AC1 - Goodbye My Friend

Review by Lori Webb

Goodbye My Friend, the latest album from AC1, is a heartfelt tribute to the band's fallen member, Alex Chilton. The album features a mix of original songs and covers that showcase the band's unique blend of rock, blues, and soul.

From the opening track, "Goodbye My Friend," it's clear that AC1 is not afraid to wear their emotions on their sleeves. The song is a touching tribute to Chilton, with lyrics that speak to the pain of loss and the hope of reunion in the afterlife.

Other standout tracks include "Soul Searching," a bluesy number that showcases the band's tight musicianship, and "The Letter," a cover of the classic Box Tops hit that features a soulful vocal from lead singer, John Doe.

While there are moments of sadness and reflection on the album, there are also moments of joy and celebration. "Rock and Roll Party" is a rollicking tune that celebrates the power of music to bring people together, while "I'm Gonna Make You Love Me" is a playful duet that showcases Doe's chemistry with guest vocalist, Jane Smith.
