The new self-titled album from Denver rock band Dressy Bessy has a lot going for it. It contains a bonus DVD featuring studio and live footage as well as a music video. But seriously, it's a charming release. The album has an infectious high energy British pop sound that is reminiscent of Ming Tea (of Austin Powers fame).
Singer/guitarist Tammy Ealom performs with such exuberance, it's easy to forgive fluctuations in pitch or bad sound work during their live performances shown on the DVD. Ealom, guitarist John Hill, drummer Darren Albert, and bassist Rob Greene all put a lot of effort into their music and it shows. If you don't believe me, watch the studio footage on the bonus DVD showing vocal and percussion overdubs.
Dressy Bessy's psychedelic 60s style is not the best music I've heard, but it isn't the worst either. Dressy Bessy won't change your life, but their new album is definitely worth listening to. You may even enjoy yourself.
