Free Music Review: Supertramp's best post-Hodgson effort 20 years later
Hit: 5 Stars
Supertramp's eighth studio album Brother Where You Bound was released in May of 1985.
The album was the group's first without original member Roger Hodgson whom left the band in September of 1983. As a result, singer and keyboard player Rick Davies was the only original member from the first album left.
This album captures the now four-piece band at the start of a new era, led by Davies and rounded out by veteran members bass player Dougie Thomson, sax player and occasional keyboard player John Helliwell and drummer Bob Siebenberg with help on the first half by session guitarist Marty Walsh.
Bravely discarding the advice and obvious perferences of their critics, they created a masterpiece.
From track one, Supertramp grabs your attention with the gripping, lovelorn suite "Cannonball" which was a Top 30 hit peaking at #26. The track was a classic all in the key of G minor. From there, the band continues with "Still in Love", which is kind of a sequel to 1982's My Kind of Lady. The mysteriously poignant "No Inbetween" is next and the first half ends with the optimistic "Better Days". The former with its piano work and the latter with its driving beat.
The second half is dominated by the 16 and a half minute title track which is one of the band's most accomplished and intriguing songs. The track features ex-Thin Lizzy guitarist Scott Gorman (whom was also Bob Siebenberg's brother in law) on rhythm guitar and Pink Floyd's David Gilmour playing the soaring guitar solos. The ending solo with Gilmour playing with Supertramp is worth purchasing the album alone. His guitar tone on this track would not have sounded out of place on a Pink Floyd album. The album closes with the optimistic glimmers of "Ever Open Door" with just Rick and his keyboards (piano and synthesizers).
Unfortunately, the public turned its back after this promising set. Brother Where You Bound was Supertramp's last album to enter the top 40 peaking at #21 and going Gold but subsequent releases failed miserably. A hard price to pay for such great music as America went for style over substance! Supertramp's next great album after Brother would not be until 2002's Slow Motion which is only available at their website but a great album nonetheless.
Highly recommended!
