What Are You Listening To? - Jerome - 30-08-2015
Yes - Fly From Here - critics hated it - I think it's one of their best albums.
What Are You Listening To? - CRAZY-HORSE - 01-09-2015
RIGHTEOUS BROTHERS "50 reasons to love...."
sorry, no image of the cover art seems to be available!
three cd set covering fifty tracks by Bill and Bob....
this is the first disc which contains seventeen tracks...
mainly their early ones on this...
most of the tracks have a soul/r+b feel happening ala the hard edged sounds of Wilson Pickett/Otis....
I never realised these guys were so good until I bought this 3cd set, but theres more to them than Unchained Melody and
You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin' IMO.....
I had to check every now and then to make sure I had the right disc in because it was so easy to forget these were white dudes
and not black soul guys....
first disc is an awesome affair of classy material from the finest white-boy-blue eyed soul you will ever hear...
a couple of bits of trivia now....
1) Cher sang backing vocals on most of their songs
2) Unchained Melody was offered to Bing Crosby but he turned it down.
I LOVE THIS DISC
worst track: bring your love to me
best track: unchained melody
[video=youtube;zrK5u5W8afc]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrK5u5W8afc[/video]

What Are You Listening To? - Jerome - 01-09-2015
I must be feeling homesick - Ismael Lo - Jammu Afrika - I cannot understand a word of what he is saying/singing but this is one of those albums where I like every single track. And there aren't many of them. Amazing piece of work and vaguely reminds me of my time in Central Africa. A short-lived period but an eye opener for me. A different place - both beautiful and tragic at the same time. Would love to go back to the Botanical Garden in Limbe one more time.

had to go to Amazon for the image
terrible packaging for this one
no liner notes, no nothing
here's some of his music
you're on your own
didn't know the guy had 29 studio albums or 38 singles, from the 60's thru the 2000's
this is my fav and his only #1 here, from 1966

What Are You Listening To? - Jerome - 02-09-2015
Going to bore everyone to tears here but I am back to my old favourite - Floyd's 'Wish You Were Here' - an amazing piece of work from start to finish. An album I never tire of and have yet to find an equal to. It stands alone in the realm of rock music. Even my cat, Smokey, is mesmerised by this music. Parks herself between the two speakers and much like her owner, just spaces out. Wonderful music.

ELTON JOHN "madman across the water" cd, 1971
career stats:
studio albums.................31
singles..........................128
this album...........................#41 UK...#8 AU...#8 US...#13 CAN
singles:
"levon"...........................................#94 AU..#24 US....#6 CAN
"tiny dancer"...................................#13 AU..#41 US..#19 CAN
Sir Reggie's sixth studio album....
and like all the others from this period the songs were written with Bernie Taupin....
this album I have is the remastered reissue and the linear notes say this is the only album from his early years
that doesn't contain bonus tracks, simply because he what he recorded at the time for the album went on the album....
songs are typical of that period by his standards...lovely piano based melodic tracks with good lyrics overall(its the Taupin factor I guess)....
im just surprised that the singles that made the charts elsewhere simply didn't chart in the UK, and the album fared badly there also by his standards...
overall, a very good album but let down by a couple of tracks I just don't like....
I LIKE THIS ALBUM
worst track: indian sunset
best track: tiny dancer
[video=youtube;hoskDZRLOCs]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hoskDZRLOCs[/video]
tracks:
1...tiny dancer ***
2...levon ***
3...razor face *
4...madman across the water ***
5...indian sunset *
6...holiday inn ***
7...rotten peaches **
8...all the nasties **
9...goodbye **

RIGHTEOUS BROTHERS "50 reasons to love...."
sorry, no image of the cover art seems to be available!
three cd set covering fifty tracks by Bill and Bob....
this is the third disc....
it contains sixteen tracks.....
mainly ballads and smooth r+b on this one...
the first eight track are Righteous Brothers tracks,
tracks nine to twelve are Bobby Hatfield solo tracks and...
tracks thirteen to sixteen are Bill Medley solo tracks....
I actually wasn't aware until the other day that Cher sang backing vocals on
about ninety percent of their songs during their career(even when she was successful
in her own right!)
its another superb disc of material by these guys and all up
a fantastic addition to any music lover's collection/library of music..
I LOVE THIS DISC
worst track: stand by
best track: gotta tell you how I feel
[video=youtube;27ALVjlOXHw]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27ALVjlOXHw&list=PL11D95BEA48FD50B2[/video]

the only Stones cd I have
love the first of this 2 cd set but only a few tracks on the second
it's pretty clear why, as the first one is all 60's material
the other is from then on
I went off of them in the early 80's
probably Emotional Rescue is the last one I really like
as punishment for not putting the best Rolling Stones song ever on this cd
I am posting it here instead of a track from this set
that'll teach em

Sounds like you couldn't get no satisfaction from disc #2??
