BILLY SHADDOX..CDCover(Self-released/Hemifran) 2016.
CD
Americana/roots/pop – USA

Singer/songwriter Billy Shaddox is a longer period active on national scene, but as he said, actual album was born in a time of change.

Born in California, latest period locate in Boulder, Colorado, inspirative area for his songs, a short period ago he has released a new product, full-length album with 11 tracks in – “I Melt, I Howl”.

Someone called his newer style as a cosmic american music, and this is not far away of songs descriptions, found in abum. Mr. Shaddox combine americana/roots variants with pop, in some places sunshine pop elements, added with also so call retro hidden psych details. His songs , mostly are different among them, and different arrangments circulate through presented materials. Interesting in every way, and also partly pretty listenable too.

BILLY SHADDOX..Personal pictureSinger/songwriter Billy Shaddox je prisutan već neko vreme na nacionalnoj sceni. Ali kako sam ističe, njegov aktuelni abum je nastao u periodu promena.
Rođen u Kaliforniji, poslednjih godina nastanjen u Boulderu, Kolorado, inspirativnom mestu za stvaranje novih muzičkih ideja. Neko je nazvao njegov pristup kao “cosmic american music”, što nije toliko daleko od realnog klasifikovanja ovde čutog i prisutnog materijala.

Gospodin Shaddox kombinuje americana/roots varijante sa pop, na određenim mestima sunshine pop elementima, kojima su pridodati prikriveni retro psych. detalji. Pesme znaju biti različite među sobom, a prilično “intenzivni” i složeniji aranžmani cirkulišu materijalom.
U svakom slučaju, ovo je intersantno ostvarenje, na nekim mestima i prilično slušljivo, iako izražena melodičnost ne predstavlja centralni deo vokalnog i autorskog opusa autora.
