Oasis singer Gallagher and Stone Roses guitarist Squire swagger down musical memory lane on these ten tasty tracks \u2013 which of course means plenty of nods to 60s icons.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s some Merseybeat here, some Cream there, and even a dollop The Faces on the full-blooded rocker You\u2019re Not The Only One.<\/p>\n
The Manchester duo sound buoyant and refreshed, not least on the opener Raise Your Hands, a cocky, rocking calling card full of Jeff Beck bounce, with Squire\u2019s lead licks neatly punctuating Liam\u2019s vocals. The spirit of psychedelic blues drives the sublime Love You Forever. It has a riff that recalls the glory days of the Jimi Hendrix Experience and there\u2019s a Beatles feel to the chorus.<\/p>\n
Just Another Rainbow is slower and atmospheric, with a dreamy touch of John Lennon\u2019s Mind Games era about the vocals and fine, expressively trippy late 60s guitar. Mars To Liverpool channels a strong Merseybeat vibe with Gallagher at his most melancholic. He\u2019s doing some of his most nuanced singing on this album and Squire\u2019s fluid solos are a joy throughout.<\/p>\n

\nI\u2019m A Wheel opens with a pure blues riff and is blessed with mop-top pop chorus and some deftly melodic guitar-play.<\/p>\n
The title track is relatively laidback with an instantly catchy chorus. \u201cMake it up as you go along, nobody knows any better than you,\u201d sings Liam about lord knows who.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m So Bored takes us back to Beatlemania while the closer, Mother Nature\u2019s Song, has the mood of a Stones ballad.<\/p>\n
Cynics will complain that Liam is playing safe by sticking to his musical guns. But this is his best album since Oasis, and besides what\u2019s wrong with giving the fans what they want?<\/p>\n
The collaboration works like a dream. Some birds fly higher than others.<\/p>\n
