HARRY CHAPIN - ORIGINAL ALBUM SERIES


New York singer-songwriter Harry Chapin earned a reputation as a tireless performer and a remarkably generous man who toured the country constantly, and gave an unheard-of percentage of his performance earnings to charity. Chapin's most memorable tunes, including million-sellers like "Taxi" and "Cats in the Cradle", were story songs delivered in a soulful rasp, in which he sang of missed opportunities and dreams that don't come true. Although critics found his music pretentious or sentimental, Chapin was a huge success in the '70s. When he lost his life in a 1981 traffic accident, the outpouring of emotion from around the world testified to just how much the man and his music were revered. Chapin was also a dedicated humanitarian who fought to end world hunger; he was a key player in the creation of the Presidential Commission on World Hunger in 1977. In 1987, Chapin was posthumously awarded the Congressional Gold Medal for his humanitarian work.

WISHBONE ASH - SOMETIME WORLD: AN MCA TRAVELOGUE (2010)





The first extensive Wishbone Ash compilation since 1993's two-CD set Time Was, the 2010 double-disc collection Sometime World: An MCA Travelogue covers the same territory as its predecessor but in a different fashion. It runs three tracks longer than Time Was' 23 songs but only nine of those cuts are shared, most of those from the band's earliest days where the common classics are generally acknowledged. Sometime World winds up departing from the path during the back half of their catalog, which provides the source for the second disc. The first five albums - 1970's Wishbone Ash through 1973's Live Dates - are compiled on the first disc, leaving the rest - 1974's There's the Rub through 1981's Number the Brave - for the second disc. This selection tips the scales slightly toward Wishbone Ash's heavier jams, with the first portion of the compilation taking its time - "Errors of My Way" nearly clocks in at seven minutes, "Phoenix" runs over ten - with things starting to lighten on the second disc. This sequencing certainly reflects the band's progression but it won't win over many skeptics - from the first track they're pushed right into the deep end - but for those with a sense of what Wishbone Ash was all about, this tells the story of their prime in leisurely, thorough detail. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

2010 two disc collection from British rock band featuring material from their MCA label years. Includes sleeve-notes written by Classic Rock News Editor, Dave Ling. Compiled and produced with full endorsement and assistance from founders Andy Powell and Martin Turner. 25 tracks. - cduniverse.com

WISHBONE ASH - ARGUS - 1972




http://www.fileserve.com/file/5K7kdrn

WISHBONE ASH - Elegant Stealth



"Elegant Stealth" represents a benchmark in the evolution of Wishbone Ash, one of the most influential guitar bands in the history of rock. Signature twin-lead melodies and a powerhouse rhythm section frame 11 new tracks that reflect a diverse realm of styles and moods. Formed in 1969, Wishbone Ash has more than 20 original studio recordings and several live albums to their credit. On "Elegant Stealth", the group coalesces around strong songwriting and serious chops. Founding member Andy Powell handles lead vocals and trades licks with Finland’s guitar wizard Muddy Manninen. Bassist Bob Skeat, a 14-year veteran of the band and in-demand studio musician, sets the pace with Joe Crabtree, one of the best of Britain’s new breed of drummers, having played with Pendragon and David Cross of King Crimson. The band demonstrates its versatility on "Elegant Stealth", from the pop/rocker “Reason to Believe” to the gentler vibe of “Give it Up” to tunes like “Warm Tears” and “Big Issues,” where the band gets to stretch out and flex its musical muscles. Guest artists appearing on the new CD include Deep Purple’s Don Airey, who played Hammond B3 organ on the instrumental “Mud-slick,” and Ireland’s Pat McManus played fiddle on “Can’t Go It Alone,” which he penned specially for Wishbone Ash.

Paul Barrere (vocals, acoustic & electric guitars, dobro);
Sam Clayton (vocals, percussion);
Fred Tackett (vocals, electric guitar, dobro, mandolin, mandocello, trumpet);
Bill Payne (vocals, keyboards);
Richie Hayward (vocals, drums);
Shaun Murphy (vocals, percussion);
Ken Gradney (bass).

Additional personnel:
Larry Campbell (violin);
Nacho Hernandez (accordion);
Jesus "Chuy" Guzman (trumpet, mellophone);
Piero Mariani (percussion).

Producers: Paul Barrere, Bill Payne, Fred Tackett.

The longtime drum and percussion team of Richie Hayward and Sam Clayton lay down a rock-solid foundation.
The band hasn't lost its sense of humor either...

After 30 years of playing somevery ecclectic rock n roll, Little Feat continues to put out quality material.
On Kickin' It On The Barn, the band puts out some varied material that is pure rock n roll with some
pleasing country, jazz, and world touches.
I find the touches of the accordion, mandolin, and percussion very appropriate on Corazones y Sombras.
The spanish flavoring is oh so pleasing. Night On The Town and the instruemtnal Stomp feature some
Grade A jams with Bill Payne's keyboard touches standing out. Heaven Foresaken is another great
focused tune with strong guitar passages. However, my favorite tune is the Freddie Tacket sung
In A Town Like This. The drumming is just mesmerizing and the guitar solos superb.
My only beef is that there is hardly any contributions from Shaun Murphy. Her one tune, I'd Be Lying
is a good one. However, I feel the band is not utilizing their best vocalist enough.

Nonetheless, this is a solid recording from a legendary band.

BLACK ROSE [with LES DUDEK & CHER]




Black Rose - Black Rose (1980)


Black Rose was a band which featured Cher on vocals and her then boyfriend Les Dudek on guitar and vocals. Their only release was this 1980 album for Casablanca Records. If you read about this album and were expecting an album similar to "Allman & Woman - Two The Hard Way", then you're in for a surprise. Not sure it'll be a pleasant one, though. This album has none of the flash of the Les Dudek albums. Instead it's a Power Pop exercise on which Cher gets to rock out some. It's not bad, just not terribly good either. I prefer the soulful sounds of her album with Gregg anytime. But since I'm a sucker for Les Dudek, I just had to complete my collection. So, are there any good Les Dudek songs on here? Hmm, sort of. Actually, he only gets to sing lead vocals on one track, a duet called "You Know It". I like that song, and it would fit nicely as a bonus track on his "Gypsy Ride" album. So, for that you should get this. Tricky move to start an album with a song entitled "Never Should've Started". For completists only..
