Description:

April Wine: Myles Goodwyn (vocals, guitar); Brian Greenway (guitar, background vocals); Gary Moffet (guitar); Steve Lang (bass); Jerry Mercer (drums). April Wine (like any good wine) got better with age, and the Canadians` brightest moment only arrived over a decade into their career with 1981`s The Nature of the Beast. Opener "All Over Town" lurches into action on a lopsided riff before finding its awesome groove, -- a groove they seldom abandon through and to the end of the disc. All-around frontman Myles Goodwyn is in top form, leading the band through some of their most aggressive material ever ("Bad Boys," "Crash and Burn"), as well as through the band`s career-defining power ballad "Just Between You and Me." While "Caught in the Crossfire" and "Future Tense" suffer from some cheesy sci-fi lyrics, melodic hard rockers such as "Big City Girls," "One More Time," and "Sign of the Gypsy Queen" (featuring Thin Lizzy-like dual guitar harmonies) pick up the slack in spades. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia
