What Are You Listening To? - Tiggi - 11-09-2010

[Image: 43610410;encoding=jpg;size=300;fallback=defaultImage]

Short-lived UK band with their debut from the late '80s.

Soulful Pop-Rock with a touch of Gospel about it. Rachel Morrison's voice bears comparison with Alison Moyet or Annie Lennox.

The band apparently had considerable success around the world except in the UK or US.

Good but nothing special.

What Are You Listening To? - CRAZY-HORSE - 11-09-2010

never heard of it tiggi but if she has a voice as good as you say i'll have to check it out, alison moyet and annie lennox have/had great voices, i liked helen terry as well, also liked a new zealand duo called 'vicki and linda' and an aussie chick called 'kate cebrano'.

did you, guys hear of 'bic runga' in the uk? her debut album 'drive' was great easy listening stuff, neil finn discovered her, saw her live as support act for mr.finn back in the 90s

Follow up to the live album that put the boys at the top of their game. Over produced at times imo, it would still be a worthy successor, and probably put them at the height of the career. A couple of great tracks. Have to go with the title track as my favorite, only because of the length of Gonna Raise Hell making it rather tedious. Still another great song. The album made it to #6 in the states, with the singles of Dream Police at #26 and Voices at #32.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Writing On The Wall

Best Track - Dream Police

The dream police, they live inside of my head.
The dream police, they come to me in my bed.
The dream police, they're coming to arrest me, oh no.

You know that talk is cheap, and those rumors ain't nice.
And when i fall asleep i don't think i'll survive the night, the night.

'cause they're waiting for me.
They're looking for me.
Ev'ry single night they're driving me insane.
Those men inside my brain.

The dream police, they live inside of my head.
(live inside of my head.)
The dream police, they come to me in my bed.
(come to me in my bed.)
The dream police, they're coming to arrest me, oh no.

Well, i can't tell lies, 'cause they're listening to me.
And when i fall asleep, bet they're spying on me tonight, tonight.

'cause they're waiting for me.
They're looking for me.
Ev'ry single night they're driving me insane.
Those men inside my brain.

I try to sleep, they're wide awake, they won't leave me alone.
They don't get paid to take vacations, or let me alone.
They spy on me, i try to hide, they won't let me alone.
They persecute me, they're the judge and jury all in one.

'cause they're waiting for me.
They're looking for me.
Ev'ry single night they're driving me insane.
Those men inside my brain.

The dream police, they live inside of my head.
The dream police, they come to me in my bed.
The dream police, they're coming to arrest me.

Not my cover or track listing but their are 16 of them, which is a healthy dose and covers all the hits. This cover is of the MCA reissue of the original Dunhill release. Although they weren't around that long, they certainly made an impact with their folk/rock California sound. With only 5 studio albums to their credit, they made them count, as the singles were consistent hits. Hard to pick a favorite from this set, with 8 tracks fitting the bill, but I ended up on Creeque Alley as it tells the story of the formation of the band. Didn't care much for the covers, but even those, you have to appreciate the harmonys. Many compilations have been released and this one was the first I think.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Twist and Shout

Best Track - Creeque Alley

John and Mitchie were gettin' kinda itchie
just to leave the folk music behind
Zal and Denny workin' for a penny
tryin' to get a fish on the line
In a coffee house Sebastian sat
and after every number they passed the hat
McGuinn and McGuire just are gettin' higher
in L.A. you know where that's at
And no one's getting fat except Mama Cass.

Zallie said 'Denny, you know there aren't many
who can sing a song the way that you do' (Let's go South)
Denny said 'Zallie, golly, don't you think that I wish
I could play guitar like you'
Zal, Denny and Sebastian sat (at the Night Owl)
And after every number they passed the hat
McGuinn and McGuire just are gettin' higher
in L.A. you know where that's at
And no one's getting fat except Mama Cass.

When Cass was a Sophomore, planned to go to Swarthmore,
But she changed her mind one day
Standign on the turnpike, thumb out to hitchhike,
Take her to New York right away
When Denny met Cass he gave her love bumps
Call John and Zal, and that was the Mugwumps
McGuinn and McGuire couldn't get no higher
but that's what they were aiming at
And no one's getting fat except Mama Cass.

Mugwumps, hi-jumps, low slumps, big bumps,
don't you work as hard as you play
Drink-up, break-up, everything is shake-up
Guess it had to be that way
Sebastian and Zal formed the Spoonful
Michelle, John and Denny gettin' very tuneful
McGuinn and McGuire just are catchin' fire
in L.A. you know where that's at
And everybody's gettin' fast except Mama Cass.

Broke, busted, disgusted, agents can't be trusted,
and Mitchie wants to go to the sea
Cass can't make it, she says we'll have to fake it
We knew she'd come eventually
Greasin' on American Express card
Tents, low rents, and keepin' out the heat's hard
Duffy's good vibrations, and our imaginations,
can't go on indefinitely
And California Dreaming is becoming a reality.

What Are You Listening To? - CRAZY-HORSE - 13-09-2010

thanks for the video of 'california dreamin', love this group, cheerful, happy songs. listening to these songs i sometimes wish i was born earlier than 1967, i think i could easily have been a hippie/folky type of person, i can only imagine what it was like back in the day.

'all you need is love,love,love'
