THE DT'S - Live, Hot, Nasty

Live Hot Nasty – The Dt´s (SRCD 029 | Scatter Records, 2010)

You remember a time when live albums were as exciting as live shows themselves, when you could feel the vibe, the sweat? It's been a while since I heard something like that, well it's done. The DT's are back with a killer LP and if you miss rocking the clubs, or prefer the comfort of your car or your living room to dance around, it is for you. It's written on it, it's Live, Hot and Nasty. Solid rhythm section all the way, groovy and tight, to carry the voice of Diana Young-Blanchard and the guitars of Dave Crider (Monomen).
I haven't been bored one second all along this album that I already listened many times. No filler, just what we need. 30 mins of pure rock.
Once again I started listening while smiling to Dave Crider's guitar sound. A trademark. From Monomen, to Watts, and now the DT's for several years, Dave is one of those guitar players you can instantly recognize from his style and sound. A genius, I say. It's a supercharged mix of the best blues, hard rock, Detroit sound and Australian rock influences.
Nine tracks, including two covers, "Too Much Woman" (Ike Turner) and "Trouble in Double Time" (Free).
The rest of the tracks come the previous albums, songs like "Mystified" and "Freedom", that sound already like classic of the band.
Now, when you know that no one else than Jack Endino mastered the record, you get an idea of what's gonna be the volume range you're gonna listen to that record.
And anyway you should crank it up.
There you go, one more record in your collection, and you wouldn't live without this one, I tell you. That's the only problem here, you'll get addicted. But since the band has a couple of singles on their way too, and a few LP's already released, you'll get your dose.
And who knows, you might even want to leave your sofa next time they're in town to join the party... You'll have the shakes.
