MUSIC REVIEW - The Blizzard of '78

The Blizzard of ‘78 – Book of Lies

This band was raised on rock from the late ‘60’s and ‘70’s, and tries to emulate a lot of the music from that time. The songs sound a lot like Zepplin’s slower tracks mixed with some of the more poppy music from the ‘70’s, with three or four of the tracks channeling more of the bluesy / country songs by The Rolling Stones. While Blizzard of ’78 might have been highly influenced by these bands, they don’t match the quality. The songs have a fair amount of complexity to them, as saxophones, violins, and other non-‘rock’ intruments are added in, but the mixing is mediocre. The result is a noticeable lack of depth to the album, which makes it difficult to enjoy more than in mere passing.

Will I play it on my show? Not too likely. RIYL – I don’t have any thing, sorry.
