Average Rating:
 Rating: - Tesla!American hard rockers TESLA are back on the scene, and this, their 6th studio album, is a collection of classic rock covers from the 1960's and 1970's. While their fans would have preferred a collection of original material, 'Real to Reel' is an enjoyable nod to the (very) old school. The production is deliberately old fashioned as the album was recorded using analogue equipment, and this makes for a raw, energetic performance. DEEP PURPLE's 'Space Truckin' and UFO's 'Rock Bottom' provide great headbanging material, but in all honesty, while solid enough, neither version here has anything like the magic of the originals. For me, it's always the more obscure songs that make an album like this worthwhile, even if it ...

Still a nice double album. Rating:  - the reel deal teslafiedfantastic album start to finish when a band do a covers album you tend to cringe,not here from deep purples space truckin through led zeps thank you on to a ball dropping version of ball of confusion by the temptations which i think is the best track on disc one.bell bottom blues is another well covered track,good to hear frank hannon putting his own striking guitar work to these tracks,jeff keith sounds brillaint too.the only track im not keen on is the rolling stones honky tonk woman well covered but im not the biggest stones fan.look forward to getting my hands on the second disc to hear black sabbaths war pigs theres a song and ahalf along with lynard skynards saturday night special, and a song by the great areosmith seasons of wither a fantastic ...

There is no doubting the love Tesla have for the music they are playing,and respect is afforded to all of the songs they cover.Sensibly,the band have stuck[more or less] to their rock roots[declaring,somewhat hopefully, in the sleevenotes to be a band successful in the wrong decade],and they cheerfully run through songs by Deep Purple,U.F.O,[and it has to be said,a blistering version of "Rock Bottom"],Robin Trower,The James Gang,and Thin Lizzy with an almost reverential approach[its ...
