Flang Dang

Product Information

Wobei der sensibel-siedende Drummer das Kompliment etwa an seine beherzte Besenarbeit auf der Snare bescheiden von sich weist: "Ich brauchte wirklich nur die heißen Rhythmen auf seinen Demos nachzuahmen, aller Beifall gebührt Andy!

Beavis pachtet hier gleich den Rhythmus, bei dem jeder mit muss - und Andy erweitert seine schier unnachahmliche Vokalkunst wie so oft hier mit eigenen Chorstimmen.Andy is without one of the greatest artists this country has ever produced from those early years with Amen Corner, through touring the world with Eric Clapton and Roger Waters.

Andy's straightforward and often powerful lyrics greet the uncertainties and sorrows of life with a missive to get up and “Stand Up” in the light, and above all, to keep faith with oneself. Dabei koppelt Fairweather sofort beim Rock'n'Roll "Waiting On The Top" seine Akustische derart pfiffig mit verzerrten Licks, dass man eine komplette Horn-Sektion zu hören glaubt! The only thing I can’t stand is the drum machine that I use, so this time, I thought, ‘I’ll tell you what, I’ll go to Rockfield, and I’ll do my demos but at a better level, better technical level, and with a proper drummer’. I was due to be at the studio with another band when Andy was actually recording this fabulous album. He recorded it all at Kingsley Ward's Rockfield studio in Wales, with drummer Paul Beavis providing the healthiest of heartbeats for this new body of Andy's work.

There are sort of a lot of soulful and gospel-tinged songs, mind you, there’s a bit of blues, there’s a bit of ska, there’s a bit of country, there’s a bit of everything. The whole album has the patina of maturity that you would expect from someone with such a huge wealth of experience as a musician and a gentleman. Wege, was falsch zu machen und nur einen richtigen, das gilt auch für die Musik, und AFL macht es wieder richtig - samt zwinkerndem "Memphis"-Zitat im Solo. Every song on the album was written by Andy and oozes with the blues and gospel style that he has made his own. Never a huge singles collector I also bought Andy Fairweather Low’s 45, Wide Eyed and Legless; and that’s probably where our paths ceased to cross until now.

don’t get me wrong; I’m a Music Snob and revel in such albums that sometimes need Poirot or Vera to unravel the mysteries therein; but sometimes I just crave music that is ….You don’t have to pay, you know, you can have itfor nothing, just come down and do something, it will be good to see you’, Kingsley said. where to go for a Favourite Song; it’ll come as no surprise that Ska 67 is a prime contender, as it neatly mixes a traditional chunky riff with some guitar based melody which could be from the first Specials album and bizarrely Andy actually sounds authentic as sings like he was an Alpha Boys School alumni! We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others. The album was written, produced and performed by Andy, who plays all of the instruments here with the exception of the drums, deftly handled by Low Riders band member Paul Beavis.

which must mean ‘something’ and that was Got Me a Party which shuffles along like a steam train; and the irony laden story itself typifies the ‘fun, fun, fun’ spirit of the whole album … so (for today anyway) this is my Favourite Song. Ein weiterer waffenscheinpflichtiger Groove wird mit einem Zungenbrecher gekoppelt: "You can vip-vop and Be-Bop and shout Bam-a-lam", heißt es in "Looking Down", und es brennt die Hütte. But the band I was to join pulled out so my visit to the legendary Rockfield studios didn't happen, but Andy did and during these sessions we did an interview together anyway about his amazing career and this new album. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. Flang Dang is Andy's first solo album since 2006 - After an interval of sixteen years, here he is again at his sweet and soulful musical best with the kind of record that will surely delight his fans.Wobei es sich bei FLANG DANG, wie die Briten sagen, um einen "acquired taste" handelt - man muss sich dran gewöhnen. In between I’ve seen him countless times as the gunslinger beside many household names in the music business; where he can play rhythm guitar as well as the best of them; and when necessary step back into the shadows to play ‘invisible lead guitar’ when the Star still can’t play guitar and sing at the same time (guesses on a postcard to the usual address).
