The Blues Brothers and Friends: Live From Chicago's House of Blues
18 jun 13
Very nice live performance, well played, from 1997, featuring many "friends" taking turns on stage, with Jim Belushi "Brother Zee Blues" standing in for his brother John "Joliet Jake Blues" alongside of course "Elwood" Aykroyd. The two make a pretty tight pair, with good old Jim putting his "heart and soul" into honoring his brother (who is also mentioned in the middle of Sweet Home Chicago), and he doesn't do too badly at all. However, this is the only BB album I was getting tired of listening to...

I had snubbed the very first Byrds in favor of their Psych-Folk-Rock masterpieces from '66 to '68. Listening to their debut again, I found a nice album, pleasant and full of gems that are either excellent covers (Dylan being the most honored) or original tracks (especially Clarke). The legendary guitar of McGuinn (Jingle-Jangle), accompanied by the intertwining of Clarke and Crosby's guitars in a texture that influenced so many bands in the '80s and '90s (minghia the R.E.M.). Essential, innovative, immense.

The Byrds: Younger Than Yesterday

Second chapter of the four in the golden epic of the Byrds. Catchy and crystalline melodies, superb pop and psych-pop songs. This is the album where Crosby's songwriting dominates, gifting us masterpieces like "Mind Gardens" and "Everybody's Been Burned," and he is well supported by an equally inspired Hillman ("Have You Seen Her Face," "Thoughts and Words," which has nothing to do with Battisti). The extraordinary cover of Dylan is unmissable here, "My Back Pages," and I must say that indeed, Dylan's songs interpreted by such superb melodists are even more beautiful; the rendition here is moving. McGuinn takes a back seat in terms of writing compared to his two inspired companions, but his electric guitar brands the entire album with fabulous passages. Ah, how I love the sound of McGuinn's electric guitar, one of my favorites and the most distinctive.

    In some ways, one could say that Dylan's music has drawn the same benefits through the Byrds, as De André's has been reinterpreted/enriched by PFM. Nonetheless, it’s been a while since I last listened to the Byrds; they have quite a few high-quality albums in their catalog, and specifically, I wouldn't know which one I would favor as their finest work if I were to listen to them now. I only remember that at the time, I considered Younger to be the most complete and mature album.

    I don't know. I'm more attached to "Fifth Dimension," but among those 4 albums released between 1966 and 1968, I couldn't even tell you which I consider the best because they're all of the highest quality. Even the first two records are good. They have created some beautiful things, yes. On the other hand, I don't agree with the De André-PFM discussion; for me, the band has never added quality to Fabrizio's pieces. The live performances are nice, but it's not a collaboration that has ever particularly excited me. Better then with the former Premiata, Pagani. Much, much better.

    the first psychedelic hints in a couple of tracks ("Eight Miles High," "I See You"...) but the rest is folk rock... but who cares, it's definitely their first masterpiece.. the next two, especially "Notorious," are much more "acidic"..
  • hjhhjij
    20 jan 14
    Yes, this is the pioneer. In fact, even tracks like the title track and "Mr. Spaceman" are literally psych, at its dawn. "Eight Miles High," inspired by Shankar and the contemporary Coltrane, is the ultimate.
  • madcat

    Well, also what's happening, 2-4-2 fox trot... this is my favorite by the Byrds and it's in my top 20, but they still always made (in the 3 acid albums) a kind of lysergic folk rock. I don't feel the other 2 as "acid" anymore (maybe because of some extra effect) but the foundation is always the same; it's their way of doing psychedelia which, by the way, is one of my favorites from that era.

    If we really want to be honest, the year before Dylan had released Subterranean Homesick Blues, a truly lysergic piece, both in lyrics and music, along with other amphetamine-like tracks such as Bringing and Highway 61, without meaning to take anything away from the Byrds, whom I adore.
  • madcat
    22 jan 14
    It's true, that Dylan album is quite folk-psychedelic, his first turning point, in fact, because aside from the first half being electric, more rock-blues in my opinion, the second half has some rather visionary flashes.

Guys, what can I say? This album is the Alpha and Omega of traditional Irish-Celtic music, the folk revival of the Emerald Isle, the Big Bang of its genre in its years. The center of it all and the starting point (though a whole discussion could be made about Sean O'Riada and the Ceoltóirí Chualann, of course). An absolute milestone. Traditional pieces of every kind (heart-wrenching Slow Airs, Jigs, Reels, Polkas, Uilleann Pipes solos—whatever you can think of: dances and tears) played and arranged by these rigorous and wild archaeologists of Irish music, packed into Medleys that have the magical ability to transport you to a distant Ireland in time, yet with them, it becomes incredibly close in space. Indescribable sensations. Traditional tunes played, among others, by a band of extraordinary musicians not only for spirit and heart but also for technique and instrumental skill—true virtuosos of their instruments, capable of elevating heart-rending dances and melodies like few others, led by the immense Paddy Malone (arranger, incredible player of the uilleann pipes and thin whistle) and known as Sean Potts (with his extraordinary thin whistle, which I could listen to for days without stopping), Martin Fay (fiddle), Michael Tubridy (flute and concertina), and David Fallon (the bodhrán, the Irish drum). One of the greatest bands (folk for sure, but also beyond) of all time for me.

    Well, the Chieftains are THE group of traditional Irish/Celtic music; if you like the genre, they are the zenith and the a-b-c. (Along with the Dubliners, who are a bit of the other side of traditional Irish folk, sung and more "earthy," a bit like the daddies of the Pogues, while the Chieftains are the uncles.) Their performances were strictly infused with tradition; often the titles of the pieces are in Irish, indeed not in English, and above all they didn't sing. Since I didn't mention it before, I'll say it now: the Chieftains play Irish dances and airs strictly and completely instrumentally, until the sixth album when they added vocals (and what vocals). The ones singing are uilleann pipes, tin whistle, and fiddle.

The Cramps: Psychedelic Jungle / Gravest Hits
24 oct 21
Just the opening track "Green Fuz" (a cover of the namesake band) would be enough for me to choose Psychedelic Jungle as my favorite Cramps album, but the point is that the high level continues throughout all 14 tracks, with a peak that I can pinpoint in "Voodoo Idol" (though several others could be mentioned), which for me is among the best pieces by the band directly written by Ivy and Lux. Here too, their extraordinary work as "archaeologists" (or tomb raiders, given the types) of all those garage and rockabilly bands that couldn't break through between the late '50s and early '60s, lasting only a few singles... Exceptional singles, though, that the Cramps select and bring back to the surface with passion and perfect care in identifying those that completely align with their style (just listen to their "The Crusher" and the Novas' original). Perfect balance in the tracklist (7 covers - 7 originals), a stunning album from start to finish (not that the others aren't, at least until 1986, this one just resonates a bit more for me). Ah, this is the first with Kid Congo on guitar, replacing Gregory. The newcomer also forms a killer duo with Ivy.

Rock'n Roll will never die, someone said, and rightly so. At most it dies for a few years and then rises from the grave, more rotten, more macabre, more wicked, more decomposed. Like here. Psychobilly (excuse me, it’s the most beautiful name ever given to a music genre) in all its filthy splendor. Rock'n Roll and Garage from the '50s and '60s, rotten with the years, turning into a bacchanal of almost "tribal" ferocity. Most of the tracks are by the Cramps themselves, but there are excellent covers too (with "Strychnine," a cover by the Sonics, one of the toughest and wildest garage bands of the '60s, the Cramps hit the jackpot) like the fantastic duo that closes the album: "Tear it Up," the wildest and most psychobilly song on the entire record, and "Fever," which is instead a sublime, hallucinatory, passionate, and unexpected slowdown, a finale that deserves applause. An amazing record.

Beautiful live from the Crampi. (though—I shouldn’t even say it—it can't fully capture the live impact of such a band and the performances of the good Lux, so blessed are those who saw them). The only flaw is that it's just a mini-live; it doesn’t last long and thank goodness in the subsequent reissues they graciously added two very welcome extra songs (three, actually, but the last one is the classic bonus track thrown in randomly, not even live and two years after this live, "Surfin' Dead," which serves as the soundtrack to the amusing b-movie "The Return of the Living Dead"). A nice touch is that the live set consists of unreleased tracks (and/or new covers) and, although it’s live, it can be considered a new album (new in nineteen eighty-three, of course) in every sense. Another must-have album, Lux and Ivy in top form.

Debut EP simply perfect, one original piece and four excellent covers. Three tracks stand out in particular: the surprising "Lux" that shifts from a slow melancholic tone into a beautiful "Lonesome Town," the much more predictable interpretation of the zany "Uccello che surfa" by Spazzaturauomini, which fits the Cramps like cream on grandma's cake, and finally "Human Fly," the song they wrote themselves, which is one of my favorites from their repertoire of twenty-year-old sour and expired rock'n'roll.

    Just think about the amazement this album caused in '67. As if Martians had landed on Earth overnight. No one before him had such guitar technique, stage presence, sounds, feedback... He was from another planet compared to everyone else. Even Clapton. To realize this, you just need to listen to Hendrix's version of "Sunshine of Your Love" by Clapton's Cream, never recorded but performed several times... a tribute that was meant to be, it rejuvenated the song. Then the 3 studio albums by Jimi are all stunning; my favorite is still Electric Ladyland, but this one is phenomenal... well done!

After a dazzling debut, a second album that is both a confirmation and maturation (later fully realized with "If I Should Fall...") at the same time, maintaining the same wonderful green coordinates but adding a bit more variety and, at least for me, feeling a tad more "substantial" compared to the Rose Rosse (Per Me). There is a strong common thread here (but generally with certain Irish ballads), even just in the music and arrangements, between some fabulous ballads (whether written by Shane or traditional or classic from others—Bogle and MacColl) that are Irish and certain American ballads of a similar style, equally drunk, equally melancholic and poignant. And just to confirm, in the CD reissue, there is a poem specially written for them by one Tom Waits, who, by the way, considers this album among his favorites. Then every now and then, the reference to the "landing" territory becomes quite intentional ("Jesse James," for example). The average quality of the tracks? Huge. The production is by the old fox Elvis (the one who wasn't on a deserted island in 1985, I mean). Among the gems is "I'm a Man You Don't Meet Every Day," sung, however, in the female voice of Cait—future Mrs. Elvis—O'Riordan, because even the Pogues had to produce a folk-Irish piece with a female voice; it's no mystery that it always fits perfectly.

A wonderful album that has nothing to envy from the group's previous two works. The permanent entry of maestro Terry Woods in the lineup has had a significant impact on the songwriting, and it is precisely from the Woods/McGowan duo that something like "Streets of Sorrow/Birmingham Six" emerges. Then there's the lethal punch of the first three tracks ("Turkish Song of the Damned"!) and the grandeur of "Fairytale of New York" (a splendid duet with MacColl) and "Lullaby of London." Chills.

In the heart of the '80s, a group of young punks with spirit and attitude, fueled by a deep passion for their roots, are led by a rough, toothless drunkard who decides to revive the glories of traditional Irish music, amid wild drunken dances and heart-wrenching ballads, likely intoxicated themselves. The result is an exceptional album, an unmissable milestone for lovers of this music and these timeless sounds. Not only are there the obvious traditional songs wonderfully interpreted, but also new tracks that perfectly reflect that musical tradition, because the rough, toothless drunkard in his spare time is also one of the best songwriters of his generation. All delivered with a grit that’s impossible not to love. In my opinion, the two greatest masterpieces will come with the next two albums, but how can you not love an album with a track like this The Pogues - Kitty (Album Version)

    If Rum, Sodomy... is probably the peak, the one that follows comes very close.

It may not be on the level of the irresistible Get the Picture, but I really enjoyed this one as well. Cleaner, less raw and wild, more mature, more melodic, and vaguely psychedelic—it's the best possible transition between the PT of 1965 and those of S.F. Sorrow. Not everything lives up to the masterpiece, but it has some unforgettable tracks (for example, the opening track, "House of Ten," and "My Way"). For me, a very beautiful record, 4 generous stars.
