Reef's new studio album Revelation is the revitalized west-country quartet's first studio effort since 2000's Getawayand their first with new guitarist Jesse Wood. It was recorded in Ireland and was produced by long-time collaborator George Drakoulias (The Black Crowes, Primal Scream, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers). If you attach credence to the name of Reef's albums allegorizing a specific phase of the band's history, Revelation is a special one. The band - without a doubt - have evolved musically well beyond their initial charm. Revelation gives insight into this advancement, without giving any doubt that it is a true Reef album. With songs like lead single "My Sweet Love" (featuring Sheryl Crow), "Revelation" and "Like A Ship (Without A Sail)," the band doesn't simply try to relive their past sound but cleverly fuse their past musical experiences into what Reef is today.
