Reviewby Greg Prato
By 1973's Tanx, the T. Rex hit-making machine was
beginning to show some wear and tear, but Marc Bolan
still had more than a few winners up his sleeve. It was
also admirable that Bolan was attempting to broaden the
T. Rex sound — soulful backup singers and horns are
heard throughout, a full two years before David Bowie
used the same formula for his mega-seller Young
Americans. However, Tanx did not contain any instantly
recognizable hits, as their past couple of releases had,
and the performances were not quite as vibrant, due to
non-stop touring and drug use. Despite an era of
transition looming on the horizon for the band, tracks
such as "Rapids," "Highway Knees," "The Street & Babe
Shadow," and "Born to Boogie" contain the expected
classic T. Rex sound. The leadoff track, "Tenement
Lady," is an interesting Beatlesque epic, while "Shock
Rock" criticizes the early-'70s glam scene, which T. Rex
played a prominent role in creating. Other highlights
include one of Bolan's most gorgeous and heartfelt
ballads, "Broken Hearted Blues," as well as the brief,
explosive rocker "Country Honey." Tanx marked the close
of what many consider T. Rex's golden era;
unfortunately, the bandmembers would drift off one by
one soon after, until Bolan was the only one remaining
by the mid-'70s.
