The Babys – Silver Dreams: Complete Albums 1975-1980 (2019) [6CDs Box Set]

The Babys - Silver Dreams: Complete Albums 1975-1980 (2019) [6CDs Box Set]

Reading interviews with members of the late-’70s hard rock-meets-new wave group the Babys, one might think their short career was a failure. 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]”

Emitt Rhodes – Emitt Rhodes (1970) [2001, Japan, Reissue]

Emitt Rhodes - Emitt Rhodes (1970) [2001, Japan, Reissue]

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]”

Joe Strummer – Assembly (2021)

Joe Strummer - Assembly (2021)

It was Joe Strummer’s good fortune that he was the frontman of one of the greatest rock bands of all time, the Clash. It was his burden that after the group broke up, he had to spend the rest of his career being judged by a standard that meant only so much to him. Very little of what Strummer did as solo artist followed the musical template of the Clash, and that was just the way he wanted it. Continue reading “Joe Strummer – Assembly (2021)”

The last of a series of showtune albums recorded by the trio of pianist Andre Previn, bassist Red Mitchell and drummer Shelly Manne finds the all-star group focusing on the music of West Side Story (Previn and Manne alternated leadership, and it was the drummer’s good fortune to have the famous My Fair Lady album under his own name).

Considering the fraught circumstances in which this album was recorded, it’s a miracle it sounds as serene as it does. Originally, this was planned as a collaborative project between Krause and his musical partner, Paul Beaver, for Columbia, but that deal collapsed when CBS executive Clive Davis was fired.

Gary Numan - Intruder (2021) [Deluxe Edition]

‘Intruder’ is Numan’s 18th solo studio album and follows 2017’s ‘Savage: Songs From A Broken World’, which became his highest charting set in almost forty years when it debuted at #2 on the Official Albums Chart. That commercial success was complemented with wide-reaching critical acclaim from Mojo, The Quietus, PopMatters and more. Continue reading “Gary Numan – Intruder (2021) [Deluxe Edition]”

Originally released on the limited-edition Super Deluxe edition of Wildflowers….And All the Rest, Finding Wildflowers contains alternate versions of most of the album’s songs. Notably, the single “You Don’t Know How It Feels” is absent, along with “Time to Move On,” but the B-side “Girl on LSD” is here, as are two versions of “Cabin Down Below,” including a nicely shambling version of the blues tune.

Although it would have been interesting to hear Nat King Cole play some piano and perhaps accompany a vocal by George Shearing instead of exclusively the other way around, this session was a big success. Cole is in prime form on such tunes as “September Song,” “Pick Yourself Up,” and “Serenata.” Shearing’s accompaniment is tasteful and lightly swinging, and the string arrangements help to accentuate the romantic moods.
