ONCE UPON A TIME...One Of The Boys

Слика
  ROGER DALTREY  One Of The Boys  (Polydor,1977) - Rock       Beyond a few good songs,  One of the Boys  does keep interesting company, including John Entwistle,  Eric Clapton  and a previously unreleased song from Paul McCartney ,  Giddy , that has its origins in “Rode All Night” from the Ram  sessions. The latter song is one of the few cases where Daltrey’s vocals fall short of the original (McCartney didn’t get enough credit for his vocals, in my opinion). You could probably live a full and rewarding life without owning any of Roger Daltrey’s records, unless you’re a hardcore Who fan, in which case you’re likely to own at least one of these albums, with  One of the Boys  as good a choice as any. TRACKLIST : Parade                        Single Man's Dilemma                        Avenging Annie                        The Prisoner                        Leon                        One Of The Boys                        Giddy                        Written On The Wind

ONCE UPON A TIME...Short Stories

Слика
  STEVE GIBBONS  Short Stories  (Wizard,1971) - Rock       A real classic rock gem from Birmingham's elder statesman of rock. Recorded in 1969 with a stellar musical cast: Countryrock pickers deluxe Albert Lee & Gerry Donahue on the Telecaster, old Move/Balls colleague Trevor Burton on bass, half of Spooky Tooth (Gary Wright, Greg Ridley & Mike Kellie), Gerry Conway on steel guitar, Doris Troy and Madeleine Bell on backup vocals and produced by Jimmy Miller who stood for the best records of Traffic and the Rolling Stones. The tracks are an oustanding mix of uptempo (country-) rockers, ballads and swiniging brass rock (with an uncredited Chris Barber on trombone). A real fascinating template for the music to come from the Steve Gibbons Band from the mid 1970s on, that toured the world with the likes of The Who, AC/DC or Lynyrd Skynyrd. TRACKLIST : Leader Of The Band                        Now You're Leaving                        The Last Farewell

ONCE UPON A TIME...I'll Be There

Слика
  MATTHEW FISHER  I'll Be There  (RCA,1974) - Rock       I'll Be There was Matthew Fisher's second solo album, but he didn't seem to have much to say. While pleasant enough, I'll Be There showed that the buying public wasn't. TRACKLIST : It's Not Too Late                        Not Her Fault                        Song Without Words                        Taking The Easy Way Out                        She Knows Me                        It's So Easy                        Do You Still Think About Me                        Cold Harbour Lane                        I'll Be There https://www.sendspace.com/file/kgaljf

VOICES IN THE SKY...Barbara Mason

Слика
        As an 18-year-old in 1965, Barbara Mason captured the innocent stirrings of adolescence on the self-penned  Yes I’m Ready , a US #3 R&B hit which is widely acknowledged as the beginning of the Philadelphia sound, with its use of sweet, sweeping strings and the musicians who would go on to form the nucleus of the Philadelphia International label’s house band, MFSB.       Mason, who wasn’t raised in the church but honed her craft in local talent shows and sang along to  Etta James , Gloria Lynne and  Aretha  records on the radio, took to the road with  Curtis Mayfield ‘s The Impressions in 1966 after a string of R&B hits like  Sad Sad Girl  and  I Need Love , which built on the same formula as  Yes I’m Ready .       By the turn of the decade, she had graduated from teen crush to tempestuous lover, documenting bedroom dramas in forthright fashion.       In 1972 she worked with Mayfield on a version of his  Give Me Your Love  for an album of the same name, and in 1975 score

ONCE UPON A TIME...Vixen

Слика
  VIXEN  Vixen  (EMI Manhattan,1988) - Hard rock       The  Vixen  album has a great, but easy, sound. It’s easy to sing to and all of the songs are catchy. Janet Gardner has a great voice and Jan Kuehnemund impresses on her guitar. Remembering the 80s, Jan Kuehnemund, Lita Ford, and Nancy Wilson (Heart) were three of the best female guitar players in all of Hard Rock/Metal. TRACKLIST : Edge Of A Broken Heart                        I Want You To Rock Me                        Cryin'                        American Dream                        Desperate                        One Night Alone                        Hell Raisers                        Love Made Me                        Waiting                        Cruisin'                        Give It Away https://www.sendspace.com/file/120q0o

ONCE UPON A TIME...All Is Forgiven

Слика
  SIREN  All Is Forgiven  (Mercury,1989) - Rock       While the ELP-esque cover artwork might suggest a progressive rock album, Siren's sound definitely falls into the mainstream pop/rock style of the late 80's. I hear a lot of similarities to artists like Private Life, Robin Beck, and 80's era Heart, and singer Kristin Massey's vocals sound like a cross between Stevie Nicks and Belinda Carlisle. TRACKLIST : All Is Forgiven                           One Good Lover                           Don't Let Go                           Master Of The Land                           Stand Up                           Good Kid                           How Dare A Woman                           Rock-A-Bye                           Love Shut Down                           So Far Away https://www.sendspace.com/file/k59r5b

ONCE UPON A TIME...Marilyn Martin

Слика
  MARILYN MARTIN  Marilyn Martin  (Atlantic,1986) - Pop rock       In late 1985, there was good reason to believe that Marilyn Martin would become a pop/rock superstar. Her duet with  Phil Collins , "Separate Lives," soared to number one on the pop charts, and her supporters assumed that she was going to become as big as  Stevie Nicks ,  Laura Branigan  or  Pat Benatar . But regrettably, Martin's commercial success turned out to be short-lived -- after 1988's  T his Is Serious , she was dropped by Atlantic and never recorded another album. Nonetheless, the Southern vocalist had a lot of potential, and she showed considerable promise on this self-titled debut album of 1986.  TRACKLIST : Night Moves                        Body And The Beat                        Too Much Too Soon                        Turn It On                        The Dream Is Always The Same                        One Step Closer                        Beauty Of The Beast                        Mo
