I remember a friend once asking me to listen to a Uriah Heep album about 30 years ago. I listened to one song, didnt like it, and never thought about it ever again.

Was doing a bit of a journey thru rock history, reading up on bands etc, got to reading about Uriah Heep, and their original frontman David Byron, and how unfortunately he was a forgotten man of rock, one of the greatest singers ever, who never got his due, etc etc.

So i downloaded their entire discography and gonna give it a listen. I am sure there is gonna be an album i fall in love with and proclaim better than anything Led Zeppelin ever released.....but all i know so far is the album SALISBURY, and what a beast of a song High Priestess is.

If i was an influential muso, I would so do a cover of that song right now and try to make Uriah Heep popular again.

Check out High Priestess from inside the playlist ....

In 1973 I was going into JB HiFi's first store in Bourke St. At the same time I met a good friend who I hadn't seen for some time. After a bit of a chat he recommended an album and I recommended an album to him. We both had a listen to the albums and purchased them.
I was really glad I met him because I brought one of my all time favourite albums. "Brothers and Sisters" by the Allman Brothers. Gregg Allman and Dicky Betts on guitars and Chuck Leavell on piano, just magic to the ears. I haven't stopped listening to it since then, but I did buy the CD. My friend got the album I recommended, "Dark Side Of The Moon". I haven't seen Bruce for a very long time now, but I won't forget our very fortunate meeting.
If you haven't heard "Brothers and Sisters" before, you should have a listen, you won't be disappointed.

My sister gave me this album and I immediately fell in love with it. Every track is a standout. Rickie Lee is not only a wonderful singer, she is a great song writer as well. Her lyrics paint pictures in your mind. Listen to "Last Chance Texaco", you will think you know what she's singing about only to discover a little while later it's a completely different subject. "Easy Money". What a simple, great story.
She was in a relationship with Tom Waits for quite a while. Waits has said, "I was a bit scared of her because she was so wild and such a good lyricist". Sounds like they would have been a good match for each other.
She also wrote Daryl Braithwaite's song "The Horses".
A wonderful album with wonderful lyrics and a really musical album with a slighty jazzy feel. Her very first album and simply amazing. I've bought all her albums since, but this one really stands out.


Last Chance Texaco

My mind is blown at how much I love Uriah Heep so far.

Still slow going thru all their albums as I like to listen to an album on repeat for a hundred times before moving on to the next.

I initially did a quick go thru the David Byron albums, and a few John Lawton albums, but haven't ventured further than that. Decided to go back and do an album at a time x100 repeat.

But when I did that quick go thru, my initial reaction was they had a very unique brilliance early on, a fusion of funk, metal, 60s, soul, etc, that just sounds so fresh and different from all of their contemporary UK bands like Sabbath, Zep, Deep Purple, Slade, T-Rex, etc. The first four or five Byron albums were the epitome of that unique defining sound. Then they started to gradually lose sight of that, becoming more straight up metal/rock, where an album has maybe 1-3 songs on it that stand out. Whereas their first four or five Byron albums were all killer tracks with that special defining sound.

So, their second album Look At Yourself (1971)....yep, you guessed it....was only a matter of time....better than anything Led Zeppelin ever released.

This deluxe edition too, because it has some extra outtake songs that are also brilliant.

Slightly retro suggestion.
The Saints, Imperious Delerium, 2006.
Quite loud and boisterous guitars with great lyrics and the singer here at his peak.

 

[CliffMcTainshaw]

I bought this album at an op shop for $1. What a bargain.
Sophie. B. Hawkins "Tongues and Tails."
Wonderful singer and I just love Mark Egan's bass playing on this album.

Temple of the Dog
Absolute classic jam from Chris Cornell and members of Pearl Jam before they got huge.
Album was a tribute to Andrew Wood, the lead singer of Mother Love Bone, who had OD’d on heroin.
A brilliant album full of absolutely awesome vocals from Chris Cornell and a few from Eddie Vedder, as well as superb musicianship.
A forgotten classic!

 

[No eye deer]

Such a great songwriter.
Couldn't find a link to the whole album, search it out, it’s great!

Tears for Fears - The Seeds Of Love
I heard a track from this album one Saturday morning while doing the dishes and listening to my little Sony Walkman radio. I was astounded by the track, finished the last dish, got in the car and drove to JB and bought the album. I listened and listened and listened to it over and over. One of my all time favourite albums, every track is a beauty.
The song I heard: Woman in Chains and my introduction to the wonderful voice of Oleta Adams.

It may have been released in 1972, but is an absolute classic that hasn't aged - Seventh Sojourn by the Moody Blues. Sublime vocals, and exquisite guitar work. If only they made music like this still!



"Despite the presence of a pair of ballads -- one of them ("New Horizons") by Justin Hayward the latter's most romantic number since "Nights in White Satin" -- Seventh Sojourn was notable at the time of its release for showing the hardest-rocking sound this band had ever produced on record. It's all relative, of course, compared to their prior work, but the music is comparatively stripped down here, and on a lot of it Graeme Edge's drumming and John Lodge's bass work comprise a more forceful and assertive rhythm section than they had on earlier records, on numbers such as "Lost in a Lost World," "You and Me," and "I'm Just a Singer (In a Rock & Roll Band)." The latter, authored by Lodge, was -- along with Lodge's "Isn't Life Strange" -- one of two AM radio hits that helped drive the sales of this album, issued in early November of 1972, past all previous levels. Indeed, it was with the release of this album that the Moodies achieved their great commercial success in America and around the world, with a "Grand Tour" that kept them on the road for much of the year that followed. The irony was that it was all about to end for them, for years to come, and the signs of it were all over this record -- Seventh Sojourn took a long time to record, and a lot of the early work on it had to be junked ("Isn't Life Strange" was one of the few early songs to get completed); it was clear to all concerned except the fans that, after six years of hard work in their present configuration, they all needed to stop working with each other for a time, and this was clear in the songs -- many have a downbeat, pensive edge to them, and if they reflected a questioning attitude that had come out on recent albums, the tone of the questioning on songs like "Lost in a Lost World," "You and Me," and "When You're a Free Man" had a darker, more desperate tone. Perhaps the group's mostly youthful, collegiate audience didn't notice at the time because it fit the mood of the times -- the album hit the stores in America the day before Richard Nixon's landslide presidential re-election victory (the culmination of events behind the scenes that would subsequently drive him from office). But the members were not working well together, and this would be the last wholly successful record -- difficult as it was to deliver -- that this lineup of the band would record, as well as the last new work by the group for over five years. And oddly enough, even amid the difficulties in getting it finished, Seventh Sojourn would offer something new in the way of sounds from the group -- Michael Pinder, in particular, introduced a successor to the Mellotron, with which he'd been amazing audiences for six years, in the form of the Chamberlin, which is all over this album."

This album is 50 years old this year.
They Only Come Out At Night - Edgar Winter Band
Johnny's little brother, but he doesn't sound anything like Johnny.

Every song is a ripper. Edgard's singing is superb. One of the best voices you will ever hear. Full album here. If you haven't heard it before give it a listen.

 

[CliffMcTainshaw]

This is from Donny Hathaway Live, in my opinion the greatest live album ever recorded. A wonderful voice, a great keyboard player and a tragically short life. Willie Weeks on bass.
