Our Take

In the glittery, glam rock landscape of the early 70s, T. REX stood out like a sequined peacock in a crowd of pigeons. Their 1973 album "Songwriter" is a prime example of the band's cheeky, boisterous charm and undeniable swagger.

From the opening track "Tenement Lady," Marc Bolan's infectious guitar riffs and poetry-laced lyrics transport the listener to a world of glitter, boas, and platform shoes. The irresistibly catchy "Lofty Skies" showcases Bolan's ability to marry catchy hooks with dreamy, psychedelic vibes.

But it's on tracks like "Truck On (Tyke)" where T. REX truly shines, with Bolan's raspy vocals mingling perfectly with the thumping bass and infectious handclaps. The band's ability to mix lush orchestration with raw, gritty rock 'n' roll sets them apart from their contemporaries.

Sure, some may scoff at Bolan's often nonsensical lyrics and over-the-top theatrics, but it's all part of the charm. "Songwriter" is a delightful romp through the glitter-drenched streets of 70s London, with Bolan as our charismatic tour guide.

So slip on your shiniest platforms, grab a feather boa, and prepare to get lost in the infectious grooves of T. REX's "Songwriter." It may be over 40 years old, but this album still sparkles brighter than anything on today's music scene.
