The majestic Tesla, who for me were always alterno-metal without realising it, emerge with a breezy acoustic collection of stirring numbers for quiet summer evenings. From the mercurial 'Caught Up In A Dream', the beautiful '2nd Street', and the magic 'Better Off Without You', Tesla bring tears and smiles and so many emotions in between. Lyrically perfect, and always eloquent, they breathe fresh air into cover versions, yet always maintain an element of rawness, naturally in those gravel vocals which enable the cuts to exist as almosy sleazy in their form. Their cover of the Climax Blues Band's 'I Love You' a fitting and emotionally charged example of Tesla at their most sublime. Tuesday, 26 July 2011
