CD PICKS - OCTOBER 2019 Creedence Clearwater Revival – Live at Woodstock (Fantasy)
John Fogerty (vocals, guitar), Tom Fogerty (guitar), Stu Cook (keyboards, bass) and Doug Clifford (drums) formed a group together called The Blue Velvets in 1959 whilst all attending El Cerrito High School in California. They recorded as The Golliwogs for Fantasy Records In 1964. Changing their name to Creedence Clearwater Revival, they got their first hit on the American charts in 1968 with a cover version of Dale Hawkins’ Suzie Q. More huge hits followed, including: Proud Mary (a song the Bev Bevan Band play on Jasper Carrott’s Stand Up And Rock shows); Bad Moon Rising; Green River; Down On The Corner; Travellin’ Band; Up Around The Bend; Lookin’ Out My Back Door; Have You Ever Seen The Rain; Sweet Hitch Hiker. CCR topped the UK charts in the summer of 1969 with Bad Moon Rising.
This long awaited live album catches the band at their peak, playing the legendary Woodstock Festival in the early hours of August 17th 1969. This CD captures the 11 songs that they performed those 50 years ago: Born On The Bayou; Green River; Ninety Nine And A Half Won’t Do; Bootleg; Commotion; Bad Moon Rising; Proud Mary; I Put A Spell On You; The Night Time Is The Right Time; the 10 minute long penultimate song, Keep On Chooglin’; and the 11 minute long set closer, Suzie Q.
Leo Sayer – Selfie (Edsel)
Gerard Hugh Sayer was born on May 21st 1948 in Shoreham-On-Sea in Sussex; he studied at Worthing Art College and then moved to London to work as a magazine illustrator.
114
In 1972 he began writing songs with Dave Courtney and they signed a management deal with Adam Faith (it was Adam Faith’s wife Jackie who nicknamed him Leo after his thick mane of curly hair). In 1973 they got their first hit when The Who’s Roger Daltry made the UK top five with Giving It All Away.
Leo Sayer got signed to Chrysalis Records and The Show Must Go On was a massive debut hit in 1974. A string of further successes followed including: One Man Band; Long Tall Glasses; Moonlighting; You Make Me Feel Like Dancing; How Much Love; I Can’t Stop Loving You; More Than I Can Say; and the chart topping When I Need You. Both You Make Me Feel Like Dancing and When I Need You topped the American charts in 1977.
This brand new Leo Sayer album is titled Selfie because it is produced, performed, recorded and arranged by Leo Sayer, at his home in Australia. He also wrote or co-wrote 14 of the 15 songs. The only one not written by him is the album closer, Don’t Leave Me, which was composed by Chiara Hunter.
Diana Rein – Queen of My Castle (Gulf Coast)
Diana Rein’s love of blues music began at eight years old when her parents took her to a Chicago Blues Club, arranging for her to perform some songs with the band playing there that night. This was a defining moment and a new blues artist was born. Over the years her music heroes have in- cluded Prince, SRV, Philip Sayce, Buddy Guy and Stevie Ray Vaughan.
Today home is southern California. Diana has now signed to America’s Gulf Coast Records and this is a debut album of all original songs written by her with her singing and playing guitar. Queen of My Castle is fast paced, with Diana Rein and her band never letting up on the gas.
The economically titled tracks are: Yes I Sing The Blues; The Midnight Line; I Can’t Quit You; One Foot In; Walking Along; Pure Soul; It’s You; My Love; Get Down; Chill Of The Night; Worth; Time’s Ticking Away; Heat; Zoe; and title track Queen Of My Castle.
