Cone is a New York native and has been a member of several prominent bands in his years of making music. After relocating to the desert, Cone built a studio and started writing his own brand of metal, forged in the classic European tradition of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal legends such as Iron Maiden Saxon, Accept and Motorhead to name but a few. His mix or power metal/ progressive hard rock is tempered with his own street-smart style picked up from his days of playing the dark, seedy ...

In all truth, Play Like a Girl is the next Fanny LP long after the group's demise. June and Jean Millington were founding members of that ensemble, and ye olde group has been under an interesting mis-retrospective of hype from some quarters, as is this disc, so let's explore both the good and the bad of that. I've got the time, and you need a break from the standard all-encompassing "Hey, this is pretty damn good!" critiquing. And maybe I'll be able to avoid the firestorm that erupted from the Rural Rhythms label when I critiqued Mike Scott's latest in less than worshipful fashion…though, honestly, I loves me a good rhubarb regardless.

Play is indeed a solid rock and roll / mellow rock release from two women who have been in the biz since dinosaurs roamed the Earth, and their history, and our sanity, deserves a bit more grounded response than the likes of what Davids Fricke and Bowie are creating. Fricke is one of those "best critics money can buy" guys (which numbers Dave Marsh, Robert Christgau and others among its disreputable coterie) and, not long ago, in Rolling Stone if I 'member correctly, he mega-hyped Rhino's Hand-Made re-issue Fanny box set as on the order of the second coming of Bach or something similar (Fricke's work is forgettable, so I purge my lobes whenever I accidentally read him, but you can probably find his tripe somewhere on the Web to verify my claim here). Fanny was gritty, sassy, accomplished, but far from inhabiting the Valhallic estate Fricke gushes about. I have all their LPs (but not that cool Rhino box with tons o' goodies, dammit!) and was especially tickled when Patti Quatro, sister to Suzi, signed up for service at the far end of the combo's career just as bro Michael was flop-diving from possible inclusion in the prog wunderkind to horrific disco embarrassment. Those were the days, hm?

If you were hip to Fanny back in the 60s, you know they were one of the first all-girl bands to be label-signed, accompanied sooner or later by Deadly Nightshade, Isis, and too few others frankly. This small "movement" eventually led into the bizarre over-the-top uber-feminist Olivia label, with which the Millingtons associated and which collapsed ingloriously, mostly due to truly wretched product, Cris Williamson one of the few exceptions (though more than one of her LPs was quite ignorable). Fanny deserved better reception than they got, but their sound was pretty much Chuck Berry based, solid, professional, entertaining (especially in the lyrics department) but by no means exceptional. Nonetheless, Bowie refers the group as "one of the finest fucking rock bands of their time"; thus, we see why he occasionally needs a little vacation in the local sanitarium. After their breakup, Nicki Barclay and June Millington both issued solo LPs. Neither went anywhere: as the saying goes, they shipped gold and returned platinum. Thus, the group and its members faded from sight and memory. The same thing happened with Terry Garthwaite and Toni Brown from the popular Joy of Cooking band.

With Play, the Fanny ensemble is reborn…minus the other two of course. At times, as in All the Children, the disc displays a strong flavor of Heart, though there's also a good deal of the less thunderous side of Joan Jett and Lita Ford dispersed here, there, and everywhere, especially in the rhythms. The ladies are looking a good deal younger than their years and appear to have the same ol' spirit while the music, while not quite as vital as in, say, Fanny's Charity Ball, is still pretty vigorous. Jean and June always had better chops and more promise than, oh, Cindy Bullens and Alice Stuart, and the ghost of their past runs strongly through this outing. June still knows her way around a lead line and peppers quite a few in the repertoire.

So, yes, this is indeed Fanny, and if you were/are a fan of the group as I am, then you can't miss it, but, no, they were by no means of status with the biggies of their heyday and still aren't—just a good, solid, middle of the road, enjoyable rock and roll outfit.

One Spark is set to release on the 23rd of August as the debut solo album from Gabe Dixon. Somewhat prolific in his career, he formed The Gabe Dixon Band, a quartet at the time, from Miami, in 1998 and has since went on to play for some time with Paul McCarneys band. In late 2010 he was then drafted to play with Supertramp, the British rock band who formed at the end of the 60s.

In producing this solo debut Gabe recruited several credible artists, writers and producers to collaborate with him including songwriter Tia Sillers, country/bluegrass icon Alison Krauss for 'Even The Rain' and Grammy Award winner Dan Wilson on “My Favorite”. An impressive entourage and degree of experience indeed, one which would theoretically suggest this debut solo album would reflect such experience. But this is not the case.

'One Spark' is Gabe's attempt at mature piano-pop, a genre populated with heavy-weight contenders like Elton John, The Beautiful South and Coldplay. Unlike anything from these heavy-weights, this record is pungent with teenage angst spilling into unbridled Cliché comprised almost entirely of one dimensional love songs causing each track flow into each other, giving the definition between tracks eminence only by a chintzy venture into reggae, clearly influenced by Sting and The Police, with 'Running On Fumes'.

One Spark has been co-written with former members of Deacon Blue and Snow Patrol. The influence from which is palpable. The mono-tempo throughout and choruses long-drawn on holding the last note feel both outdated and exasperating.

The album opens, putting it's best foot forward with “Strike”. The song sets the lyrical trend for the rest of the album where Gabe sings about “someone else”, each track throughout the record is about “you” and they all appear to say the same thing; “poor me, I love you”, but regardless of this solo dimensional rhetoric, it does slowly build up a picture of what Gabe Dixon himself is like.

Second song on the record 'Even The Rain' draws our expectations skyward towards a bluegrass vista being advertised as the duet with Alison Krauss. However, the song is more reminiscent of the unintelligible banality of hackneyed writing that fills love letters from teenagers; “even the rain is falling for you” ...yes, yes and even the sun shines out of your ass, cringe!

Redemption to a small degree is made on the final track 'Losing You', redemption not because the album is coming to a close but Gabe extends to the listener some deserved versatility. 'Losing You' breaks the mold of the album with some up-tempo electric guitar, more prominent drumming and cartoon spaceship sound effects, that's right, spaceship sound effects after the second chorus.

Musicianship is fair and mature but nothing especially challenging or original but some pleasant elements including a perky banjo walk throughout 'I Can See You Shine' that eventually becomes forgotten and suppressed by the lyrics.

Unimpressive throughout and completely lacks originality, possibly the result of the wide variety and amount of collaborators. Masses of collaboration often tend to draw music away from an edge towards the 'middle-of-the-road', hence, the music is left with elements of folk and pop, but not enough of either to be one or the other.

Turns out the title of Tom Waits' last all-original studio full-length, 2004's 'Real Gone,' was just a play on words. The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer has just hit back, dropping the single 'Bad as Me,' on iTunes today (Aug. 23).

Waits also revealed some bullet points concerning his upcoming release, also titled 'Bad as Me,' as well as the tracklist. The 13-song album (or 16, if you buy the deluxe edition) drops on Oct. 25 and is available for pre-order now.

Though he's been a musical chameleon over his legendary career, fans will be happy to hear that the sinister single isn't some gigantic departure. And while we might be the same kind of bad as Waits, we certainly can't claim to be anywhere near the same kind of bad-ass. Check out the tracklist and song below.
