ONCE UPON A TIME.....Breezy Stories

 

DANNY O'KEEFE  Breezy Stories  (Atlantic,1973) - Folk rock



     Such a bizarre album. Very heterogeneous and reminiscent of so many other artists at the same time! If you like Mike Nesmith (big influence!), Boz Scaggs, Tim Buckley, Steely Dan or Geoff Muldaur, it's all mixed up in this bowl. Some excellent musicianship is displayed on this album but it takes a while to absorb it all. Not in a bad sense, mind you...

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

Слика
  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.....Hats Of Glass

  EELA CRAIG  Hats Of Glass  (Vertigo,1978) - Prog/Art rock       This third album (1978) is the successor of the highly acclaimed One Niter (1976), a treat for the vintage keyboard aficionados, from Hammond and Mellotron to Minimoog and Hohner clavinet, a real Austrian symphonic rock gem! The line-up still features the 3 keyboard players but one of them, Frits Riedelberger does now also some lead vocals, and Eela Craig welcomes a new member, singer Will Orthofer. TRACKLIST : A Spaceman Came Travelling                       Hats Of Glass                       Chances Are                       Heaven Sales                       Holstenwall Fair                       Caught On The Air ...
