Derek and The Dominos Review / Dexy's Midnight Runners Preview (Album 10)

(Derek preview here) So the Derek and the Dominos album is legit. It's interesting to hear and Eric Clapton album before "Clapton is God" really happened. Which was around the late 70s I believe. He still carries his signature sound (awesome guitar, whether it be a riff or a solo or just background melody) and when the time is right he sings. This album is interesting because there are other people involved and showcased; unlike what a regular Clapton album would be like.

Favorite songs:
     Keep On Growing
     Key to the Highway
     Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad
     Layla

Yuck. just kidding. More 80s goodness:

Album: Searching For The Young Soul Rebels

Artist: Dexy's Midnight Runners

Release Year: 1980

"This inaugral LP proved just as strong, opening with the sound of a radio swithcing channels before a cry of "For God's sake burn it down" kicks things off. The track was a reworking of debut single "Dance Stance," Rowland's angry diatribe against anti-Irish jokes. Welcome to the new soul vision indeed." - Jon Harrington

Elvis Review / Derek And The Dominos Preview (Album 9)

(Elvis preview here) So, more Elvis. I like Elvis. This man have a voice. He is the King Of Rock. this album, however, is a little different than some of his other songs. That seems to happen often. There is one almost a cappella song, and there are some songs lyrically that sounded more like they should be in a new-school metal song than a 60s "classic rock" pop song. (In 'Dirty, Dirty Feeling': "I hear you're pretty good at runnin / but pretty soon you'll slip and fall / that's when I'll drag you home with me girl / I'm gonna chain you to the wall"). It's interesting. A lot of the songs sound like you would expect Elvis, singing about love and ladies lost; The Girl Of My Best Friend, Thrill Of Your Love, It Feels So Right. There are also a couple of war-themed songs - I believe that this is because Elvis just returned from the service (I think...). This is interesting, because this generation is almost gone and this time of the world continues to disappear from our view. It's a little sad. Elvis and his group of crooners help to you imagine what it was like to have love during the 1960s.

Favorite songs:

     Girl Of My Best Friend

     Soldier Boy

     Such A Night

Album: Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs

Artist: Derek And The Dominos

Release Year: 1970

"An almost fictitious group ended up making a double vinyl album that, though it bombed at the time, has since been re-evaluated as a rock classic thanks to its title track's single success. The Derek in question was Eric Clapton who, after stints with The Yardbirds, John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, Cream, and (briefly) Blind Faith, recruited a band and created this, his first solo gem." - Michael Heatley

01 - I Looked Away

02 - Bell Bottom Blues

Elvis Review / Elvis Preview (Album 8)

(Elvis preview here) Wow sorry, it's been a while. Elvis. The King of Rock and Roll. I only really like the songs here that were his famous songs; Blue Suede Shoes, Tutti Frutti, Blue Moon. The album is actually thrown together from a bunch of different recordings, which makes for a bunch of changing sounds. Not bad, just an interesting fact. The songs go from slow and acoustic to rock-a-billy and upbeat. It's fun. A fun album indeed.

Favorite Songs:
     Blue Suede Shoes
     Blue Moon
     Tutti Frutti
