RENAISSANCE is a live album by Mickey Finn's T-Rex. It was released on 21st January 2002. The band plays songs made popular by the original T. Rex during the late 1960s and 1970s. Two of T. Rex's former band members, percussionist Mickey Finn and vocalist/drummer Paul Fenton appeared at an event to remember the 20th Anniversary of Marc Bolan's death. Bolan's son, Rolan had also showed up. The bash apparently went off quite good. Finn and Fenton started rehearsing with four other musicians and RENAISSANCE had surfaced. The six piece has successfully toured the UK and Germany. This is certainly no tribute band, but a branch of T. Rex that's been brought back to life. The disc's thirteen cuts are played decently well as these were the tunes the guys played while out on the road. The lead vocalist here, Rob Benson is actually good. One sad footnote, Mickey Finn had passed on a short time after the release of this CD. A good record to remember him by.
PERSONNEL: Rob Benson - lead vocals; Mickey Finn - bongo drums; Alan Silson - guitar; Dave Major - keyboards; Tony Allday - bass; Paul Fenton - drums.
Is there any excuse for buying an album of re-creations of old T. Rex hits that don't feature T. Rex mainstay Marc Bolan? To be cut and dried, nope, even if that band happens to feature two T. Rex alumni, Mickey Finn and Paul Fenton. Recorded in late 2001, all but a couple of these songs were T. Rex chart hits in the 1970s. Lead singer Rob Benson does actually sound like Marc Bolan. But to state the obvious, what's the point in hearing remakes that differ from the originals principally in the slightly updated arrangements, featuring more slick and modernized technology than was heard on the old T. Rex recordings? None, that's what, especially since all of those original versions remain easily available. The overall effect is that of hearing a faithful T. Rex cover band, albeit one that has more legitimacy than some cover bands due to the ties of two of the members to the original article.
