Hi there! Steelrattus again, on the last day of his 10 day guest stint.
Now I have to tread carefully here, as Ezio is very (very!) much a favourite of Stegzy’s wife; I know that she tries to go to all of their gigs that she can. This album is actually a mix tape made by Stegzy’s wife, for Stegzy I’m assuming. It’s lovely to see the tradition of the “mixtape” alive and well, even if it is all the same band 😉
Ezio are a band named after their lead singer and main songwriter, Ezio Lunedei. There are four other members, including someone called Booga, and you can’t go wrong with someone called Booga. Hailing from Cambridge, they formed in 1990, and have eight studio albums, the most recent of which was released last year. Wikipedia tells me they have a very loyal following, despite not breaking into mainstream music.
Having listened to the handcrafted album… again, it’s not quite my thing. Sorry, this has been the running theme of the last few days. As always, YMMV. I guess I would describe it as light rock… a bit folk-y. Despite it not being quite my thing I can hear the songs are well crafted, and the lyrics are very poetic.
This is a song I liked, lyrically speaking, Accordion Girl…
Back to normal service next week, until next time…
