As a log time of Jamie Coghill's Jimmy C adventures, this is a great concept as he hits his third decade in music. He approaches his songs from his formative years between 2004 and 2009 and can now use modern recording techniques rather than 4 Track and Computer software in its infancy.
The Melbourne multi instrumentalist was initially known more as a drummer for the likes of Lava Fangs and Fez Perez, but during his solo career, he has become a mainstay in Power Pop. However these songs show a much wider genre area.
A prime example of this variance is the wonderful meandering West Coast Rock of Your Corpse Is A Bore which is all Crazy Horse-esque. All Nite Ride is melancholic and stoner. Yet there are also big hints at what was to come.
The Back Roads To Ruin is magnificent with its killer riff and Guitar Pop sensibility. I Want Her is pure Classic Rock, indeed a lot of what is on show here fits that direction. There are also a couple of darker brooding instrumentals that show a completely different side to Coghill.
Just A Fool is built around another outstanding riff and The Boy In The Suitcase mixes a Road Song with a more Psych Pop feel. Refreshing is special in that it shows another, equally excellent, side to the Power Pop Icon that The Jimmy C recordings has since provided.
