Their original late-1970s sound is alive and kicking in this album by Young Modern (note: neither young nor modern). As a first-time listener, I can hear on the surface both James Reyne and the Rolling Stones -- and not just because of the cracking cover of the Stones' 'The Singer Not The Song'. So much more than this, I can hear the delicious sound of the forgotten soldiers with their authentic pub rock, instantly taking you back several decades when the light was golden. Although you can't actually hear it, this album somehow captures the phantom atmosphere of beer-soaked tables, glasses clinking; patrons chilling out to 'Red Dress On' and the fans right up the front going off as 'On Top of the World' starts to play. "Live at the Grace Emily" is not a world-class album, but it is genuine; and it does make you feel like you're right there having a great night out at a beloved local pub.
