Solo album by LONG time Neil Young sideman and, boy, is there a strong Young vibe here! "Well, who would have thought that Talbot would eventually be a band-leader of his own, with an aptly titled outfit of course, the Billy Talbot Band. Actually formed back in 1999, the band is built around the same rugged Crazy Horse sound that Talbot`s lent rhythmic efforts towards for the past 30 plus years. A voice well worn, dirty, and at times a tough listen, it`s hard to imagine this shaggy haired guy was actually a do-wop singer back in the 60`s.Alive In The Spirit World, the band`s debut, personifies a spirited effort, with plenty of shoddy songwriting and off key vocals. But then again, who would expect the Billy Talbot band to be polished? Neil Young himself would have nothing to do with such fanciness.
