Impressive Narrative, Strong Vocals, Imaginative Album
The Venetian isn’t so much a band as a force majeure. Digging into the band’s past leads to more questions than answers. Somewhere out there is a singer/songwriter who delights in blending the early roots of music and opera with the raw blend of rock and roll. He is The Venetian, and his album is called I Wanna Tell You A Story.
From a songwriting experience, I Wanna Tell You A Story is very much up and down. “Goodbye” and “Dancing Angel” are tremendously vibrant rock and roll numbers while exploring disparate timbres and sounds. The mischievous rock waltz instrumental “Soft Snow” is brilliant, sounding as if it were inspired by the Gypsy violin style of Stephane Grappelli. “Lullaby” is the closer; where all of the son’s struggles for understanding finally resolve in a song in which he reaches out and touches the soul of his father. It’s a wonderfully uplifting moment both in poetry and song, and draws the entire experience e together. “My Black Cat” is also a treat, bringing a slinky, cool jazz feel to the proceedings.

Amazing
The Venetian is incredibly unique. Songs like 'Dancing Angel' have powerful melodies with creative musical arrangements. 'I Wanna Tell You A Story' is the greatest rock opera of the 21st century.
