You probably don't think of Motorhead's Lemmy in the same way as you
think of Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley and Buddy Holly (even though you
should; he's every bit as much a legend in our eyes) but this CD could
change all that.
On this apparently untitled CD (there's no title anywhere on our copy),
Lemmy, Slim Jim Phantom and Danny B. Harvey play tribute to some of the
legends of rock'n'roll. And they do it with a vintage sound; not with a
modern Motorhead twist. In other words, except for the fact that it's
obviously Lemmy singing, these tunes sound almost exactly as they did
when they were originally recorded way back when.
The first tune, "Big River," is instantly recognizable as a Johnny Cash
cover. The rest of the CD is more of the same. "Not Fade Away" and the
many other Buddy Holly tunes on this CD sound the way Buddy Holly would
have recorded them back in the '50s - not the way Lemmy et al could have
recorded them in 1999 with the vast difference in studio and instrument
technology. Only the last tune, "Heartbreak Hotel" is somewhat
surprising and then only because it's an instrumental and not a vocal
version. (Oh, yeah - and Lemmy's intro of "How's it fuckin' start?" at
the beginning of "Peggy Sue Got Married" is a little anachronistic,
too).
But that attention to keeping it classic is all part of the charm. This
CD is a loving tribute to music that Lemmy, Slim Jim and Danny obviously
keep close to their heart. It's not for those who want their music
loud, fast and nothing else but - for fans of music of all types - it's a
delightfully nostalgic and outrageously quaint celebration of the early
days of rock'n'roll.
On this CD, Lemmy handles vocals, acoustic guitar and harmonica; Slim
Jim Phantom offers backing vocals, drums and percussion; Danny B. Harvey
plays electric guitar, keyboards and bass.

Probablemente no pienses en Motorhead's Lemmy de la misma manera que
piensas en Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley y Buddy Holly (aunque deberías
hacerlo; es una leyenda a nuestros ojos) pero este CD podría cambiar
todo eso.
En este CD aparentemente sin título (no hay ningún título en nuestra
copia), Lemmy, Slim Jim Phantom y Danny B. Harvey hacen un tributo a
algunas de las leyendas del rock'n'roll. Y lo hacen con un sonido
vintage; no con un giro moderno de Motorhead. En otras palabras, excepto
por el hecho de que es obviamente el canto de Lemmy, estas melodías
suenan casi exactamente igual que cuando fueron grabadas originalmente
hace mucho tiempo.
La primera canción, "Big River", se reconoce instantáneamente como una
portada de Johnny Cash. El resto del CD es más de lo mismo. "Not Fade
Away" y las muchas otras canciones de Buddy Holly en este CD suenan como
Buddy Holly las habría grabado en los años 50 - no como Lemmy et al
podrían haberlas grabado en 1999 con la gran diferencia en tecnología de
estudio e instrumentos. Sólo la última canción, "Heartbreak Hotel", es
un poco sorprendente y sólo porque es una versión instrumental y no
vocal. (Oh, sí - y la introducción de Lemmy de "How's it fuckin' start?
al principio de "Peggy Sue Got Married" es un poco anacrónico, también).
Pero esa atención a mantenerlo clásico es parte del encanto. Este CD es
un amoroso tributo a la música que Lemmy, Slim Jim y Danny obviamente
mantienen cerca de su corazón. No es para aquellos que quieren que su
música sea alta, rápida y nada más que - para los fanáticos de la música
de todo tipo - es una celebración deliciosamente nostálgica y
escandalosamente pintoresca de los primeros días del rock'n'roll.
En este CD, Lemmy maneja voz, guitarra acústica y armónica; Slim Jim
Phantom ofrece coros, batería y percusión; Danny B. Harvey toca guitarra
eléctrica, teclados y bajo.
