1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die - 150. Nick Drake - Five Leaves Left (1969)

150. Nick Drake - Five Leaves Left (1969)
Label – Hannibal
Producer – Joe Boyd
Art Direction – Cally
Nationality – UK
Running Time – 41:41

Track Listing (standout tracks listed in bold)

1. Time Has Told Me
2. River Man
3. Three Hours
4. Day Is Done
5. Way To Blue
6. Cello Song
7. Thoughts Of Mary Jane
8. Man In A Shed
9. Fruit Tree
10. Saturday Sun

The story behind this record was sadly more interesting than the record itself. “Five Leaves Left” was the first of only three albums recorded by British folk musician Nick Drake. For musical backing Drake was accompanied by members of the folk Fairport Convention and Pentangle. Even with the folk credentials, this record failed miserably when it was released.
To me, the record was ok – but nothing exciting, and mid way through I was actually quite bored with it. . Understatement is the key to his songs, and his vocals have a weariness about them and grew tiresome as well.
The album was poorly marketed and supported when it was released. Reviews were few and lukewarm. It sold very poorly – only 5000 copies or so. In fact, none of the three albums he recorded sold more than 5,000 copies on their initial release. Drake's work has gradually achieved wider notice and recognition and he now ranks among the most influential English singer-songwriters of the last 50 years. “Cello Song” from this record was used in a car commercial in the late 90’s, and consequently Nick Drake sold more records in a few weeks then he had in the previous 30 years!
Five Leaves Left was ranked 85th in a 2005 survey held by British television's Channel 4 to determine the 100 greatest albums of all time. In 2003, the album was ranked number 283 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. NME ranked #74 in NME's list of the 'Greatest Albums Of All Time.' Q Magazine ranked it one of the best Folk Albums of All Time.
I do not however recommend it.

This Week's THE ROCK SHOW

1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die - 149. Rolling Stones - Let It Bleed (1969)

149. Rolling Stones - Let It Bleed (1969)
Label – Decca
Producer – Jimmy Miller
Art Direction – Robert Brownjohn and Victor Kahn
Nationality – UK
Running Time – 43:26

Track Listing (standout tracks listed in bold)

1. Gimme Shelter
2. Love In Vain
3. Country Honk
4. Live With Me
5. Let It Bleed
6. Midnight Rambler
7. You Got The Silver
8. Monkey Man
9. You Can’t Always Get What You Want

This is an awesome record. “Let It Bleed”, is the eighth studio record by The Rolling Stones, and recorded and released while the band was in transition from Brian Jones (he plays on 2 tracks, autoharp on "You Got the Silver" and percussion on "Midnight Rambler" – and died several months before its release) to replacement guitarist Mick Taylor (who also plays on just two songs, "Country Honk" and "Live With Me"). It has a great sound and a great vibe about it. It’s dark, slightly demonic, rocking, sexual. It’s the Rolling Stones in the midst of their most creative peak.
The album contains many songs that rank among their very best. “Gimme Shelter," (with that “shimmering” guitar line) “Midnight Rambler" (has the harmonica EVER been used better in rock and roll?) and the stunning "You Can't Always Get What You Want," (complete with horns and the children’s choir!), the record is like a greatest hits. Some tracks that were not hits such as "You Got the Silver" (Keith Richards' first solo lead vocal – he had shared vocal duties with Mick Jagger on "Connection", "Something Happened to Me Yesterday", and "Salt of the Earth") and the cover of Robert Johnson's "Love in Vain," are just as good! Acoustic down-home blues. Just fantastic.
It’s not all as great. There is some filler. "Monkey Man" and a countrified remake of "Honky Tonk Woman" titled "Country Honk" are forgettable.
The album has been called “a great summing up of the dark underbelly of the 1960s” and is the second of the Stones' run of four studio LPs that are generally regarded as among their greatest achievements artistically. (The other three albums are Beggars Banquet (1968), Sticky Fingers (1971), and Exile on Main Street (1972). Released in December, it reached #1 in the UK and #3 in the US, where it eventually went double platinum. In 1998 Q magazine readers voted it 69th greatest album of all time, while in 2000 the same magazine placed it at #28 in its list of the 100 Greatest British Albums Ever. In 2001, the TV network VH1 placed it at #24 on their best album survey. In 2003, it was listed as #32 on the List of Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. Even the cover is iconic, and was among the ten chosen by the Royal Mail for a set of "Classic Album Cover" postage stamps issued in January 2010.
It is HIGHLY recommended.

3. Springtime Promises

5. Train Song
6. Hunting Song
7. Sally Go Round The Roses
8. Cuckoo
9. House Carpenter

Here is one of those bands that I had never heard of before, so didn’t know what to expect when I began playing, which can be exciting. Turns out they do traditional folk music. Not very exciting. Also there was actually very little to be found on the internet about this record.
Upon release this record did reach the Top Five in the U.K. largely on the basis of the single "Light Flight" (which made it to a respectable #43 in the charts) which was being used at the time as the theme from BBC1's first color drama series “Take Three Girls”.
It’s just not my kind of music, and I did not enjoy listening to this record one bit. No doubt these folks are talented and masters of their respective instruments, and if you like traditional folk music, you might wanna give it a listen, I however do NOT recommend this record.

“Odessa” is the Bee Gees seventh album, and their first released as a double LP. What an interesting listen. Those looking for the 1970’s disco Bee Gees need to look elsewhere, this is the 1960’s rock Bee Gees.
By 1968 when recording commenced, the Bee Gee’s had already been a group for almost 6 years and the cracks began to show within the group. Brother Robin felt that manager and producer Robert Stigwood had begun to favour Brother Barry as the ‘frontman’ of the group, and when the record was finally completed, Stigwood chose a Barry track as the lead single (“First of May”) as opposed to the Robin led "Lamplight". This was the final straw which led to Robin Gibb leaving the group in late 1968 before the lp was released. (He would of course rejoin the group several years later).
Initially the idea was to record a concept record based on the mythical loss of HMS Veronica in 1899. Working with the title of “Masterpeace” and then “The American Opera” it eventually evolved into the double-album “Odessa”. While a few tracks retain the initial concept (such as “Edison” and the title track) most racks have little if anything to do with the concept and the record does not tell any story of any kind.
Many critics felt this was the best Bee Gees record of the 60’s, and it’s a fine record with its rocking title track, the country-flavored "Marley Purt Drive" and "Give Your Best", plus some ballads such as "Melody Fair" and "First Of May" which was the only single from the album. (It was a minor hit.) The group members disagree (mostly for personal reasons I would assume) and have called the record a ‘disaster’ and ‘over-bloated’ with three heavily orchestrated instrumentals, (it was later reissued in 1976 as an edited single-disc album) and was a record their manager and the record label wanted them to do, rather then the record they would have liked to made. In fact, as the seventh album in four years – Barry Gibb stated the band actually would have preferred to just take a break – which they did for a year and a half after recording “Odessa”.
The album was originally packaged in a red flocked felt cover with gold lettering on front and back and an elaborate background painting for the gatefold interior. Due to the high cost of production, as well as allergic reactions among workers during assembly, this design was discontinued.
It is recommended.

1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die - 146. Miles Davis - In A Silent Way (1969)

Miles Davis - In A Silent Way (1969)
Label – Columbia
Producer – Teo Macero
Art Direction – Uncredited
Nationality – USA
Running Time – 37:55

Track Listing (standout tracks listed in bold)

1. Shhh/Peaceful
2. In A Silent Way/It's About That Time

Anyone who follows my reviews knows, I’m not a very big jazz music fan, and every jazz record I’ve reviewed I had never heard before. That said – this is the third Miles Davis record in the 1001 list, and after really enjoying the first two I was actually looking forward to this one. Maybe that’s where I went wrong.
This recording sounded to me very disjointed, unfocused and at times almost unbearable to listen to. It ended up being one of those records where I’m thinking man I wish this one would end. Never a good sign. I always read up on the record I’m listening to, as I like to see who played on them, get little tidbits to share here, and to find out chart performances, etc. This time out it helped me understand just WHY the recording seemed disjointed and unfocused. “In A Silent Way” was actually one long recording session (February 18, 1969) and then producer Teo Macero, selected certain bits at random to produce the album! It shows. There is no melodies to follow, not even a melodic frame. There are only vamps and extended meandering solos, with the grooves layered on top of one another in disconnected passages. Gone are the smooth sounds of “Birth of Cool” that’s for sure.
For those interested, In 2001 the complete sessions were eventually released. The recording began Miles Davis’ "electric"period, and “In a Silent Way” has been regarded by many as Davis's first fusion recording. When released critics didn’t know what to make of it, but time has treated it well as now it is regarded as one of Davis's greatest and most influential works. I would disagree. I don’t claim to know jazz – but I know what I like and this is not it.
It is not recommended.

Mini Reviews of Several Recent Releases

BACHMAN & TURNER - B&T
2010’s Bachman & Turner marks their first recorded collaboration in two decades, yet it could have been released over 20 years ago, so faithful it is to the meat-and-potatoes hard rock recipe they first wrote when with BTO. They made it like they did in the old days and it’s for an audience that yearns for real rock made on real instruments. It’s big, noisy straight ahead rock & roll, ready for the taking. Download: Moonlight Rider; Can’t Go Back To Memphis









HEART – RED VELVET CAR
Red Velvet Car, Heart’s first album since 2004’s Jupiter’s Darling, is music with no seeming commercial aspirations, music that is connected to the past but doesn’t strive to replicate it. Ann’s voice doesn’t reach the same heights -- but they embrace their age, a move that gives their excursions into folk and the record has a meditative mood with textured, acoustic-laden arrangements and miniature epics, all elements that hearken back to Heart’s golden age yet wind up feeling right in line with their vibe in 2010. Download: Hey You; WTF; Queen City







ROBERT PLANT – BAND OF JOY
Band of Joy was the name of Robert Plant’s Black Country psychedelic folk group of the late ‘60s and his revival of its name and spirit in 2010 is of no small significance. It’s an outgrowth of Raising Sand, Plant’s bland duet album with Alison Krauss. Assisted by co-producer Buddy Miller and a band highlighted by harmonist Patty Griffin, Plant finds fiercely original music with covers of Low, Richard & Linda Thompson and Los Lobos. Band of Joy is bold and messy, teeming with life to its very core. It’s as a joyous a record as you’ll ever hear, a testament that the power of music lies not in its writing but in its performance. Download: Silver Rider; You Can’t Buy My Love

“Tommy” is the fourth album by the English rock band The Who, and it was a double album telling a VERY loose story about a "deaf, dumb, and blind boy" who eventually becomes the leader of a religious movement and becomes the messiah. Simple enough right? This was also the first record be touted as a “rock opera” and is still considered by many to be Pete Townshend’s masterpiece.
I do however have my reservations about the record. True – as a whole it is an astonishing work, and certainly in 1969 when it was released to the world, nothing like it had ever been heard before – and for that alone it deserves it’s lofty status in rock and roll history. True – the record has some fantastic tracks including "I'm Free," "Pinball Wizard," "Sally Simpson," "Pinball Wizard," and "We're Not Gonna Take It," but for the most part, the record is bogged down with filler tracks that exist merely to advance the story line. A story line that isn’t the greatest to begin with. There are also several instrumentals which while some are good (particularly the dramatic 10 minute epic “Underture ) do nothing to tell the story of Tommy.
The record upon it’s release was hailed as a breakthrough, but it’s critical standing has diminished somewhat in the passing decades mainly from the shortcomings I mentioned above, but also because of some of Townshend’s other works that have followed and greatly surpassed this one. Still this stepping stone was needed and deserves it place in history.
In 1998 it was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame for "historical, artistic and significant" value. It has sold over 20 million copies worldwide. In 2003, the album was ranked number 96 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. The album was ranked number 90 on VH1's 100 Greatest Albums of Rock & Roll. NME named it the 16th on "NME Writers All Time Top 100" in 1974.Q ranked it 9th on their list of "The Music That Changed The World: Part One 1954-1969" in 2004
It is recommended.
