First Child in Israel? Das wärs ja noch. Aber wer weiß, denn offensichtlich sind die Israelis auch auf den Geschmack gekommen, wie man dem folgenden Review entnehmen kann:
+++ NEW Reviews "QUEEN OF HEARTS"+++ DMME.NET - CLASSIC ROCK AND BEYOND / Israel
Clap your hands and shout out Devil! That's what's rock 'n' roll about. The awesome threesome from Deutschland rub all the right places.
Doro Pesch once admitted to being fan of Marc Bolan but she never followed the glam route - unlike her compatriot Cat The Cat who throws in some Suzi Quatro for good bass-wielding measure and lends the "power trio" term a new slant. And do the gal and her two boys rock! The title track cuts in with heavy yet sparse rhythm and infectious riff that's lassoing like a lace around your ears with a little hint of rockabilly hiding in the shade; note the Hank Marvin-like twang of "Gambler" which nails it where it gets with a slide guitar, before the "Every Bullet" acoustic texture hits the soft spot. And that's only the start of one wonderful album which ropes in the songwriting talents of Mary-Susan Applegate whose clientele lists Celine Dion.
Fortunately, there's nothing diva-esque about the German singer doing a country rock anguish on "Face In The Mirror", which can easily be converted by remixers into a dancefloor sweep or orchestral swipe, after driving the bunch into ZEP territory on crunchy "Bones" and bluesy "Don't Mess Around" that gains funky grit as it progresses. Meanwhile, "Gypsy Woman" sounds like a surefire pop hit and the raga-tinged "Back At Home" comes forth anthemic-way. Cat The Cat's so endearing in the girlish "Bye, Bye My Baby" that you feel obliged to apply for the date with the lady. FIRST CHILD have all the makings of international stars.
Na, klingt das begeistert? Also warten wir doch mal auf das erste Konzert in Nahost.
