SIZZLING STUDIO PLATTER OF THE WEEK: Carl Dixon –
Lucky Dog (DD) :: “Lucky” ain’t the word to describe
a guy who got seriously smearcased in a horrific
head-on collision only to improbably survive and
then ambitiously thrive, but it’s one heckuva good
start. Now some of you may remember Carl from his
Coney Hatch days but it’s no hangin’ matter if you
don’t ’cause this inspiring new album cleans Coney’s
clock six ways to Sunday.
You can take it from me when I tell ya that Lucky
Dog is a classic rock fan’s delight because it
sounds just like it was recorded back in the
halcyonic ’70s. Even better, it ranks right up there
in the heartfelt department with such like-minded
laid-back long-players as Luther Grosvenor’s Under
Open Skies and Neil Young’s Harvest. Bonus bravery
points for having the intestinal fortitude and
spiritual wherewithal to write a soul survivor song
titled “Stitches, Sutures & Staples.”
Be seeing you!
