Released the week of B.B. King's 80th birthday, 80 is a starstudded duets album, the first B.B. released since 1997's Deuces Wild. It was recorded in a variety of locations in the spring of 2005 and features a variety of guest artists, ranging from the familiar (Van Morrison, Eric Clapton, Bobby Bland) to the unsurprising (Billy Gibbons, Mark Knopfler, Elton John, Sheryl Crow) to the frankly bewildering (John Mayer, Daryl Hall, Gloria Estefan). Unfortunately, the material isn't quite as wideranging in fact, it leans toward the overly familiar, with a pleasant, thoroughly bland version of "The Thrill Is Gone" with Eric Clapton sadly living up to its title. There are a couple other bum tracks most notably the turgid slow blues "There Must Be a Better World Somewhere," which drags on for an interminable seven minutes, or a full six minutes longer than needed to prove that sultry blues is not Gloria Estefan's forte but for the most part, 80 plays better than it reads on paper. Most of it is solid, straightahead big band blues, firmly within B.B.'s comfort zone and sounding appropriately comfortable not as in boring, but warm, relaxed, and friendly, whether he's playing with old friends like Bobby Bland or with John Mayer, who acquits himself well as a guitarist, even if his voice is overwhelmed by B.B.'s towering presence. There are couple of nice little surprises along the way, such as how "Ain't Nobody Home" with Daryl Hall works up a nice soulful groove or how Sheryl Crow reveals that she's a convincing blues singer (there are also some unpleasant surprises, as on "Tired of Your Jive," an otherwise fine track that's derailed by the realization that Billy Gibbons' voice has been torn to shreds, leaving a phlegmy mess behind), but the best moments come from the old guard of the British Invasion. Roger Daltrey proves that he's singing better than ever with "Never Make Your Move Too Soon," Elton John and his house band really cook on a terrific "Rock This House," but it's Van Morrison who steals the show with "Early in the Morning," a clean but downanddirty version of the standard. It's the best thing here, but it's unfortunate that it kicks off the album, since it suggests that this might be a harderhitting blues album than normal from B.B. It's not it's a slick, stylish, professional record, one that's actually a little more straightforward than he's been at any time since, well, Deuces Wild. Coming after some truly interesting records over the last few years, the predictability of 80 is a bit of a disappointment, but there's still a bunch of good stuff to hear, and, no matter how you look at it, for B.B. to be recording and still sounding vital at 80 is a remarkable thing even if the album that commemorates his birthday falls short of the remarkable itself.

хорошо бы и к своим релизам инфу давал... а то логи да куи, куи да логи

OlCh
Инфу дал релизер (nikanuf), а я просто перенес ее в отдельный пост, чтобы не засорять оформление на главной. Я перестал просить об этом релизеров, проще самому сделать. Что касаемо моих релизов... Ну скажи на милость, нужна еще какая-то инфа по тому же Nils'у, Golub'у, Levin'у, и т.д.? Недостаточно одних имен и года? Это все равно, что писать анонс на Планта или Пинк Флойд.
Разумеется, если что-то уж совсем неизвестное или малоизвестное - инфа предоставляется "в полном об'еме".

я лично только о Левине слыхал! и то только из-за Кримсонов...

OlCh
A "Голубей" не ты сам выкладывал?

ну да, просмотрел
ну а

ну позор на мои седые волосы, но кто они такие?
да и дело разве во мне одном? неужели кому-то интересно в куи смотреть? да и в логи от давно известного релизёра?
написал бы хотя бы, к примеру: Голуб хорошо идёт тихим вечерком, под красное вино, с любимой женщиной.... И всем всё ясно, что за музыка
а то

или

нафига эти риплейгейны смотреть в топике - не понимаю
по-любому - вторично

Hello!

This is a great release! Is it possible to shra it again?

Best regards
