Mark Clarke - Moving To The Moon

Mark Clarke - Moving To The Moon - 2010

The first album from the veteran bass player from Colosseum, Uriah Heep and Natural Gas (with Joey Molland and Jerry Shirley) has been a long time coming. After 40 years of his friends and fans asking for a solo album - here it is. And it's a masterful collection of extemely well recorded and performed tracks that rival any from the bands he's played in.

01. One Of These Days
02. A Cowboy's Song

03. Without You
04. Modeleine
05. You Save The Day
06. The Falling
07. Heaven and Hell
08. Movin' to the Moon
09. Then Forever Comes

Peter Banks - Can I Play You Something?

Peter Banks - Can I Play You Something? - 1999


from Music Index

For many Peter Banks is the forgotten man of Yes which is a shame as Peter was a founder member of that band and as such an important part of the jigsaw. Although Peter likes to look forward and has released a number of fine solo albums I get the impression he is quite proud of his time in Yes and his pre-Yes incarnation. His previous project was Something’s Coming, a double CD containing radio and TV performances of Yes prior to his departure in 1970.

For this release Peter goes back to recordings made between 1964 and 1968 including his appearances in The Syn and Mabel Greer’s Toyshop, two names familiar to Yes fans as they precluded the creation of that band. As a document of what went before Yes, this is a fascinating dig into the past and includes material that would eventually appear on the first Yes album.

Bobby Whitlock - Its About Time

Bobby Whitlock - Its About Time - 2000

From his days with Eric Clapton in Derek & the Dominoes, through his excellent session work and solo albums, Bobby Whitlock's talent has continued to spread itself across the canvas of rock & roll in shades of blue and other bright colors. With It's About Time, the colors blend into one of Whitlock's most intriguing creations yet.

Beginning with the hauntingly beautiful "There She Goes," Whitlock adds subtle nuances to the canvas, one on top of the other, until his creation has been completed. And what a creation it is, highlighted by spirited re-recordings of a couple of tunes co-written with Clapton -- "Why Does Love Got to Be So Sad" and "Bell Bottom Blues" -- and backed up with great new songs like the lovely "Standing in the Rain" and the rocking "Born to Sing the Blues." The musicians Whitlock brings to the project, including Steve Cropper, Jim Horn, and Buddy Miller, are another reason for the album's undeniable energy. "Sold Me Down the River" rocks with a Little Feat-ish vibe and features dead-on background vocals from Ashley Whitlock, while "It's Only Midnite" is filled with soul and passion. "Ghost Driver" is a haunting story of one man's final, high-speed ride through the night. "I Love You," a plea for loved ones to express their feelings for each other before it's too late, caps off this fine set from a musician we haven't heard enough from in recent years. 

01. There She Goes
02. Why Does Love Got to Be So Sad?
03. It's About Time
04. A Wing and a Prayer
05. Sold Me Down the River
06. It's Only Midnite
07. Standin' in the Rain
08. Born to Sing the Blues
09. High on You

Benjamin Hugg - Early One Morning & What´s Been Happening (repost)

Benjamin Hugg foi um cantor, compositor e guitarrista australiano  Ele lançou dois álbuns, Early One Morning (1974) e What's Been Happening (1975). Suas músicas são basicamente folk rock com boas pitadas de uma boa pop music. Ele chegou a excursionar com a sua "The Benjamin Hugg Band" composta por  Greg Johnson (guitarra), Keith Miller (baixo) e David Pitt (bateria). Após esse segundo disco ele simplesmente desapareceu de seu público.

Infelizmente, não disponho de mais informações sobre o artista, a não ser a de que ele morreu em decorrência de um câncer. Para sites como o Allmusic, ele simplesmente nunca existiu. No RateYourMusic, só umas capinhas em baixíssimas resoluções.

O Early One... já vi rolando por aí num vinil rip. Este segundo, ao que me consta, é uma raridade.

Divirtam-se todos!!!!!!!!!

Com o post de hoje dou como cumprida minha heróica e solitária batalha para reupar tudo de novo com uma conexão de internet sofrível. Ficou de fora uma ou outra coisa que acha-se fácil pela rede e alguns poucos que parecem não ter tido boa recepção.

Se mesmo assim alguém se deparar com um link morto, desde que não seja do único Juan Martin que postei, fiquem inteiramente a vontade para ser atendido (quase) prontamente.
