Riding On A Train / 6. Give A Little Peace / 7. Tribute (Right On) / 8. I Really Miss You / 9. Justice For The World / 10. Something Else / 11. Tribute (Right On) - (The Q Street Mix) / 12. Riding On A Train (Extended Version) / 13. Enchanted Lady (Extended Version)
1988年の１枚目。UKブラックの括りですが、双子の Milliner 兄弟は Pasadena, California 生まれ。明るく爽やかなはずです。
革ジャン着てます。Tribute の歌詞にも Rock And Roll And Soul とありますし、登場も Little Richard、Elvis、Sam Cooke、Jackie Wilson．．．という順番です。これはこれでありでしょう。

Set The Record Straight / 21. You Brought The Sun Back Into My Life
2001(2003?)年発売の編集モノ。グループの成り立ちから見るとノーザンだと思うんですが、はたして Hi の水はベストマッチだったのでしょうか。
この３人に Dan Greer と Willie Mitchell ならもっともっと成果が上がっててもよかったような気がします。マネージメントまで含めて船頭が多すぎたのかもしれません。
今日聞いた１枚 UNLEASH THE DRAGON / SISQO UICD-6002 (2000 Victor Entertainment Japan) 1. Unleash The Dragon [featuring Beanie Sigel] / 2. Got To Get It [featuring Make It Hot] / 3.

You Ain't Right / 12. Ain't No Love / 13. One Day / 14. I'd Rather Be Wrong / 15. All Of Me / 16. The End (Outro)
2001年作品。Syl Johnson の娘さんの１枚目。
個性的な声してますね。それでもお経ソングをこれだけ並べられてはグッタリです。ほとんどの曲が彼女とプロデューサーの Bob Power の手によるものですが、２枚目以後もこの組み合わせなら、もうご縁はないでしょう。
今日聞いた１枚 STEPHEN STILLS / STEPHEN STILLS 7567-82809-2 (? Atlantic EU) 1. Love The One You're With / 2. Do For The Others / 3. Church (Part Of Someone) / 4. Old Times Good Times / 5. Go Back Home / 6. Sit Yourself Down / 7. To A Flame / 8. Black Queen / 9. Cherokee / 10. We Are Not Helpless

Woman Lleva / 8. Lowdown / 9. Not Fade Away / 10. Can't Get No Booty
1975年の Stills、1976年 Illegal Stills、1978年 Thoroughfare Gap の 3on2、Digitally Re-mastered。さほど評判の芳しくない時期の３枚だけに、このセットは商売上手なんだかどうだか微妙なところです。
これだけのボリュームも、Stills らしいバラエティに富んでいる曲調と、Neil Young 作を始めとするカバー曲で冗長さは感じさせません。それに Stills-Dacus Band と言ってもよさそうな Illegal Stills、なかでも Donnie Dacus のヴォーカルが、このセットの中ではちょうどいい箸休めになっています。
今日聞いた１枚 Electric Warrior / T. REX 20CP-11 (1989 Teichiku Records Japan) 1. Mambo Sun / 2. Cosmic Dancer / 3. Jeepster / 4. Monolith / 5. Lean Woman Blues / 6. Get It On / 7. Planet Queen / 8. Girl / 9. The Motivator / 10. Life's A Gas / 11. Rip Off
1971年作品。最近 Marc Bolan TV Show のお粗末な口パクにガッカリしたばかりだったんですが、それは1977年。飛ぶ鳥を落とす勢いのこの時期では比べ物になりません。
各パートの微妙さが絶妙なバランスを見せます。一聴してのキャッチーな部分と、聴けば聴くほど癖になる部分の両面をあわせもった独特のグルーヴが堪りません。言われるように Tony Visconti の手腕なんでしょうかね。

The One That Got Away / 10. Small Change (Got Rained On With His Own) / 11. I Can't Wait To Get Off Work (And See My Baby On Montogomery Avenue)
1976年の４枚目。ヨーロッパツアーを成功裏に終えた御仁に、いつまでも「裏通り」を求める方がおかしいのはわかってるのですが、ジャケ写とは裏腹に目線を上に向けた野心作に思えてしょうがありません。As Time Goes By で挟むあたりにセンスの良さと同時に胡散臭さも感じてしまいます。

1985年作品。前作の「ちょっとやり過ぎ」の「ちょっと」を控えたので、「ちょっと」は万人向きの一枚に仕上がったのではないでしょうか。それに Keith Richards という目玉は願ったり叶ったりでした。
で、ふと周りを見ると案外 Ry Cooder とご近所さんだったりして。行き付けの場所は違うんでしょうがね。

2002年発売の編集モノ。20数年に渡るご活躍ですから、２枚組みのボリュームも当然なのでしょうか。ただ、チャート的には２枚目はかなり淋しくなってしまいます。３枚目はライヴ盤 Absolutely Live (1993)、Livefields (1999)からの収録です。
今日聞いた１枚 a distant shore / tracey thorn cd mred 35 (1987 Cherry Red Records England) 1. small town girl / 2. simply couldn't care / 3. seascape / 4. femme fatale / 5. dreamy / 6. plain sailing / 7. new opened eyes / 8. too happy
1982年作品。シンプルなツクリが沁みます。
Ben Watt の North Marine Drive と比べると弱いものの、ミニアルバムとしては充分アリでしょう。ただフルアルバム並みの値段はちとキツいのでは？
