ALBUM: Tesla – Real to Reel

An album of cover versions of songs that your Dad might have liked. Great.

Tesla have been around peddling their turgid rock forever, and now they are covering some of their favorite songs that were originally released in the ’60s and ’70s. The band recorded the songs old school as well with tape instead of Pro Tools.

With covers of songs Deep Purple, Thin Lizzy, The Beatles and the Stones, you have to wonder why they would go to the trouble of recording an album’s worth of tracks that are never going to be as good as the original, all accompanied with a so-so singer. An exercise in pointlessness from start to finish.

Buy it here if you must.
