Our Take

COCKNEY REBEL's Cavaliers: An Anthology 1973-1974 is a delightful trip down memory lane, showcasing the band's eclectic mix of glam rock, art rock, and even hints of prog. Frontman Steve Harley's distinctive vocals shine through on tracks like "Judy Teen" and "Cavaliers", showcasing his unique storytelling ability and theatrical flair.

The band's use of strings and saxophones adds a touch of sophistication to their sound, elevating them above your average rock band. However, at times the arrangements can feel a bit overindulgent, with some tracks dragging on longer than necessary.

One highlight of the album is the hauntingly beautiful ballad "Sebastian", which shows a more vulnerable side to Harley's songwriting. The juxtaposition of this track with the more bombastic numbers on the album creates a nice balance and keeps things interesting.

Overall, COCKNEY REBEL's Cavaliers: An Anthology 1973-1974 is a fascinating snapshot of a band at the height of their creative powers. While not every track is a hit, the album as a whole is a must-listen for fans of 70s rock music. So grab your feather boa, crank up the volume, and let COCKNEY REBEL take you on a wild ride through the golden age of rock 'n' roll. Cheers, darlings!

The album was a critical and commercial success, showcasing Hill's extraordinary talent as a songwriter and performer. Cockney Rebel's music is a blend of rock, glam, and pop, with hints of theatricality thrown in for good measure. Hill's lyrics are witty and thought-provoking, exploring themes of love, loss, and the human condition with a depth and complexity that few artists can match. One thing that sets Cockney Rebel apart from other bands of the era is their willingness to experiment and push boundaries. From lush orchestrations to intricate vocal harmonies, their music is always surprising and innovative, keeping fans on their toes. Over the years, Cockney Rebel has released a string of successful albums, including the classic "The Psychomodo" and the underrated gem "The Best Years of Our Lives."

In a world full of cookie-cutter pop stars and manufactured bands, Cockney Rebel stands out as a true original, a band that continues to defy expectations and enchant audiences with their unforgettable music. With Dave Hill at the helm, the future looks bright for this British music legend.
