…First Love)’ in 1976, there lay a musician whose full-on career in music can barely be crammed into a Wikipedia page. Born and bred in England’s north east, Miles paid his dues in local bands before going solo. Despite the fact that the heat of fame generated by that hit single eventually dissipated, Miles went on to enjoy a lifetime career as a musical artist, recording 8 albums – the most recent 3 are celebrated in this boxset collection.

Album review : SON OF MAN – Gaslight

…g ‘Stuck’ ) which references Pink Floyd on a strummed acoustic before exploding into life on a heavy duty Jimmy Page style riff. It then reaches for the kind of a harmony rich hook which is a template for the album as a whole. For example, the opening riff to ‘Stuck’ could be AC/DC, but it quickly morphs into a recognisable Son Of Man track because of the harmonies. The title track leans on a sludgy Zeppelin style riff, but with doctored vocals,… Continue reading →

…ginal opinion in places. Hindsight is a fine thing and demonstrates the “permanence” of the printed page and the need for accuracy versus online material which can easily be amended. ***1/2 With the passing of David Crosby in 2023 we can take a fresh look at his early band The Byrds with Andy McArthur. The band’s jangly, commercial psychedelic pop gave way to country/roots rock and influenced many US bands in the 1970s (and beyo… Continue reading →

Given the scope of the book, a context setting 10-page summary and another 10-page postscript that bookend the decade in question feels appropriate. The main body addresses the nine albums released during the period via a chapter on each year. This was undoubtedly the band’s most prolific and fruitful period. The author gives full coverage to the radical reworking of Dylan and Springst… Continue reading →

…Tingle, he’s generating all the album’s power himself, whether on guitar or bass. At times he sounds like Jimmy Page in a duo context. His mix of intensity, dexterity and the way he weaves in and around Debra’s vocal and then slips back into breathless rhythm, marks him out as a Page disciple, but someone with his own unique attack. His playing isn’t just about the occasional string bends and sustained notes, as his full array of licks provide a… Continue reading →
