Here are the other two albums of Paul Brett's Sage. A lot of you asked for this albums after i posted some weeks ago ''Jubilation Foundry'' from 1971. Enjoy. (Frank)
Tying together many of the musical threads of their day, Paul Brett Sage was a progressive band in the best sense of the word, with an adventurous sound that was accessible to all, though they never lost sight of their origins. The group grew out of the folk duo of guitarist/singer Paul Brett and percussionist Bob Voice, and their eponymous debut album sees Paul Brett Sage retain a folksy bend, which reaches grand agit-folk heights on "Trophies of War." Elsewhere, Brett's fiery licks and solos, particularly on the anthemic "3D Mona Lisa," paints rock right across the backwoods vista. Evocative flamenco-tinged guitar sizzles around "The Sun Died," while Brett's aggressive performance on both 12-string and electric guitar creates a "Warlock" worthy of the modern age. With the band's prominent use of percussion, Nicky Higginbottom's haunting flute, their strong melodies, and infectious choruses, Paul Brett Sage hovers between folk, rock, world, and pop; an album that deftly manages to be all things to all people.

Talking about the internet, I'm with you, Frank, keep the faith, things will get better (in the end). I should write a song about it (Me, Myself & iMac), actually, I can write novels about it (Chapter One - When I was young people used to walk over to a cell to communicate long distance; they put their finger into a hole and made tiny little circles. A generation before, they simply met and talked to each other...).
ReplyDeleteTo Paul Brett's Sage: Remarkable, how they mananed to sound like different bands or artists on each album.
A final word on "Jubilation Foundry", on which I got hooked again after listening to your rip: The wonderful sing-along chant "Last Goodbye" is the second best parting song ever (only topped by the Voice Squad's "The Parting Glass").
Thanks for your comment Greeny and i second that the band sounded very different on all three albums. Wish you a nice weekend,

Since there's not button in order to comment on the Uzi post, I leave a comment here:
ReplyDeleteInteresting band, Frank, with the advantage of sounding almost like native speakers, and the disadvantage of a minor production standard and the almost total lack of a national pop culture in the 60s (same goes for Germany in the 60s, too).
Standout track for me is not "Morning Train" but "I'm Leaving on the Morning Train" reminding me of Felix Cavaliere & The Young Rascals" at times. Thanks a lot, Frank!
Hola again Greeny :-),
Deletei don't know why there is not a button for comments but from time to time this happens. However, i agree nearly complete with your opinion about the lacking pop cultures in a lot of countries all over Europe in the sixties (not only Europe). But on the other hand some bands developed a special kind of charme and unusual ideas because of this and that is what i like. Some Nederbeat bands or a few krautrock bands are good examples but there are a lot more also from very obscure cultural backgrounds.
Thanks for your nice comment.
