Formed by Tesla members Jeff Keith (vocals) and Tommy Skeoch (guitars), this is ultra cool bluesy hard rock of typically memorable, soulful tunes. Opener 'Freaked' rumbles in like Crue, but 'Four Leaf Clover' is a level-headed slo-burner which melts into the beautiful 'Got A New Life', which really showcases the wondrous talent of these guys and explains as to why Tesla are so cool. This huge track is pure sleaze with a catchy chorus, although the initial chug of 'No Show' suggests Bar 7 are anything but a light weight and cheery rock band. 'No Show' is a sticky sweet rocker, in contrast 'Love Is Such' makes a move like a feline lover.
There's no telling where Bar 7 are going with their lush sound. This is no mere exercise of ego for Keith and Skeoch, but instead a big sounding, swaying and breezy hard rock record. Probably just a one off but another of those must-hear records that caters for every mood.
7.5/10
