PALACE – Rock And Roll Radio (2020)
Never let it be said 2020 breathed its last cursed breath without giving us something good along the way. A memorable and brilliant cruising album has arrived in the form of Michael PALACE’s “Rock and Roll Radio” album, available December 4 on Frontiers Music.
This Swede is one of those multi-instrumentalists like Prince or Arjen Lucassen who just takes DIY album-making to an extreme. In the album notes, Palace is credited as playing “everything.” Unless there are cameos we are unaware of at publication, that’s pretty impressive, considering there is everything happening from singing to keys to lead guitars to a freaking saxophone.
So let’s back up just a little bit. In 2016, Palace released his “Master of the Universe” album, followed two years later by his “Binary Music” album. While these albums were inventive and good by most reasonable standards, it is apparent he wanted to push things in a particular direction in 2020, and ”Rock-and-Roll Radio” certainly does that.
A fantastic, ridiculously catchy collection of songs.
