VINCENT T. VOK

Artist: VINCENT T. VOK      
Title: Survivor
Format: Vinyl LP
Year: 1983
Songs: 12
Label: Self Released – Voksongs Unlimited
Style: Folk Rock

Both side openers are short but taught little rockers ‘Heat Of The City’ & ‘Even You’ respectively.  The urgent acoustic folk penned ‘Ballad Of Dog Boy’ drips with bits of lyric novelty but is also pretty darn good, and we get to hear for the first time a female backing singer, which add much value.  Then it goes really weird with the spoken word piece ‘Fred Astaire Meets Dr. Seuss’.  Side One ends with a pleasant piano folk pop arrangement with both male and female vocals.  The harmonica flourishes in ‘Sinner’ actually work quite well against the female/male vocal interplay. The best track is rocker ‘Nothing At All’ with its guitar riffing, tempo change up and female backing.  A cool underground private press outing.
