They formed in 1974, broke up in 1980 and reformed in the 90's and are amongst the most talented and sophisticated artists in the genre.<br /><br />Brand X are perhaps best known for hosting Phil Collins as their some-time drummer. Other members included Keyboard player Robin Lumley, previously with Bowie's Spider's From Mars and John Goodsall of Atomic Rooster<br /><br />Their first album, Unorthodox Behaviour, was turned down by Island Records and released by Genesis's label, Charisma<br /><br />The album shines with everything a fan of prog-jazz needs: complextime signatures, adventurous arrangements, and experimental sounds. Phenomenal bass grooves, ferocious driving drums and complex solos snaking in and out of off-kilter themes. Think funky Mahivishnu and you just about have it<br /><br />Highly reccomended.Paul Rhodeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01997446626156397822noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2437600225801413129.post-85687906320866056182009-01-12T11:19:00.001-08:002009-01-12T19:18:50.376-08:00Who Loves Tal Wilkenfeld ?

Nash left the group a year later, joining with Crosby and Stills to record the trio’s self-titled album......Reflections gathers several songs from that album-and its follow-up, released a few months later with the addition of Neil Young - including “Pre-Road Downs”, “Marrakesh Express”, “Our House” and “Teach Your Children”. The set also includes tracks from the group’s other albums: “Just A Song Before I Go”, “Wasted On The Way” and “Heartland”.<br /><br />The collection also brings together several classics from Nash’s four solo albums, ranging from the politically-charged (”Military Madness” and “Chicago” / “We Can Change The World”) to the emotionally raw (”Simple Man” and “Sleep Song”) and the socially conscious (”Barrel Of Pain” and “Chippin’ Away”.) Reflections spotlights 32 songs with different mixes and alternate versions that have never been released. Among the highlights is Nash’s solo acoustic demo of “Right Between The Eyes”. Recorded during the Déjà Vu sessions, a live version of the track popped up in 1971 on a CSN&Y live album. The compilation contains six unreleased tracks, including “Water From The Moon”, “Try To Find Me” and “In Your Name”, a song he recorded in 2007"<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.spincds.com/">Pre-order Spincds.</a></em> <strong></strong>Paul Rhodeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01997446626156397822noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2437600225801413129.post-62483437384093055422008-12-21T01:30:00.000-08:002008-12-21T02:13:53.778-08:00Rock Revival's Classic Trax (1965): Tom Jones 'It's Not Unusual'<div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="http://music.ccpblogs.com/files/2008/03/tomjones-itsnotunusual1965.jpg" src="http://music.ccpblogs.com/files/2008/03/tomjones-itsnotunusual1965.jpg" /><br /></div><br />OK, confession time, 'It's Not Unusual"by Tom Jones is one of my favourite songs, albeit I have thousands of favourites.<br /><br />Tom Jones may be associated with the likes of Engelbert Humperdink now but back in the day he was one of the best white soul singers, taking advantage of his Welsh roots where everyone can sing and he knew he was well liked by the ladies<br /><br />'It's Not Unusual' went to number one in the UK charts in 1965, Jones's, peaking at #10 in May of that year in the US<br /><br />Check it out!<br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/vfaNCRAFuek&hl=en&fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/vfaNCRAFuek&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>Paul Rhodeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01997446626156397822noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2437600225801413129.post-55435657965878237392008-12-20T14:44:00.000-08:002008-12-20T14:53:24.747-08:00Garage Rock 101: Proto-Punk Pioneers<div style="text-align: center;"><img style="width: 357px; height: 413px;" alt="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/105/253375053_e134879208.jpg?v=1191480455" src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/105/253375053_e134879208.jpg?v=1191480455" /></div><br />Every now and then on Rock Revival we have a look at a specific genre in the history of rock. Todays focus, garage rock from the mid-1960's is one of the most unrecognised but important. Garage rock was raw rock and roll, popular in the US and Canada, heavily influenced by The British Invasion (ie: The Who, The Kinks, The Animals)<br /><br />The rough and ready party anthems were a precursor to US punk and were revived in the early 70's when The Ramones, New York Dolls and Stooges burst on to the scene.<br /><br />There were literaly thousands of bands in the US, very few of which became commercial successes.<br /><br />Songs that did make it, however, include, "Louie Louie" by The Kingsmen (1963-64), "Psychotic Reaction" by The Count Five (1966), "Pushin' Too Hard" by The Seeds (1966), "Gloria" by the Shadows of Knight (1966), "96 Tears" by Question Mark and the Mysterians (1966), "Talk Talk" by The Music Machine (1966), "Dirty Water" by The Standells (1966), "Double Shot (of My Baby's Love)" by The Swingin' Medallions (1966), "Respect" by The Rationals (1966), and "Little Bit O'Soul" by The Music Explosion (1967).<br /><br />Garage rock has continued to rear its head over the years; The Romantics in the late 80's, The Fuzztones in the 80's, The Vines in more recent times.<br /><br />Check it out<br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/EhPvkzFJhnk&hl=en&fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/EhPvkzFJhnk&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/5apEctKwiD8&hl=en&fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/5apEctKwiD8&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/xkvK638yKuY&hl=en&fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/xkvK638yKuY&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>Paul Rhodeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01997446626156397822noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2437600225801413129.post-17072297715439121892008-12-19T14:38:00.000-08:002008-12-19T15:32:30.405-08:00Rock Revival's Forgotten Classics (1971): Ruby Jones 'Stone Junkie'<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZwIv6zI4MWo/SQch5pHSymI/AAAAAAAABtc/W9_UJA-9yaY/s1600-h/Ruby+Jones.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 298px; height: 298px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZwIv6zI4MWo/SQch5pHSymI/AAAAAAAABtc/W9_UJA-9yaY/s320/Ruby+Jones.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262211963778419298" border="0" /></a>Here's clear evidence that back-up singers are often so much better than the artist they support,<br />Singer Ruby Starr was best-known as a backup singer for '70s macho man rockers Black Oak Arkansas.<br /><br />This album was her debut, supervised by the great Curtis mayfield of all people.

You are the people who do the real work."So I am very, very pleased to be in such esteemed company."</em><br /><br />Italian co-host Walter Veltroni, added, <em>"We decided to nominate a man who has given a lot and will continue to give a great deal to the struggle for human rights, to the fight against poverty, with his music and with his words."He has put pressure on the world's governments to reach the UN's Millennium Goals. To give him the prize, is to say that fight will carry on."</em><br /><em></em><br />Source: contactmusic<br /><em></em><br /><em></em>Paul Rhodeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01997446626156397822noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2437600225801413129.post-28413458857684183912008-12-15T02:05:00.000-08:002008-12-15T02:07:25.735-08:00Best Rock Guitar Solos of All Time<div style="text-align: center;"><img style="width: 401px; height: 360px;" alt="http://www.techbandito.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/07/guitar_solo.jpg" src="http://www.techbandito.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/07/guitar_solo.jpg" /><br /></div><br />Hey everyone out there, i am working on this one, write in comments and let me know what you think, what are your top solos ?Paul Rhodeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01997446626156397822noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2437600225801413129.post-87747832156260154742008-12-14T19:50:00.000-08:002008-12-14T20:15:00.544-08:00Tune in to Rock Revival Radio This Week<div style="text-align: center;"><img style="width: 351px; height: 245px;" alt="`HHH’appy to revive old rock classics" src="http://images.whereilive.com.au/images/uploads/1c41ea343b92dfe89fc00fc11e44422f_resized.jpg" width="326" height="245" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><br />Tune in to <span style="font-weight: bold;">Rock Revival Radio</span> this week with Paul, Dave and John, streamed direct to you on the internet.<br /><br />Our last show before Christmas can be heard <span style="font-weight: bold;">8-10pm Sydney</span> time this Thursday night or <span style="font-weight: bold;">9-11am GMT Thursday</span> morning everywhere else<br /><br />John still hasnt decided on his <span style="font-weight: bold;">Classic Album</span> for this week, but he is weighing up between <span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255); font-weight: bold;">Easy Rider</span> and <span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255); font-weight: bold;">Traffic's Low Spark of the High Heel Boys.</span><br /><br />In <span style="font-weight: bold;">Lost Stories of Rock</span> we will be featuring the man who lent <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(102, 102, 204);">Jimmy Page</span> his guitar for <span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 204); font-weight: bold;">Led Zep </span>1 and was best mates with <span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 255); font-weight: bold;">Elvis</span> and <span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255); font-weight: bold;">George Harrison</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Undercover</span> features some pretty fascinating covers of <span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 204); font-weight: bold;">King Crimson</span> and <span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 204); font-weight: bold;">The Band</span>, one is featured on what NME unfairly described as <span style="font-style: italic;">'the worst album ever made in the history of rock'</span>.<br /><br />Plus we will be having a look at three modern Prog bands that are just a little too obsessed with science fiction<br /><br />All that and Dave will look far and wide through the 60's and 70's with <span style="font-weight: bold;">This Day in Rock, </span><span>attempting the incredible feat of not mentioning a drug-bust by <span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 204); font-weight: bold;">David Crosby</span> or where <span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 204); font-weight: bold;">Rod Stewart</span> is keeping his banana..<br /></span><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span><span>We will also</span><span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span><span>explore some of the</span><span style="font-weight: bold;"> Forgotten Gems, </span><span>(albums</span> we have found in our basement) and <span>Paul's</span><span style="font-weight: bold;"> Weekly Mash-Up</span> (this week a Hip-Hop version of <span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 204); font-weight: bold;">Season of the Witch</span>)<br /><br />All you have to do in Press here on Thursday; make sure your pop-ups are turned off !<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.triplehfm.com.au/"><img style="border: 1px solid ;" src="http://tbn1.google.com/images?q=tbn:jX_FhoAXGj3T0M:http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e107/thankyoustan/press_me_button.gif" width="98" height="99" /></a><br /></div>Paul Rhodeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01997446626156397822noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2437600225801413129.post-72786633741664777652008-12-14T19:47:00.000-08:002008-12-14T19:50:14.768-08:00Jefferson Airplane - 'Flight Box' (3 CD) Release January 26, 2009<div style="text-align: center;"><strong></strong><img alt="http://images.wolfgangsvault.com/images/catalog/detail/BG074-PO.jpg" src="http://images.wolfgangsvault.com/images/catalog/detail/BG074-PO.jpg" /><br /></div><br />The 2 concerts featured in this 3-CD compact box set were recorded at famous venues in their hometown.
