DAN REED NETWORK – Let’s Hear It For The King (2022)
DAN REED NETWORK are ready to release their new album entitled “Let’s Hear It For The King” tomorrow. After returning as a unit some years ago and since then releasing a couple of solid releases, Dan Reed Network capitalized the pandemic lockdown to craft what is possibly their best album to date.
”Let’s Hear It For The King” is a terrific piece of work in every way, with the usual lyrical content giving the listener plenty of time to think while they move to the melodies at the same time. The lyrics are always a thing you either take seriously or with a grain of salt, and Dan Reed himself makes his philosophy pretty-well known as it is, so any fan can already relate to that and let the music take over as well.
They practically forged a new sound altogether here, with a modern edge in the foreground, without losing any of their classic heavy-funk / melodic rock leanings. I can’t help hearing everything from pop to prog rock on this magnificent delivery…
