Feel No Fret/Shine - Average White Band (The)

The Beatles (The White Album)

Advantages: A good excuse to re-discover a great album.
Disadvantages: You may have bought it a couple of times before.

Having recently re-discovered this album I had forgotten just how great it is. The album contains classics such as 'Helter Skelter', 'Yer Blues', 'Happiness is a Warm Gun' and Harrison's awesome 'While my Guitar Gently Weeps'. In my opinion this is a sometimes overlooked album when the Beatles catalogue is considered and often remains a source of disagreement between fans. For me 'The White Album' remains an incredible and often ambitious piece of work. In my opinion 'Happiness is a Warm Gun' contains one of Lennon's best vocals and the instrumentation is beautiful throughout, especially McCartney's bass parts and Harrison's playing on 'While my Guitar Gently Weeps'. Despite containing a few of my least favourite Beatles songs I still find it full of inventive lyrics and interesting musical ideas. For me a genuine classic. ...

Review of Beatles, The (The White Album) - Beatles (The)

GETTING THAT FEELING....

Advantages: FRESH, FUNKY, FABULOUS MIX OF ROCK AND POP AND SO MUCH MORE
Disadvantages: NOT A SINGLE ONE...!!!!

*****The Feeling***** *****Twelve Stops and Home***** The Album to drift you into all the shades of Autumn I discovered this album about 2 weeks ago, and tonight I listened to it all the way through and found myself falling in love with it in quite an unexpected way. I'd heard Kettles' On, but never listened to the whole album, and tonight's hearing has got me wishing I'd listened to it sooner. It is, in short, marvellous. ********************************************************************* The Feeling (The Band) The Band are: Dan Gillespie Sells - vocals & guitar Richard Jones - bass Kevin Jeremiah - guitar Ciaran Jeremiah - keyboards Paul Stewart - drums I've seen their pictures on the website, and most of them are really quite cute (shhhh!), Dan, the lead singer has a voice the covers quite a wide range ...

Review of Twelve Stops And Home - Feeling (The)

The End Of The First (And Best) Form Of The Band

Advantages: A Few Of Good Tracks
Disadvantages: Nowhere Near The Same Degree Of Quality As Their Earlier Work

reaches the heights of their best works, it still manages to entertain and it feels more upbeat than some of their other albums with a high tempo and short overall time making it a whistle stop tour of The Band's 'final' album. The album began life in the early autumn of 1976, when Robbie Robertson declared that he could no longer keep up with the group's constant touring, but suggested that the group should go out with a band, a project that would lead to The Last Waltz. This developed and many famous faces cam aboard, including Bob Dylan, Neil Young and Joni Mitchell, which lead to it being set down for both a film and album. The Warner Brothers president, Mo Ostin, a friend of Robbie's put up the money for the film but wanted the album to be released on Warner Brothers also, so the group needed to fulfil their contract with Capitol and then ...
