In Old England Town (Boogie No 2) (2003 Remaster)
The first two albums are interesting! Unfortunately, starting from the third album, Face the Music, we arrive at the pop mush.
 
 
 
Building on the brilliant idea of @[Martello], I would like to pay a sort of "tribute" to a great artist like Pino Daniele, specifically, a ranking of his albums (up to Mascalzone Latino from 1989) from worst to best...

No. 1: "Nero A Metà" (1980)
Attention, ladies and gentlemen: a milestone. Here we are at the highest step of the podium, the peak that Daniele reached in his 37-year career, amidst ups and downs. Besides being the ultimate masterpiece of a Pino Daniele in perfect form, it is also that of the supergroup that accompanied him at the time. Simply spectacular; a record like this happens only once in a lifetime. I'll stop here because everything has already been said about this album, but if it were up to me, I'd talk about it for hours...
Overall rating 10 (with honors)

Number 2: "Pino Daniele" (1979)
Two years after his inspired but still immature debut album, here comes the album that definitively crowns Pino's artistic career. He begins his conversion to Neapolitan rock-fusion, or "Taramblù". This album has a completely different depth compared to its predecessor, not only in terms of sounds but also in the "quality" of the tracks—it's just a whole different level. An absolute masterpiece in every respect, skillfully played and filled to the brim with masterpieces. Not to be missed is the splendid live version of the linked piece, featuring the stunning Gato Barbieri on saxophone.
Overall rating: 10

3rd: THE WOLVES
A year after Ballata per 4 stagioni, a musically excellent album but with pieces not yet fully embodying Ivan's style, comes a legendary album that is nothing less than a bomb containing all the qualities of Ivan Graziani. Assisted by his colleague and friend Antonello Venditti, Ivan pulls out of the hat a gritty record focused more on virtuosic guitar arpeggios. The task of welcoming the listener falls to the title track, which already reveals the intentions of the work: a penetrating and airy guitar riff sets the backdrop for a story of war, where the wolves mentioned are simply soldiers headed to the battlefield, and in the chorus it opens up, making the singing violent and the guitars more rock and tough. After such an opening, another hard and raw track titled Motocross immediately follows: the classic dark and magical story of a boy (perhaps Ivan himself) envied for his bike, who falls in love with a girl who, in the end, will steal his vehicle with two other shady figures, all seasoned with a rock and driving arrangement that catapults the listener alongside our protagonist... he doesn't sound at all like the author of the previous year. The substance remains intact but the writing style has completely changed. The rest of the album stays on the tracks of the first two songs but simultaneously takes continuous deviations: Ninna nanna dell'uomo is indeed a unique track in Ivan's discography, both because it is sung in Abruzzese dialect and for the arrangement that skillfully combines piano and guitar in a way that won't happen frequently. But also Lugano addio, the only ballad in the entire album on which I don't intend to dwell excessively since more or less everything has been said about this track. I prefer instead to mention Eva, a story of a prostitute narrated with lyrics whose style bears similarities to that of Venditti, or Il topo nel formaggio, a simple invitation not to settle but to gnaw at all that is good, or even Il soldo, which, while being less focused than the previous two, tells the tale of life with Ivan's usual flair. In short, we could go on until nightfall, I Lupi is Ivan Graziani's first masterpiece, an album that, with its stories of everyday life and its raw and intense arrangements, makes it a timeless work, completely detached from the singer-songwriter model that was popular at that time.

The gem:
