Command Performance

2015 release, their first for five years and something of a real statement of intent from a man and his band. On Command Performance, they hit new peaks of performance and showcasing not only Tav's usual selection of the obscure and the well-known from the blues palette but an amazingly broad selection of new original material as well. No resting on laurels either as the album sees the Panther Burns dabble in many new and exciting stylistic adventures, just dig the almost Motown soul of album opener 'Breakaway' or the Dylanesque bottleneck shuffle and political bite of 'Whistle Blower'. There is all sorts going on here, a bit of Mediterranean shuffle, some surf guitars, a dabble into country and Americana, a touch of 50's rockabilly, some classic garage rock'n'roll beat, one song has an almost James Bond mystery theme to it, there is even a rhumba !! All in all Command Performance is a stunningly varied album and astonishingly good fun with real edge to it. On the reverse of this info sheet Tav himself talks more about all of the songs. While his contemporaries fade into history, Tav Falco is still out there, a man with something to say and some serious rock 'n' rolling to be done, no nostalgia trip just raw vital music for now.
