Excellent McCartney tribute with the joy of playing in focus

Tim Christensen and Mike Viola have one thing in common; their favorite album is Paul McCartney Ram. Therefore they went and played with the idea to build the whole album live, and when McCartney turned 70 last year, there was an opportunity to live the dream.

The Damn Crystals it-sounding backing band as we know, while the musicians Mike Viola (US) and Tracy Bonham (US) is relatively unknown in Denmark. But they add the concert so much synergy and musicality that I would call it disingenuous to describe the publication as an actual Tim Christensen solo concert.

Mike, Tracy and Tim turns to sing, but especially Mike Viola turns out to be excellent interpreter of McCartney's sometimes reckless vocal performances. Also Lars Skærbæk and Søren Koch of The Damn Crystals provides excellent vocal performances, while Tracy Bonham is a good contrast to the many male voices on stage.

Actually, there are so many vowels in time during the show, that it's hard to point to a direct protagonist, Tim remains part of a larger context where he can pull little as soloist for solidarity to give more room to the other in lydbilledet.Der is no doubt that this concert is a joint project at eye level, where the joy of playing is paramount.

It is played all around with a steady hand and a passionate excess. The concert concludes with a number of the more famous McCartney songs, so one is left with a hunger for more from Macca large backlist
