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

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. Scott Gorham of Thin Lizzy) to the fold. Calhoun sang on the band’s legendary debut album, “How Long”, which is generally regarded as one of the all-time great West Coast AOR albums.

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.

Bite The Bullet – Rocky Road (2023)

”Rocky Road” is the third album in three years from the reunited Bite The Bullet, but it´s their fourth album counting the debut album in 1989. Bandleader/singer Mick Benton and original guitarist Malcolm Jones are joined by Graham Cowling-Drums, Ant King-Bass and Steve Hill-Keyboards. ”End of the line” from 2022 is a solid album of classic rock and AOR so I expected the same kind of sound on the new album ”Rocky Road” but I think it´s even more towards British rock and even boogie rock than AOR.
