AIR SUPPLY "the ultimate collection" cd, 2012
career stats:
studio albums..............17
singles........................27
this album.................#38 AU...#38 NZ
Australian sot rock duo....
pretty big in the 1970s and early 1980s....
their staple was mainly love songs/ballads....
last big hit was surprisingly written by Jim Steinman (making love out of nothing at all)
around 1983-ish....
at one point they had seven consecutive top five hits on the US charts, a record at that time...
I don't own any other singles or albums by this group/duo, nor do I want to, this one is all I need IMO...
they still tour and in the last couple of years toured Australia, I believe they still do the Vegas casino strip
circuit thing....
I LIKE THIS ALBUM
worst track: now or forever
best track: all out of love

^^ Amazed to see this collection does not feature "Do What you Do", their best song by far IMO.

jazz/rap/hip-hop is what I call this
letting the jazz sound win on placement
that's what makes a lot of this work for me
2nd album of 9 here and the last one to hit the chart
still around I guess with an album in 2013
this is the only one I've heard
fav
love them horns on the chorus

a little confused on that title
as I would think all of her sides were jazz sides
this is from a Verve series of compilations of jazz artists
can't say I'm a big fan but I do appreciate her contribution to the music era
50 albums over a 40 year span
she must have done something right

I like Sarah Vaughan in fact I had an album of hers, but I lost it when I moved for College along with a Billie Holiday collection edition album I got for Christmas from my sister. :Sadface: I need to buy those albums again.

DAN FOGELBERG "Nether Lands" cd, 1977
career stats:
studio albums.......16
singles.................19
this album......#13 US...#51 CAN
singles:
"love gone by"..............#84CAN
fourth album from Dan....
some folky stuff on here, some acoustic others with strings...
although the string ones don't sound like it, i'd say Neil's "a man needs a maid"
is the sort of sound these have...
a couple of 'soft rock' tracks also....
not as good as "captured angel" and "home free" but still a reasonably good effort...
I LIKE THIS ALBUM
worst track: Nether Lands
best track: once upon a time
[video=youtube;4kw0H60bUOA]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kw0H60bUOA[/video]
tracks:
1...Nether Lands *
2...once upon a time ***
3...dancing shoes **
4...lessons learned **
5...loose ends ***
6...love gone by **
7...promises made **
8...give me some time **
9...scarecrows dream **
10.sketches **
11.false faces **
