Paris Red
Dibbs on Your Body
Reviewed by Joey Knight
This effort by Paris Red had me rocking with the opener "All or Nothing," sounding a little like Poison meets Faster Pussycat, but unfortunately I was left high 'n' dry when the title track came on. Singer Maurice Mangum comes off well with his voice, but all is lost when the falsetto back-ups kick in during the chorus. What is really missing on this recording is "attitude." This brand of rock can't be done without it, and it sure didn't have it. I can see what is trying to be achieved here with the "fun rock" feel, but without the "tude" feel backing, it will tend to sound like Vince Neil fronting The Beach Boys.
