Queen's Dark Magic Woman ReissuePosted by Junker Crowell on January 23rd, 2021 Now, I'm not certain why, maybe it's because they are just about the exact genre and also haven't been forced to an absolutely commercial effort such as The White Stripes were, however that I can tell you this: those are some fantastic songs. Anyway, that really is perhaps not exactly what I'm going to be reviewing for this debut record. As an alternative, I'm going to discuss my absolutely love affair with"Voodou." I'm not sure if it is the song itself, that the vocals, the story behind it, or the simple fact that it's my favorite song by Fleetwood Mac, however I'm going to put most that aside for now and just talk in my Voodou adventure. This song starts off with what looks like a snippet from the end of the Voodou video, but if you pause it you're able to hear everything and listeners. After the group played with their vintage"Reelin' in the Years" video years past there were several rather interesting lyrics included in the background. Therefore, it was not a completely seamless transition, but that certainly causes me to think that the ring may have something fresh to offer fans of the music. It's not that different from the original, and it will not have the slowed up speed that many Voodou songs tend to have. So, it's definitely well worth a listen to. However, if you should be looking for a Gypsy Queen song to sing along to as you're at the gym, this really isn't it. "I Walk the Line" is the second single from the Dark Magic Woman album, which is my personal favorite. For people that do not understand, Gypsies can be a Irish punk/post-punk band that gained global attention with their selftitled record in 1996. The only real"I Walk the Line," contains three original songs and a excellent introduction to the band. The guitars are twisted and a bit distorted, but it's quite unique as a Gypsy Queen song. This is my favorite of the three songs from the album, since it's a real slow ballad. The simple rhythm is the same as the original, but the lyrics turned into a little bit slower for a Gypsy Queen song. There are some fascinating things going on with the guitar solo at the ending. I am not certain what it is, however, it looks like considered a homage to Queen's past, notably from the previous 10 years. Black Magic Woman is really a droning mess at times, but that fits the song perfectly. It's an enjoyable song that don't obviously have a lot going on, however it has got a wonderful guitar riff that simply does not move out of style like the other songs on this record. The song begins slow and creepy, and reminiscent of a puzzle train ride. The slower part helps make this song you to be controlled by at summer time, once you get the impression that it could become scorching outside.
This was a wonderful album, that reminds me a little the English Rose, still another great Gypsy Queen song. The initial recording is fantastic, even if you haven't heard about Queen before. The cover, with a picture of the original artist and also what,"We Have Only Just Seen," is a superb tiny moment. This reissue is magnificent, although the quality is only a little lacking when compared with a number of the preceding albums.
