5.0 out of 5 stars Kim Mitchell is alive and well!, February 23, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Akimbo Alogo (Audio CD)

It's a shame that the only Kim Mitchell song that was heard south of Buffalo, Detroit, or other states along the Canadian Border was "Go For Soda". This song is classic Kim, but there are so many other great songs and albums that he's done since the release of akimbo alogo in 1984. This album is Kim at his best, but I also recommend Rockland, his only US album, Aural Fixations, Itch and his new album Kimosabe. It's a shame that Amazon.com and other US record stores do not have more of his albums in stock.

5.0 out of 5 stars why isn't this available?!!!!, June 23, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Akimbo Alogo (Audio CD)

I first heard him opening for Jethro Tull on the "A" tour, and then heard him, as most fans did, through the Max Webster collaboration with Rush on "Battlescar". A couple of years later I heard "Go for Soda" on the radio. Bought the thing on tape and immediately loved it. The songs run from the out and out rockers ("Go for Soda", "Lager and Ale" (he seems to have a thing for beverages), and "Rumour Has It") to the sweet power ballads (All We Are), and everywhere in between. Now I'm looking for it on CD and can't find the damned thing.
His band smokes on this, the drummer in particular. Kim's guit playing is as good, if not better than most, but not overbearing, like some. The lyrics are wry, funny, and somewhat articulate.
This is a fun disc for anyone who likes (Diamond Dave)Van Halen, Primus, Rush, Aerosmith, Ted Nugent, or anyone who just wants to play it LOUD and have some fun.
PLEASE RELEASE THIS ON A DOMESTIC CD!!!!

Great album by a great artist. Kim Mitchell, in my book, is one of the best singer/song writer/musicians to lay it down. If you're looking for an artist who can set the mood, lay down the blues or rock the house, I highly recommend this album and suggest a look into his other works.
