This song samples from The White Stripes'"My Old School" and also"Breathe" from their last album, which is a bit cooler than the previous two. Now, I'm not certain why, maybe it's because they are just about the same genre and also haven't been forced into an outright business effort like The White Stripes were, however I will tell you that: These are some great songs. Anyway, this really is simply not what I will be reviewing with this debut record. Alternatively, I will discuss my absolutely love affair with all"Voodou." I am not sure if it's the song itself, that the vocals, the story behind it, and also the fact it's my favorite song by Fleetwood Mac, but I'm going to put most of that aside for the time being and simply speak about my Voodou experience.
This song starts off with what looks like a snippet at the ending of this Voodou video, but if you pause it you can hear everything and voices. When the group played with their classic"Reelin' in the Years" video years past there were several rather interesting lyrics included in the background. Therefore, it wasn't a totally smooth transition, but that undoubtedly makes me believe the band may possibly have something fresh to offer fans of their old music.
It's actually not that different from the original, and it will not have the slowed down tempo that many Voodou songs have a tendency to possess. Thus, it's absolutely worth a listen . However, in the event that you are on the lookout for a Gypsy Queen song to sing along to when you're at the fitness center, this isn't it.
"I Walk the Line" is the 2nd single from the Dark Magic Woman album, and it's my own favorite. For people that do not understand, Gypsies is a Irish punk/post-punk band that gained worldwide attention with their selftitled album back in 1996. The guitars are distorted and a little bit twisted, however it's quite exceptional as being a Gypsy Queen song.
This is my personal favorite of the 3 songs from the record, since it's a true slow ballad. The basic rhythm is just like the original, however, the lyrics turned into a bit thinner to get a Gypsy Queen song. There are some exciting things going on with the guitar solo at the ending. I am not certain what it really is, but it looks like a homage to Queen's ago, notably from the previous 10 years. The guitar solo is a droning mess occasionally, however that fits the song perfectly.
It's a fun song which do not really have a lot going on, however it has got a wonderful guitar riff that simply does not move out of style similar to the other songs on this record. The song starts out slow and creepy, and reminiscent of a puzzle train ride. The slower part would make this song you to hear at summer time, when you have the feeling that it could become very hot outside.
Black Magic Woman was a wonderful album, that reminds me a bit of this English Rose, another fantastic Gypsy Queen song. The initial recording is great, even in the event that you have not been aware about Queen earlier. The cover, featuring an image of this artist and also what,"We Have Only Just Seen," is really a superb little moment. This reissue is magnificent, although the standard is only a little lacking when compared with some of the preceding records.
