3.0 out of 5 stars A bit of a disappointment, October 13, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Under the Spell (Audio CD)

I've had the pleasure of both meeting Dave Hole in person and seeing him perform live. I decided to skip the two shows in Chicago this past month, though, as this release soured me a bit on him. Dave Hole, like many artists, loses a bit with each release. The smoke and fire of his first two releases just isn't there anymore. Each release is of lesser quality than the one before it. I'm afraid the next one will be acoustic. If you're a true Dave Hole fan, this one can find a spot in the collection. For first time buyers, however, check out the searing "Short Fuse Blues" and "Working Overtime".

This album isn't as "in your face" as some of his other work. Do we need the same album repeated over and over? Enjoy the diversity or just put the first album on and set your CD player for repeat play!! Let the man explore a bit.

4.0 out of 5 stars Top quality blues rock from a highly underrated player, July 18, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Under the Spell (Audio CD)

Dave Hole is Australian and unfortunately not well known, which is a pity because he is one of the best blues and slide guitar players in the world.

All of his albums are good, and this one is no exception.

If you ever have a chance to see him, and I believe that he is on tour in the Europe and the States in July / Sept, you will not be disappointed. Great player, great show.
