Little
Caesar – Redemption
Grind That Axe Records
www.rockcandyrecords.com
Rating: B-
Remember that band that had the MTV
hit with the Aretha remake of “Chain Chain Chain”? They rocked. What
ever happened to them? They were called Little Caesar and they kicked
ass but they refused to play the corporate games and dress funny, tease
their hair and look like fags. The result? They were forgotten about.
Now, they are back as one of the debut
records on Grind That Axe Records. They still sound more like Molly
Hatchet than Warrant but hell, that’s a good thing. Just like before,
the coolest songs are remakes. “Every Picture Tells a Story” is meshed
with the Stones “Happy” and LC takes on Joni Mitchell with a rousing
rendition of the classic “Woodstock.” As far as their own material goes
the winners are “Just Like a Woman,” “Real Rock Drive,” “Sick and Tired”
and “Same Old Story.”
This band would rock your socks off in
a bar or small club. Now that they are back together that wish could
become a reality. Check this one out for “Woodstock” alone.
