For somebody with a restless creative spirit, Paul Weller has no quarrel with taking frequent strolls through his back pages. An Orchestrated Songbook finds the singer/songwriter plucking a number of softer tunes from throughout his career, then turning them over to Jules Buckley to arrange for the BBC Symphony Orchestra. Weller held the concert on May 15, 2021, releasing it as An Orchestrated Songbook later in the year, and as something of a companion piece to Other Aspects: Live at Royal Festival Hall Continue reading “Paul Weller – An Orchestrated Songbook With Jules Buckley & The BBC Symphony Orchestra (2021) [Official Digital Release] [CD-Quality + Hi-Res]”

Without Keith Moon, the Who may have lacked the restless firepower that distinguished their earlier albums, but Face Dances had some of Pete Townshend’s best, most incisive compositions since Quadrophenia. “Don’t Let Go the Coat” was one of his better odes to Meher Baba, “You Better You Bet” was a driving rocker, as was the rueful “Cache Cache,” while “How Can You Do It Alone” was a solid ballad. While Townshend’s songs were graceful and introspective, Roger Daltrey delivered them without any subtlety, rendering their power impotent.

Stevie Nicks – Albums Collection

Stevie Nicks - Albums Collection

Famed for her mystical chanteuse image, singer/songwriter Stevie Nicks enjoyed phenomenal success not only as a solo artist but also as a key member of Fleetwood Mac. Possessed of a raspy croon, Nicks had a duo with Lindsey Buckingham in the early ’70s, releasing an excellent folk-pop album as Buckingham Nicks before the pair were absorbed into veteran U.K. group Fleetwood Mac.

John Hiatt has often wavered back and forth between his instincts as a rocker and a more measured singer/songwriter bent, and after the rowdy guitar-fueled blues-rock of 2003’s Beneath This Gruff Exterior, it should come as no great surprise that Hiatt toned things down a bit for his next album, 2005’s Master of Disaster.

Dennis DeYoung - 26 East Vol. 2 (2021) [Japanese Edition]

Dennis DeYoung is back with the second volume of his fond farewell to recorded music, “26 East, Vol. 2.” As with the preceding volume, “26 East, Vol. 2” once again hints strongly at DeYoung’s legendary rock roots with Styx. A fitting goodbye and a final signature on an outstanding body of work. Continue reading “Dennis DeYoung – 26 East Vol. 2 (2021) [Japanese Edition]”

The Iveys – Maybe Tomorrow (1969) [1992, Remastered]

The Iveys - Maybe Tomorrow (1969) [1992, Remastered]

The story is well-known: south Wales pop group, the Iveys, are discovered by the Beatles’ aide-de-camp Mal Evans, who not only signs them to Apple Records but produces their first sessions. Their first single, the glorious Bee Gees-like ballad “Maybe Tomorrow,” is released in November 1968, yet it unaccountably stiffs. Disheartened, Apple shelves the planned U.S./U.K. release of the Iveys’ debut album, though it does eventually sneak out in Japan and Germany.

The Doobie Brothers – Liberté (2021)

The Doobie Brothers - Liberté (2021)

Out on the road in the 2020s, the Doobie Brothers feature Michael McDonald, but when it comes time for the group to cut a record, the band whittles down to the trio of Tom Johnston, Patrick Simmons, and John McFee. Naturally, this means Liberté — the Doobies’ first album of new original material since 2010’s World Gone Crazy — sounds closer to a refurbished version of Toulouse Street or The Captain and Me than Takin’ It to the Streets; there’s no funky soft rock or smooth blue-eyed soul, just a lot of straight-ahead rock & roll.

Label: Geffen | Genre: Synth-Pop, Pop Rock

When it was released, Trans was Neil Young’s most baffling album. He had employed a vocoder to synthesize his voice on five of the album’s nine tracks, resulting in disembodied singing, the lyrics nearly impossible to decipher without the lyric sheet. And even when you read the words, “Computer Age,” “We R in Control,” “Transformer Man,” “Computer Cowboy,” and “Sample and Hold” seemed like a vague mishmash of high-tech jargon.

Santana – Blessings And Miracles (2021)

Santana - Blessings And Miracles (2021)

Blessings and Miracles belongs to the Supernatural lineage, an album where Santana often cedes the spotlight to a diverse array of guest stars. What sounded fresh in 1999 now sounds slightly formulaic in 2021, especially since Santana reunite with Rob Thomas, the Matchbox Twenty singer who helped turn Supernatural’s “Smooth” into an international hit back in the days of Y2K.
