Extreme – Six (2023)

Extreme - SIX (2023)

Fifteen years in the making, Extreme’s sixth studio album (the aptly named Six) is the long-gestating follow-up to 2008’s workmanlike Saudades de Rock, which marked the studio debut of new drummer Kevin Figueiredo. Featuring the same crew (Gary Cherone, Nuno Bettencourt, Pat Badger, and Figueiredo), the 12-song set is as polished, energetic, and inventive as one would expect from musicians of this caliber Continue reading “Extreme – Six (2023)”

Ian Anderson - The Secret Language Of Birds (2000)

The Secret Language of Birds is Ian Anderson’s third solo album, but the first to specifically highlight his melodic skill and guitar prowess on a set of folk-inspired songs. His first solo album, 1983’s Walk into Light, was marred by its full embrace of sterile ’80s production in lieu of rusticity. Continue reading “Ian Anderson – The Secret Language Of Birds (2000)”

Jethro Tull - RökFlöte (2023) [Japanese Blu-spec CD2]

RökFlöte – Jethro Tull – The name of the album comes from “Rock Flute” as the original idea was to make an album of mostly instrumental flute music.

Michael Thompson Band Featuring Moon Calhoun - The Love Goes On (2023)

A new MTB album is always cause for celebration among AOR fans, but “The Love Goes On” is a particularly exciting entry as it sees the return of original vocalist Moon Calhoun (The Strand, Moon Over Paris, Western Front ft.

Louise Cordet – The Sweet Beat of Louise Cordet: Complete UK Decca Recordings (2011)

Louise Cordet - The Sweet Beat of Louise Cordet: Complete UK Decca Recordings (2011)

British singer Louise Cordet got a U.K. Top Twenty hit in 1962 as a teenager with her first single, “I’m Just a Baby,” but never made the hit parade again despite issuing a couple dozen tracks between 1962 and 1964. This exemplary compilation has all of them, including her six singles, a 1963 British EP, a couple songs from the 1963 Just for Fun soundtrack, and nine tracks (all but one sung in French) released only in France.

Julie Grant – Come to me: The Pye Anthology (2004)

Julie Grant - Come to me: The Pye Anthology (2004)

Several of the British female vocalists associated with the ’60s pop/rock scene were, in reality, probably more comfortable with the role of all-around entertainer, at equal or greater ease emulating MOR nightclub belters as American girl group sounds. You could put Cilla Black or Petula Clark in that category, along with a good deal of other less-successful peers of the time who may have had a minor hit or two, and helped fill out the numerous British pop package tours of the mid-’60s.
