Big Star: Next Steps

Big Star: Next Steps

For a band whose existence was brief, Big Star packed enough rollicking power pop and glimmering rock into their records to leave a lasting mark. The funky, blazing “O, My Soul” finds them deep in the pocket of an easy groove, while “Mod Lang” delivers bluesy hooks with muscled-up overdrive. But the melodies—like the one floating above the symphonic grandeur of “For You”—were the sweet cherries on top.
