Scott West (Sex On Sunday)

SEX ON SUNDAY CD REVIEW

I'm not a rocker by any means, however, I occasionally enjoy a soft-rock sound that carries a beat and a rhythm that invites you to sit on the back porch with the band and comfortably groove to their sound without being thrown, sonic-boom style, into the adjacent hood. Sex on Sunday features nine songs that stand up well against the 80's, 90's and the current crop of rock/pop tunes and invite you to that comfortable back porch, where there's some shaking on the floor boards as well.

Scott West sings many of his compositions with a boy-next-door feeling of accessibility and easily reaches all the notes. He allows you to comfortably buy-in to the message and then allows you to be haunted by the lyrics when his vocals are suddenly turned off. Each song is unique in its own understated way and is clearly underscored by the collaborative talents of guitarist Timmy Barnes, guitarist/vocalist Frank Hannon, and bassist's Brian Wheat and Gabe Nelson.

Sex on Sunday has the requisite energy, varying rhythm, lyrical diversity, and consistent harmonies that when the parts are added up, it's nothing less than a first-rate groove fest.

There are some easy teasing beats like "I Could Never Go For You" or infectious, almost haunting renditions such as "Standing On the Moon (With an outstanding Space Odyssey musical introduction)." All of the lyrics come to you easily and many stay with you for a good long time. There are some impressive orchestrated set-ups to the song lists on this album, great tingling of the ivories, and some jammin' guitar work. This is a polished CD with a vintage British (think Beatles) influence. The songs are catchy, clever and I predict their next venture into the studio will bring them overdue fame and fortune.
