John Wicks, the lead singer and songwriter from the legendary power pop group, The Records, has released a live, acoustic DVD. The first release since his comeback record entitled "Rotate", Wicks (with the help of new Record Dennis Taylor) performs some old favorites as well as some great new material. Fans of The Records will enjoy the Wicks/Birch penned "Her Stars Are My Stars" as well as the quintessential classic, "Starry Eyes", performed with the assistance of one Matthew Sweet. Sweet's contribution is minimal, but its great to see him with the band nonetheless.
The performance is also chock full of new material, with all the hooks we've grown accustomed to from a Wicks/Records release. They also do a nice cover of The Beatles' Things We Said Today" and Graham Gouldman's "Bus Stop". All in all, a very good time.
You can check out the lyrics or view a clip by going to WicksWirks or order it here through Kool Kat Musik.
