Here is what a reviewer (Agenda 10) had to say about the album "Elvis Rocked The
People Then":
Influences include Def Leppard, Brian Adams, R.E.M, and 80's hardcore.
Dempsey has had his soul saved by helping to restore the glamour of the guitar.
From what may might recognize as Dublin's traditional few, to Scotland and
Northern England, the on to Pegasus for a swoop in the USA.
The debut album "Elvis Rocked The People Then" is a testament to the
refreshing versatility that rock-pop can exhibit. This album immediately
brought to mind DJ composer Fat Boy Slim whose last album was a collaboration
with several people over years, an alleviation of monotomy.
The various bands that Jack Dempsey dealt with include The Enigmatic Strangers,
then Sixth Angel, and The Queen Of Quebec. "I've kept in touch with most
of the bands that I've been involved with", Jack reminisced. Jack, with an
'old school' persona, prefers to avoid too much technology and reverts back to
the old rock-pulse and gusto with plenty of life and charge.
Indeed, after listening to his debut album, taking into cogniscance the overall
presentation and unforgettable name, the commerciality and versatility is
clearly evident. Refreshing variations fro mthe epic rock of "Death On The
Western Front", to the reggaesque punchy rocker "Sly Eyes" and the atmospheric
balland "Muriel", "Elvis Rocked The People Then" that is built upon from
a traditional spiritual diamond.
Elvis is a very well produced number with an unexpected lift from guitar
work to trumpet. The fact that it is adapted from a trad does not detract
from its commercial strength (a trad a number 1 for 8 weeks in '62). Other
trads have been remarkably successful including "House of The Rising Sun" by The
Animals - also from Northern
|
England - then "Rivers of Babylon" by Boney-M and "Whiskey in A Jar" by Thin
Lizzy to name but a few off-the-cuff. A business initiative to utilize
trads with a proven monolithic presence with appropriate modification is, of
course, not unique.
All-in-all, the sturdy vocal mastery of the lyrics flows naturally with the
bars. The strong back-beat and dynamic cohesion of the instrumentation
make a captivating rock act. After my thirty years experience I have come
up with a phrase which I believe is a comparable description of Jack Dempsey -
in a nutshell; R.E.M with an interesting frisson of Kinkfest versatility.
