Take four San Francisco kicking ass first class musicians in love with The Beatles, The Rollings Stones. The Kinks, The Who and many other on the same league and you get Magic Christian.
The immortal Cyril Jordan ( of The Flaming Groovies), on lead guitar and vocals, the supersolid Praire Prince ( of The Tubes ) on drums , collector and indipendent record man Alec Paleo, tough on bass guitar, the veritable voice of Paul Kopf and the skillful Joel Jaffe on 2nd guitar, piano, harmonium who enginereed and produced the recordings put together the best original sixties oriented music since the British Invasion and still they sound absolutely contemporay. All the credits go their love of their roots and to the in depth knowledge of that musical language. Listen to “Things She said “, the strong radio friendly “Too Close to Zero” and you will smile smile smile. Even when they approach something’s else music, as in Who’s “i Can See For Miles”, they sound great . A second cd recorded live underlines the cohesive presence of the band it’s a simple demostration that raw rock & roll is alive and well.Brilliant!
