Free Music Notes for The Time Is Near...
Free Music Review: Classic from 1970
Hit: 4 Stars
Unless you're my age and were fairly widely educated about music at the time, you missed this, an album that was as good as many more popular LP's and never got the recognition it deserved.
Keef Hartley was (is) a drummer who was mostly known for being with John Mayall's band at various times, but this album is all about Miller Anderson, a talented singer, guitarist and vocalist that drives this music. Keef Hartley was known as a blues artist, but there's nothing here like that at all. Think Blood Sweat and Tears maybe, but better, less smaltzy, more like ensemble jazz with a rock kick. A big sound, biting guitars and horns, fast driving, propelled by a solid backbone. Miller Anderson's voice will grab you right away.
Anyway, check it out and you'll see what I mean. Skip the first two songs and it makes a great set, but in this CD age the running time will seem short. There are a few songs on NW6 and the first album that can be mixed in to your playlist for this band . . . and that's about it.
The liner notes said that they felt for the band, the time was near. It wasn't, as it turned out, but they left a few minutes of solid music for the ages.
The Time Is Near... Poster
2008 digitally remastered edition of this album from the Blues/Jazz Rock band, originally released in 1970. Considered by many to be one of the finest exponents of powerful Jazz Rock, Keef's earliest engagement was as replacement for Ringo Starr in Rory Storm and the Hurricanes. He was also Mick Fleetwood's replacement in John Mayall's Bluesbreakers and featured on many recordings by the band. In 1968 he formed his own group, recruiting the highly regarded Miller Anderson on guitar and vocals. Although they performed at Woodstock the band was not filmed. The Time is Near ranks among the band's finest achievements. Esoteric.Blues Music CDs
