Forrest - One Lover (Expanded Edition) (2015)

Forrest M. Thomas (Galveston, 21 april 1953 – Tilburg, 9 september 2013), beter bekend onder zijn artiestennaam Forrest, was een Amerikaans zanger die vanuit Nederland werkte.

Thomas werd geboren in Galveston, Texas, waar hij als jongen in het kerkkoor zong. Om zijn muzikale talent te ontwikkelen vertrok hij als tiener naar Los Angeles en won daar als zanger verschillende prijzen.

Thomas emigreerde naar Nederland begin jaren tachtig en had daar in 1983 een wereldhit met het nummer Rock the Boat. In 1984 had hij een hit met de Band of Gold, Lovesongs are back again. In Nederland trad Thomas op met onder meer Lee Towers, Anita Meyer, René Froger, Rob de Nijs, Ruth Jacott, Frank Boeijen, Sandra Reemer, Hollywood Boulevard, Jocelyn Brown en George McCrae. In 1988 en 1994 verzorgde hij achtergrondzang op albums van David Knopfler.

In 2001 zong hij in de theaterzangshow R.E.S.P.E.C.T met nummers van onder andere Marvin Gaye, The Temptations en Otis Redding. Door DJ Roog werd hij gevraagd als vocalist bij de groep Planet Hardsoul. De single Where did our love go behaalde in Engeland de Top 20.

In 2004 trad Thomas samen met Ria Brieffies van de Dolly Dots, Alides Hidding (Time Bandits) en Ruby op in de theatershow 80’s Flashbacktour waarin grote danceklassiekers uit de jaren tachtig ten gehore werden gebracht, begeleid door de band Flair. In 2006 zong Thomas in het nummer Keepin it Real op het debuutalbum Mesmerize van DJ Maestro. In 2007 ging hij verder in het vervolg van de Flashbacktour.

In 2007 produceerde Thomas de cd Front Door Key van de Palestijns-Nederlandse chirurg en musicus Doc Jazz. Thomas werkte ook als zangdocent en had een boekingskantoor en geluidsstudio in Sneek.

Thomas was tweemaal getrouwd. Zijn eerste huwelijk was met televisiepresentatrice Manon Thomas. Dit huwelijk kwam na twaalf jaar ten einde. In 2012 trouwde hij met zijn vriendin Diana. Hij overleed op 60-jarige leeftijd in een ziekenhuis in Tilburg aan een beroerte.

Change - Love 4 Love (2018)

Change is an Italian-American post-disco group formed in Bologna, Italy, in 1979 by businessman and executive producer Jacques Fred Petrus (1948–1987) and Mauro Malavasi (born 1957). 

They were heavily influenced by the disco band Chic. The current incarnation of the group formed in 2018.

Change was initially formed in early 1979 as a studio band with a revolving cast of musicians, led by businessman and executive producer Jacques Fred Petrus, with the majority of song-writing and production carried out by Mauro Malavasi and Davide Romani.

The band's dual Italian and American identity was a result of a production system in which the music, excepting the vocals, were written and recorded by Italian collaborators in studios such as Fonoprint Studios, Bologna, Italy. 

The backing tracks were then taken to the USA where vocals were added by American performers, before being mixed into finalised versions in major studios such as the Power Station in New York City.

In 2018, Change returned with original members Davide Romani and Mauro Malavasi, and new vocalist Tanya Michelle Smith. The reformed act also released their first single and video, “Hit or Miss,” in June 2018, which is the lead off track from “Love 4 Love,” a nine-song set scheduled for a September 2018 release.

Little River Band - One Night In Mississippi - Live (2002)

A live recording from 2002, ONE NIGHT IN MISSISSIPPI.

Recorded live at River Palace Entertainment Center, Sam's Town Casino, Tunica, MS.

It features the Little River Band’s biggest hits, performed by a line-up bereft of all of the group’s principals from its 1970s hit-making era. Despite the lack of key original members, the combo sounds tight and polished, delivering note-perfect versions of soft rock classics “Reminiscing” and “Lonesome Losers” that come quite close to matching the originals’ smooth vibrancy. 

While some listeners may miss the distinctive lead vocals of Glenn Shorrock, ONE NIGHT IN MISSISSIPPI showcases the early-aughts version of the Little River Band at its polished best. 

This recording from 2002 finds the then current version of the band doing a mix of LRB hits and newer tunes taken from their 2000 release "Where We Started From". Overall the level of musicianship and vocals is extremely high reminiscent of the band at the peak of their success, some 20 years before.

The title of the recording, perhaps unintentionally, points to the very origins of the Little River Band which evolved out of a group called "Mississippi". The recording itself documents a band on tour allowing the audience on the recording (as well as the listener at home) to enjoy the sound and music of the Little River Band.

If you want to hear the original tunes done by the original line-up then put on an LRB Greatest Hits recording. If you want to hear the tunes you know (and some new ones thrown in for good measure) performed live to some very high standards then this recording fits the bill.

While it can be argued its not the original LRB line-up performing, it still sounds like the Little River Band we all know and it helps to keep their music alive and relevant for a whole new generation.

Brigitte Bardot - Brigitte Bardot (2000)

Brigitte Anne-Marie Bardot; born 28 September 1934), often referred to by her initials B.B., is a French animal rights activist and former actress and singer. Famous for portraying sexually emancipated personae with hedonistic lifestyles, she was one of the best known sex symbols of the late 1950s and 1960s. Although she withdrew from the entertainment industry in 1973, she remains a major popular culture icon.Born and raised in Paris, Bardot was an aspiring ballerina in her early life. She started her acting career in 1952. She achieved international recognition in 1957 for her role in And God Created Woman (1956), and also caught the attention of French intellectuals. She was the subject of Simone de Beauvoir's 1959 essay The Lolita Syndrome, which described her as a "locomotive of women's history" and built upon existentialist themes to declare her the first and most liberated woman of post-war France. Bardot later starred in Jean-Luc Godard's film Le Mépris (1963). For her role in Louis Malle's film Viva Maria! (1965) she was nominated for the BAFTA Award for Best Foreign Actress.Bardot retired from the entertainment industry in 1973. She had acted in 47 films, performed in several musicals and recorded more than 60 songs. She was awarded the Legion of Honour in 1985 but refused to accept it. After retiring, she became an animal rights activist. During the 2000s, she generated controversy by criticizing immigration and Islam in France, and she has been fined five times for inciting racial hatred. She is married to Bernard d'Ormale, a former adviser to Marine Le Pen, France's main far-right political leader. 

Bardot released several albums and singles during the 1960s and 1970s

Lynx - We Are the People (1979)

Formed in Toronto by highschool friends Mike Swartz and Bob Walker in 1973 after folding the tent on their previous group Black Wheat. 

They recruited Swartz's younger brother Rob as the second guitarist, and with Walker handling bass, they added Rick Haberman on drums - and Lynx was born.

They made their way around the local circuit for the next year or so, while writing material on the side. 

Reviews of the shows were positive and the band's legion of fans steadily grew around the region. 

Steve Taylor, head of Starship Music Productions, caught their show one night and signed a deal with them. Armed with a demo tape they'd recorded at Mercy Brothers Studio in Elmira, Ontario, he landed them a contract with Quality Records in early '76.

While they were at Toronto's Phase One Studios, they augmented their sound by bringing in Tony Caputo on keyboards, a classically trained pianist from the Toronto's Royal Conservatory of Music, and holder of a degree in Music Theory and Performance from Toronto's Humber Music College.

Produced by Bob Morten, the material they were laying down was for the most part a joint writing effort, although Caputo had come on board too late. MISSING LYNX, their debut album was on the store shelves by that summer, and tracks like the lead-off and first single "Dollars," "Best You Ever Had," "Lucifer" and anthemic "Goodbye Educaton, Hello Rock & Roll" captured the band's live essence, and word of the band's raucous and flambouyant show continued to spread. 

They were featured on Global TV Toronto's "Caught In The Act" program that year, but even with constant touring that took them throughout Ontario and beyond, they were finding it tough cracking the program directors' personal playlists.

Caputo noted at that time there were also a lot more choices for the live concert-goers to choose from. "There were so many groups out there back then that we were like a traveling road show from town to town, getting together at obvious spots for gas and food and to warm up," he said.

Following a tour that took them across the country, what had already been years of toiling for the group led to its demise, with everyone going their separate ways. 

The problem though was Quality had a three album contract, and Caputo and Rob Swartz were talked into carrying on under the Lynx banner. They assembled a new lineup that consisted of Norm Paulin as the new singer and bassist, and Ian McCorckle was brought in on drums.

With Morten returning behind the controls, some sessions at Thunder Sound in Toronto culminated in their sophomore release in the spring of '78. In many ways, SNEAK ATTACK picked up where its predecessor left off. 

The first single was "Which Side," and like its follow-up, "I Just Wanna Love You," was rock with a bit of an edge, towering with actual anthemic potential. Other noteable tracks included the slightly eerie aura of "Ain't No Way," "and keys-driven "Better Together." 

But by the time the album was pressed, Paulin moved over to vocals while Daryl Peterson was brought in on bass and Jim Differ was the new drummer. Following a series of dates around Ontario, the band was again on the shelf when neither single made a dent in the charts.

By spring of '79, Caputo put the name under another major overhaul, assembling guitarist Jerry Donnelly, Dan Nowack on drums and bassist Dave McWilliams. They were shipped off to Hollywood with new producers Ed Cobb and James Pike, and WE ARE THE PEOPLE was on the store shelves that fall. 

Unfortunately though, the title track was released as the only single and with a lack of interest from the label, the song went nowhere, and few albums left the stores.

With the band on life support once again, and frustrated with the industry's politics, Caputo pulled the plug on Lynx by the end of the year following a short tour. He tried one last time to resurrect the band a couple of years later, but eventually moved to Chicago, where he played with the likes of Peter Gabriel and Cheap Trick. 

He then began spending much of his time overseas, and was the musical director at Spain's 5-star La Cala Resort for five years. He's also worked with a number of artists in far-off lands, including TNT and 1349, a pair of Norweigan groups that he noted sound eerily familiar.

"I bailed out of the business after the last screwing by Quality Records, I've mostly played in Europe for the last 25 years, where good Canadian rock is appreciated," Caputo laughed. 

He added that although the band caused little ripples at home, it's ironic and still gratifying to have made an impact overseas. "A lot of groups there are crazy about Canadian '70s rock, and knew of Lynx as well as a few others that they modeled a lot of their style after. I was amazed. I think they know more obscure ground-breaking bands than I did."

Nick Kamen - Move Until We Fly (1990)

Ivor Neville "Nick" Kamen (15 April 1962 – 4 May 2021) was an English male model, songwriter and musician. 

He was best known for the singles "Each Time You Break My Heart" from 1986 and "I Promised Myself" from 1990, as well as for appearing in a 1985 Levi advert.

1990 saw the release of one of his biggest hits. The single "I Promised Myself", from the album Move Until We Fly, reached Number 1 in eight European countries and was the fourth most played record in Europe in 1990. 

The song was later covered by Dead or Alive (1999), A-Teens (2004), Basshunter (2009), and most recently by German punk rockers Maggers United (2013). 

Na het verschijnen van de reclame, waarin het nummer I Heard It Through The Grapevine van Marvin Gaye te horen was, steeg de verkoop van de jeans enorm.

De beelden werden ook gezien door Madonna, die onder de indruk was van Kamens charisma. Ze besloot het door haar geschreven nummer Each Time You Break My Heart, dat haar album True Blue net niet heeft gehaald, door de zanger op te laten nemen. Het lied belandde in de top 10 van de Nederlandse Top 40.

In 1990 scoorde hij wederom een grote hit met I Promised Myself, geproduceerd door Pet Shop Boys-producer Andy Richards.

Cuby + The Blizzards - Hotel Grolloo (2000)

Songs van Cuby in een nieuw jasje met bevriende artiesten als gast. Dit alles ter ere van een 35 jarig jubileum van Harry Muskee. Een live opgenomen album zonder publiek.

Een prachtig eerbetoon aan Cuby + the Blizzards door een aantal Nederlandse artiesten, samen met... Cuby + the Blizzards zelf. Ze zetten allemaal hun beste voetje voor en dat is te horen. Het onderste wordt uit de kan gehaald, pure muzikale klasse dit Hotel Grolloo. Een speciale vermelding voor pianist Helmig van der Vegt, die weer prachtig speelt.

Barry Hay brengt samen met C+B een sterke rock versie van Another Day, Another Road. Tineke Schoemaker doet het helemaal niet onverdienstelijk op een prima Appleknockers Flophouse. Eén van de hoogtepunten vind ik Las Minute Flight met Daniël Lohues. Fraaie lange bluessong is dat. C+B die samen met Huub van der Lubbe Er Is Niemand In de Stad, maar dan in het Engels doen, is erg leuk.

Een boogie die echt goed gezongen wordt door Bennie Jolink is Just For Fun. Verderop is Going Home met hem iets minder. Een prachtige versie van Somebody Will Know Someday wordt ook gezongen door Tineke Schoemaker. En zo gaat het maar door. Met ook een fraaie Window of My Eyes gezongen door Huub van der Lubbe & een hele sterke So Many Roads met Daniël Lohues. Een leuk en goed album, met net weer een andere insteek voor al deze geweldige songs.

Vier nieuwe nummers zijn van de hand van Muskee.Opnieuw een nummer over de Indianen in Noord-Amerika, "I’m wandering where the Indians gone". Blues is minderheidsmuziek, ontstaan uit onderdrukking en verzet en daardoor zeer geschikt om de problematiek van de Indianen weer te geven. De bluesmuziek van Harry Muskee kenmerkt zich ook door het aan de kaak stellen van misstanden. In zijn teksten komt hij op voor de kleine man en de verdrukten.

In de jaren zestig koos Harry voor de blues. Ook al heeft de muzikale vorm zich ontwikkeld, in de kern is hij de blues trouw gebleven.

In "Last minute flight" zingt hij dat als je eenmaal een keuze hebt gemaakt, er geen weg terug is. Zo rechtlijnig is Muskee zelf ook. Een ander nummer van de cd is "Once in a lifetime", een liefdesliedje uit 1959, waarin Harry zijn gevoelige kant toont.

Een bluescarrière zonder drank bestaat niet. Ook Harry kent de verleidingen en gevaren van de 'booze'. De strijd, wie de sterkste is. Een terugkerend thema in zijn werk. Zoals in "Liquor blues" op "Hotel Grolloo".
