Horn Band and More
Writing this blog is, at the very least, a musical
education. I have recently purchased two reasonably rare and interesting vinyl
lps on the back of listening to new-to-me cds of bands from the 60s/70s, and
will be mentioning/reviewing these at a later date.
Having written about Genya Ravan and, in the process,
listened to everything I have of hers – which is most – I discovered this
unknown album and managed to get a download copy yesterday from amazon.co for
just over £7 [not an advertisement, but I do find them a good source, even if it
is for used vinyl copies from other sellers advertising on their site]. It’s
another great testament to her vocal brilliance. It is certainly more varied
than work with Ten Wheel Drive, but then so is her other solo work.
I’m not going to detail the songs this time around. Suffice
to say there is ‘horn band’ stuff, ballads, a popish tune or two, a great tease
in the 45 seconds of You Got The Blues
[wow, that would have been a great, full track!], and all the time Ravan’s
impeccable voice. For an excellent review of the album, check out http://www.allmusic.com/album/they-love-me-they-love-me-not-r47614/review
