Album info
THE LAST FOURFATHERS is unarguably the best set of British rock'n'roll (not to mention garage punk, psych, mod soul and general Hammond-fuelled frenzy) of the past 20 years. For once, objectivity don't come into it. What would you match it against, anyhow? The Stone Roses' debut? Don't make me laff! Oasis's first album? Oh, pleeze! As you're no doubt aware, there are a multitude of records which are costly to track down, a significant percentage of which, musically speakin', simply ain't worth the vinyl they're cut on. However, the Kentish lads' third magnum opus, originally released to little or no mainstream acclaim by the band's Own Up label during 1985, is a different kettle of frogspawn entirely. That's why you can currently expect to pay around £100 for a pristine vinyl example, or even part with up to £50 for a copy of the band's own CD reissue from the early 90s.
mpeccably produced by ex-Milkshake Russell Wilkins, 'Fourfathers finds Graham Day's paint-strippingly soulful vocals and lysergic guitar facing-off against Jamie Taylor's incisive, irresistibly pumping Hammond grooves, over the rock solid yet fluid drive of bassist Alan Crockford and drummer Johnny Symons.
Kicking off with the relentlessly funky Nobody Wants Your Love (Graham's only co-write with fellow Medway Delta mensch Billy Childish), 'Fourfathers takes the listener on a trip which still reflects an exciting alternative reality for homegrown rock'n'roll. One wherein the Small Faces, The Pink Floyd, 60s soul, the Jimi Hendrix Experience's Smash Hits (in mono, natch), the Pretty Things, the first two Nice albums and the Crazy World of Arthur Brown are unassailable talismans, as is the right to dance yer legs off.
In fact, 'Fourfathers remains the perfect antidote to the outright non-grooviness of modern 'white boy' music, by proving that 'vanilla' hipsters can, indeed, sing the blues (not to mention some of the greens, and a bit of purple, too).
