English:

These days, German vocalist Tommy Heart is dividing his time between his two bands: FAIR WARNING and SOUL DOCTOR. The former’s latest, excellent, album was released last year, and here’s the new SOUL DOCTOR. I’ve always been a fan of FAIR WARNING, but with their latest offering, SOUL DOCTOR wins hands down.
While “For A Fistful Of Dollars”, their 2005 album, SOUL DOCTOR was heavily into rough and ready, AC/DC-like heavy rock, this new one –their 3rd- is more versatile, and leans more towards melodic rock, with lots of likenesses to AEROSMITH and BON JOVI. It’s still very powerful music, and tracks like ‘Blood Runs Cold’, ‘Laugh In The Face Of Danger’, ‘The Ocean’ (with mandolins, cello and strings) and the LED ZEPPELIN-like ‘F.A.F.O.D.’ may well be among the best tracks Heart has ever recorded with either band. The European edition is supposed to have a 10-minute LED ZEPPELIN medley as well, but this isn’t on my promo edition.
This may well be Heart’s best vocal performance as well. He certainly sounds more versatile than ever, with even touches of the mighty David Coverdale in ‘Touch Of Love’ (a song written by Glenn Hughes, Joe Lynn Turner and Stuart Smith). Excellent performance.
Definitely a winner, this album.


Nederlands:

Deze dagen verdeelt de Duitse zanger Tommy Heart zijn tijd tussen zijn bands FAIR WARNING en SOUL DOCTOR. Het uitstekende, meeste recente album van die eerste band verscheen vorig jaar, en nu is het de beurt aan de nieuwe SOUL DOCTOR. Ik ben altijd nogal een fan geweest van FAIR WARNING, maar met hun nieuwste plaat wint SOUL DOCTOR het toch.
Terwijl hun 2005-album “For A Fistful Of Dollars” SOUL DOCTOR nog sterk in de hoek zat van rauwe, AC/DC-achtige rock, is deze nieuweling (hun 3de) meer gevarieerd, en leunt hij meer aan bij melodieuze rock, met duidelijke invloeden van AEROSMITH en BON JOVI. Het is nog steeds zeer krachtige muziek, en nummers als ‘Blood Runs Cold’, ‘Laugh In The Face Of Danger’, ‘The Ocean’ (met mandoline, cello and strijkers) en het LED ZEPPELIN-achtige ‘F.A.F.O.D.’ horen wellicht bij het beste dat Heart al heeft opgenomen met eender welke band. Op de Europese editie zou ook nog een 10-minuten durende LED ZEPPELIN medley, maar die staat niet op mijn promo-editie.
Dit zou ook wel eens van de beste vocale prestaties van Heart kunnen zijn. Hij klinkt in ieder geval meer gevarieerd dan ooit, met zelf vleugjes van de machtige David Coverdale in ‘Touch Of Love’ (geschreven door Glenn Hughes, Joe Lynn Turner en Stuart Smith). Uitstekende prestatie.
Echt wel een winner, deze plaat.
