TYKETTO - "" Do not Come Easy "(1991) by Vincent Chameleon
Tékitoua (taleutickéchic)?
A name rather con, a pouch that is not less Tyketto is most of these groups' success will be kept confidential unless you can explain it. Unless can not judge the qualities of a disk that through his one eye: Hypothesis meager you will agree ...
Both say frankly, in its category, this first album is a true American bomb. Yes! A bomb.
great products by Richie Zito ( Ratt album, or Mane Attraction White Lion of was already his), and even 20 years after its release, I am pleased that each new listening Do not Come Easy remains intact (something rare enough, it seems to be underlined).
If the term "FM" is often adorned with a pejorative connotation enough, this album certainly enough assets to shatter many of these prejudices. Danny Vaughn, an unknown singer but really impressive ....
First there's that voice, that of Danny Vaughn , near a Gary Cherone (Extreme ) at its best. Clear, melodic and ultra powerful, it is supported by a rhythm that brings me to the same previous comparison (that of Extreme ). While the guitars are more bare and slightly less than those provided by Nuno , but they are more than sufficient to themselves, both their effectiveness and by the real qualities of the compositions.
Backed by keyboards (very discreet) of Alan Pasqua ( Giant), the 10 titles that compose Do not Come Easy are each a rare perfection. As we say in our jargon: That sends serious! Okay there's the ballad of rigor, "Standing Alone . But originality is not ruled out either, because the group also chooses the option of integrating its Hard FM (super groovy), a good dose of acoustic guitar intro and / or rhythmic support. This has the effect of producing an instantly more soul and a lot of freshness to these 10 pieces unstoppable (at the risk of repeating myself).
later Tyketto produce a second album, without any time to repeat the feat of the first. We will see a third and latest album, Shine , much better place, but Danny vocals. on the last album "Shine" is Steve Augieri that provides voice, it will then be recruited by Journey for their comeback in 2000. Since ... The group, I think dissolved, while Danny Vaughn continued releasing albums under his name, so at least confidential.
HUMBLE PIE" Humble Pie "(1970) - Bruno - AMELIE LES CRAYONS
A second birth
Long forgotten, or relegated as a second knife with a few "great journalists" the land of "cheese-that-stink" Humble Pie is slowly but surely fallen into oblivion, anonymity. So what in the late 80's, young wolves built their music on the ashes cold. Yet despite this occultation, or sometimes these shortcuts primary generated by a misunderstanding, Humble Pie is still one of the leading bands of the 70's.
Humble Pie was formed under the leadership of Steve Marriott , formerly co-leader and frontman of Small Faces- ( iconic group with Rod Stewart and Mods The Who, and authors of some pearls British Pop ). Steve wanted to go to a music rougher, more direct, and already, in concert, Steve gave a great impetus heavy, and some records such as "Tin Soldier " or "All or Nothing " took in concert before time, turns Zeppelinniennes. Moreover, it is no coincidence that Sir James Patrick Page had asked her sights on Steve for his New Yardbirds, but the manager of Small-Faces had the words, clear and sharp, to cool his aspirations . After attending the performance of a young band Pop, The Herd, Marriott was excited by the talent of youngster Peter Frampton . Trying to recruit him to move forward, allowing him to explore other horizons which he aspired, and his cronies while adhering to this little fad , Steve left the band to form with the young Frampton , Humble Pie. In Aparthé recall that following the demerger, Ronnie Lane, Ian MacLagan and Kenny Jones well em ... bored ( because Marriott was a guitarist, singer and composer ) after some time of uncertainty, collected two shipwrecked adventure 1 Jeff Beck Group ; in this case, Ronnie Wood and Rod Stewart (!). The Small Faces amputees their original singer and guitarist, began calling themselves Faces, and from 1970 to 1973, realized four good albums of vintage Rock, blues, and sometimes close to the Stones ... of Humble Pie.
Steve and Peter hired him on bass Greg Ridley, who officiated in earlier Spooky Tooth, and drums, another youngster (17 years only) in the person Jerry Shirley of ( Steve knew the close when he played with the obscure group Apostolic Intervention, and had lobbied for them signed by soinet Immediate Record).
Thus, Humble Pie, took the form of a final quartet. Peter Frampton, guitarist elegant and fine, as comfortable in that electric sound, good singer halfway between Pop 60's and 70's rock, Heavy, Greg Ridley, singer with the voice hard and rocky, bassist voluble (compared with a John Paul Jones), Jerry Shirley, drummer precise and concise (it will follow until the last breath of Marriott Pie, in 81, then participate in the adventure " Fastway," the group of Fast Eddie Clarke) and Steve Marriott powerful singer, the guitar playing aggressive and efficient, able to demonstrate an actual draft of energy on stage. Peter, Steve and Jerry officiates each secondarily on keyboards ( in concert, it was Frampton who has served ). The strength of Humble Pie, besides the fact that all its members, including Europe's very young Shirley, had already accumulated some experience, that he was adorned with three good singers at different timbre, recognizable and interlocking with each other. Allowing them well when they took turns to provide power to the songs, so when Peter or, more occasionally Greg took the place of soloist, instead of Steve, to generate shades rewarding album.
vocals, Greg was a man's office instead of wood, backpacker-yard-long (this is older than the group with 27 years the formation of the combo), or he gargled with aqua-vita, while Peter was more Dandy's Rock. As for Steve, when he let go, it was an explosion of emotions Soul angry, vindictive, bathed in perfume Rock, Heavy. As if his frail body was struggling to contain an overflow of energy, giving the impression of an exhortation. Her body exuded a music, which had shifted its source in the African-American.
Humble Pie starts with a bang in July 1969 by a flawless first single: a boogie-rock that could effectively sound a tad conventional, but takes a different dimension with the Interaction singers, said a groove, a development unstoppable and undeniable joy of playing together, and the pie is thirsty for battle. "Natural Born Boogie " had traumatized over a future heavy-boogie-rock of the United Kingdom. (4th place in the UK charts).
Then, after the first two albums, but controversial bills, left in a hurry (although the Pie was founded April 69, two discs were published this same year), Humble Pie just missed a splitter, lead, much against them by the bankruptcy of Immediate Records. Recovered by A & M, the pie goes into overdrive and leaves in its wake, at 70, the eponymous album, where heavy rock (Hard Blues) succession to beautiful acoustic ballads (folk or country). The album is excellent, and members of their talents shine Pie composers and performers. The compositions are mature and better produced. hange forced to label seems to have given a boost to Pius as a second birth. After a few appearances of frenzy of "Town & Country " The Pie has climbed in recent months, levels of maturity. (Note, again, the excellent work of Label Directory, which reissued the disc with a remastering on top, and a packetage worthwhile).

The album begins with a "Live With Me " seminal. Long adrenaline supported by an organ omnipotent. The voices come and go, affected, bewitched, while dazzling features of the Gibson Marriott lard chorus thick and dirty this Low - Heavy-bluesy-gospel-rock.
"Only a Roach " country composition, a somewhat incongruous with the choirs of the pillars of the pub. (One of the few compositions Shirley ...)
"One Eyed Trouser Snake Rumba" back to basics for Best Heavy-boogie-rock, crushing the passage all the title contenders this year. It's heavy and groovy at the same time.
The pressure goes down with "Earth and Water Song " first romantic ballad folk, acoustic, bearing the indelible mark of Frampton, gradually wears a vest (not coat, c ' is not the same ) Power.
We leave in the crude with "I'm Ready " recovery overused by Willie Dixon, who nevertheless transpires here as the pie that the Chicago-blues most filthy, greasy guitars thanks to Peter and Steve, but also incantatory vocals Marriott, supported by Ridley who tears his vocal chords. One of the best in the genre Heavy, Hard-Blues.
"Theme from Skint , another country song, this time sounding more rock.
" Red Light Mama, Red Hot " boogie-rock mid-tempo much fat; guitars gravelly singing inhabited low round and full. Solo reduced to its simplest form (a few well-placed double bends), replaced by a plaintive harmonica, before Frampton declines a pentatonic solo in Hard-style blues. A simple pleasure.
"Sucking On The Sweet Vine," an ode almost bucolic, an acoustic part of an apparent simplicity, with a sensitivity to fleur-de-skin. Break the rock and roll sung by lumberjack Ridley. Jazzy solo Frampton. Beautiful timeless ballad.

With this album, Humble Pie realized in this year of great wines, a great disc. We forgive the bad taste ("Only a Roach"), because the rest is such a level that would be churlish to focus on the only misstep of the album. Especially since the album is provided with an excellent production, perfectly balanced even when the cymbals feature a beautiful definition.
Humble Pie, with this album, was hoisted with ease, at best Rock formations. Moreover, rather than a group of Hard-Rock, Humble Pie was just a rock band strongly influenced by Blues, even rhythm'n'blues and more filigree Gospel (this will gradually influence the magnitude, Marriott was a gran fan of Ray Charles). All played with anger, strength and conviction.

-" In the West, I will pluck your head "(Dvd 2009 ) by Rockin-jl
Voila une chronique un bit special for me, since I'm in love with Amelia, artistically speaking of course, I say to Ma'am Rockin ', with whom I had some trouble following my column on Somi ... So if you think that criticism must be objective does not read me, already I do not consider myself a critic, then the soft warmth I leave it to Drucker and company ..
Behind the name of Amelia pencils hiding Amelia Lyon a singer, and his company, I'm not talking about group or troupe of musicians but artists since the song beyond Amelie and her boys are also in theater, mime, dance, but we will. She has released three CDs to date "Singing Poppies" (2002), "And why pencils " (2004), "La Porte Plume " (2007) and two DVDs: "The around the issue "(2006), and one that interests us today in 2009. should be advised as DVDs instead proposed the show is as visual and loses its charm and magic on CD.
This DVD presents the show in its entirety during the tour in April 2007 to December 2009, point out, new musicians around Amelia from the first DVD, in order to renew. It's a refreshing dive into a world delirious, magical, a total spectacle and original. It was also the aim: to go beyond the texts and songs with sets, costumes, the "piano-door 2 meters high and staged on each title.
The photos accompanying this article are signed by the photographer and blogger Swiss athos99, thank you to him, I invite you to visit his site, especially to see his complete photo gallery of the show in Geneva of Amelia and her record, it is here: http://blog.athos99.com/amelie-les-crayons-en-concert-à-geneve/
The three accomplices are Amelie Longre Olivier, Antoine Amigues and William Clary (above L to R) and they play a multitude of instruments (which I had never heard of for some): guitars, percussion, gongoma, flutes, glockenspiel, clarinet, accordion, mandolin, glockenbass, concertina, about Amelia sings and plays the piano. The interplay between the four is complete, and with the public, true playmate and pretext for improvisation, and not mere stooge we do sing a song out of obligation, Amelia began in street theater and it will feel. " the scene is the basis of everything, that's where I feel best " she said.
It's hard to describe the show, by turns funny, emotional, dreamlike and poetic and often silly, but above all joyful and infectious. If you do not follow from this DVD with a smile and fishing run to the nearest river and take you in (after having left your fortune Deblocnot ', and you do useful work, we will have heating and new computer keyboards, regrdez the men, it is telemnt pouri qu'ne lter on dux PRND ps do!).
Each title is a mini drama, short story or a carefully staged, although it often slips our delight, we came across a gallery of characters, "The skinny , "" The Wanderer "," The lemon "," Doctor my "and then this" Train 3 "non-sensique (the" e train 3 from nowhere and destination is also announced with a delay of 73 years-but what he this train was 3, he not be there - waiting for too many moons, one way ") and then really funny passages as" D e non us "and the game of Amelie zozos with three musicians, or "The wardrobe Elizabeth" and a great time with the public also with the emotion " linen our mothers" or "Little Flame " final, without forgetting the hilarious " the urinals." These guys know how to play and also some final pieces go in instrumentals that sound festive music of Eastern Europe.
In the bonus, a nice documentary on the backstage tour and some amazing stuff as if this band of merry lunatics sing or recite poems with sea.
PS-Sorry, but it's more stronger than me, I can not help but push even a rant: how the girl whose records are covered Reward (Grand Prix Charles Cros prize SACEM, and others) and that delights children and adults who have seen it is not more recognized and why the media focus so little to her. Why do singers like nicknames or Jenifer Lorie or clowns as Gregory and Christophe Maé squat Bercy and fill the airwaves? Finally, it is probably better to play in front of 600 people with a brain that before 20,000 morons ....
Ah yes, another thing she is on a small label, Neômme, do not offer this disc download, do not download it, buy it, it will have a future, thank you. http://www.neomme.com/neomme_shop.htm (13.40 € dvd port included)
"From us no," filmed in La Roche sur Yon:
"The doormat", from the first DVD "The tour of the matter":
Bad Company has trouble adjusting to the 80 and wait three long years for Paul Rodgers, Simon Kirke , Boz Burrell & Mick Ralphs do we find the successor of "Desolation Angels" .
Their sixth album, "Rough Diamonds" out in August 1982 as its predecessor , it was recorded in Surrey, England the studio Ridge Farm. Self-produced by the four musicians, he remains the band's latest album in its original configuration.
Listening to this record, we are still disappointed sacrament from previous productions of the group. Despite a hit single "Electricland" of Paul Rodgers that quite a hit in the U.S. charts, the rest does not really take off, it is soft and lack of energy. The Bad Company seems tired, burnt out and Rough diamonds are not found much in this album ...
Well, stressing a bit, we still appreciate "Painted Face" , under which Paul Rodgers is doing a lot on lead guitar, "Cross Country Boy " quite nervous with brass insured by the inevitable Mel Collins and also funkysant " Downhill Rider with even Paul Rodgers holding the guitar. Besides, we notice that the guitar Mick Ralph s is removal throughout the album and British guitarist seems to freewheel, not at all powerful. While the group tries to resurrect its glorious past by tapping into the British Blues of the 60s with energy and conviction, it does unfortunately emerges as a lame blues "Nothin 'On The TV" ..... The quartet is experiencing a major crisis, and during the recording sessions, and Paul Rodgers Boz Burrell come to blows. Peter Grant, their manager, inconsolable since the death of John Bonham no longer active group and are endless tour, internal tensions and failure (deserved) of the (disappointing) new album that would not even reach the Top 25 in the U.S., will slowly because of this legendary band q ui will separate quietly.
Boz Burrell (RIP), Paul Rodgers, Simon Kirke and Mick Ralphs on stage .... After years of silence, the band reborn from its ashes again in 1986 under the leadership of two former : Simon Kirke and Mick Ralphs , soon joined by bassist Boz Burrell . It Brian Howe , former frontman of Ted Nugent which will take the vacant place of Paul Rodgers , but that's another story ....
"Electric Land" the only title that will climb a little in the U.S. charts .. ..
Danny Vaughn, an unknown singer but really impressive ....
