Whats playing on your system today?
Hey N - that's the great thing about Spotify (or Tidal, etc.)...the ability to check out so much different music. The live "New Day Yesterday" (cover of a Jethro Tull song) is on Spotify. Mind your spelling when searching for Ian, however...it is Siegal. OK. I need to try Tin Machine and also more KWS as in Ledbetter Heights. Later. |
Back again, N. OK, so I found Tin Machine (1st album) on Spotify. I had heard about this when it came out but never listened. Not much of a Bowie fan I guess. Anyway gave it a listen...it's kinda tough to "hear". A very hard edge to it...lot of anger. Disturbing even. BUT, while I'm not usually big on covers, their version of "Working Class Hero"....WOW. Very impressed with that. Did not finish the whole LP. As I said, a tough listen for me though I think the writing and musicianship are very strong. I know where it is. Will try and go back to finish at some point. Moved on now to Ledbetter Heights. More in my comfort zone. This is probably better than "Trouble Is"...to me at least. Great guitar and good vocals. I have to read up on it. Song writing is very good too. If they are all KWS, it's like he hit the trifecta. Thanks for the mention. You be sure and check out that Ian Siegel "Meat & Potatoes". You'll be glad (I think). Here's a link to "Butter Side Up" (3rd track from the M&P album). https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&... |
Looks like KWS "wrote or co-wrote" 8 or 12 tracks on his debut but apparently a Corey Sterling did lead vocals. This is makes for an interesting read on th subject of Mr. Sterling as well as KWS' song writing credits. http://www.thegearpage.net/board/index.php?threads/why-did-corey-sterling-leave-kws-band.1187062/ |
