Arlo Guthrie - Power Of Love (repost)

Arlo Guthrie - Power Of Love - 1981

Lançado em julho de 1981, Power Of Love  é o 12º álbum de sua carreira e  último gravado pelo selo   Warner. Alguns destaques desta gravação é o dueto com Phil Everly  na faixa-título e a música Oklahoma Nights, 

Enquanto eram realizadas as gravações, Rick Lee Jones "vagou" pelos estúdios e acabou por gravar  Jamaica Farewell  em dueto com Arlo. Slow Boat ainda é cantada em muitos dos concertos de Arlo. Ele diz que essa talvez seja a melhor canção que ele tenha composto.

01. Power Of Love
02. Oklahoma Nights
03. If I Could Only Touch Your Life
04. Waimanalo Blues
05. Living Like A Legend

The Aerovons - Resurrection (repost)

The Aerovons - Resurrection - 1969 (2003)
 
O Aerovons era mais uma de tantas bandas adolescentes formadas durante os anos 60. Quer dizer, quase mais uma. Em 1967, após uma fita demo ser ouvida por um representante da Capitol Records, receberam em 1968 ofertas da EMI e da DECCA e realizaram o grande sonho de toda uma geração. Viajaram até Londres com um convite para gravarem no estúdio Abbey Road. Abbey Road, a casa de seus grandes heróis. Em 1969, pouco antes da gravação de seu primeiro (e único) álbum, o guitarrista Bob Frank, membro de longa data do grupo, deixou a banda, sendo substituído por Phil Edholm. Mostrando diferenças enormes com os demais integrantes, ele saiu logo após o ínicio das gravações.

Uma vez que o álbum ficou pronto, a banda retornou a St. Louis, Missouri,  onde mais problemas de relacionamentos fizeram a EMI decidir-se por não lançar o álbum. Não obstante, a  gravadora convidou Tom Hartman para vir para a Inglaterra e tocar um projeto de gravação. Mas Hartman achou que mudar para a Inglaterra seria um passo muito grande na sua idade e a parceria com a EMI foi encerrada.

Este álbum somente foi liberado em CD em 2003 e mostra uma banda fortemente influenciada pelo quarteto inglês, emulando, em vários momentos, a harmonia vocal e instrumental característica. Ouçam "Ressurection" e entendam o que quero dizer.



Particulamente não gosto muito dessa estória de grandes bandas que a internet veio para rescussitar e coisa e tal. Mas essa banda me intrigou a ponto de me perguntar: E se esse disco fosse lançado à época? E se houvesse o segundo e/ou terceiro álbum?

Conheça melhor esse meu relato no site oficial da banda.

John Entwistle Band - Music From Van Pires (repost)

John Entwistle Band - Music From Van Pires - 2000

A intenção inicial deste álbum era o de ser a trilha sonora para a animação infantil Van Pires . No entanto, o mesmo era sempre adiado devido à rejeição - por parte do programa - ao conteúdo de suas letras. "Left for Dead", por exemplo, teve várias versões gravadas, cada uma com uma letra diferente. Quando o programa (uma animação infantil feita por computadores)  chegou ao fim,  o disco acabou sendo lançado sem uma ligação tão forte com o conceito original.

Um ponto intessante deste álbum é a participação de Keith Moon em "Bogey Man". Aparentemente esta faixa faria parte de "Who Are You" do The Who, mas fora rejeitada. A faixa inacabada de 1978 tinha vocal, baixo, metais e bateria gravados.  Coube a John Entwistle e banda adicionar guitarra, teclados e backing vocals para completá-la.

Esse disco não foi oficialmente lançado como sendo um "the best of" ou uma "anthology", apesar de muitas faixas aparecerem anteriomente nos discos solos de Entwistle. Em 2005, quando todas a discografia do baixista foi relançada, este mais uma vez recebeu tratamento diferenciado, ficando de fora.

Trapeze - The Final Swing (repost)

Trapeze - The Final Swing - 1974

from wikipedia....

Trapeze were an English rock band formed in March 1969, by vocalist John Jones and guitarist/keyboardist Terry Rowley (who named the band), with guitarist Mel Galley, singer/bassist Glenn Hughes, and drummer Dave Holland. The band had a fairly fluid line up, finally dissolving in 1994, and although they never found commercial success themselves, several members went on to join better known bands including Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Whitesnake, Judas Priest and Uriah Heep.

The core and more familiar line-up of the band was Glenn Hughes, Mel Galley and Dave Holland. After Glenn Hughes' departure in June 1973, Galley and Holland decided to try to keep the band together, which they did with constantly varying members until 1979 when Holland went on to join Judas Priest. At this point the band broke up. Holland tried to revive the band in 1990, after leaving Priest, but the band finally broke up in 1994. Their first three albums remain their best known and most commercially successful.

  
The Final Swing is a compilation album released in 1974. It features songs from the original line-up of  Galley,  Hughes and Holland.

The Coal Porters - EP Roulette (repost)

The Coal Porters - EP Roulette - 1998

After the dissolution of the Long Ryders, musician Sid Griffin (who doubles as a music journalist, having penned Gram Parsons: A Music Biography in 1985) formed the Coal Porters in Los Angeles alongside Long Ryders drummer Greg Sowders and English bassist Ian Thomson.

This six-song odds-and-ends EP from Sid Griffin's post-Long Ryders project turned out to be the Coal Porters' last studio release before they retooled themselves into an acoustic group, and it sends this edition of the band off into the sunset on a high note. The lead-off tune, "Everything," is a winning bit of country-pop with the sort of anthemic chorus Griffin was born to write, while the live at the BBC version of "Me, Here at Your Door" that closes out the disc beats the studio take on Los London hands down. In between, you get a tasty preview of Griffin's subsequent band, Western Electric ("Emily in Ginger"), a remastered (and audibly improved) cut from Los London ("Help Me"), a cool Creedence Clearwater Revival cover ("Who'll Stop the Rain," appropriately mournful), and a tribute to that other Cole Porter ("Don't Fence Me In"), which swings nicely. It's no masterpiece, but EP Roulette is a fine pocket-sized picture of what Sid Griffin does best, and captures the Coal Porters in much stronger form than on the disappointing Los London.

Pete Townshend - Magic Bus Live from Chicago (repost)

Pete Townshend - Magic Bus Live from Chicago - 2004

Essencialmente esse disco é uma reedição do "Merryville Academy", só que ao contrário do que possa sugerir, foi lançado  com apenas 8 das originais 11 músicas. De qualquer forma, Pete mescla clássicos do Who com canções de seus discos solos, em  novos arranjos. Lançado originalmente em 1998, foi gravado no "House of Blues" de Chicago e traz Eddie Veder em Magic Bus e Heart to Hang on Two, que por si já vale o download.

01. On the Road Again
02. Drowned
03. You Better You Bet
04. Now and Then
05. North Country Girl
06. Let My Love Open the Door
07. Magic Bus
08. Heart to Hang Onto
