Goodtimes Goodtimes
The music on Goodtimes Goodtimes (www.goodtimesgoodtimes.co.uk) debut, ‘Glue”, could easily have been brought to you by the waitress in a 1970’s Greenwich Village coffeehouse. The audio compliment to the espresso you ordered. Goodtimes Goodtimes is a solo project of Italian-born, London resident Franc Cinelli. The resulting album is a folk stew mixed with a healthy dollop of blues. The voice bends, breaks, rejoices and offers advice as needed. As Franc states in the bio, his songs draw on “the usual suspects; girls, that night when I couldn’t bite my lip and it got me into trouble, my mates, Johnny Cash, dance halls and love." These songs come alive. The vocals have the ability to bring in an honesty that delivers each track with its story fully intact and understood.
Perky strums and shuffles open ‘Kids’ and the words immediately describe all those sitting at the feet of the storyteller, “All you kids that go rushing to the dance hall in your shiny shoes to hear your favorite records”. The kids moniker could apply to ages eight to eighty. The full story comes through as those same kids exit “sweaty and smiling like the sun”. where they land “forever changed”, “hit by a loaded gun”. The track is made for lovers of music and no one who has ever been glued to speakers, stayed in the car to let the song finish or kept the iPod on repeat cannot relate to this tale. The mood slows but the emotion stays intact on ‘Summer’. The haunting and hushed voice spreads the news of “summer starting early this year”. The track plays like an open letter to the left at home affection of the traveling troubadour.
 ‘Glue” is the work of a one man band upping the ante for the songs. Recorded on a Yamaha eight track that has left this world, the promise heard in the sunny texture of “Sunshine Sunshine”, the wandering of “Sea Shanty” and the rock solid punch of “For All My Kingdom” will be fleshed out into a formal outfit for future releases. The growing band/sound has been informed by years of traveling and playing the East US coast and the UK. Look to the future to provide more tales of life, love, losing and winning from Goodtimes Goodtimes.
