“Out West” is a live music double cd that the “Gomez” are going to release the 7 June. This album is the first released with ATO records, the label co-founded by Dave Matthews, after the group broke up the contract with Virgin consequently to the prohibition to publish a live album.

The music never found a similar creative talent and ease of movement from genre to genre since The Beatles. All Gomez music is built on syncopated beats and mixed tempos similar to how it happens in Jazz but here mixed with all the possible genres, from classic pop and rock to country, slow ballads, powerful tribal progressions, elements of dance and psychedelic music.

The track I mirror here was officially offered to promote the album, so perfectly legal. The voice of Ben Ottewell is the most beautiful and powerful you’ll ever hear and this song just shows one of his ways of singing (try to search for “Rosalita” to hear a melodic ballad). And yes, that voice comes out from this kiddo.

In the age of the internet the music becomes just something in the background, trivial, unnoticed. With groups like this one it’s possible to rediscover the unique feelings that nothing else is able to communicate.

P.S.
If you follow the link to their official site you’ll hear in the background “Sweet Virginia” one of their masterpieces from the last album and sang by yet another of singers of the group, Ian Ball. I simply love that song.
