Queen's Black Magic Woman ReissuePosted by Mark Donaldson on January 23rd, 2021 This song samples from The White Stripes'"My Old School" and "Breathe" in their final album, that will be a little cooler than the previous two. Now, I am not certain why, maybe it's because they are just about the same genre and haven't been forced to an absolutely business attempt like The White Stripes were, but that I can tell you this: those are some fantastic songs. Any way, that really is perhaps not what I'm going to be reviewing with this debut record. As an alternative, I'm going to discuss my absolutely romance with all"Voodou." I'm not sure if it is the song it self, the vocals, the story behind it, or the simple fact it's my favourite song by Fleetwood Mac, however I'm going to place all that aside for now and simply speak about my Voodou adventure. This song starts off with what appears to be a snippet from the finish of this Voodou video, however when you pause it you're able to hear voices and everything. Therefore, it wasn't a totally smooth transition, but that undoubtedly makes me believe the ring may possibly have something fresh to offer fans of their older music. It's not that different from the original, and it doesn't have the slowed up tempo that many Voodou songs tend to possess. Thus, it's absolutely worth a listen to. But if you should be looking for a Gypsy Queen song to sing along to when you're at the gym, this is not it. "I Walk the Line" is the 2nd single from the Black Magic Woman record, which is my own favorite. For those that do not understand, Gypsies can be a Irish punk/post-punk ring that gained global attention with their self-titled album in 1996. The guitars are distorted and a bit twisted, but it's quite unique as a Gypsy Queen song. This really is my favorite of those 3 songs from the record, because it's really a true slow ballad. The basic rhythm is just like the original, however, the lyrics become just a tiny bit slower for a Gypsy Queen song. There are a number of fascinating things going on with your guitar solo at the end. I am not certain what it is, but it seems to be a homage to Queen's past, especially from the previous 10 years. The guitar solo is a droning mess occasionally, however fits the song perfectly. In the end, there's"Mystery Train" by the newest album, Black Magic Woman. It's an enjoyable song that do not really have a great deal going on, however it's got a excellent guitar riff that simply does not move out of style like the other music on this record. The song starts out slow and creepy, and reminiscent of a puzzle train ride. The lower section can make this song one to hear at the summer, whenever you have the feeling that it could become very hot outside.
This was a great record, which reminds me a little this English Rose, another wonderful Gypsy Queen song. The original recording is amazing, even in the event that you haven't heard about Queen before. The cover, featuring an image of the artist and also what,"We Have Only Just Seen," is just a excellent small moment. This reissue is magnificent, although the product quality is only a little lacking when compared with a number of the previous records.
