Big Blue Hearts - Here Come Those Dreams Again

One listen to Big Blue Hearts' new album, Here Come Those Dreams Again, would be enough to convince anyone that frontman David Fisher was raised on a steady diet of fifties and sixties music. But it's not true. And he can't really tell you how he came to channel those early-rock-and-roll spirits.

Big Blue Hearts sound is reminiscent of Roy Orbison,The Everly Brothers, Buddy Holly and comes into the modern age with hints of The Mavericks, Dwight Yoakam, and Chris Isaak. Beautiful, romantic, sexy music with a touch of twang.

But things weren't always so rosy in Fisher's life, and much of Big Blue Hearts' new album, defined by the singer's fearlessly intimate vocals, feels like tear-about-to-fall heartache. He says of the song Love or Something Like It, on which he sounds like he could break down at any moment, 'It's about wanting love so badly and not getting it. That kind of loneliness puts you in a very dark place.'
