ONCE UPON A TIME.....Nervous On The Road

 

BRINSLEY SCHWARZ  Nervous On The Road  (UA,1972) - Pub rock

     A second release in 1972, and, despite the title, rather than alive album, this is all studio, with ten further songs from a band seemingly in peak condition. This time Lowe is back in the driving seat of composition, Gomm only getting one write, and Andrews only a Lowe co-write, with a couple of covers for good measure. However, although this record has amongst the best of their songs, some scrape the bottom of a barrel, howver vintage the content of the barrel. It’s Been So Long is barely more than pastiche, and Happy What We’re Doing is a lacklustre early foray into a bluebeat rhythm. After that false start, faces are saved with the monumental Surrender To The Rhythm, the epitome of Nashville/Memphis/Camden Town fusion that they had been forging. 

TRACKLIST : It's Been So Long
                      Happy Doing What We're Doing
                      Surrender To The Rhythm
                      Don't Lose Your Grip On Love
                      Nervous On The Road (But Can't Stay At Home)
                      Feel A Little Funky
                      I Like It Like That
                      Brand New You, Brand New Me
                      Home In My Hand
                      Why, Why, Why, Why, Why

ONCE UPON A TIME.....I'm Not Me

  MICK FLEETWOOD'S ZOO  I'm Not Me  (RCA,1983) - Rock        The story behind Mick Fleetwood’s 1983  I’m Not Me  is well known. It was his second “solo” album for RCA Records, but everyone, especially Fleetwood, knew it was a band effort. Fleetwood’s name was the draw, but The Zoo was a fully formed ensemble that had been playing together for a year. This occurred because Fleetwood wanted a real group and not an album put out by studio musicians who’d come by, do their parts, and ride off to other projects.        The principal members of the Zoo were Fleetwood on drums, guitarist/singers Billy Burnette and Steve Ross, and bassist/singer George Hawkins. (Hawkins had appeared on Fleetwood’s previous release,  The Visitor ). As Burnette, Hawkins, and Ross shared lead vocal duties and co-wrote many of the songs, the band’s structure was easily compared to that of Fleetwood Mac. In addition, the album was produced by Rich...

ONCE UPON A TIME.....Batteaux

  BATTEAUX  Batteaux  (Columbia,1973) - Folk,Rock,Funk         Batteaux  is a long treasured and notoriously under appreciated 70’s underground folk-funk classic. The only release by the Batteau brother duo is a perfect mix of balearic blue eyed soul and west coast country rock. Admirers old and new have been constantly pondering, why wasn’t this better known? The record had all the ingredients for commercial success. It was released on Columbia in ’73, features virtuoso guest players including Tom Scott, John Guerin, and Andy Newmark, as well as incredible songwriting and musicianship from the Batteau brothers themselves.
