Album Review: No Man Alive We’ve Climbed A Mountain by Davy Jr And The Guess Who If you’re a fan of raw, unfiltered sounds that blend funk, soul, and garage rock into something uniquely alive, then No Man Alive We’ve Climbed A Mountain might just be your next obsession. Released in 1969 via Ronnex Records outta the Benelux region, this little-known gem from Davy Jr And The Guess Who is like stumbling upon an old vinyl at a flea market—you don’t expect much, but once it spins, you can’t stop listening. The album kicks off with “No Man Alive,” a track that feels like it’s been brewed in some smoky basement jam session. It grooves hard, blending gritty guitar riffs with a soulful undertone that sticks to your ribs. What makes this one memorable? It’s messy in all the right ways—like when the drummer seems to lose count for half a second, but instead of ruining the vibe, it adds this human touch that polished records often lack. You can almost picture the band sweating under dim lights, feeding off each other’s energy. There’s no pretense here; just pure, untamed creativity. Then there’s “We’ve Climbed A Mountain.” This tune leans more into the soul side of things, with vocals so heartfelt they feel like they’re pulling you up the titular mountain alongside them. The lyrics are simple yet earnest, capturing that universal struggle of pushing forward despite everything telling you to quit. The organ swells midway through give it a gospel-like lift, making it impossible not to nod along or even hum along if you're feeling bold. Honestly, I found myself rewinding this track multiple times—not because I missed anything, but because sometimes you need to hear those peaks again to believe how good they felt the first time. What strikes me about this record isn’t just its genre-blurring sound—it’s the way it refuses to take itself too seriously. Sure, there are moments where the production feels dated (hello, lo-fi charm), but that’s part of its appeal. In a world obsessed with perfection, No Man Alive We’ve Climbed A Mountain reminds us that music doesn’t have to be flawless to move you. If anything, its imperfections make it linger longer in your mind. So yeah, while this album may never top any mainstream charts—and let’s face it, most people probably haven’t heard of it—it deserves a spot on your playlist if you dig digging for hidden treasures. Listening to it feels less like consuming art and more like eavesdropping on a private moment between musicians who didn’t care about fame—they just wanted to play. And honestly? That’s kinda refreshing. P.S. Fun fact: Did anyone else notice how the cover art looks like someone doodled it during lunch break? Love it.

Ik heb nooit geweten dat Erwin en Eric, van de OK-Club, een rockband hadden, en konden zingen. Zeker niet slecht ??? ?
