TOFOG – Bastard Life or Clarity

Cameron Crowe, (director Almost Famous, Jerry Maguire), on Bastard Life or Clarity.

“Real rock is the studio chatter at the top of The night that Davey hit the train. Real rock is the way the guitar solo blazes on Things have got to change, and the the vocal comes slamming back… and you’re only on track one. Real rock is the reckless way TOFOG gives you Somebody else’s princess and Judas Cart on the same album. Real rock is the way a band sounds when they love the songs. Real rock is actually capturing the magic of a live favorite like The Legend of Barry Kable in the studio. You know it when you hear it. Real rock is a Stones album like Exile on the main street, or Bruce Springsteen cutting loose on a song like Night. Real rock is Bastard life or clarity. And P.S. — I wanted to be first great rocker named Crowe. Those dreams are over, baby.”
