A nice enjoyable listen,
By "bigaudiodynamite" (Croydon, ENGLAND) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Havana 3 A.M. (Audio CD)
Havana 3am consisted of ex figures guitarist Gary Myrick, Ex Whirlwind vocalist Nigel Dixon and ex Clash Bassist Paul Simonon.havana's sound is very bouncy, mixing rockibilly, Latin, spagetti western, reggae and new-wave rock into a nice on the ear's blend. The Lyrics are ok, they were all written by the band togethar, there is nothing on the album that i'd consider bad, but there is nothing thats really brilliant. The Chorus's are nice as you can sing along to them easily, the albums best moments are Joyride, Reach the Rock and Living in this Town.

I can't tell you how great this cd really is. Every song is different, but all of them are catchy and will keep you bouncing your head and tapping your foot throughout the entire album. All I can say is... this cd is awesome! Go and buy it and you won't be dissapointed!

Fusion of great music featuring talented musicians!,
By greverio "greverio" (Centreville, Virginia United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Havana 3 A.M. (Audio CD)
Take a little Myrick add a little Dixon and splash a dash of Simonon and what do we get.....Havana 3 AM. The group consisting of great proven talent creating a record overlooked, but unquestionably sensational. From the states we had Gary Myrick; a brilliant guitarist whose work early in the eighties was new wave and ended that decade sounding like an outlaw. His work was more polished leading up to meeting up with Simonon and Dixon. Nigel Dixon had established himself as a British Rockabilly force. His work was noted and respected. Of course we had Paul Simonon; once the bassist for argueably the greatest "punk rock" band ever. In the Clash, Simonon was overlooked by the great songwriting duo of Jones/Strummer...though he was noticed while singing on the classic "Guns of Brixton". Nevertheless his presence brought attention to Havana 3 AM. As he paved the way for Havana 3 AM, Myrick and Dixon's work was exposed and embraced by many. The album itself is an early 90's classic. The Latin American, Texas, British fusion was something else. Songs that stand out include "The Hardest Game", Reach the Rock", and "Hey Amigo". Their sound was very distinctive for that era of music and remains different and truly alternative. One added note, there was a follow up album featuring Gary Myrick (minus Simonon and the late Dixon)which is strong and overlooked as well, but second to the original.
