CD REVIEW: TATTERED, TORN AND WORN by David Glen Eisley

TATTERED, TORN AND WORN by David Glen Eisley 
(Ol' Boothill Records)

Ex Giuffria, Dirty White Boy, Murder's Row frontman David Glen Eisley, is back with his latest release, 'Tattered, Torn and Worn'. Along with guitarist Paul Clem Calder. Creating
a set of fourteen strong tracks that will remind many of Eisley's work with Guiffria, but with more swagger and attitude. This is hard rock at its finest and still has the commercial melodic and harmonic appeal that one expects from a superbly crafted rock record. This album is 100% prime rock music without any filler and is sure to please even the most discriminating rock music palates. Some stuff on this album will make the hair on your neck stand up. Hard, heavy and soulful, often at the same time, and I'm not sure his voice has ever sounded better on record. "Y.M.I. (At All)" is the album opener which kicks things off with Eisley's masculine and convincing vocals combined with Paul Clem Calder's adrenaline pumping guitars. Setting up what is to come with favorites for me, "Ain't No Turning Back (Floatin' In The Flood)", "Hard To Lose", "The Storm Will Come Risin'", "1964", "Devils And Diamonds" and the album's title track these are the real aces in the pack for me! 'Tattered, Torn And Worn' is one of the best, if not the finest, solo album David Glen Eisley has put out. Lyrically, musically, production, all are tight as a glove. While it might well be his finest work to date, it still retains his trademark, allowing his musical diversity to shine through. With a cohesion and flow and it promises to be a contender for 'Album of the Year'.   -Tony @ The Dedicated Rocker Society
