Richard Lloyd
Print reviews confirmed in upcoming issues of Rolling Stone, SPIN, Magnet and Harp for Reaction Recordings deluxe DCD re-issue of Richard Lloyd's Field Of Fire....
On the worldwideweb the DCD has been featured this week in Tom Moon's 'Shadow Classics' column for NPR, and by esteemed rock scribe David Fricke for Rolling Stone's online Rock Daily column.
ROLLING STONE/ROCK DAILY: "A double-vision reissue of Television guitarist Richard Lloyd’s second solo album: a CD of the complete 1987 release; another CD of Lloyd freshening the rushed, dated production on the original tapes with new vocals and more guitars. They are both great albums. The first highlights the Keith Richards-style bite Lloyd brought to Television’s guitar poetry; the second peels back the reverb and emphasizes the slicing force Lloyd brings to every stage." (David Fricke)
NPR/SHADOW CLASSICS: "Lloyd deserves the chance to tweak his music and bring it closer to what he heard in his head all those years ago. And, at the same time, those who loved and have missed the original deserve to encounter it as they remember it. Give this veteran of the rock trenches who remains woefully under-appreciated as a guitarist credit for understanding that, and offering both the tried-and-true and the new-and-improved." (Tom Moon)
ALL MUSIC GUIDE, 4.5 STARS: "Absolutely essential for all Richard Lloyd fans." (Stewart Mason)
