Don Nix - Going Down The Songs of Don Nix (Re-Re-Post)

Don Nix & Friends - Going Down The Songs of Don Nix - 2002

Don Nix has been the musical equivalent of a supporting actor in a career that has spanned more than 40 years. He played saxophone with the Mar-Keys, one of the first successful acts on Stax Records; produced albums for Freddie King, Albert King and Delaney & Bonnie; and sang at George Harrison’s Concert for Bangladesh. He made his biggest mark as a soul/blues/rock songwriter for such artists as the aforementioned Kings, Tracy Nelson, Clarence “Gatemouth” Brown, Jerry Garcia and J.J. Cale.

Going Down: The Songs Of Don Nix gives him the opportunity to revisit his old songs and present some new ones, with the help of a stellar supporting cast that includes Steve Cropper, Dan Penn, Tony Joe White, Bonnie Bramlett and Billy Lee Riley. At 61, Nix shows his voice has not lost its edge on the title track, a signature song for blues titan Freddy King. “Lucinda” recalls the spirit of a 1950s Little Richard rocker, while “Going Back To Iuka” has a swampy feel with White on lead guitar and Riley on lead vocals.

Hackamore Brick - Long Way Home

Hackamore Brick - Long Way Home - 2016

From AMG

Well, they've aged, which is no surprise. The first Hackamore Brick release in 38 years -- which is really original members Tommy Moonlight and Chick Newman sharing vocals, keyboards, and guitars, with Robbie Biegel on drums -- is better than one might hope, given the lapse of so much time. It's nowhere near as startling as their 1970 debut LP, One Kiss Leads to Another, which is also understandable; a lot of water has passed under the bridge around Newman and Moonlight, so that even if they had emulated their 1970 sound, what was cutting edge and even ahead of its time then would be decidedly retro today. But they haven't done that -- proto-punk sensibilities are long in their past, based on the brand of pop/rock that they've delivered here, and both seem heavily influenced by the music of Randy Newman (which is not a bad thing). Both are still good, expressive singers, with some strong songs to their credit -- Moonlight's "Call Me Home" and "Hurry Back Home" are the kinds of songs one could build a great set or a good singer/songwriter career on, and are worth the price of admission, and the latter song, which opens this 22-minute mini-album, shows some of the spare, minimalist stylistic elements that characterized their 1970-vintage work. But Chick Newman's "Going Around Together" is also a killer track in its own right, and paired with "Call Me Home" would have made one hell of a single 30-plus years ago. Newman writes movingly and personally about matters of love and time, and if he doesn't sing quite as attractively as Moonlight, his is still a voice worth hearing. There are a few flaccid moments, in the writing and the execution; Newman's "I Can't Get High Enough," for example, is attractive for what feels like all the wrong reasons, yet the song still pulls the listener in, mostly because of some great hooks and a fantastic bridge sequence. Anyone looking for the Velvet Underground influences of their 1970 work may be disappointed -- on the other hand, discovering what these guys are doing in 2009 is also worth the listen, and more than once. And one has to admire Newman and Moonlight for putting this record out at this late date -- they've obviously had music careers and didn't need to take a second bite of the apple as Hackamore Brick, but they did, and haven't come out badly, with at least three truly great songs between them and three more good ones.

01. Hurry Back Home
02. Where It All Began
03. I Can't Get High Enough
04. Call Me Home
05. Going Around Together
06. When I Get Home

TROC - TROC

TROC - TROC - 1972 (RE 2011 WITH BONUS TRACKS)

from Amazon

In the tradition of Miles Davis, Weather Report and others taking jazz to new shores in the early Seventies, Troc was a legendary yet short-lived quintet whose only album was issued in 1972 - a rough diamond from the seams of jazz/rock and other hallucinatory experiments. Drummer Andre Ceccarelli recently reformed the band to record Troc 2011 for Universal and its success prompted this reissue by Fremeaux of the band's epic first album - now available for the first time on CD - together with two bonus titles recorded at that same historic session.

Alan Ross - Are You Free on Saturday Night - 1977

Guitarist Alan Ross played on 2 of John Entwistle's solo albums in the early 70's, "Whistle Rhymes" and "Rigor Mortis Sets In". He was also part of Entwistle's touring band during that period. In 1973, he played guitar on Tim Hardin's album "Painted Head". That same year, he formed a band called Ro-Ro with bass player Warwick Rose and they released an album called "Meet At The Water" on the Regal Zonophone label. By 1974, he formed the group "Ross" with former Indian Summer keyboard player Bob Jackson. The band's career seemed to take off when they landed themselves a contract with RSO Records. They recorded 2 brilliant albums for the label, "Ross" and "The Pit And The Pendulum", released in 1974 and 1975. Eric Clapton, who was also an RSO artist toured the USA in 1974 and the Ross band was on the same bill. The band disbanded after two albums. In 1976, he appeared on the band Stars' self titled album. He released another 2 albums in 1977 and 1978, "Are You Free On Saturday" and "Restless Nights", this time for a small British label, Ebony Records under the name Alan Ross Band. In 1980, he appeared on an album by Wilson-Gale called "Gift Wrapped Set". In 1983, he played on Alexis Korner's album "Juvenile Delinquent".

Patto - Monkey's Burn (remasted and expanded edition)

Patto - Monkey's Burn (remasted and expanded edition) - 2017

Digitally remastered and expanded edition of the legendary final, unissued Patto album Monkey's Bum, recorded in 1973. One of the truly great bands of the early 1970s, Patto featured a line-up comprising Mike Patto (vocals), Ollie Halsall (guitar, vibes, keyboards, vocals), Clive Griffiths (bass) and John Halsey (drums). The band arose from the ashes of the group Timebox and were graced by the presence of the stunning guitar playing of Ollie Halsall and a highly original and unique musical style that set them aside from their Progressive Rock contemporaries of the era. This, the band's final album, was recorded in 1973 but was to be unissued due to the departure of guitarist Ollie Halsall during sessions and the final break-up of the band soon afterwards. Although issued in bootleg form, the album now finally receives an official release. This Esoteric Recordings edition of Monkey's Bum has been fully sanctioned by all members of the band and their representatives (for the first time ever) and includes three previously unreleased bonus tracks taken from a BBC Radio One John Peel show session from 12th February 1973.

Humble Pie - Official Bootleg Box Set Volume 3

Humble Pie - Official Bootleg Box Set Volume 3 - 2019

Humble Pie’s “Up Our Sleeve: Official Bootleg Box Set Vol 3” is latest recorded testament to what this band did best; playing bluesy, gutsy, soulful hard rock, live on stage. Drawn from a variety of audience recordings that have previously only been available as “under the counter” pirate releases, this is an honest and raw tribute to a classic and much missed super-group on the 1970s, released in conjunction with Pie founder member and drummer, Jerry Shirley.

Originally emerging from the remnants of 1960s beat heroes The Small Faces, Humble Pie formed in 1969 when mercurial guitarist and vocalist Steve Marriott joined forces with The Herd’s Peter Frampton, joined by drummer Jerry Shirley and bassist Greg Ridley.

After two albums for Andrew Loog Oldham’s Immediate label, Humble Pie switched to A&M records, and began their ascent to conquering the theatres and then arenas of North America, culminating in 1972’s double live “Performance: Rockin’ The Filmore”. Peter Frampton left shortly after to pursue a successful solo career, replaced by Clem Clempson. It was this line-up that is captured across these 5 discs.

Spread across CDs 1 & 2, The Pie were promoting their latest studio record “Smokin'” when they hit Gaelic Park, in Riverdale, NY on 22nd August 1972, from which ‘Hot ‘N’ Nasty’, ‘I Wonder’ and their cover of Eddie Cochran’s ‘C’mon Everybody’ were taken. Also featured are ‘Hallelujah (I Love Her So)’, ‘I Don’t Need No Doctor’, ‘Four Day Creep’ and ‘Rollin’ Stone’ from the previous year’s “Performance: Rockin’ The Filmore”.

Recorded three days later, CD 3 features a similar set, as well as their take on the Stones ‘Honky Tonk Women’ plus ‘Up Our Sleeve’, both of which would feature on 1973’s “Eat It”.

By the time they hit Boston’s Music Hall on 10th April 1973 featured on CD 4, Humble Pie had been joined by the Blackberries, Venetta Fields, Clydie King & Billie Barnum. Promoting the new double LP “Eat It”, the set includes band original ‘Up Our Sleeve’ as well as Pie’s take on Ray Charles’ ‘I Believe to My Soul’. The set is rounded off with ‘Twist And Shout’.

This collection is completed on CD 5 with their 25th May 1973 gig at Philadelphia’s Spectrum. Again joined by the Blackberries, the set includes a cover of John Lee Hooker’s ‘Boogie Chillun’ and Sly & The Family Stone’s ‘I Want to Take You Higher’.
