Reviews
"Superb sequencing of songs, great production, & the quartet's ability to entertain, gives this legs. The band lives up to its name on its belated 3rd album. They are as relevant as ever."
David Dawson - Beat Magazine (7 Mar 2007)
"It seemed a good idea at the time (1970) & it still is. Thirty four years between albums must make this a candidate for the Guinness Book of Rock Records. They've aged yes, but their music is just as good, even better. Its not rock revival its rock reinvention at its finest. Amazing. Welcome back guys!"
PS - Buzz Magazine - Rating: 5 stars (1 Mar 2007)
"An excellent album that was years in the making but worth the wait. 'The New Cool' is an eclectic mix of 50s doo wop, soul, sweet ballads & duelling guitar-fuelled rock'n'roll."
Nat Salvo - thedwarf.com.au (2 Feb 2007)
"The unmistakable 50s doo-wop mixed with 60s surf city sounds & duelling jangly guitars that states 'Daddy Cool' is evident across all tracks. Ross Wilson is in fine form, while drummer Gary Young lends his vocals to the very Australian, quirky & self-explanatory 'Getting Drunk'. Ross Hannaford's baritone is superb on 3 tracks, the outstanding one being 'Sun Is Always Shining'. 'Everybody's In The Mood' sees a swing/party groove layered over sax & harmonica. The team also deliver their first surf instrumental 'Waves'. The new Daddy is indeed back."
Mark Liebelt - db Magazine (10 Jan 2007)
"The awfulness of the tsunami of Boxing Day 2004 had few good outcomes. One may have been the re-formation of Daddy Cool to play at the February 2005 benefit concert in Melbourne. Live recordings from that event, including 'Come Back Again' (Ross Wilson's 2nd greatest song) & a fiery 'Daddy Cool' close this rollicking album, which brings together songs recorded over a period beginning in 1994. Daddy Cool's musical palette is broader than first glance might suggest & here is disco funk (the opener 'Daddy's Back', the crooning 'Sexy Girl') driving rock ('Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' on' & Howling Wolf's houserocker 'Everybody's In The Mood' with saxaphonic assistance from Paul Williamson & Julien Wilson) & group vocal doo-wopping ('$64,000 Question'). And if you're looking for an anthem try Gary Young's 'Getting Drunk'. As ever, the Cool are a socking unit & Ross Hannaford's guitar lines are testament to a fertility of imagination."
Ken Williams - The Age - EG (8 Dec 2006)
"Delightful & infectious retro grooves infused with humour & respect for the old forms."
