But that sense was hardly reactionary; indeed, WP's musical utopianism seems to have gleaned as much from alt-rock as the Allmans, infusing this 2001 collection with a bracing sense of adventure. Their seventh album encompasses the stylistic diversity longtime fans have come to expect, with that diversity now underscored by the walloping hard-rock edge on \"Give,\" \"Imitation Leather Shoes,\" and \"Action Man.\" With vocalist John Bell's expressive, character-rich voice evoking spirits as diverse as Steve Miller, James Hetfield, and Eddie Vedder, the band's tales of jaundiced romance and bleary-eyed life are ensconced in dreamy piano ballads (\"This Part of Town\") , neo-psych funk (\"Thought Sausage\"), and even rootsy Nashville-meets-Memphis novelty (\"Big Wooly Mammoth\"). Tellingly, WP infuses their cover of alt-rock pioneers Firehose's \"Sometimes\" with an infectious, Miller-esque pop groove that further highlights their sense of musical team play. \n--Jerry McCulley\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 060768450929\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0060768450929\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Audio CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e New\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ID Shop.ca","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40685493059768,"sku":"B1-JEZ1-7CXU","price":45.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0030\/9765\/7390\/products\/51AZr5ibK6L.jpg?v=1634162405","url":"https:\/\/idshop.ca\/en\/products\/dont-tell-the-band","provider":"ID Shop.ca","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
