Wild River

Big Meteor

A short time before I started working on the new Life in Death site, I got an e-mail from this guy asking what kind of stuff I would review.  I said just about anything.  Well, I gave him my contact information so he could send me a copy of his demo.  It arrived just as Life in Death was going live.  I've got to be honest--I've been really hesitant to review this cd because there's really not much I like about it.

The artwork looks really nice, the lyrics are very thoughtful and well-written, and the musicianship is good.  That's about the only things I like about it.

Anyway, here goes.  Big Meteor consists of David Wimble on vocals and guitar, and Larry Wayne Church on lead guitar and backup vocals.  They're both good musicians with talent.  The album is diverse musically, with rock, acoustic rock, country, blues, and a celtic ballad.

As I mentioned earlier, the lyrics are really good.  I can't honestly say that the songwriting is.  I think they could have worked harder on putting together quality musical compositions.

That's about all I can say about this demo.  If you happen to live in the Ottawa area, Big Meteor regularly appears Wednesday and Thursday nights at the Hard Times Cafe, 129 Queen street.(at least that's the info that was given to me.  Check it out with the band.)

Compact Discs are available for $15 and cassettes are $12. If you want more info on ordering, here is the contact information.
