Bio / Background
This is the third, and most recent, Spikedrivers album to feature the team of Ben Tyzack, Constance Redgrave, Maurice McElroy and sound engineer extraordinaire, Phill Brown. Like their previous two albums it was recorded virtually live, in 16 track analogue and mixed in true stereo.
The songs, plus three instrumentals, are all original with the exception of a soulful take on the Rolling Stones’ ‘No Expectations’ which owes its place to public demand.
Ain’t It Real shows just what you can do with the basic blues/folk format when you add imagination, talent, ability and a respect for the genre. A sense of fun goes a long way too and it’s here in spades. These guys obviously had a good time making this record and it comes across.
Once again Tyzack is the main singer and writer. Moody and threatening on the opening track ‘Devil’s Breath’, angry on ‘Young and Stupid’, he shows himself to be a gifted songwriter with more than one story to tell.
