EL84 Doing “One World” in the spirit of Uriah Heep mines an organ – is that possible ? Today I was listening to EL84 doing “One World”, the more I hear that song the more there is to like. The dreamy start with the growing earth, the acoustic guitar, soft cymbals, as each instrument is added the song grows more complex. As it should but this is more than most rock songs would do. In ways it reminds me of Uriah Heep in there days of dream weaving like “Demons and Wizards” and Magician’s Birthday. Wile the lyrics tell a good tale the music keeps moving forward with a felling of something more coming thou your not disappointed with what your hearing now something better seams to be building. Then a solo that is good but kind of short, well I would like more it’s very pleasing. After that we go into a slow tension part that’s nice but doesn’t really go anywhere. While the song ends for me on kind of a low note the song as a whole is very good.
I could do another post just on the lyrics, also good in a Uriah Heep way.
EL84 is a tight sounding band with good guitar leads and vocal. The song “Mystic Road” is the true high light of all the songs. Would you please join me in calling and E-mailing your local radio stations. Lets get them to find out who EL84 is, tell them you want to hear EL84 doing Mystic Road.

The Band EL84 sound perhaps like Journey or Jefferson Starship with a clean and sharp sound. Good vocals and lead guitar licks. Wile all these songs are good it’s a crime the radio stations are not playing “Mystic Road”. From the opening lines of the lead guitar to the pounding and driving drums of this song it keeps moving on but when the guitar solo starts you know you have found a song you will play over and over again. EL84 is out of Oakland, Calf. Wish I could give you more information on EL84 but just could not find it.

The Stone Coyotes remind me of the late 1980’s early 1990’s band Concrete Blonde it must be the singer that brings that sound across – very nice. The band is made up of Barbara Keith on electric guitar and vocals, husband Doug Tibbles on drums, and stepson John Tibbles on bass.
