ONCE UPON A TIME...Caravan To Midnight

 

ROBIN TROWER  Caravan To Midnight  (Chrysalis,1978) - Blues rock


     My Love opens up the record and is a typical Trower song with a killer vocal from James Dewar. Second track in is the title track and is an instrumental. The slow funky soulful groove is just a joy, and Trower’s playing is just sublime. I’m Out To Get You follows and why this was not released as a single just blows my mind. Such a cool funky song with a killer melody and vocal from Dewar, and again, Trower’s playing is off the charts for me. This is one of may favourite Trower tracks from all of his catalogue. Lost In Love closes out Side 1 and it’s a really chill song with a slow funky blues groove.
     Side 2 is up and running with Fool, and in a similar vein to how Side 1 started. One of the most heartfelt beautiful love songs Trower released is up next with Its For You. Dewar’s vocals and Trower’s guitar compliment each other so well on this song. Birthday Boy is another slow moving piece with lots of emotion and feel. King Of The Dance is probably the most up-tempo track on the record, and has that killer soulful funky rock groove. The album closes out with Sail On, and it sums this album up perfectly .

GUITAR WOLF...Joe Perry

Слика
        It’s hard to conceive a better musical foil for Steven Tyler than his longtime partner and occasional adversary. For more than 40 years, Joe Perry’s monstrous, blues-on-steroids riffs have been  Aerosmith ‘s bedrock. And his solos, jutting out from “Walk This Way” or slashing boldly through the high-gloss production of later hits like “Janie’s Got a Gun” and “Cryin’,” have a caffeinated energy that’s every bit Tyler’s match.

LITTLE DRUMMER BOY...Matt Cameron

Слика
        More than any other drummer, Matt Cameron laid the rhythmic foundation for the Nineties rock revolution, reconciling proggy technicality with overwhelming force. He aptly characterized his rotary-blade rhythms on the 1991 Soundgarden track "Jesus Christ Pose" as "a pure assault of the senses," but that efficient brutality wasn't necessarily characteristic of Cameron's work with the band – his drumming on  Superunknown  is as thoughtful as it is heavy, from the fluid asymmetry of "Spoonman" to the unshakeable backbeat of "Fell on Black Days." Twenty years after its release, Dave Grohl was  still raving , "Nobody played drums like Matt." When Soundgarden suddenly disbanded in 1997, Cameron wasn't out of work for long: Pearl Jam invited him on tour the following year.  SOUNDGARDEN  Badmotorfinger A&M,1991 https://www.sendspace.com/file/uaniyr

ONCE UPON A TIME.....Gravy Train

Слика
  GRAVY TRAIN  Gravy Train  (Vertigo,1970) - Progressive rock       Their debut shows Gravy Train as a brave and daring underground band, heavily influenced by and derivative of other prog/hard acts of the time, yet actually trying to push the boundaries forward. Unfortunately, since the album bombed, the guys preferred to dump all the experimentation of these songs in favour of a smoother, more commercial sound later on, which totally destroyed their idiosyncrasy and forever nailed them as second-rate good-for-nothings.
