Rocky's Filj
Storie Di Uomini E Non
A band of very good musicians from Parma, Rocky's Filj (from the name of their leader Rocky Rossi, who came from Vicenza) gained a contract with Ricordi after a positive tour with Banco del Mutuo Soccorso, and the album was produced by Sandro Colombini, who had worked with Banco in their first albums. The album is jazz-rock oriented, but all the tracks have vocals, and Rocky's voice is very original. Instrumental parts are very well made, all the band members could professionally play various instruments and the album is always very enjoyable. The long opening track, L'ultima spiaggia, with dramatic vocals and long guitar and sax solo parts is a fine example of their music. Definitely a band that deserved more consideration, Rocky's Filj broke up soon after the album was recorded.
