Review
One of the '80s most striking debuts, Shakespeare Alabama, the first album from this Leicester, England, quintet is filled with soaring guitar epics, complemented by the powerful vocals and provocative lyrics of frontman John Butler and expertly produced by Chris Kimsey. Heavily influenced by the same jangly folk-rock (Byrds, Buffalo Springfield, etc.) that helped fuel R.E.M. and other alternative darlings, Butler and his bandmates opted for clarity instead of navel-gazing, creating anthemic tunes like 'All the Myths on Sunday' and 'Bell of Hope', which sounded like instant classics and considered appropriately big topics like religion and history. This reissue of the 1989 original release has become a sought-after item among fans who recognized greatness when they heard it. EMI. 2005.Digitally Remastered and Revamped Edition of Diesel Park West's Debut Album. When it was Originally Released in 1989, "Shakespeare Alabama" Felt Like an Instant Classic; A Tour-de-force of Anthemic Songwriting featuring John Butler's Passionate Vocals. Despite Widespread Critical Acclaim, it Failed to Catch on with the General Public. This "Special Edition" Has Been Retooled and Now Sounds Closer to How the Group Intended it to Be. It's Amazing Power is Evidenced in the Three Opening Songs "Like Princes Do", "All the Myths on Sunday" and "Bell of Hope" for Powerful Rock and Roll!.
