Make no mistake about it- Ivan Beecroft is one of the most artistically rich, down and dirty ass kicking rockers going today. If you’ve ever heard as little as thirty seconds of his work, you know what I’m telling you is legit. In an age of nameless, faceless, disposable here today gone tomorrow pop stars, Ivan Beecroft is a legend among men and deserves all the recognition and more for plowing forward on a path of glorious rock and roll!
His latest album, Liars, Freaks & Fools lands right in your gut. You know, that part of your stomach you feel the effects of a blazing roller coaster in most. The immediacy and power is breathtaking. “The Gypsy Joker” is the kind of song destined to hit that sweet spot for fans of 70’s era Kiss and AC/DC. Beecroft is having fun playing music and on this killer track it’s clear.
On “Bad Company”, the cowbell-led rocker, Beecroft opens up to a wildly strong chorus with huge sing-along-ability. If you’ve got a fever, “Bad Company” may just be the prescription. If you love guitar solos, make sure to give this one a listen. Short and sweet and oh so good. The quick flash provides an excellent cherry on top of a great song.
Good time rock and roll is the best kind of rock and roll. Through the ten tracks on Liars, Freaks & Fools, you never come across a moment of let up. Like an expert marksman, Beecroft gets the listener in his sight and pounces. The music is exciting with a hint of familiarity to his work yet pushed through a new filter helping to round out the various tracks. Ivan Beecroft is an innovator in every sense of the word. A true artist with a clear understanding of his strengths and the ability to continually put them on full display. If you’re starved for a great musician or just need some really feel good rock & roll, check out Liars, Freaks & Fools! You will not be disappointed!
