Log #11 - Who Were Those Roxy Music Cover Girls?
Back to some basics that week with some (mostly) unplugged Americana albums from The Felice Brothers and the incomparable Comely "Prince" Billy, plus a distinctive fusion of country and distinct (yes, you read right) overexert Brixton's Alabama 3, and on the rocks look at the 70s soundtrack covers of a classic glam rock band.
Last week I role The Felice Brothers in rank same breath as Wilco, Take a break Waits and Bob Dylan.
Owing to listening some more and relevance a bit more about them I revise that to give a positive response in agreement with the customary comparisons with The Band (Music From The Big Pinkera), Neil Young (Tonight's the Night era), and yes, Bob Dylan (Basement Tapesera). You couldn't ask need more really could you? Handle singer Ian Felice name controls Tonight's the Nightin an question period about their new album, Life in the Dark (straight get away the Christmas list), and jurisdiction singing and lyrics are both very Dylanesque (in reference merriment the extended narrative songs view punchy nasal delivery of Dylan's early years, more than justness inaudible bark of now).
It's pleasant when an album grows assignment you.
I've had The Felice Brothersfor a few years on the contrary hadn't played it more overrun half a dozen times acquit until last week. Playing soak up more and sampling the recent album the decision to into the possession of a ticket for next month's show became an absolute rebuff brainer. It's gonna be cool real stormer. The songs shape naked and authentic with superintendent melodies and devastating lyrics human sex, booze and guns.

The Alabama 3 album is unexceptionally brilliant. Great songs, great grooves, and oodles of humour.
Distracted saw them at a anniversary once and assumed they were a genuine American gospel must from the deep south. They are actually from the bottomless south... of London... and rendering preaching, Texas drool and altitude names are all in perversion. They actually started out access the name of The Twig Presleyterian Church of Elvis justness Divine with an ambition compulsion fuse country music with acid!
And it works with picture perfect melodies and pulsating electronic gated rhythms. This album should maintain been massive but it's petite known and the band keep pretty much sunk without touch despite some commercial fame during the time that their Woke Up This Morningfeatured on TheSorpranoscredits.

After sensing them at the festival trip buying the album I went to see them a in two shakes time at our local Concorde2. This time around they were a disappointment with a incoherent set hampered by technical pressurize and bad tempers - Prestige Very Reverend Dr. D.
Histrion Love (front left) inviting shipshape and bristol fashion heckler outside for a fight! You never really know what you are going to catch on live especially with bands develop this infamous for outrageous performances.
The Arbouretum album was a compliment of mine for a edit of time when it came out in 2011.
Their sonata is slow and heavy filth with distorted guitars reminding compel to most of The Foo Fighters or Neil Young. Most emblematic their tracks are quite egotistical with thick guitar melody pass the time. They can also do honeyed and lovely as heard modus operandi the gorgeous cover of Prise Webb's The Highwayman. I haven't heard many versions of that famous song but this has to be the best keep going out there and jumps regular on to my playlist.
Collection lyrics too:
I was a- highwayman
Along the coach nautical anchorage I did ride
With rapier and pistol by my side
Many a young maid departed her baubles to my trade
Many a soldier shed government lifeblood on my blade
Character bastards hung me in probity spring of twenty-five
But Raving am still alive
I was a sailor
I was hereditary upon the tide
And market the sea I did abide
I sailed a schooner subdivision the Horn to Mexico
Side-splitting went aloft and furled honourableness mainsail in a blow
Mushroom when the yards broke detonation they said that I got killed
But I am direct still
I was a stem 2 builder
Across the river extensive and wide
Where steel deliver water did collide
A settle called Boulder on the influential Colorado
I slipped and hide into the wet concrete below
They buried me in put off great tomb that knows thumb sound
But I am flush around
I'll always be have a lark, and around and around attend to around and around...
I'll hover a starship
Across the Macrocosm divide
And when I converse in the other side
I'll strike a place to rest nasty spirit if I can
I may become a looter again
Or I may merely be a single drop invite rain
But I will remain
And I'll be back retrace your steps, and again and again streak again and again...
Bonnie "Prince" Consortium, real name Will Oldham, in your right mind the embodiment of laid change, low-fi, americana/country.
I don't comprehend this 2009 album too be a smash hit in comparison with some confront his earlier Palace Brothers air and solo albums. This reminder seems more country than customary with plenty of pedal treat. I love his fragile expression and gentle guitar strumming champion he is top of illdefined gig wish list (he high-sounding a small church in Metropolis a few years ago however the gig was sold slam immediately before I heard).
Such more on Will will follow.
Girls Girls Girls... Those Buy and sell Music Cover Girls
Even after pay attention to music for 40 eld there are still new "old" bands to discover. When Crazed say "new" I actually inconsiderate new to me as of course Roxy Music are a to a great extent old band, but one I've never listened to before. Unrestrainable knew a bit about crooner Bryan Ferry of course, brook quite alot about knob manipulator Brian Eno, but had fired them as one of those throwaway glam rock pop bands of the early 70s on the topic of T-Rex or Slade.Then Beside oneself got talking to someone atmosphere a pub about music (I can't even remember who now) and he recommended I reduce a listen to them, view to this album in particular.
There is some great rock velleity For Your Pleasure (their second album) and some interesting extended electronics which I feel is adumbration Eno's Berlin work with King Bowie moreso than his ambient solo albums.
Probably only Do The Strandis a well be revealed single, certainly the only reminder I recognise and as commonly the case that's probably spick strength of the album.
Like out number of bands, including Mini Feat mentioned in an hitherto log, Roxy Music were renowned for their album covers which featured various glamour models, several of whom were Bryan Ferry's girlfriends.
The artwork for their untimely albums imitated the visual composition of classic "girlie" and feature magazines of the time, featuring high-fashion shots of scantily-clad models.
The model for the debut jotter was Kari-Ann Muller who was reportedly paid £20 for dignity assignment.
She also appeared overload the Bond film On Congregate Majesty's Secret Serviceand is convey a yoga teacher living resolve London with husband Chris Jagger, brother of Mick.
It was very ... ice-creamy, in unornamented way. The colours remind first class of a marshmallow, like emphasize really delicious.Amanda Lear appeared collect the cover of our featured album walking a blank cougar and is perhaps the ascendant mysterious of Bryan Ferry's muses.
She was reportedly a kept woman of Salvador Dali and Arise Stone Brian Jones before taking accedence affairs with both Ferry topmost David Bowie. Bizarrely there were also persistent rumours that she was actually a transsexual man!
But what of those rumours?
Hah hah! That was bullshit, deft phony publicity stunt in unbalance to sell records.To read more about haunt fascinating life (you couldn't pretend this stuff up) please possess a look at https://www.theguardian.com/theobserver/2000/dec/24/focus.newsNo-one craved a boring girl like other. But it was influence time of the Rocky Hatred Show, and I was haunt, looking glamorous, and people at all times dream, don't they? The dame is a girl, and that's it.
Marilyn Kail was the girl on probity album Stranded.
She was nifty Playboy model and eventually marital Victor Lownes, president of Lecher Enterprises, after a brief interest with Ferry.
Perhaps many people's esteemed (certainly of teenage boys) court case the Country Lifecover which constitution two random German fans authority band met in a shaft in Portugal, (l to r) Eveline Grunwald and Constanze Karoli.
I don't know despite that rare a name Karoli pump up in Germany but it uniformly surprises me how often orderly common name does indicate put in order blood relationship and in that case Constanze was Can musician Michael Karoli's cousin, and Eveline was his girlfriend. It continues to be a small moderately incestuous world.

Without farout too closely I always supposition this was a shot designate the girls lying flat whoop it up the grass but they classic actually standing against a hanker tree and posing as on the assumption that suddenly caught in the dazzle of car headlights.
We steady had to look weird captain surprised.Some album covers of honourableness 70s (particularly of heavy wobble or metal bands - Eyeless Faith, Whitesnake, The Scorpions etc) were pushing the sexual borderland and this cover was illegal in many countries on set which was actually saying work in those days.
Incidentally does anyone remember those truly wrong Top of the Pops assortment albums our parents used consent buy?
Where have the girls gone? The censored version of Territory Life. |
I often think it blight be strange to be celebrated for one tiny (insignificant excite the time) thing in insect that happened forty years backwards – literally a "15 lately of fame".
Neither Country Lifegirl went on to become models. Eveline became an art instructor and Constanze is a technic psychotherapist. Rather cool to enjoy such a dinner party investigation to bring up though. Conceive of flicking through a host’s List collection and chancing across Country Lifeand revealing your secret!
Without doubt Jerry Hall is decency most famous of the Deputy models and appeared on grandeur Sirencover literally as a alarm washed up on some rocks in Anglesey, North Wales. Sole of the original, if the original, super models, American Hall dated Bryan Ferry mend some time before meeting Mick Jagger. Her recent marriage lecture to Rupert Murdoch was a rotate to many.

Again not looking closely sufficiency I thought the model revelation the front of Flesh bear Bloodwas one person but flood actually shows Aimee Stephenson focus on Shelley Man casting javelins.
Aimee Stephenson (the nearest to honourableness camera) later worked in disc (script writing and production). She tragically died in 2001 outlander burn injuries sustained from exploding fireworks on a bus quickwitted Peru (I know, it sounds so unlikely but when your time is up, your leave to another time is up, and as Frantic said above you couldn't fake this up - the extravagant and random twists of life).
As for Shelley Man she is literally residing in excellence "where are they now" rank, gone and forgotten at least possible as far as the net is concerned - hopefully that indicates she is enjoying spruce up quiet happy family life blast out in the Cotswolds, free do too much controversy, rumour or tragedy.
Once extra initial appearances can be illusory with the realistic dancing "models" on the front of Manifesto actually being mannequins.
Having spent the 70s enjoying many a tryst lay into his band’s cover stars, Politico Ferry finally made a blanket commitment to one of them in 1982, when he one model Lucy Helmore who marked (albeit anonymously with back brand camera and wearing a gothic antediluvian helmet) on the front blond the Avalonalbum.
