Andy Fraser - Naked... and Finally Free

Andy Fraser - Naked... and Finally Free - 2005

Para quem conhece seus antigos trabalhos junto com a Free e mesmo sua discografia solo, Naked... pode, na primeira audição, ser um enorme susto para os fans de Andy Fraser. Sua música já não é mais a mesma, não é rock. É uma boa mistura, que alguns anos atrás convencionou-se chamar de "world music", com muitas influências e ritmos.

Nesse álbum Fraser brilha mais como intérprete do que como o músico que desde os tenros anos de sua adolescência já tocava com John Mayall. Acredito que tudo que ele passou, sobrevivendo a um câncer, a uma enorme cirurgia na garganta e aprendendo a conviver com a aids, contribuiu para essa profunda mudança musical. A música de artistas do quilate de Fraser sempre acompanha o homem, independentemente da moda e do mercado. É natural que sua música, principalmente nas letras, sofra influência dos obstáculos que teve que passar.

Foram 21 anos entre Naked... e seu trabalho anterior, "Fine, Fine, Fine" (que já foi postado no blog). Vinte e um anos moldam a vida de qualquer um e no caso dele com marcas profundas. Entretanto, com todas estas mudanças Fraser manteve o alto nível de suas composições, mesmo que, como disse, estas a princípio assustem àqueles que estão presos a um passado que certamente não voltará.

Steve Winwood - Blossom Music Center (Re-post)

Steve Winwood - Blossom Music Center - 1987

Esta gravação é de um concerto realizado a 18 jan 1987 em Westwood One, Cleveland, da primeira turnê de "Back In The High Life". A qualidade do som é muito, muito boa. No show há uma apanhado geral da carreira de Winwood, não se limitando ao set-list do disco então recém lançado. Algumas das canções aqui presententes acompanharam Winwood ao longo dos anos 80 e início dos 90, tais como While See...  e Freedom Overspill. O disco abre com Low Spark apenas com a voz e o piano de Steve, em uma versão curta e até então inédita em seus shows. Existe duas outras versões para esse disco: uma de uma transmissão FM (com um set-list mais curto) e outra, em vinil duplo, que contempla todo o show. Mas este não é de minha posse...

Esse disco também circula como live in Cleveland

Leo Lyons' KICK - Tough Trip Through Paradise

Leo Lyons' KICK - Tough Trip Through Paradise - 1994

Ten Years After bass player, Leo Lyons, and Tony Crooks began a song writing partnership back in 1987,  this led to the formation of the band KICK. The band’s first gig was a festival in Hamburg, playing in front of 12,000 people. Ffollowing this, they continued to tour extensively for several years throughout the mid 90s, during which time they released two CDs – ‘Heartland’ and ‘Tough Trip Through Paradise’. 

‘Heartland’ was first released in Japan in 1992, the line-up was Tony Crooks - guitar/vocals; Leo Lyons - bass; Andy Nye - keyboards/backing vocals (former Michael Schenker group) and Kex Gorin - drums (former Magnum).

 ‘Tough Trip Through Paradise’, was released in 1994, the line-up that year including: Leo Lyons - bass; Tony Crooks - guitar/vocals; Steve Rodford and Mark Price - drums; Don Airey - keyboards and Jon Willoughby - guitar/backing vocals. The KICK are not currently touring but Tony and Leo continue to work together on different projects, building up a large catalogue of songs, many of which have been recorded by other artistes. The reformation of Ten Years After in 2002 has generated a new interest in the KICK and in response to the many requests to re-release the back catalogue.

Ric Lee's Natural Born Swingers - Put A Record On

Ric Lee's Natural Born Swingers - Put A Record On - 2013

 

Ric Lee, drummer with Ten Years After and pianist Bob Hall, a founder member of Savoy Brown, together with Danny Handley (Vocals & Guitar) and Scott Whitley (Bass & Vocals) are recreating the halcyon days of the British Blues Invasion with a new band, Ric Lee’s Natural Born Swingers. Their new album “Put A Record On” will be released in the UK on 5th November 2012.

The Blues, music born around the turn of the 20th century among poor black sharecroppers in the American rural south, somehow resonated with British teenagers in the 1960s and became British blues, or blues-rock. The British Blues Invasion took America by storm over the next decade, and two of the foremost groups to play this new music were Ten Years After and Savoy Brown. Ten Years After appeared at the legendary Woodstock Festival and both they and Savoy Brown had many hits in the succeeding years.

Ric Lee’s Natural Born Swingers’ explosive blend of early Ten Years After swing and shuffle favourites and original material is stirring fond memories among TYA fans, blues fans and many new friends among the younger generation. The album features appearances by special guest artists, Paul Jones (The Manfreds & The Blues Band) on harmonica, Virgil McMahon (Virgil and The Accelerators) Guitar, Kim Simmonds (Savoy Brown) Guitar, Son Henry (Son Henry Band) Steel Guitar and Steve Beighton (Paul Carrack) Brass.

Steve Ellis - The Love Affair is Over (re-repost)

Steve Ellis - The Love Affair is Over - 1983

from AMG

In 1977, ex-Love Affair singer Ellis recorded an album called The Last Angry Man with producers Tony Meehan and Dave Courtney. When Meehan and Courtney had a dispute, the album was withdrawn, although some cassette copies were issued by Ariola briefly in 1978. This CD marked the first time the album was widely available, with the addition of seven previously unreleased bonus tracks recorded in 1983.

Ellis was in the tradition of British rock/soul/blues belters such as Steve Marriott (his closest vocal counterpart) and Rod Stewart, and there are also traces of Robert Plant and Van Morrison. He was not nearly in the same league as any of those singers, mind you, but he was OK. A couple of name guitarists (Albert Lee and Henry McCulloch) contributed to the sessions on The Last Angry Man, which yielded average though unobjectionable mainstream late-'70s rock with shades of folk-rock, mellow singer/songwriting, blue-eyed soul, and hard rock riffing.

The seven 1983 songs (subtitled as the Basement Days portion of this disc) are again generic 1970s-type British rock, though the material is weaker, and the style by this time not at all in sync with what was either hip or commercial. The most interesting aspects of this archival release, to be honest, are the thorough liner notes, which cover Ellis' entire career dating back to the Love Affair days

Steve Ellis - A Sort of Innocence (re-repost)

Steve Ellis - A Sort of Innocence - 2004

Steve Ellis will forever carry the millstone that is 'Everlasting Love'. It seems to crop up with worrying frequency on most of his albums, and on this new solo offering it is featured twice. Ageing rockers and pop pickers will recall that it was Ellis who fronted teen sensations Love Affair and scored a No.1 hit with that song in 1968.

Fortunately the two versions are different to the original, the live version recorded when Ellis was a guest at a Paul Weller gig in 2001 and featuring the Modfather on guitar.

Following a low-key career revival and spurred on by recent CD and DVD releases, this  album is very good. Ellis not only has Weller guesting on a couple of studio tracks, including Weller's own composition, the opening track "Brand New Start", but he managed to pull in Roger Daltrey for a spot of harp blowing in "Nu Clear Blues" and "Yellow Rose Of Texas".

That's where big-name support ends, but with an excellent backup band and featuring two songs by newcomer Sam Smith, Ellis doesn't really need the bunk-up. Ellis' own songs are a mixture of nicely-styled pop-rock with blues and soul overtones.

Whilst an album like this will always remain niche with limited mass appeal, it is good to hear Ellis again. In general the songwriting and playing is top-draw and will appeal to ageing rockers and those for whom the letters AOR provoke unashamed anticipation.

This CD has been withdrawn from the market in 2008 and is replaced by "Best Of Days".

David Bowie - The Stars (are out tonight)

David Bowie - The Stars (are out tonight) - SINGLE - 2013

Lançado na última terça-feira este single revisita a sonoridade de David dos anos anos e estará presente em seu primeiro disco em 10 anos. Em janeiro Bowie já havia lançado outro single, "Where Are We Now".

Afastado da mídia desde sua última apresentação ao vivo em 2006, suas raríssimas aparições públicas levantaram rumores sobre uma piora em seu estado de saúde (David teve um infarto em 2004). Mas no clipe que acompanha o lançamento, vimos o músico em aparente boa forma física.

No clipe, além de Bowie. temos a presença da atriz britânica Tilda Swinton e do modelo andrógino Andrej Pejic. Nele Bowie e Swilton formam um casal comum que tem sua vida perturbada por um casal (Pejic e Saskia Brown) nada convencional.

Eu podia jurar que esse negócio de música digital, computador, download eram coisas de gente que gosta de pirataria. Agora descobri que tem mais gente como eu, que COMPRA.

E observe que o Itunes só começou por aqui no finalzinho do ano passado.
