Fans of Peter Daltrey should certainly look out for this new CD. (Candy:The Best of Peter Daltrey) `October` is a piece of dark near psychedelia with a far gutsier vocal than you`d ever expect. It also features a screaming, searing guitar contribution from Peter`s son Oliver. An astonishing piece of work. `Watching girls on Empty-Vee` has a far lighter melody, with a delicate tune picked out over an effective backwash of sound. Different again is `A Linden tree in Chelsea` which has a classical feel to it, while `Magda Bruer in the rain` sets Peter`s voice against a simple piano backing. The three Kaleidoscope tracks stand out as songs from another era. Finally, the title track is a wonderful piece about looking for lost dreams. The concluding guitar solo by Arjen Lucassen that storms the CD to a close is the icing on a very impressive cake. Peter`s voice is as precise and distinctive as ever, his moving lyrics still evoke memories of a time gone by and touch on feelings about time`s passing that we all share, while his melodies grow ever stronger. A must for all fans and a fine introduction to his work.Visit the band`s web site for details of Peter`s equally good other solo CDs:[...]
