I've been listening to three Little Angels albums, Don't Prey for Me, Young Gods and Jam. At the time (late eighties/early nineties), they released a great Zeppelin inspired single, She's a little Angel, but the albums sounded average. Twenty years on, they seem the same. I was prompted to dig these out of mothballs after reading that their excellent lead singer Toby Jepson was working with yet another band (Gun I think).
Other albums I felt spurred into exhuming were various Queen remasters from 2011I, after watching the new year TV show with Adam Lambert. A friend lent me A Night at the Opera around the time it was released and, after Bohemian Rhapsody, I was massively disappointed, as it seemed to consist of the aforementioned epic with lots of sing-song filler. As with Little Angels, nothing has changed. Queen are one of the most inconsistent bands of the seventies; their heavy rock inclinations are great (Now I'm Here, Seven Seas of Rhye, Brighton Rock, Dragon Attack, Bohemian Rhapsody), but there is far too much meciocre material for my taste. One of these days, I'll make my own Queen compilation album.
On the subject of Adam Lambert, he was not the exact copy I expected and nor was he the showman to match Freddie Mercury. But in fairness to Lambert, I cannot think of anyone to match Mercury's stage presence, short of Jimi Hendrix. Brian May's guitar playing was distinctive, but surprisingly (to me at least) there was little chemistry between him and the rest of the 'band'. Nevertheless, Lambert did a reasonable job and it would certainly be intriguing if he joined May and Roger Taylor in recording an album of new material - as Queen.

Nice find Ruby ! I enjoyed this and the soprano sax was perfect,,,,wondering who it was? Wayne Shorter...Branford Marsalis ???? Ruby Wrote:David Knopflerâs Wishbones. (Yep â that would be Markâs little brother) Havenât heard any of his solo stuff before and really enjoyed listening to this album. I donât think itâs fair to make comparisons, although itâs impossible not to notice certain similarities, and there are bound to be hangovers from the days of Dire Straits. David has great narrative ability IMHO, he doesnât seem to be afraid of voicing a socio/political opinion now and then, and he knows his way around the ivories. Might have to listen to some more â¦

Never heard of Little Angels! I will have to check them out! As for Queen, some bands appeal to me in a live setting and Queen is one of those bands! Brian's solo guitar set is fabulous!

Excellent guesses on the sax player because he does play at that level. However, according to a music sales site's description, it's a British gent, Chris White: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_White_(saxophonist) << and there's great news coming from him and his pals if you are a Dire Straits fan.

Chris White was a touring member of Dire Straits SteveO, and heâs worked with both brothers as well as John Illsley on some of their solo efforts and his own ( Shadowdance). Also Justin Hayward, Sir Paul, Bryan Ferry, Robbie Williams, Chris de Burgh, Oletta Adams, Randy Crawford, etc., etc., the list goes on! Doesnât seem likely heâll be out of work anytime soon.
This is such a lovely clip from Dire Straitsâ live On The Night â sax intro and then the big sax break at around 6.20 -

I know this further shifts the focus away from the subject but here's that Dire Straits continuation band in concert: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ny3W1VA9lnQ << It's such a joy to see as consummate a musician as Chris White is genuinely enjoying playing with his mates, being so animated in support.

Thanks for the info on Chris White, Ruby!
One of he best and most entertaining albums from last year in this ambitious outing from the band Pallbearer and their fabulous second album Foundations of Burden ! An amazing potpourri of great clean vocals in the progressive rock vein, folk rock and hard rock included! This is a monster album!!!! (All clean vocals,,,no grunts and screams !!!!...lol)
The band hails from Little Rock, Arkansas the same place as the fabulous Amy Lee and Evanescence! Here's the opening track!
