Starting from the adage that it is never too late to do well and knowing, moreover, that it is almost impossible for us to list all the discographic production that daily waters our editorial staff, it is only today Today we have the opportunity to talk to you about the fourth album of this English duo, a master of high quality stage performances. It's particularly invigorating country-blues, but not only...! It sometimes makes you think of crazy pub-rock, like Dr Feelgood. Which is hardly surprising since we find in the line-up of the following albums of this good doctor, 'Mad Man Blues' (1985), 'Brilleaux' (1986) and 'Classic' (1987), the so-called Gordon Russel on guitar and who accompanied Lee Brilleaux, P.H. Mitchell and Kevin Morris at the time. But I seem to remember that this is a story that Gordon does not want to talk about too much…
Whether acoustic or electric, the music of the Two Timers has a freshness and spontaneity that is good to find on our road paved with CDs. That something that makes them irreplaceable and essential.
The duo of musicians from Brighton offers us eleven compositions of the best quality on this disc released in 2003 but of which the media have spoken too little or not at all. Wrongly. While Sarah James and Gordon Russel deserve as much media presence as the Lucky Petersons and Joe Louis Walkers.
Contrary to the heavy mechanics that align albums and tours in an industrial way, these two offer an almost 'artisanal' music. And it was pure chance that gave me the opportunity to see them on stage for the first time. It was in the last century, in my little town in Val d'Oise. A memorable evening of a weekend in July when a deluge of water seemed to announce the end of the world close to us. A few hallucinated huddled under rare umbrellas, however, remained at the foot of the stage, as if petrified by the phenomenal energy that emanated from this live duo: Sarah James on vocals, percussion and harmonica and Gordon Russel on guitars, the mandolin and the suitcase-sound box.
These two craftsmen of popular and festive music share their love of music through this album and we would almost be sorry to have passed them over in silence for so long. This is also why we are so happy to find them. Like those old friends that we no longer really thought of and that we find by chance on a trip.
And then a friendly advice: if their name appears on the poster of a room or in the program of a festival, move to go live 'live' what you will already love to listen to on CD. It's worth the effort and you really won't be disappointed.
