BEV BEVAN'S CD PICKS MARCH 2018 FAB FOUR


Kenny Loggins – Alive (Floating World)


Kenny Loggins was a successful singer /songwriter when he hooked up with former Buffalo Springfield bass player Jim Messina in 1971. Loggins and Messina went on to become a very popular duo, scoring hit singles and hit albums until their split in the mid-seventies. After that Loggins consolidated his USA standing with a string of top-selling solo albums. He also won a Grammy for that brilliant song What A Fool Believes, co-written with Michael McDonald, a worldwide hit for the Doobie Brothers. This in-concert album predates his biggest hit single Footloose, but does include his own version of What A Fool Believes and I Believe In Love. Back in the 1980’s, when I was with ELO, we did a show together with Kenny at Disneyland in California.


Blood Sweat & Tears – In Concert (Floating World)


Blood Sweat & Tears were originally formed by Al Kooper in the late sixties, but he only remained with the band for a few months. Soon after they went on to become one of the top-selling and most popular groups of the seventies with hits such as Spinning Wheel and You’ve Made Me So Very Happy. This live album was recorded in 1975 and as well as featuring the distinctive lead vocals of David Clayton-Thomas, also shows off the excellent musicianship of the whole band , particularly on the very jazzy instrumental solo .


Mitch Woods – Friends Along The Way (Entertainment One)


Growing up in Brooklyn, Mitch Woods studied jazz and classical styles, but following his move to San Francisco in 1970, he became enamoured with the area’s jump blues and R&B scene. With his band The Rocket 88’s, he has helped revive and breathe new life into the jump jive blues approach of the forties and fifties.


On Friends Along The Way, his eleventh album, Mitch Woods is joined by an impressive list of musicians and vocalists, all friends and colleagues he has got to know during a four-decade career.


Amongst the 16 tracks, you’ll find C C Rider, featuring Van Morrison and Taj Mahal; Keep A Dollar In Your Pocket with Elvin Bishop; Empty Bed Blues with Maria Muldaur; The Blues featuring Cyril Neville; Blues Gave Me A Ride with Charlie Musselwhite; and Never Get Out Of These Blues Alive with John Lee Hooker .


Teen Beat – Volume 6 (Ace)


A much-anticipated new collection of rocking instrumentals from the late-fifties and early-sixties, the Golden Age of American rock’n’roll. So after an 18-year hiatus, a new volume of the Ace label’s much-loved Teen Beat series is finally here. Tracks include: (maybe the best rock’n’roll instrumental of all time?) Peter Gunn by Duane Eddy & the Rebels; Reveille Rock by Johnny and the Hurricanes; Flying High by Bobby Vee and the (American) Shadows; Theme from Come September by Bobby Darin and his Orchestra; Drum Shack by Sandy Nelson; The 2000 Pound Bee by the Ventures; Chet Atkins’ version of One Mint Julep; Jorgen Ingmann’s take on Apache; and the Astronauts’ adaptation of A Big Hunk O’ Love. Great nostalgia!
