Slim Chance - The Show Goes On Songs Of Ronnie Lane

Slim Chance - The Show Goes On Songs Of Ronnie Lane - 2013

Slim Chance foi a banda que Ronnie Lane formou quando ele deixou os Faces. Agora, depois de anos, diversos de seus ex-membros se juntaram, reformaram-a e estão na ativa novamente. 

The Show Goes On é um álbum com regravações das músicas da época de Lane, mas não soam como tributo e sim como versões. 

A banda é composta por uma galera que já trabalhou com um mundo de excelentes músicos (assim como Gene Simmons, viu Duga?). São eles:

STEVE SIMPSON - que trabalhou com Frankie Miller, Eric Bibb e Roger Chapman (tocou com Ronnie Lane em One for the Road).

CHARLIE HART - que trabalhou com Pete Brown, Ian Dury, Eric Clapton (participou dos álbuns One for the Road, Rough Mix, See Me e Rocket 69).

ALUN DAVIES - parceiro de longa data de Cat Stevens, além de Ralph McTell, Good Men in the Jungle (gravou o álbum See Me)

STEVE BINGHAM - tem gravações com Geno Washington, the Foundations, Colin Blunstone (trabalhou no álbum Anymore for Anymore)

COLIN DAVEY - esteve ao lado de gente como P.P. Arnold, Chris Farlowe, Ben E King, Charles Tolliver (assim como Steve Simpson, trabalhou no disco One for the Road)

Além destes, temos a participação especial de Nick Pentelow (Gary Moore, Arthur Brown, Bill Wyman) e Geraint Watkins (Paul McCartney, Mark Knopfler, Van Morrison, Carl Perkins e se juntou ao Slim Chance em 2004 durante o show tributo em homenagem a Ronnie Lane)

Bakerandband - From Humble Oranges

Bakerandband - From Humble Oranges - 1982

Bakerband foi uma banda (de tantas) formada pelo ex-baterista do Cream Ginger Baker, junto com o guitarrista  Doug Brockie e o baixista Karl Hill.

Até gostaria de falar um pouco mais desse (quase) desconhecido único disco e da banda, mas não achei nada além do set-list e formação.

O disco traz um mix de rock/pop e blues (vale a pena conferir Sore Head In The Morning Blues). Musicalmente o trio é coeso e poderoso, como tudo que Ginger Baker montou, mas, para mim, os vocais não acompanham o mesmo nivel de qualidade.

Rachel Fuller - Presents In The Attic with Pete Townshend and Friends

Rachel Fuller - Presents In The Attic with Pete Townshend and Friends - 2009

By Will Hermes from RollingStones.com

This double CD-DVD is culled from some homey 2007 showcases conceived by singer-songwriter Rachel Fuller, Pete Townshend's longtime partner. It's a mixed bag. Ben Harper and Amos Lee are predictably fine; a singing Jimmy Fallon, not so much. Naturally, Townshend is the main attraction: The Lou Reed duets are scrappy and essential. And when Tenacious D play an awesomely ridiculous Tommy medley for the Who composer, you can hear Jack Black loving his life mighty hard.

Top Topham -The Complete Blue Horizon Sessions

Top Topham -The Complete Blue Horizon Sessions - 2008

Anthony "Top" Topham  had the good fortune to be a founding member of the Yardbirds, one of the most respected rock acts to come out of mid-'60s England. He had the bad fortune, however, to have been born in 1947, and to be only 15 years old at the time of the group's formation.

Topham was a student at Epsom Art School when he and a good friend, singer/harpist Keith Relf, recruited drummer Jim McCarty, and from there assembled what was first called the Metropolitan Blues Quartet. They soon expanded their lineup and changed their name to the Yardbirds, and they seemed to have a promising enough future, especially after they attracted the interest of Giorgio Gomelsky, a club owner who became their manager. In a way, their future looked too promising, for the tastes of Topham's parents -- the other band members, encouraged by Gomelsky, wanted to turn professional, and Topham didn't have that option; his parents had always expressed misgivings about his involvement in music, and wouldn't consider letting their 15-year-old son leave school to pursue a career as a guitarist.
