From the opening drum beat, to the very end of this album, Steve Conte & the Crazy Truth have you by the balls, and they know it!
It's all good, it sounds just 'right'..it's how records should be made..pure & true!
Steve Conte knows how to put a song together, and he’s backed by some Of New York’s finest…a winning combination. ‘This is the End’ starts the action and is a great rock n roll number, played rough and ready. Don’t confuse rough & ready with sloppy though…there’s nothing sloppy about this performance at all. It will kick your ass!
‘Texas T’, as I mentioned earlier, ‘got you by the balls..’ a sleazy look at the sleazy side of New York nightlife…’ I found religion tonight’…indeed! Mid-tempo’d and fired up with a nice twist on the guitar tones, Conte manages once again to keep you on the edge of your seats, and doesn’t let up for one minute with the great ‘The Goods Are Odd’, which ups the ante one more notch..high-powered guitar driven and great structure make this a sure fired crowd pleaser.
‘The Truth Ain’t Pretty’ starts with one of the neatest lines I’ve heard…’ I’m always putting the last things first, that’s why I’m starting out with the second verse’…this is the track playing right now…and it’s a masterpiece in songwriting. If this one doesn’t get your heart racing, then buddy, you’re dead already!
The power-pop-punkiness of ‘Strumpet Hearted Monkey Girl’ is catchy, and just where do you come up with a title like that? Once again, it’s back to the sheer quality of Conte’s Playing on ‘Highness’, reminiscent of early Aerosmith in both delivery and vocal. This album is a reminder that rock n roll is still alive and kickin'!
The album to get is right here, the truth is crazy, this is the crazy truth…go get it!!
