Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10
It’s All The Rage… fear, anger, the frenzied daily attacks that leave us blindsided and feeling like our minds have become the plaything for lesser men to manipulate; it is all the rage, this feeling of anxiety, of thunder in the hearts but no lightning to spark the brain into the rebellion, or at least urging on those who are willing to tackle the subjects so few are able to comprehend.

For the purists of such things, it takes at least a long weekend to get lost in the thoughts and melee that Amsterdam has to offer before time spent there can make the foundation of songs in which to be immersed in. One night surely cannot be enough, it’s barely enough time to find the mayonnaise at Schipol Airport for a plate of chips, take in the pleasantries that the cobbled stones provide the abundance of cyclists as on road entertainment or to savour the well founded truth that the Dutch are arguably some of the nicest people in the world and yet One Night in Amsterdam is all that is needed to understand that Ian Siegal’s second live album in under a year is an absolute belter.

If Ian Siegal doesn’t know how he does it then what hope is there for the rest of us? Then to be fair, as long as Ian Siegal can do it then all we have to do is sit back and enjoy the gravel toned singing Bluesman as he continues to thrill fans and live audiences.
