Piano's back.

To give Andy Newman some credit, despite his somewhat tiresome plinky-plonky piano, he does play all the brass and woodwinds and exotic percussion.

Track 8 - The Old Cornmill.

by Nightjar Thu Jul 23, 2020 7:31 pm

Sounds like a proper song.

So far.

by Guest Thu Jul 23, 2020 7:33 pm

This one sounds better, not sure it's a better song.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Jul 23, 2020 7:34 pm

Sounds like that Rod Stewart song that goes, "I knew her name was Rita coz her kiss was getting sweeter."

We just heard exactly what's wrong and right about this band/album.

John Keen's strained, grating vocals, Andy Newman's plinky plonky piano and then Wee Jimmy's superb guitar and 'Bijou Drains' bass.

Track 9 - I Don't Know.

by Nightjar Thu Jul 23, 2020 7:35 pm

Drunken comedy ending.

by Guest Thu Jul 23, 2020 7:35 pm

Very Who Like end to that one. 'Loverly b*ttocks'

I'm amazed at how good Townshend is at doing the Entwistle bass style.

by Guest Thu Jul 23, 2020 7:36 pm

Flanger. Or possibly phasing effect.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Jul 23, 2020 7:36 pm

Piano's back.

Why does he only have one piano solo?

by Guest Thu Jul 23, 2020 7:37 pm

Falsetto.

I guess the fact that they played in the same band for decades shouldn't mean it's a surprise, but still...

by Guest Thu Jul 23, 2020 7:37 pm

Or just his normal singing voice?

Is he a castrato?

Well, 5 years.

The Piano bits don't seem to mesh with the guitar stuff.
