Axe - Axe - 1979



Florida bands debut album by former members of Babyface (?). Four albums released before the car accident death of lead guitarist Osbourne in 1984. Disbanded then but reformed in 2000 with 3 albums since then. This album never charted but 2 later releases did, neither with any real impact. The album did nothing for me. Standard 70's guitar/keyboard rock.

I do not like this album.

Hockey - Mind Chaos - 2009



Debut from Oregon band who attracted interest in the U.K. from BBC DJ Zane Lowe after hearing home recorded demos. The demo had been originally scheduled for relase by Sony and produced by Talking Heads Jerry Harrison. Some conflict developed and the band was dropped. After Lowes discovery the band was persuaded to do some U.K. gigs and the positive feedback resulted in another contract with Capitol and here we are. Not a bad debut.

I like this album


Favorite Track - Four Holy Photos

Hold up a picture of a highway,
And a picture of a home.
And a picture of some money,
And a picture of some bones
All together
All in a row
But out of all those pictures, you'll only notice one
But its really not important
No its no more than a fortune
It just shows what doors are open
If you're looking at the home, well your feet are scared
You're looking at the road, you're gonna feel restless for a while, yes for a while, for a while
If you're looking at the money, well you benefit from the army
You're looking the bones, well you got some silly reasons in their eyes, yes in their eyes, in their eyes

This the song
This the song
The song of four holy photos
They never look into their own eyes
Its the second closest you'll get

There's settlement of foreigners in a land that they can't see
Where the birds are always singing
And the water runs clean
But all these things
Told them nothing
There's a makeshift church
And there's a hand that pulls a rope
And the rope swings the bells
As they ring into the trees
And make an echo
And it never stops
Well so i hung up those pictures in their foraminous place
Where their mood is a little nervous
But they felt they had a reason enough to stay
So they stayed
And no-one when they looked, could even see the bones at all
The leaders took the money
And the others took the color of the road
Yes, and the home
And no-one argued
It was one of them who did
And he spoke on what he saw
And ruined his reputation
He was labeled as a misfit
Ah you know, that's just what saints get sometimes

This the song
This the song
The song of four holy photos
They never look into their own eyes
Its the second closest you'll get

Pearl Jam - Backspacer - 2009



Ninth studio album from these alt-rockers. I was pleasantly surprised. Nothing outstanding, just a good rock 'n' roll record. Most bands have usually reached burn out stage at this point in their career, but these guys still have the fire.
And they can still crank it down too, as on the beautiful Just Breathe.

Favorite Track - Just Breathe

Yes I understand that every life must end, aw huh,..
As we sit alone, I know someday we must go, aw huh,..
I’m a lucky man to count on both hands
The ones I love,..

Some folks just have one,
Others they got none, aw huh,..

Stay with me,..
Let’s just breathe.

Practiced are my sins,
Never gonna let me win, aw huh,..
Under everything, just another human being, aw huh,..
Yeh, I don’t wanna hurt, there’s so much in this world
To make me bleed.

Stay with me,..
You’re all I see.

Did I say that I need you?
Did I say that I want you?
Oh, if I didn’t now I’m a fool you see,..
No one knows this more than me.
As I come clean.

I wonder everyday
as I look upon your face, aw huh,..
Everything you gave
And nothing you would take, aw huh,..
Nothing you would take,..
Everything you gave.

Did I say that I need you?
Oh, Did I say that I want you?
Oh, if I didn’t now I’m a fool you see,..
No one know this more than me.
As I come clean.

Nothing you would take,..
everything you gave.
Hold me till I die,..
Meet you on the other side.

Foghat - Boogie Motel - 1979



Former members of Savoy Brown split off to form Foghat in the early 70's moving to the states to make their mark. This is their 8th studio album and the peak had already been reached. Not much good to say about this one. Although it reached #35 on the charts, about the only good track for me was the single of Third Time Lucky

I do not like this album.


Favorite Track - Third Time Lucky

It's all behind me
There's good luck up ahead
Can't break what's left of my heart
Once bitten twice shy
I hate to see it all fall apart
First love I had I was seventeen and I was younger
Love to us was some kind of game
And all my letters said I would never forget her
Now I can't recall her name
The first time I was a fool
never knew that love could be so cruel
It happened again
Third time lucky
Oh Yeah
I was in love one time
I thought it was the real thing
But I kept the feelings to myself
Afraid to show them
Expecting her to know
It's the reason she found someone else
It's all behind me
There's good luck up ahead
Can't break what's left of my heart
Once bitten twice shy
I hate to see it all fall apart
The first time I was a fool
never knew that love could be so cruel
It happened again
Third time lucky
Oh Yeah
The first time I was a fool
never knew that love could be so cruel
It happened again
Third time lucky
Oh Yeah
The first time I was a fool
never knew that love could be so cruel
It happened again
Third time lucky
Oh Yeah
