Tyla & The Dogs – Bloody Hell Fire

When Tyla of 80’s Glam rock band Dogs D’Amour decided to go solo he produced so many albums they were actually over lapping one another. Tyla’s earlier solo work was more bluesy rock almost like his Dogs D’Amour. As time went on Tyla experimented in certain styles even when he reformed Dogs D’Amour. Now Tyla & The Dogs actually is Tyla as the only original Dog. “Bloody Hell Fire” is a double CD collection of electric and acoustic material. I would compare this to Tyla’s “Libetine” and “Lullaby For Tough Guys” CDs. It’s classic Tyla we know & love. Tyla gives us 2 versions of “111” and “Supreme Creator”. I have to say the electric version of “111” is one of my favorite tunes. There is a handful of electric tracks that appear on this CD that really rock & love to hear more of this. Most of the CD is acoustic ballads which is not a bad thing by no means.

The CD booklet includes Tyla’s art and lyrics. It’s also good to point out that the CD is in memory of Paul Raven from Killing Joke. Paul & Tyla played in Kitsch way back in ’79.
