Max Webster ?– Max Webster [Rock Candy Remastered] 2011

12/05/2017 rock aor Classic Rock, Hard Rock Leave a comment

CERTAINLY MAX Webster was no ordinary band. The fact that their name was an entirely fictional non de plume was just part of the conundrum. An electric and eccentric four piece, based in Toronto, and led by the ever entertaining Kim Mitchell, MW maximised their curious non conventional appeal by crafting melodic progressive rock with a nod to the left-of-centre approach pioneered by King Crimson, Frank Zappa, Captain Beefheart and Genesis. It was a heady mixture for sure but one that paid long lasting dividends.

‘MUTINY UP My Sleeve, originally released in 1979 and partly produced by Terry Brown (Rush), was Max Webster’s third album and once again it showcased the band in particularly nimble form; the progressive arrangements dovetail neatly, with hard hitting riffs and much spectacular lead guitar work.
