DORIS BRENDEL - THE LAST ADVENTURE

Twenty years after being the vocal driving force on the iconic “The Fire Sermon” album from The Violet Hour, Doris is now shining brightly as a solo artist with her just released 12 track album “The Last Adventure”. This reviewer’s personal heaven, of Chrissie Hynde, Hazel O’Connor and Pink rolled into one dynamic and multi-dimensional singer, is achieved with a flourish by Doris as she produces stand-out performances throughout the album. Encapsulating a Celtic feel through her flageolet playing to in your face rockier tracks, all are covered, with her very distinctive sound and style. The quirky and catchy “What Have I Done” stands shoulder to shoulder with my own favourite “Get A Life” which is easily the UK’s answer to Pink’s “So What”, providing ample evidence of the versatility Doris possesses and which has produced one of the most consistent albums to be released this year. In place of calling “The Last Adventure” an album of Prog-Rock, Retro or even Cool Britannia, just call it CLASS and you will not be far wrong.
