REVIEW: Richard Kendrick - Murder And The F-Word Versailles Records, 2002
6/10
Richard Kendrick - Murder And The F-Word - cover art Throughout the 90's the American multi-instrumentalist Richard Kendrick has performed with bands like Dark August, Straitjacket Smile, and Mudbone who have opened up for world famous artists Lizzy Borden and Pantera. After having recorded several tracks for different tribute discs he has now finished the work on his first solo album for Versailles Records. I am not sure whether I like this album or not - some songs are as foolish as the title of the album while others totally rocks and shows the talent that this man is in possession of. Versailles Records are trying to keep the metal and hard rock from the 80's alive and so is Richard Kendrick, sometimes very nicely but other times it sounds pretty boring and sleazy. He has a very (and I do mean very!) good hard rock voice but sometimes the songs remind me of the worst moments of Whitesnake. There are some great tracks though and it is just about heavy enough to be enjoyable. I would still only recommended this album to hardcore fans of 80's glam metal and hard rock.
