  BLUE ASH  No More, No Less  (Mercury,1973) - Rock, Power pop       Peers of Big Star and the Raspberries, Ohio's Blue Ash rejected the then-prevalent prog rock, heavy metal and singer-songwriter navel-gazing in favour of succinct mid-60s influenced, harmony-drenched three-minute nuggets. No More, No Less is a classic of what would later be termed powerpop.

          Wayne Fontana was born Glynn Ellis in Manchester, England, on 28 October 1945. He started his musical career at school with a skiffle group called The Velfins and later formed a Rock & Roll outfit called The Jets, with whom he worked the pubs and clubs of Greater Manchester.       In 1963 the group was spotted playing in Manchester’s Oasis Club and asked to undertake an audition for Philips/Fontana Records at the same venue on the following evening in front of a live audience.       Their debut Fontana single – released a few months later – was a cover version of Bo Diddley ‘s Roadrunner , which enjoyed moderate success.       A year and two more singles later, though, they finally hit the chart jackpot with a cover of Major Lance’s American hit Um Um Um Um Um Um which reached #2 in Britain, and in 1965 their single Game Of Love topped the British and American charts.       During the sa...

       O n the one hand, it's noble of Scott Gorham to rename his Lynott-less version of Thin Lizzy for the purposes of a recording career. On the other, given that the music they make would fit snugly on to a late-70s Lizzy album – right down to singer Ricky Warwick's inflections and asides – it seems a little self-defeating. The stand-out is the most Lizzyesque song, Bound for Glory , with one of those twin lead guitar lines kicking into a riff filled with empty space: it's like 1976 all over again. Conversely, the worst song is where they take things too far and step outside Lizzydom: Kingdom of the Los t revs up the Celtic folk influence nicely, then charges into a boozealong chorus more suited to one of those aggressively Irish punk bands from the US. Between those two poles falls plenty of enjoyable melodic hard rock, never poor, though not always scaling the heights. But then Thin Lizzy were never the most consistent of studio bands, so maybe that's fitting. ...
