Free Music Review: When Your Ear Grows Teeth
Hit: 4 Stars
I first heard this one in early 1977, and I played that cassette tape until it melted. I knew all about these guys because I had seen them at Winterland in 76, in the middle spot {but, I can't remember who the headliner was that night}. They were really great in concert, and maybe someday a double CD set will become available to prove it to the world.
For me, this is just one of the very best records of the seventies. The Earth Band, was smart and could play long pieces of music that were never boring or tedious. When this Band soared, you felt lucky to be along for the ride.
Years later, when I heard: "Blinded By The Light" by Bruce Springsteen, I thought he had stolen it from The Earth Band. Like Hendrix and "All Along The Watchtower", this version of: "Blinded" is still the real one for my toothy ears.
"Singing The Dolphin Through", "Road To Babylon", "This Side Of Paradise" and "Starbird". It's just one great tune right after another. Manfred and his men had made Albums before this one, and they would go on to make a bunch more in it's wake, but this wave was a crest. For me, it stands alone as one of the greats of the seventies...Put this one in your ears...FOUR STARS !!!
Free Music Review: Nice to see the corrected song sequence-
Hit: 4 Stars
I sold my first LP copy some years ago. I'm not sure why, now. I must have been desperate. So a year or so ago, I bought my second LP copy, used, cheap. This time it included "Spirits in The Night", another decent Springsteen cover, after "Blinded By the Light". The problem was the album sequence (this on the LP, not the CD) They put "Spirits" in the MIDDLE of the best transition between tracks on the album, and one of my favorite transitions on ANY album- between "Road To Babylon" and "This Side of Paradise" - ruining that wonderful transition.
Who's bright idea was THAT LP song placement? SO, last weekend I bought another LP copy of the original configuration, without "Spirits in the Night"...I note that on the CD release, they wised up and moved "Spirits in the Night" almost to the end (only followed by the singles version of "Blinded By the Light").
