ROSS `THE BOSS` IS BACK KICKING ARSE IN 2010




The blog tonight is about Ross Wilson, the former frontman of Daddy Cool and Mondo Rock. I have never hid my respect for this man's underrated musical talents, I have always regarded him higher than Johnny O`Keefe and a lot of another self anointed kings of Australian rock. 

After a very long hiatus from the business of making brand new studio rock albums of new material, if you discount Ross`s country tinged `Country and Wilson`, he has finally made a triumphant return in 2010 with the new album `I Come in Peace`. 

Some songs on it are very raw and not polished, while others hark back to the sophistication which prevailed on Ross`s brilliant studio album of 1989, `Dark Side of
The Man`.

It`s the album where Ross Wilson has finally
come right back down to earth and created an amalgam sound befitting his new found creativity. 

There is a lot of country on this album, the kind of country you`d expect trom The Flood, like gritty R&B fueled country-ish rock. And there are some great atmospheric rock moments on here as well.

Check it out, `I Come In Peace` by the mercurial aussie rocker Ross Wilson. It was released on Shock and is available at all good music stores around Australia.

    Hi Tim,

    Thanks for the review. Quite frankly I have been mystified by the lack of reviews I have received for 'I Come In Peace'. Just a handful & good to excellent but just not enough to get the Word out there. The good news is that the title track ICIP received a lot of commercial radio airplay, especially on regional networks, & the newie 'I Got You' is receiving an even better response from programmers. Do you know how many 60+ Oz Rockers receive airplay? Only me I reckon, so I may be pioneering a new era where less age-ism prevails. Let's hope so & thanks again for including me in 'Lost Treasures'.

    Peace, Ross Wilson
