The guys from Voodoo Vegas sent me a copy of their new album “The Rise of Jimmy Silver” when we were doing an interview recently (http://www.rockradioni.co.uk/interviews/1243-ni-rocks-interviews-voodoo-vegas.html). The album was released back in March and it’s definitely one that I would have no hesitation about including in the “NI Rocks Recommends” section. That should come as no surprise really as I’d seen the band perform in Belfast a few years ago and had bought a copy of their previous release “Voodoo Vegas Live”.  I knew therefore that what I was going to get were some great kickass rock n roll tunes.

The album was recorded in the legendary Rockfield Studios  following a Pledge Music campaign that hit its target within 24 hours and went on to achieve funding of 344% of that target. There are a load of great tunes on the album so picking favourites is a bit difficult but I’ll go with “Bullet”, “What I Pay”, “Mary Jane” and “So Unkind”.

Voodoo Vegas play  the Pavilion in Belfast on Saturday 6^th July.

_{About “NI Rocks Recommends”}

_{I'm not a reviewer but wanted to acknowledge some of the great music being submitted to Rock Radio NI by artists, promoters and labels both within and outside of N Ireland. That was the idea behind “NI Rocks Recommends”. I'm not giving marks or ratings, trying to categorise bands or compare artists. The albums that I’ll be recommending would be those I’d buy myself, so there’ll be a strong focus on “classic rock” sounds; however you wish to define that! What you won’t get is death metal or similar genres. Each to his own, but that ain’t what I choose to listen to!}

_{To be honest I’m not really a big fan of the whole idea of “Reviews” as they’re simply one person’s opinion!!  “NI Rocks Recommends” is therefore just my personal recommendation. Let's just say that if I've went to the bother of writing this, I think it's worth taking a listen to and you’ll be hearing it played on my shows on Rock Radio NI!!}
