Roger Hodgson - Albums Collection (1984 - 2010)

Best known for his stint fronting art pop hitmakers Supertramp, Roger Hodgson was born in Portsmouth, England, on March 21, 1950. While growing up in Oxford, Hodgson started playing guitar before he was a teenager, and was soon writing songs while at boarding school. He began recording during the late ’60s, issuing a single in 1969 as part of the session band Argosy with Elton John (then known as Reg Dwight).

Uriah Heep – Salisbury (1970) [2016, Remastered]

Uriah Heep - Salisbury (1970) [2016, Remastered]

On their second album, Uriah Heep jettisons the experiments that weighed down Very ‘Eavy Very ‘Umble and works toward perfecting their blend of heavy metal power and prog rock complexity. Salisbury tips the band’s style in the prog direction, containing one side of songs and one side dominated by a lengthy and ornate epic-length composition.

In January 2019, the Who confirmed that they were working on their first album of new material in 13 years (since their 2006 studio album of original material Endless Wire), due to contain “dark ballads, heavy rock stuff, experimental electronica, sampled stuff and Who-ish tunes that began with a guitar that goes yanga-dang”, as Townshend stated. Vocalist Roger Daltrey and guitarist Pete Townshend recorded their parts of the album separately.

Eric Clapton – Eric Clapton (1970) [1995, MFSL Remastered]

Eric Clapton - Eric Clapton (1970) [1995, MFSL Remastered]

Eric Clapton’s eponymous solo debut was recorded after he completed a tour with Delaney & Bonnie. Clapton used the core of the duo’s backing band and co-wrote the majority of the songs with Delaney Bramlett — accordingly, Eric Clapton sounds more laid-back and straightforward than any of the guitarist’s previous recordings.

Sting – Brand New Day (1999) [2004, Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Sting - Brand New Day (1999) [2004, Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Brand New Day is the sixth solo studio album by British singer-songwriter Sting, released by A&M Records on 27 September 1999.

Upon its release, Brand New Day was a critical and commercial success, and hailed as the triumphant return for Sting.

Eric Clapton – 461 Ocean Boulevard (1974) [1993, MFSL Remastered]

Eric Clapton - 461 Ocean Boulevard (1974) [1993, MFSL Remastered]

461 Ocean Boulevard is Eric Clapton’s second studio solo album, arriving after his side project of Derek and the Dominos and a long struggle with heroin addiction. Although there are some new reggae influences, the album doesn’t sound all that different from the rock, pop, blues, country, and R&B amalgam of Eric Clapton.

Released in 2016, I’m A Freak Baby – Grapefruit’s 3-CD overview of the UK’s late Sixties/early Seventies nascent hard rock/proto-metal scene – received rapturous acclaim from pundits and punters alike, with The Guardian’s “grim, grey and glorious” summary succinctly capturing the general response to the set. Three years later, the woodwork squeaks and out come the freaks again. And, like all good follow-ups, I’m A Freak 2 Baby expands upon the original while simultaneously tightening the stylistic mesh..In addition to further selections from some of the subterranean stars of the first volume (Iron Claw, the semi-housetrained Stack Waddy, the even more semi-housetrained Wicked Lady), we feature many of the genre’s pioneers, with key tracks from The Jeff Beck Group, Edgar Broughton Band, Atomic Rooster and High Tide.

Three CD collection. Although vintage British psychedelia is viewed by many these days as an Alice In Wonderland-style enchanted garden full of beatific flower children innocently gathering flowers or chasing butterflies, there was always a more visceral element to the scene. Pointedly free of such fripperies as scarlet tunic-wearing gnomes, phenomenal cats and talismanic bicycles, the power trio format that was popularized by the likes of Cream and the Jimi Hendrix Experience spawned a host of imitators. As the 60s drew to a close and pop evolved slowly but inexorably into rock, psychedelia gave way to a sound that was harder, leaner, heavier, louder.

1983’s Airborne by Eagles guitarist Don Felder is truly style over substance. For a member of such a phenomenally successful and visible group to release something so nondescript is really food for thought. Felder produced this effort, and he has friends galore pack the proceedings with lots of musicianship, the late Carlos Vega is on drums, as are Joe Vitale, Russ Kunkel, and Tris Imboden; fellow latter-day Eagle Timothy B. Schmit provides backing vocals, and there are appearances by Jeff Lorber Continue reading “Don Felder – Airborne (1983) [CD-Quality + Hi-Res Vinyl Rip]”

Jeff Lynne’s ELO – From Out Of Nowhere (2019)

Jeff Lynne's ELO - From Out Of Nowhere (2019)

Unlike either its predecessor Alone in the Universe or 2001’s Zoom, From out of Nowhere didn’t appear after a prolonged period of silence from Jeff Lynne’s ELO. It arrived in November of 2019, nearly exactly four years after Alone in the Universe, a rapid turnaround that recalls Lynne’s work schedule as a bandleader and producer in the 1970s and ’80s. That’s not the only way From out of Nowhere conjures memories of the past. Continue reading “Jeff Lynne’s ELO – From Out Of Nowhere (2019)”
