The Beatles: Get Back. Television Film Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * * *

What is offered for commercial gain is not the full story, and quite often the full story never sees the cold light of day.

We have all seen what we believed was a cog in The Beatles story, culminating in a London roof top performance in which the ‘Fab Four’ showcased several songs that were to become part of the legend and myth of the group’s legacy; and yet what was presented, as with all edits, conflicts of interests, and trickeries of presentation, was barely even the surface of what was scratched, and as the crowds gathered, as bowler hatted men, as young girls and bemused, disgruntled police officers gathered in their masses, the idea of getting back was sold to the world.

Ringo Starr, What’s My Name. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 7/10

When everybody knows who you are it can be forgivable to question your own image of yourself, after all, we live in a world in which our online presence is deemed sacrosanct and can be embellished to show the happy side of life at all times, whilst our real life experiences are questioned and invariably sneered at, the watchful eye of others ready to step in and bring you down with a jolt just for questioning life and getting you to admit that you feel lost, that you are looking for meaning, and that you may have to ask, What’s My Name.

Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Goin’ Home. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

You don’t get much fresher than Kenny Wayne Shepherd when it comes to bringing out an album of exquisite note only a few short months after being part of the supergroup The Rides’ magnificent piece of work Can’t Get Enough. For fans of Kenny Wayne Shepherd that really shouldn’t be a surprise as Goin’ Home is an album that is delivered with the same strutting style, the same admirable honesty as you would hope to find attached to each person who signed the Declaration of Independence.
