ONCE UPON A TIME.....Standing On The Edge

 

FRANKIE MILLER  Standing On The Edge  (Capitol,1982) - Rock


     Frankie Miller’s eighth solo album “Standing On The Edge” was his first away from the Chrysalis label and was also at that point his rockiest and most polished effort. The bar room backing or stripped back blues and soul of the earlier albums being replaced with a polished, sleek and far more rocky production. Musically and arrangement wise this was more akin to Bad Company, Foreigner or even Whitesnake than the old blues and soul feel of its predecessors. Thats to take nothing away from those albums by the way as each and every one of them was a classic in its own right.

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.....Now Do U Wanta Dance

  GRAHAM CENTRAL STATION Now Do U Wanta Dance  (WB,1977) - Funk,Soul       There is no doubt that this anything other than a strong, confident record from a band with enviable “chops” and a knack for crafting catchy floor-fillers. Starting up with the joyous acapella of “Happ-E-2-C-U-A-Ginn”, this and the later “Stomped, Beat-up and Whooped”, very like a piece of honey-dripping 50s Rock ‘n’ Roll, both turns expectations on their head.       More typically what you might expect to hear (but no less enjoyable) are tracks like the vocoder-crazed title song and the James Brown-inflected “Last Train”. These build up to the album centrepiece “Earthquake”, a real live monster slab of Funk shakedown, with explosions, Heavy Metal guitar histrionics and of course Graham’s mightily impressive flashy bass player high in the mix. It kicks heavy duty booty alright! “Have Faith In Me”, which ends the set shows their gift for a great Soul ballad, something which ...

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”.
