    Reviews:
    I turn up 'Bluescream' from two-dimensional soft to three-dimensional stereo. Not enough. Up volume until the
    music feels palpable. And I wonder, "So this is what happens when a melodic rockin' McCully Workshop
    tunesmith goes hard rock? What led him to this? Was it his companions?"
    Was it Roger Kaye, vocals, who also wrote 'Dysfunctional'? Or Robin Gallagher on guitar and Kevin Gibson on
    drums? (Our Spaced Out man, Tully McCully, plays bass in this four man band, or, if you prefer, a three-man
    band with a lead vocalist.)
    We've long known Tully has hard rock tendencies, and he comes by it honestly. After all, 'Buccaneer' is not a
    tune Barry Manilow could cover. And Tully and Friends work out on tough lyrics like "I'll drink the wine, I eat
    the apple from the bloody tree" from 'Closest Thing I've Got' (a song about lust which I enjoy because, well, I
    like lust). They give us raw power in volume and vocals in 'Keep It Coming'. And as an American, and as a
    citizen of the world, don't get me started talking about the profound 'After September'.
    What at first sounds like a new direction for Tully develops into a recognition of his songwriting talents
    rocking harder. I hear some McCully Workshop in structure and melodic sense (check the harmony vocals
    in 'Serving My Time'), but those are silver touches among the brazen hard rock, echoes in the evolution of his
    style.
    'Bluescream' is not a classic rock retro outing. In Bluescream, I hear the sons of 'Buccaneer' and 'Chinese
    Junkman' and a rockin' man's creative growth, but this is strikingly new. Of course, as multi-talented
    as Tully is (or should that sometimes be, "as multi-tracked as Tully is...?"), he doesn't make CDs
    alone sometimes I think he's a friend to everyone on The Cape.
    Tully sounds like a perfectionist crafting and honing songs. Typical of most African rock CDs, there are no
    throwaway tunes here it is either good, or is not included. 'Another Man's Woman' may not be my favorite
    track, but it does build to a satisfyingly fierce finish.
    This classic rock guitar sound in a modern venue has plenty of slamming drums, strident and deliberate
    guitars, and assertive vocals. But embedded in the towering rock guitars striding the land in seven-league
    boots are talents and skills Tully doesn't care to shake, even when working in back to basics Saturday Night
    Rock ("Yeah, gimme another Windhoek, boet"). Trademark McCully Workshop background harmony vocals
    breeze by in the company of MW signature melodies, as in 'Freedom Bell' and 'The Countdown'.
    The CD's penultimate number is a driving song titled, fittingly, 'I Want it Now', that moves you along to the
    big closer, 'Fast Lane' and I'm off to road test this CD. Wall of sound? More like an eighteen-wheeler of
    sound.
    So how did a nice guy like Tully arrive in the hard guitar world of hard rock? By hard work and experience.
    And I can't say he got here by peer pressure because, as a triple threat, he has no peer. Of course, Roger
    Kaye and Robin Gallagher are not anonymous sidemen but craft masters rocking out lyrically and musically
    smart tunes.
    Bluescream is not good boys gone bad, but solidly rocking good guys. In fact, I'd let my sister go to a
    Bluescream show....
