Tony Mitchell is perhaps best known for forming the classic band Kiss Of The Gypsy in the 90’s. But he has also been in bands like Dirty White Boyz. As well as collaborating with Rick Wakeman. Now Tony appears with his new solo album “Hot Endless Summer Nights”, which both song and production have more to wish for.
But here you can still find some bright spots such as the album’s title track and “Drowning In A Sea Of Paradise”, “Leave The World Behind” (the album’s best track) and “Turn Back Time”. The rest of the songs unfortunately do not appeal to me at all as some of them are pure abysmal. Just take the concluding “Calling Mother Nature” which is really deplorable. Thought Tony Mitchell’s previous album “Church Of A Restless Soul” (2020) was really good but this is not at the same level at all. Not much to write home about when it comes to the new record which for my part will go by quite unnoticed.
