What Are You Listening To - The Reckoning

[l'angelo mysterioso]

Aside from listening to music on the radio, I haven't spent much time listening to music of a personal choice recently.

 

I decided to change this and had a gander through the Youtube vaults last night and came across a song by a band I adored in the late eighties. Don't suppose many of you will have heard of this but it's an incredibly haunting version of an old Irish folk song written around a hundred years ago.

 

Never fails to give me goosebumps, saw them perform this more than a dozen times live.

Sunburst finish... be bop deluxe

Bill NELSON one of wakefields finest fine 70s song writing and guitar work.

[Robin Evans]

On my list as one of the most underestimated British guitarists ever.

He is responsible for some fabulous song writing and be bop deluxe was the pinnacle of his commercial success..... sunburst finish remains in my top ten fav albums... though by no means the only fab album he did with BBD.

[Robin Evans]

British rock today.... loud aggressive and without any great subtleties...

Nowt poncey.... rock n roll

I'm starting with UFO and moving onto a Blackmore mix.... then a bit of irish influence wi phil n thin lizzy....

That should sort the day out.

Only band where a saxophone can make a song sound worse and, fair play, they worked hard at it.

I saw them once; only Tinchy Stryder has come close cheesing me off to that extent.

They do polarise opinion a bit...
