GUITAR WOLF.....Nuno Bettencourt

 


     While others imitated Eddie Van Halen, Nuno took his ideas to new places. His devastating syncopation gave Extreme funk where their peers had none.

ONCE UPON A TIME.....World's End

Слика
  ANDWELLA  World's End  (Reflection,1970) - Psychedelic rock       Following the break-up of Belfast psych-blues trio The Method, teenage singer-songwriter David Lewis moved to London, formed Andwellas Dream and signed to CBS. Though their roots show with a fondness for Cream-like workouts, debut album Love And Poetry (1969) shows an emerging pastoral, psych-pop side, with standouts The Days Grew Longer For Love and Midday Sun.       After a move to Reflection Records, World’s End followed in 1970. It sounds like a lot of living was done in the interim – the grooves are deeper, the guitars stingier, the writing more worldly. The McCartney-ish ballad Lady Love and the blissful I’m Just Happy To See You Get Her show a burgeoning talent.

ONCE UPON A TIME.....Fortune

  FORTUNE  Fortune  (WB,1978) - AOR       This was the first incarnation of the band, which would end of morphing into a melodic rock AOR outfit in the early 1980’s and releasing another self-titled album in 1985 full of AOR hits. This release isn’t bad and has some decent period rock with a soulful vibe courtesy of a female lead vocalist. Side One is strong with 3 out of 4 chugging rockers. Side Two moves more into a softer pop rock style however still in a catchy mode, like the strong soulful vocals in “Heavy Love” and closer “Rainy Day Woman”. TRACKLIST : Saddle The Wind                     Squeeze Me, Tease Me                     Certain Kind Of Feeling                     Bein' Real With The Feelin'                     Forget About Tomorrow     ...

ONCE UPON A TIME.....Baby I'm-A Want You

  BREAD  Baby I'm-A Want You  (Elektra,1972) - Soft rock       When Bread's first album was released, the group was dismissed in many circles as a Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young carbon. Since then, Bread has become one of the most consistent hit making musical aggregations in the U.S. and as the LP shows, they sure have that hit formula down pat; catchy and somewhat melodic rockers that are all under 3 1/2 minutes in playing time, just perfect for all those AM program directors who have made Bread this generation's Lettermen. Like The Guess Who, Bread has bridged the gap between bubblegum and progressive, though many of their ballads, like "Baby I'm-A Want You" and "Everything I Own" lean more towards the saccharine.       There is no doubt as to Bread's musicianship, for all its members are accomplished and respected studio musicians. As a matter of fact, when Robb Royer left the group, he was replaced by the ubiquitous keyboard man Larry ...
