Elvin Bishop Struttin My Stuff 1975 us fine southern funky blues rock 2013 japan SHM remaster

Elvin Bishop Struttin My Stuff 1975 us fine southern funky blues rock 2013 japan SHM remaster Shortly after recording this show for the King Biscuit Flower Hour in April 1976, Elvin Bishop, along with his current album at that time, Struttin My Stuff, made it to the #2 position on the Billboard pop chart and went gold (thanks, in large part, to its hit single, "Fooled Around And Fell In Love"). The single was already a hit, but it was this Biscuit show that gave Bishop his first extensive national radio exposure. In addition to Elvin Bishop himself on guitar and vocals, the group featured on his recording was made up of bassist Fly Brooks, keyboardist Bill Slais, second guitarist Johnny Vernazza, drummer Donny Baldwin and vocalists Reni Slais and Mickey Thomas. Thomas, who had charted his first international hit as the singer on "Fooled Around," would emerge two years later (along with Baldwin) as a member of rock-revamped Jefferson Starship, with whom they would re...

Essra Mohawk Essra Mohawk 1974 us elegant avant jazzy funk smooth rock 2010 bonus tracks edition

Essra Mohawk Essra Mohawk 1974 us elegant avant jazzy funk smooth rock 2010 bonus tracks edition Philadelphian Essra Mohawk is best known as the answer to the trivia question: �Who was the first female Mother (of Invention)?� She joined Frank Zappa and the band in 1967. Her name was Sandy Hurvitz back then, although Zappa dubbed her �Uncle Meat� for obscure reasons. But Mohawk had been in the music business for several years before her association with the Mothers at age 19. She recorded a single for Liberty when just 16 years old (�The Boy with the Way�, b-side �Memory of Your Voice�) and wrote songs recorded by the Shangri-Las and Vanilla Fudge. In 1969, Mohawk, nee Hurvitz, put out her first solo album, Sandy�s Album Is Here at Last!, on Zappa�s Bizarre record label. The record went basically unproduced (fellow Mother Ian Underwood is credited) and suffers from poor sound quality and other technical issues. Collectors� Choice has recently reissued this album and Mohawk�s next two re...

Dust Hard Attack 1972 HARD ROCK United States Estados Unidos

Dust Hard Attack 1972 HARD ROCK United States Estados Unidos Assim como CAPTAIN BEYOND, WARHORSE, ANDROMEDA e muitas outras bandas hard maravilhosas da virada dos anos 60 para os 70, o DUST tamb�m teve uma carreira mete�rica, lan�ando apenas dois discos, muito pouco para uma banda brilhante e cheia de id�ias legais para desenvolver. Um ponto muito interessante nesse seu segundo registro "Hard Attack" lan�ado em 1972 � que o Dust n�o tinha uma preocupa��o excessiva em fazer um som pesado, pelo contr�rio: "So Many Times" tem at� uma dobradinha muito bacana de guitarra e viol�o, sem comprometer o resultado final para quem gosta de peso. Somado a isso, temos a voz de Richie Wise, dono de um timbre muito bonito (ou�a a bel�ssima "Thusly Spoken", por exemplo), o baix�o quadrado de Kenny Aaronson e a batera certeira de um tal Marc Bell, que achou melhor mudar o nome alguns anos depois para Marky Ramone, depois que juntou-se aos Ramones. Imagine Oswaldo Montenegro...

Dust Dust 1971 HARD ROCK United States Estados Unidos

Dust Dust 1971 HARD ROCK United States Estados Unidos O DUST foi formado em Nova Yorque no final de 1969 por tr�s garotos que gostavam de CREAM, THE WHO e outras bandas inglesas. Nova Yorque n�o era uma cidade com tanta tradi��o no Rock como eram Los Angeles, San Francisco, Detroit, etc, mesmo contando com bandas seminais como o Velvet Underground e Vanilla Fudge. Esses garotos eram Richie Wise (18 anos, guitarrista e vocalista), Kenny Aaroson (20 anos, baixista) e Marc Bell (16 anos, baterista). Kenny Kerner, empres�rio, tamb�m era considerado um membro do grupo e era respons�vel pelas letras e produ��o. O Dust foi um trio  que colocou o �power� nos power trios  na linha dos tamb�m americanos BLUE CHEERS e dos seus conterr�neos novaiorquinos SIR LORD BALTIMORE. Em pouco menos de dois anos, conseguiram um contrato para seus dois �nicos discos: Dust, lan�ado em 1971 e Hard Attack, de 1972, tendo como empres�rio o (hoje) legend�rio Neil Bogart (mais conhecido por ter descoberto ...

ELIAS HULK Unchained 1970 HARD ROCK United Kingdom Reino Unido

ELIAS HULK Unchained 1970 HARD ROCK United Kingdom Reino Unido Elias Hulk � uma banda de Heavy-Prog muito interessante do Reino Unido. Similar a algumas da �poca como FUZZY DUCK, T2, HIGH TIDE ou Proto-Prog como ANDROMEDA e DEEP PURPLE. Foi formada no final dos anos 60 e gravou apenas esse registro em 1970. Pode-se descrever este �lbum como uma mistura de: Hard Rock e Blues, com influ�ncias psicod�licas e com um �timo vocal. � interessante que Peter Thorpe pode cantar muito pacificamente em algumas faixas e ao mesmo tempo, de uma maneira muito louca, com uma voz rouca em outras. Apreciado por colecionadores do g�nero, "Unchained" � um disco viajante composto por constante mudan�as de ritmos. "We Can Fly" � uma faixa de Progressivo pesado, com um pouco de Blues, vocal diab�lico e um baixo grave e pesado lembrando as pegadas soturnas de Geezer Butler do grande BLACK SABBATH. Guitarras delicadas e fortes ao mesmo tempo e um longo (cerca de 1 minuto) solo de bateria na ...

Edwards Hand Rainshine 1971 uk marvelous smart soft rock 2015 issue

Edwards Hand Rainshine 1971 uk marvelous smart soft rock 2015 issue Rainshine was recorded in April 1971 at AIR Studios under the aegis of George Martin. His vocal and orchestral arrangements were, of course, peerless, the rhythm section of Les Brown and Harry Reynolds knitted together seamlessly, while David Dowds guitar work provided the sympathetic, laid-back feel that was required.  Apart from the odd overdubbed line from the new Moog synthesizer, everything was performed live with an absolute minimum of overdubs, with Rod on piano and Roger on acoustic guitar. The duos harmonies were sumptuous, while the addition of Harry Reynolds, Aliki Ashman and Charlene to the vocal mix brought something new to the table.  Most importantly of all, however, the new songs were superb. The likes of �Going Down, Race Against The Sun and Beam Me Aboard were mellow, radio-friendly soft rock creations, New York City Rain extended the earlier Simon & Garfunkel comparisons but added an und...

Essra Mohawk Essra 1976 us beautiful silk art groovy rock 2003 japan release

Essra Mohawk Essra 1976 us beautiful silk art groovy rock 2003 japan release Listening to my early albums, there seems to be a progression from ballads to uptempos that took place over the years. My first album is all ballads, my second album, Primordial Lovers, has a few rnidtempos and uptempos, and my third album is half ballads and half uptempos. This album, my fourth, is very different from the ones before it in that there are only two ballads: �Summersong� and �Hello Winter�. I seem to have switched  gears from ballads to uptempos as though I were gaining some kind of momentum. On the original vinyl release, "Summersong" appeared on one side of the record and "Hello Winter" was on the other side, just like winter and summer are opposite seasons. "People Will Talk" appears twice (two different versions), the serious version began side one and the album ended with the sitly version. One day in the studio while recording my vocals, I spontaneously began ...

Elephants Memory Songs From Midnight Cowboy 1969 uk fantastic psych rock with jazz and folk shades 2006 remaster

Elephants Memory Songs From Midnight Cowboy 1969 uk fantastic psych rock with jazz and folk shades 2006 remaster After original vocalist Carly Simon left Elephants Memory for her own fame and fortune, the band recorded their self-titled Buddah debut, Elephants Memory, with Michal Shapiro handling the female lead. That disc is not their John Lennon/Yoko Ono/David Peel Apple Records debut from 1972, which was also named after this ensemble. When two Elephants Memory songs from the 1969 Buddah Records album appeared in the Capitol Records soundtrack to the film Midnight Cowboy, Buddah vice president Neil Bogart revamped and re-released the original LP, most likely and understandably, to cash in on the attention the band was getting from the hit film. "Old Man Willow" and "Jungle Gym at the Zoo" from the first LP appeared in Midnight Cowboy, and they show up again on side one of this disc along with a different spin on the Nilsson hit "Everybodys Talkin."
