Young Gun Silver Fox – Rolling Back

Young Gun Silver Fox – Kids
If youâre into Westcoast music, these are great times. Check Shawn Leeâs recent solo album Rides Again, for instance. Or look forward to Mamas Gunâs upcoming album, due to be released this spring. In a classic case of âthe whole is greater than the sum of its partsâ, MG frontman Andy âyoung gunâ Platts and Shawn âsilver foxâ Lee are also in a band together.
Next Friday, 21 February, Young Gun Silver Fox release their new album Canyons. This third collaborative record effortlessly combines laid-back â70s Westcoast music with a pinch of â80s pop. A golden formula that already convinced many fans of bands like The Eagles, Doobie Brothers, Hall & Oates and Steely Dan.
Do you have no idea what this sounds like? The albumâs new single Kids gives the answer. A great radio tune once again, which even contains a vocal sampling effect that reminds me of my beloved Prefab Sprout. Onwards and upwards to world domination!

Wildcard (week 30):
Young Gun Silver Fox (feat. Seaweed Horns) – Kingston Boogie
I admit, it would be a horrible thing to do, but what would happen if bands like Hall & Oates, Steely Dan, the Doobie Brothers, and Ace were thrown in a blender? It would give a mess, obviously, but musically, something deliciously juicy would come out. Luckily for us (and for the artists especially) itâs not necessary to do that blender thing, because the band whose sound incorporates all of the above (and more) has already stood up. And the best part is: despite of all these well-known ingredients they donât sound like clones, but are a phenomenon in their own right.
Iâm talking about Young Gun Silver Fox, of course, like I did before, when I recommended Lolita, Midnight In Richmond and Take It Or Leave It. All of these tracks can be found on the bandâs latest album AM Waves, but they decided to save the best for last. My favourite album track, Kingston Boogie, is YGSFâs new single. An ĂŒber sunny, sophisticated dance tune, and one of the tracks on the album to feature a horn section, the Seaweed Horns. In short: whatâs not to love about this song?
Kingston Boogie by Young Gun Silver Fox is this weekâs Carte Blanche Music Wildcard, meaning you can find and enjoy it here in only one mouse click. Wondering what other fine tunes were hand-picked as this blogâs âpowerplayâ? You can find them all in the Wildcards 2018 playlist.

Young Gun Silver Fox – Take It Or Leave It
Young Gun Silver Foxâs second album AM Waves was a âgreatest hitsâ album the moment it was released (which was yesterday). It features the singles that âyoung gunâ Andy Platts and Shawn âsilver foxâ Lee released in 2017: Lolita, Midnight In Richmond and Lenny, all of which got their fair share of airplay and landed the duo sold-out venues all over Europe.
Fourth single Take It Or Leave It sounds like their next hit. Itâs 100% original, and 100% recognizable at the same time. One second into the track you think youâre tapping along with The Doobie Brothersâ What A Fool Believes, while elsewhere your brain is tricked into singing Hall & Oatesâ Kiss On My List. Pure pop bliss of the timeless kind!

Young Gun Silver Fox – Midnight In Richmond
Earlier this year, Young Gun (Andy Platts) Silver Fox (Shawn Lee) released the single Lolita, that was not on their album West End Coast. Although that CD contains a few more single worthy songs, the band appears to have moved on. That is, what else could I conclude from their new single being brand new as well?
âBrand newâ must of course be interpreted with some flexibility, because Young Gun Silver Foxâs music sounds like it has been produced in the 70âs of the last century. The fact radio still loves it, only means the band managed to give it a magical timeless touch.
If Midnight In Richmond is your first encounter with this band, and you like it, then you can drag their whole repertoire into your playlist. And if you want to know where this is coming from, just look up some Eagles and Steely Dan tunes. Youâll like it, I give you my word!
Young Gun Silver Fox – Lolita
Itâs about time Young Gun Silver Fox got their well-deserved break-through. The band consists of âyoung gunâ Andy Platts (of Mamas Gun fame) and producer/multi-instrumentalist Shawn âsilver foxâ Lee. They make classic melodic soulful pop, drenched in sunny harmonies.
Listen to their album West End Coast (the title combines âWest Endâ, the London district where Lee has his studio, with âWest Coastâ, which is an obvious influence for the duo) and you know how that sounds. Or just start your journey with their brand new single, that is not on the album. The follow-up to You Can Feel It, Emilia, Long Way Back and See Me Slumber is entitled Lolita.

Your âAll-Timeâ Favourites (2017-2022)
The last six years, starting in 2017, I posted 10 musical recommendations per week on this blog. A total of well over 3.000 tracks, mostly by upcoming â often female (fronted) – artists from all over the world. As I explained yesterday, Carte Blanche Music is entering a new era. One in which Iâll focus my efforts on my constantly updated Spotify playlist.
For sure, that doesnât mean the blog is closing down. Itâll continue to be the home of my âbest ofâ collection (Wernerâs Weekly) on Monday mornings (CET) and my favourite new track (the Carte Blanche Music Wildcard), every Wednesday morning. Also, Iâll post the latest additions to my playlist on Saturdays. For updates, follow me on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
No better way to round up the last six years than by publishing the Your âAll-Timeâ Favourites, a chart compiling the 500 most popular (as in best-read) Carte Blanche Music recommendations from 2017 to 2022. Youâll find the Top 25 below, but click through for the full list. My original recommendations are behind the links. If youâre an artist, donât be shy and search (Ctrl+F) to find out if you made the list. You might be surprisedâŠ
