Black Raven

Rockbox Revival

(Hot Stuff Records)




Issued in 2018, this disc is being accorded 2023 notice for two reasons: It epitomizes Ted tunefulness, and is the yet-active trio's most recent, full-length waxing. Absent is the chain-swinging obstreperousness of esteemed others of their musical sort. In its stead, Black Raven cultivates burnish and cordiality (with steely fortification). As can be enjoyed here, they set a sterling course.

Recommended: "Tell Her (I'll Fight)," "Chrome Heart," "Has She Got a Friend," "You're Leaving Me," "Tovarich," "If I Married a Hooker" (feat. Kris Kristofferson), "Once More Forever," "Over You," "I've Lost the Sunshine," "Girl In the Wood," "How Long Can She Last"
