A happy by-product of V4Velindre is that this unreleased earworm has been taken out of cold storage by Jussi Helle and Jari Oisalo, who explained ‘Crazy Street is about surrendering oneself to the pure joy of recognizing good vibes in life. You don't need to pretend to be cool, you don't always have to make progress and commit yourself to new things. You can take a day, a year or a decade off and just groove to the beat and let it move your feet! I don't remember when it was recorded (sometime during winter 2018 with the 12-string guitar added this summer), but it was a song that really captured that 60s feeling I was looking for (Dylan, Stones)’.
Although I do agree I'd prefer more focus on the IRS era, this is a really solid collection of covers that delivers some unique takes. Totally inspired me to go back and listen to the original albums as well. Jean-Paul DuQuette
