"Arabian Nights" makes you feel like you're both riding through the desert and at an arena rock concert at the same time. "Light of My Love" is also vintage Zebra, or for those of you who have never heard of this band, vintage Led Zeppelin. Trust me, there is no one I have ever seen or heard that sounds more like Robert Plant than Jackson. Some might call that ripping off, but I say he's just one of the few that can pull it off. That, and Zebra still has a more poppy side, as evidence by tracks such as "Who Am I" and "So I Dance." "Angels Calling" is a rock anthem for a new generation and "My Life Has Changed" is also a blazing track. "Why" is another introspective, melodic 12-string piece ala their big MTV hit from the '80s, "Who's Behind the Door?" There's somewhat of a personal bias here, as my buddy and I once drove from Boston to New York to see a Zebra show in a yellow VW Rabbit held together by a ratty t-shirt and duct tape. The songs may not be quite as magical as early Zebra but they're pretty damn close. That and just hearing this band again, exactly as they sounded 20 years ago, makes it feel like we've all lived in a bubble the whole time. Either that or the more likely realization that Zebra is back, and they still rock. ~Mike Farley mfarley@bullz-eye.com
