Dave Stewart - Greetings From The Gutter


En Greetings From The Gutter, Dave Stewart (la mitad de Eurythmics) mezcla buenas cantidades de rock, pop, funk y rhythm & blues.
Está acompañado por tres integrantes de Parliament/Funkadelic (Bootsy Collins, Bernie Worrell y Jerome 'Big Foot' Brailey), un conjunto de voces femeninas que incluye a Lady Miss Kier, Nona Hendryx y Siobhan Fahey; a los que se agregan notables invitados: Lou Reed, Laurie Anderson y Dave Sanborn.
Las canciones son magníficas: la groovy Heart of Stone, la irónica Tragedy Street, y las baladas Chelsea Lovers y St. Valentine's Day; e incluyen inteligentes guitarras a cargo de Stewart, simples y efectivos arreglos de cuerdas y contagiosos coros. Beautiful. ****1/2
