songs like “Apache”, “Ghost Riders”, “Good, Bad & Ugly” and mashes ‘em all together. I’m not usually a fan of long songs, or medleys, but this was done very well and had me compelled from start to finish. The sound quality is excellent throughout – even though a couple of the tracks are “ambient audience” recordings, the sound is still very good. It’s even got three videos on it – talk about value for yer money! If you are a fan of the band you will definitely want to act quick and get this before it’s too late. (www.pollodelmar.com)
