Earth, Wind & Fire – Discography (1971 – 2013)

Earth, Wind & Fire - Discography (1971 - 2013)

Earth, Wind & Fire were one of the most musically accomplished, critically acclaimed, and commercially popular funk bands of the ’70s. Conceived by drummer, bandleader, songwriter, kalimba player, and occasional vocalist Maurice White, EWF’s all-encompassing musical vision used funk as its foundation, but also incorporated jazz, smooth soul, gospel, pop, rock & roll, psychedelia, blues, folk, African music, and, later on, disco.

Frankie Miller – …That’s Who!: The Complete Chrysalis Recordings 1973-1980 (2011) [4CD Box Set]

Frankie Miller - ...That's Who!: The Complete Chrysalis Recordings 1973-1980 (2011) [4CD Box Set]

Scottish whiskey-voiced vocalist Frankie Miller never made much of a splash in the States, despite, or perhaps because of, his fixation on American soul and R&B. Yanks have never been terribly appreciative of the music that originated in their homeland, which might have been a contributing factor to Miller’s marginal popularity in the U.S. He was a fairly major star in the U.K., though, big enough for EMI to remaster, repackage, and reissue his catalog (at least for the titles on their Chrysalis imprint) into this generous four-disc box.

Earth, Wind & Fire – Head To The Sky (1973) [2016, Audio Fidelity Remastered, CD-Layer + Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Earth, Wind & Fire - Head To The Sky (1973) [2016, Audio Fidelity Remastered, CD-Layer + Hi-Res SACD Rip]

As phenomenally popular as Earth, Wind & Fire was from the mid-’70s to the early ’80s, it’s easy to forget that the band was hardly an overnight success. With Head to the Sky — EWF’s fourth album overall, second with Philip Bailey, and second for Columbia — Maurice White’s very spiritual and ambitious brand of soul and funk was starting to pay off commercially.

Boz Scaggs - My Time: A Boz Scaggs Anthology (1969-1997) [1997]

In his liner notes to the double-disc, two-and-a-half-hour Boz Scaggs compilation My Time: The Anthology (1969-1997), Ben Fong-Torres writes, “There are those who, charting Boz’s career, identify specific phases: rock and roll with [Steve] Miller; the early solo albums, which were as much country and blues, and pop and jazz, as they were rock; the Slow Dancer/Silk Degrees stage, of Boz as sweet soul singer; the nearly decade-long retrenchment and semi-retirement, and the return to rootsy blues and R&B in Some Change and Come On Home.” Fong-Torres goes on to say that this is not an incorrect way to describe Scaggs’ career, but that there is more unity than it would imply: “in every phase of his career, he has remained faithful to his musical instincts.” Continue reading “Boz Scaggs – My Time: A Boz Scaggs Anthology (1969-1997) [1997]”
