Whether you know it or not, Colin Hay never quit making music
and has been at it since the break up of Men At Work. I happen
to run across his latest Gathering Mercury the other day. One of
the most recognizable voices and style in the business, it
hasn't changed one bit.
Unfortunately, most of this album is solo stuff, very slow,
almost folksy. After about the 5th song, they all sounded
exactly the same. Oh well, thought I'd give it a go.
I'm reading his concerts on the other hand are a blast. He's
quite funny and tells stories between song.

Admittedly I am a fan on the side. I recognize Grimm�s talent
especially with his gravelly voice singing soul and the blues. I
enjoyed his first album and he sang the songs that best capture
those talents he can deliver. This release however was a major
disappointment. Several times I had to check to make sure it was
Grimm who was singing. He voice was so slickly produced; it
seems to lose its rawness. Many of the songs like anyone else
could sing it. I�ve got to pass on this one and hope he regains
that direction that got him into the public's ears.

Journey - Eclipse

Love, love, love Journey... of the past. Even the early years
pre-Steve Perry.
The latest evolution of Journey consists of a youtube phenom
Arnel Pineda, who does a damn good imitation of Steve Perry. The
problem for me is Journey has set the bar so high and
comparisons will be made. And I do compare. Arnel Pineda is
good, but not great. With the slick production, it is even more
apparent how Perry is missed. The songs written are more rock
with emphasis on guitar. Very little keyboard work is present.
This makes for a different sounding Journey. None of it is bad.
Again, most every song is better than most crap put out today...
but still I expect at least one song to grab me... that does not
happen

Bad Co - Live At Wembley
[IMG]
HTML http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i266/Chiprocks1/Star%20Ratings/HTL_03star.gif[/img]
Never tire of hearing a Bad Co. song come on the radio. They
have grabbed the basic rock and blues soul of music and together
with one of the best voices evah, Paul Rodgers, they have
created a range of hits through the years that a joy to hear.
The boys decided upon a reunion and we have here a capture of
one of those nights. I�d like to watch the DVD of this sometime,
but for now, just the music is fine. The recording is a little
muddy, or so it seems. Maybe because I�m very use to the studio
recordings. The keyboards I thought were missing, but actually
they are muted to wall of sound vs standing out. I then have to
ask myself, do I really want the studio sound reproduced here?
Probably not. I�ll give it a few more listens and open my ears
up a tad bit more.
