Chris Spedding - Songs Without Words


















Chris Spedding - Songs Without Words - 1970 (RE 2015)

from AMG
One of Britain's most versatile session guitarists, Chris Spedding has had a long career on two continents that saw him tackle nearly every style of rock & roll to come down the pike, as well as sporadically attempting a solo career. The fact that he never quite broke through to stardom, except in his native England, in parts of Europe, and in professional music circles, is more a result of bad timing and worse luck than any lack of talent or commitment on his part.

Spedding was born in Sheffield, England, in 1944. His family moved to Birmingham in the mid-'50s, by which time he had already taken up music, playing the violin in his school orchestra. That all changed when he discovered rock & roll, initially with Bill Haley & His Comets and later Elvis Presley. According to Chris Welch in a 2004 article, Spedding began to strum his violin like a guitar, and the Rubicon had been crossed. Thanks to his music lessons, Spedding was already proficient on several instruments, including the piano, and could also sight-read, which put him several cuts above the typical aspiring rock & roller of the time, who might not have known three chords.


01. Station Song
02. Plain Song
03. Song Of The Deep
04. The Forest Of Fables
05. New Song Of Experience
06. I Thought I Heard Robert Johnson Say

Calvin Fuzzy Samuel - Organic Blues


















Calvin Fuzzy Samuel - Organic Blues - 2000

Born in Antigua, in the Caribbean, he grew up in London, England, teaching himself to play various instruments including ukelele, guitar, keyboards, and establishing a reputation as a bassist, touring England and Europe with various Ska, Reggae and Soul bands. He played with guitarist Junior Marvin in his band, Blue Ace Unit where he got the nickname 'Fuzz' by playing his bass through a fuzz box. Junior would later join Bob Marley and the Wailers. He recorded for the successful band, The Equals, lead by Eddy Grant and then formed a trio, The Sundae Times with schoolmate, Dell Richardson (later with Osibissa) on guitar and vocals and drummer Conrad Isadore, his rhythm section mate from Joe E Young & The Tonics. One album was released, Us Colored Kids, scoring a top ten hit in Israel with a song called Abba Abba, written and produced by Eddy Grant. The trio disbanded.

The rhythm section of Fuzz and Conrad were then hired to record Stephen Stills' first solo album which included superstars Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Mama Cass, Rita Coolidge, Ringo Starr, Billy Preston and The Memphis Horns. During this time he worked with P.P. Arnold performing under the name Axis.

A big break came getting him a position with Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. Working sessions between London and Los Angeles, he became part of Manassas, with Stephen Stills, Chris Hillman, Dallas Taylor, Joe Lala, Paul Harris and Al Perkins, cutting two albums and touring for three years while finding time to do concerts with America.

Wrote and recorded songs with Marianne Faithful along with Steve Winwood in the early '80s. Later he joined the Alvin Lee Band along with Mick Taylor and Tom Compton. For Taj Mahal, he worked on the Broadway musical, Mule Bone written by Langston Hughes and Zora Lee Hurston, with music composed by Taj starring blues man Kenny Neal. In the early '90s he teamed up with Bobby Keys, Mick Taylor, Nicky Hopkins and Ivan Neville as Tumbling Dice.

Frank Zappa Hot Rats Sessions - 50th Anniversary - Boxed Set, Anniversary Edition - 6 CDS

















Frank Zappa Hot Rats Sessions - 50th Anniversary - Boxed Set, Anniversary Edition - 6 CDS - 2019

Unless you were around and musically aware in 1969 when this, Frank Zappa’s first official solo album, was unleashed, it’s hard to understand how revolutionary it was. Fifty years later, little has changed.

Hot Rats remains arguably Zappa’s finest project, which is saying plenty considering his catalog now numbers over 100 releases. But five decades ago, this explosive combination of free jazz, fusion jazz-rock, avant-garde and intricately crafted classically influenced compositions proved that Frank Zappa was so far ahead of most of his contemporaries as to make nearly anything else released in that watershed year seem tame in comparison.

Robby Krieger - Red Shift (1979)


















Robby Krieger - Red Shift (1979) - 2019

In 1978, Doors fan Mack Mckenzie knocked on Robby Krieger’s door with a demo tape in hand, hoping Robby might fulfill a dream and collaborate with him. After listening to the demo, Robby agreed and recruited friends Arthur Barrow (Frank Zappa), Vinnie Colaiuta and Don Poncher to be in a short-lived band called “Red Shift”. They cut seven tracks in the studio, had a few gigs in Los Angeles, and for unknown reasons, “Red Shift” disbanded.

Forty years later, we can now enjoy this time capsule of the emerging punk scene in Los Angeles.
