To a man, they feel like they didn’t get the breaks or the push that they needed to build a long and lucrative run at the top of the charts. No doubt that there is some truth to that, and it would have been nice for them on a personal level to have become as big as Journey or REO Speedwagon, but listening to HNE Recordings’ six-disc collection Silver Dreams: Complete Albums 1975-1980, it’s clear that on a musical level the band were quite successful Continue reading “The Babys – Silver Dreams: Complete Albums 1975-1980 (2019) [6CDs Box Set]”

Although it probably wasn’t meant as such, this self-titled album is Emitt Rhodes’ definitive statement. Soon after disbanding the Merry-Go-Round (of “Live” fame), Rhodes scored a solo deal with Dunhill. Rather than recording with a band or using studio musicians (which he did with his first “solo” album American Dream), the multi-instrumentalist decided to build a small, primitive home studio and record the entire affair there, “At Home.” Continue reading “Emitt Rhodes – Emitt Rhodes (1970) [2001, Japan, Reissue]”

Joining the illustrious Mr. King onstage were guitar virtuoso Derek Trucks, “songbird extraordinaire” Susan Tedeschi, The Rolling Stones’ Ronnie Wood, Simply Red’s Mick Hucknall and former Guns N’ Roses axeman Slash.

One of Count Basie’s few small-group sessions of the ’60s was his best. With trumpeter Thad Jones and tenors Frank Foster and Eric Dixon filling in the septet, Basie is in superlative form on a variety of blues, standards and two originals apiece from Thad Jones and Frank Wess.
