Humble Pie - The Atlanta Years

Humble Pie - The Atlanta Years - 2006

 
review from classicrockmusicblog

Humble Pie’s The Atlanta Years could just as well be called Steve Marriott, The Atlanta Years, as he is the driving force behind these recordings. The singer/songwriter/guitarist had relocated to the Peach State in the 1980s and re-formed Humble Pie once again after the lineup (Marriott, guitarist Bobby Tench, bassist Anthony Jones and drummer Jerry Shirley) from an earlier re-formed Pie called it quits in 1981.

That said, The Atlanta Years is worth investigating. Nine studio cuts are appended with seven live performances from Marriott’s Atlanta days. The studio sides find Marriott still capable of delivering the bluesy rock that he built his name on. His voice is still full of raspy splendor on  “Heartbreaker,” a funky organ-driven R&B shuffle, and laced with whiskey on “Ain’t You Glad (New York Can’t Talk).” The Cockney swagger of “Poor Man’s Rich Man” is classic Marriott, and a bridge between his time with the Small Faces and Humble Pie. The songs have a work-in-progress feel, but are still developed enough to stand on their own. The live cuts are sweaty slices of Marriott in his element. Listen as he takes the crowd through the 15-minute assault of “I Don’t Need No Doctor” or the cranky “Hallelujah I Love Her So,” full of tight guitar licks and double entendres.

Though Marriott lived the rock star life, he was virtually destitute for years. A very personal interview with ex-wife Pam Stephens reveals the couple’s daily struggles of just having enough to eat, all the while being holed up in a Southern mansion. Marriott was a challenging but engaging personality, enough so to keep fans and hangers-on coming back for more until the larger-than-life musician’s life was cut down by a house fire in 1991. Just as talk of a reunion with original Humble Pie mate Peter Frampton was surfacing, Marriott was taken away. In Atlanta, Marriott sang “Trouble You Can’t Fool Me,” and he was singing from experience.

Robby Krieger - Robby Krieger

Robby Krieger - Robby Krieger - 1985

by William Ruhlmann from AMG

For his self-titled 1985 album, former Doors guitarist Robby (or Robbie) Krieger posed on the front cover in the company of three fellow musicians and even printed their names there, such that you might say the title was "Robby Krieger with Arthur Barrow, Bruce Gary, and Don Preston." Two of  those musicians, former Mothers of Invention keyboard player Preston and bass player Barrow, also figured in the songwriting credits, adding to the sense  that, whatever name was out front, this album was a band effort. And so it came across, each musician getting solos in the often complex jazz-rock fusion arrangements.

Krieger may have been the first among equals, but these original tunes were given band arrangements in which everyone got his say. Running close to 15 minutes, the closing track, Barrow and Krieger's "Noisuf," was the most outside in jazz terms, essentially serving as a showcase for the explorations of the various musicians, which even included Krieger's quote from "My Sharona." But that only made it the most extended of the spacy instrumentals that made up the record. Krieger's fans from the Doors might have been less comfortable with the results than Preston's from the Mothers, but the album was a typical fusion effort.

Archie Brown And The Bucks -  Bring Me the Head of Jerry Garcia - 1987

BIO from band's official site

The band is formed in Newcastle by Pat Rafferty and Tony Wadsworth. First gig is the University Fine Art Dept Xmas Party. Still without a name, inspiration comes from Bogart's “Key Largo” - “I’m looking for a couple of young bucks in fancy shirts who busted out of prison”.

Band is instantly popular. John Glynn moves to London and joins proto punks ‘X Ray Spex’. His replacement is Archie Brown, sax player and songwriter with local band ‘Pylon’. Band starts playing Monday nights at the “Cooperage” which is sold out for the next two years. Summer ’77 Tim Wilder is replaced by Seb Shelton.

Noel Redding Band - Clonakilty Cowboys & Blowin'

Noel Redding Band - Clonakilty Cowboys & Blowin' - 1975 & 1976

By William Ruhlmann from allmusic.com

Clonakilty Cowboys

Former Jimi Hendrix Experience bassist Noel Redding's second attempt to lead a group (following Fat Mattress), the Noel Redding Band were more of a cooperative effort than their name would suggest. Redding may have been the organizing principal behind the unit, but David Clarke wrote or co-wrote almost all the material as well as singing lead vocals, while Eric Bell played lead guitar. Whoever dominated the band, however, their debut LP, Clonakilty Cowboys, was very much a British rock album of its time. There were hints here of the Faces and there of Mott the Hoople in a mainstream rock sound that seemed utterly familiar in the mid-'70s, but didn't much remind you of Redding's work with Hendrix. When Bell took off on his solo, for example, at the end of "Eight Nights a Week" (a paean to being a rock & roll star), his high-pitched work was out of Rock Guitar 101, but it had none of Hendrix's inventiveness. Maybe it's not fair to make such a comparison, but one falls into comparisons in discussing the music because it had little distinctive character of its own. As singers, neither Clarke nor Redding made it out of the rusty-voiced ranks of generic rock vocalists. Clonakilty Cowboys didn't make any noise on the charts and it didn't deserve to. Redding and company had made a fairly typical album for their time, but hadn't done anything that distinguished them from the pack.

Blowin´

Noel Redding emphasized his primacy in the band named after him on their second album, Blowin', putting close-up photographs of himself alone on the front and back covers, albeit with humorous intention. (He was pictured on the front blowing up a big bubblegum bubble and on the back with the burst bubble stuck to his nose.) He also took over production duties on the record and wrote a couple of songs on his own. But this was still a group effort on which lead singer and primary songwriter David Clarke took a prominent, if not dominant, role. The album rocked harder than its predecessor, Clonakilty Cowboys, and, recorded largely in the U.S., seemed to have more of an American, on-the-road feel, beginning with its opening track, "Back on the Road Again." But the Noel Redding Band were still a faceless, nearly generic rock group with a rusty-voiced singer mouthing rock & roll clichés and a standard-issue guitarist. Blowin' didn't sell any better than Clonakilty Cowboys had, and that was about the end of the Noel Redding Band.

Buddy Miles - Bicentennial Gathering of the Tribes

Buddy Miles - Bicentennial Gathering of the Tribes - 1976

Buddy Miles lançou pelo selo casablanca (aquele dos discos do KISS) dois álbuns: More Miles Per Gallon, de 1975, que já foi postado AQUI e este, de 1976. Bicentennial Gathering Of The Tribes é praticamente o oposto do primeiro. Sumiram os  sintetizadores (embora ainda se ouça um  ou outro traço desse instrumento (?) horrivel) e sumiram as letras sem sentindo. A impressão que se tem é que nem mesmo Buddy ficou satisfeito com o resultado de "More Miles" e resolveu mudar tudo. Esse disco é obrigatório para os fans do Buddy Miles "hardcore". Um disco mais centrado em bateria-baixo-harmmond  do que em sintetizadores.

Lançado no ano em que o Estados Unidos comemoravam o bicentenário de sua independência, Buddy incluiu nos encartes (ah, que saudade dos encartes!) frase de JFK sobre os indios americanos "Quando negligenciamos o passado heróico do índio americano, enfraquecemos nosso próprio patrimônio". Para muitos, a capa faz também uma homenagem a Hendrix, que tinha antepassados indígenas.

O rip desse vinil foi originalmente postado pelo Fabiano em sua comunidade no orkut, a quem expresso aqui meus agradecimentos por compartilhar esse joia rara. Acontece que o Fabiano fez o upload pelo sharebee a mais de ano e os links estavam inacessíveis. Desconhecendo o significado da palavra BACKUP, eis que o Fabiano formata seu PC e ele próprio acabou ficando sem sua cópia. Entra em cena o Celso, que além de extremo conhecedor de como burlar sites de downloads pagos (não é, Duga?) e torrents privados, especializou-se agora em saber aonde os links são distribuídos. Então, a partir do sharebee ficamos sabendo os links criados no zshare, badongo e megaupload. Um golpe de sorte fez com que o link no megaupload ainda estivesse ativo, embora apenas 9 felizardos tivessem feito o download nesse período de - repito - mais de 1 ano. Valeu "profexô" Celso.
