Baby Woodrose - Money For Soul
(Bad Afro) www.badafro.dk


Danish one man band Baby Woodrose gets all fleshed out and supersized on "Money for Soul", and the results are typically glorious. Founding father Lorentzo Woodrose (On Trial drummer by day) on guitar and vox is ably backed here by Riky Woodrose (also in On Trial) who's playing some kinda fucked up 4 string guitar in lieu of a bass, and Rocco Woodrose on drums. Brothers? Of the Holy Riff, yeah. Anyway, Baby Woodrose are...fuck, I want say awesome here, but I won't. What kind of self-respecting rock journalist is gonna use a square term like that? It's true, though. Let's just say that they are the ginchiest of the ginchy, top flight retro-60's shaker makers who just happen to sound exactly like a psychedelic Monster Magnet. I mean, these fuckers knock me right out with their acid-fried, hip shaking earth boogie, and all the bare-bones promise of their debut "Blows Your Mind" has come true in day-glo Technicolor and thundering stereo sound. Take whatever 60's garage rockers you want, originals or fakes, from the Sonics to the Hives, and add swirling lysergic emanations and great clouds of purple smoke. Toss in a smattering of paisley keyboards, and hand all that to Blue Cheer to muscle up into big crashing walls of monstrous fuzz. Then call up Dave Wyndorf and tell him to we're ready for him. That, babies, is what Baby Woodrose offer you here. Take it, brothers and sisters. Trade in a little money for soul- lord knows, we need all we can get these days- and experience the Super Groove of this amazing band for yourself. Best goddamn record from Denmark since King Diamond turned his crosses upside down in '82.
