Ezio
This Is The Day
The delivery is always poignant, at times deadpan funny, melancholic, political, sarcastic and quite mean, indeed. Not so comfy and nice as some of the records would want you to believe. It's always been a wee bit the "Let It Be/Phil Spector" dilemma with Ezio. Great songs and sentiments,... but who let the string section and choir in? So, here we finally have the ultimate "Ezio in a nutshell" record. Sans the floss and ear candy. Recorded in a very, very rustic country house studio in northern Germany in two short explosive sessions, This is the Day captures Ezio's songs and performance in their most potent form. And lo and behold how this rough diamond will sparkle!
