Charlie Feathers help to make it a true party. With all of these artists, paying the rent will never be a problem again. . . Lee Small of the UK poses on the cover of his new album standing in front of the old Capricorn Records offices in Macon, Georgia. That com- bined with the album title Southern Wind (Soulsville) is somewhat misleading. One would expect southern rock to blare from the speakers. Instead, we get a band the is strongly reminiscent of Boston, especially with Small’s vocals, which bear an uncanny resem- blance to the late great Brad Delp. The album is filled with outstanding melodic rock and tight vocal harmonies. Many will remember Lee as the singer for the Eng- lish band Shy, a gig he landed through associa- tions he made as a member of the band Budgie. Small’s album is filled with well written, melodic, arena rock sounds that should appeal to fans of Boston, Journey, REO Speedwagon and Styx. An ex- cellent singer and a very fine album. . . Here’s one for all of the old Capricorn fans, a new
compilation from the mighty Eric Quincy Tate, assembled with love by bassist David Cantonwine. Light is a kind of career retro- spective of then”lighter” side of the band that includes tracks from their Paul Hornsby pro- duced Drinking Man’s Friend (“Can’t Get Home for Your Party,” “Whiskey Women Blues,” and “Suzie B, Dunn”), along with tracks from their first EQT album (“I Want ‘Cha,”“Makes No Difference”) and hot tracks like “Blowing the Clouds Away” from 1969 and a previously unreleased live recording of “Misty” (yes, that Misty- the crooner pop tune with outstanding piano work). The band, made up of Cantonwine with Tommy Carlisle, Don- nie McCormick, Joe Rogers and Wayne “Bear” Sauls should have been huge. They were overshadowed by the Allman Brothers and never really got the promotion they deserved.
Still, their body of work speaks for itself, and this “sampler” is a great introduction if you don’t know them, and a fine addition to your collection if you are one of us old
