Description
Double album on black vinyls with gatefold cover, booklet and the complet album on cd as bonus
Three Sides Of One is a record that truly captures the magic of three very different artists who, when together, create a sound that is much greater than the sum of its parts. With Dug Pinnick’s soulful vocals and funk-infused bass, matched with the legendary sound of Ty Tabor’s world famous Stratocaster and combined with Jerry Gaskill’s signature percussion, we find ourselves with 12 songs and 47 minutes of a vast and varied journey that takes up from the celebratory, to the sad, through the dark and also the uplifting. One distinct aspect of Three Sides Of One that all longtime listeners will notice is that Jerry has the lead vocals on three tracks. This is the most space he’s gotten on a King’s X record as a lead singer and these include the very Beatles-esque, light and airy acoustic Take The Time as well as the bluesy rocker She Called Me Home which also features a very signature Ty Tabor guitar solo reticent of the band’s heyday. Overall, this record has a little bit of everything King’s X. From rockers like Festival to the emotional She Called Me Home to the heavy funk with songs like Swipe Up. It’s as if the band took some of the best pieces of their signature songcraft and put them all together specifically for Three Sides Of One. Yet nothing is retread or repetitive. The album clearly stands out on its own as unique in their vast catalog. King’s X is one of the greatest bands on the planet and this release only further cements this and their place in the realm of music history.
