Daniele Tenca has decided to bring that record live and so was born Live For The Working Class, twelve tracks, most of his and a fist of covers including the springsteen Johnny 99, Red Headed Woman and Factory, a traditional (John Henry) and a blues by the Italian American Andy J.Forest, Breach In The Levee. With him there is a band that plays with the skill and determination of a proven American rock and roll band, a solid and well-amalgamated band that counts on the excellent work of guitars by Leo Ghiringhelli and Heggy Vezzano, on the rhythm section by Pablo Leoni and Luca Tonani and on the wonderful contribution of the Hammer by Cristiano Arcioni. For his part Tenca puts his voice, guitar and acoustics in the style of those songwriters who alternate anger and poetry in songs whose heart beats on the other side of the street, on the side of those who fight and those who hope for tomorrow best. It is the rock of the working class that materializes in such titles as Cold Comfort, Flowers at The Gates, The Mills Are Closing Down, He's Working and My Work No Longer Fits For You that evoke the landscapes of Youngstown and focus on deindustrialization , loss of work and dignity. unemployment, social injustice and mass impoverishment. The theme is very common on the agenda and Tenca, while standing up like a modern and electric John Henry, does not resort to sermons, slogans and easy conclusions but uses rock n 'roll for his electro-syndicalism and dirties him with blues and of ballads of rust and dust. The sound is what you can find on a record by Bruce, Mellencamp, Willie Nile by Joe Grushecky for which you are warned. It is not the first time that in Italy we hear similar stuff, were the Rocking Chairs to inaugurate a lineage still followed and applauded today, Tenca is one of the last members of this list but for this he metabolized the past experiences in a rock that does not disappoint , for honesty and effectiveness. The record was recorded in December 2010 at the Amiga Theater in Trezzo D'Adda.
