Sleazy Records / SRCD31-45
Two years since the previous album from Pike Cavalero... It's been a long time for sure, eventhough during that gap we were lucky to get some 7" under his own name or under the name of some of the other bands in which he is involved, such as True Blue Trio. Both singles, by the way, were reviewed by yours truly in this very same blog back in February 2015 and February 2016.
Probably this brand new "Sin miedo a volar" is the record coming from this artist with the biggest mix of styles, showing as the title says, that he has no fear to fly, to take risks.
Just listen to the record and you'll see that it's a Rockabilly one, style in which Pike Cavalero is one of the best singers we can listen to nowadays. Rockabilly is for sure there in more or less quantity in the 12 songs included, being the most evident examples "Cuando caiga la noche", "Me siento azul" or "Ahora que lo tienes". But, more than that, he has given some Country feel to "Rumbo a lo incierto"; has had no fear to give a Pop touch (in the better possible meaning of the term Pop) to songs such as "Sin miedo a volar" or "Apuntar alto"; a little bit of Spanish 1960's Rock'n'Roll feeling can be found in "Única es"; and top class Doo Wop shines in "Mi nena pequeña", the only cover included (The Cleftones' "Little Girl Of Mine"). By the way, note that all the songs are sung in Spanish for the first time in Pike Cavaleros LP's.
It is a must to highlight that Pike Cavalero is surrounded by an incredible band, almost a kind of "all-star" one, with Juanny López and Francis Beard playing the electric guitars, Pepe Lee with the slapbass (and an electric bass somewhere) and Jesús López behind the drums. More than that, there are a few top class collaborations from stars such as Diego Cruz from the Sun Rockets adding his voice to some songs, Al Dual showing his great guitar skills at a couple of cuts and the amazing The Del Prince doo-wopping at "Mi nena Pequeña".
It is "Mi nena pequeña" my favourite song of the whole record. This time I have no doubt about it. Anyway, close behind are "Cuando caiga la noche", "Ahora que lo tienes" and "Cuando no te echo a faltar".
To all that said up above, it has to be added a beautiful artwork, with a cool drawing for the cover.
A very good record by Pike Cavalero, no doubt at all, who keeps on showing why he is one of the top Rockabilly acts we have at the moment. It's worth the money of buying this record. Vinyl or CD, that's up to you.
Thubs up for Pike Cavalero.
