All groove and move,

This review is from: Dial W for Watkins (Audio CD)
My introduction to Geriant Watkins was as the opening act for Nick Lowe's current tour. What a find! This was the best pairing with Lowe I have ever seen. I bought this CD right at the show because I wanted to have this music around. Watkins has been around on work by others that I have long listened to, like Lowe and Dave Edmunds. But I find I can't get enough of this CD now. It fits many moods with its pulsing rhythms and charming and sometimes clever lyrics. It's just plain likable music, original and somehow familiar at the same time. Watkins' keys are fantastic, though they were even better in concert.

Nick Lowe's hero,
By
This review is from: Dial W for Watkins (Audio CD)
Professor Longhair? Jerry Lee Lewis? Fats Domino? Who is this Welshman who sounds like Roy Orbison except when he sounds like Nick Drake? Geraint (GARE ent) Watkins has played with Nick Lowe, Dave Edmunds, Van Morrison and Paul McCartney on a regular basis. Nick Lowe is currently touring to promote this album (no kidding). Watkins is an accomplished accordionist and keyboard player who also plays a demon slide guitar and alternates between the tenderest of love songs ("Only a Rose" "Two Rocks") and the rowdiest of Beale Street R&B ("Turn that Chicken Down").
No-one sounds quite like this man or mixes so many styles and genres so freely. If you're familiar with him you haven't read this review--you've already ordered the CD. If you're not familiar with him, take a chance (for less than $20 we're not talking a big chance, are we?) on hearing something you'll never hear on the radio that will make you grin all night.

Geraint Watkins makes great soul and pop music!,
This review is from: Dial W for Watkins (Audio CD)
Wow. This release has everything. Good soul music. Tunes such as 'Blessed With Happiness', 'Soldier of Love' and 'Bring me the head..' are stunners. What a cover (Louis Prima style) of Brian Wilson's 'Heroes and Villians'! If you like Nick Lowe's recent work - this is a must have. Geraint has played on Nicks last three records and Nick and band return the favor. Soul record of the year! Give it a try. Works well on my radio show, "Sound Of Music".
