Album Review: Imelda May - Tribal

Imelda May is here to once again cure what ails you.

More Imelda May More Imelda May

The cover image says it all. A fiery rockabilly diva, the irrepressible Imelda May returns with Tribal, picking up where she left off with 2010's Mayhem. Riled up with frenetic riffs, but juxtaposed with melodic – even tender – moments, this is most certainly a record for dancing in the living room in trackie dacks on a Saturday night. Inflections of jazz, guitar solos that would make Chuck Berry blush and a healthy dose of the blues combine in a mighty refreshing hit of high-octane rock'n'roll. Imelda May is here to once again cure what ails you.
