Yeah I like it a lot too. Very 'soft rock' sound to it, I like that. One of my favorite albums by them for sure.

The ones I have are those two, and Ashes are Burning itself, plus the Live at Carnegie Hall... once again, I believe the live versions are better than the originals... there's not much difference, really, the songs only sound more lively or something... except for Ashes are Burning itself, which is about 10 min long on the album, but is streched to 24 minutes live, though mostly because of some extended jamming in the middle, and an extended final passage... but the thing is, as I said, thay had this electric guitar in studio, and since they didn't have an electric guitar player, Annie just took that part to herself with some incredible and chilling vocalizations. You should really check it out.

No. I've just heard Turn of the Cards and Scheherazade and other Stories. I like both a lot, but I'll have to check out Ashes are Burning next. I agree with you, her voice is so good

I think you've explained your rationale quite well. As for Bill, it was Savoy Brown, unless someone out there would like to correct me.

I don't know anything with absolute certainty, including that I don't know anything with absolute certainty. I enjoy it -- at least I think I enjoy it, or I think that I think that I enjoy it.... Or I don't think at all. As for Bruford, I don't remember reading anything about that before, but I might have. Maybe this is all a dream, but whose dream, I wonder?

I like Front Page News, but it's a pop album.

Those first three WA albums have some great stuff. I haven't found much of their work after Argus that really grabs me.

Pilgrimage has been my first WA purchase. Vas Dis is really a great track but I agree that Argus is their best.

^ Have you heard that song in both versions? And yeah, her voice is just something else. Definitley my favourite female singers, and one of my 3 favourite singers overall.

The only connection to their music that I have heard is the guitar solo from the guitar player on the song Ashes are Burning from Renaissance... though I much prefer the 20+ min version of the song in which those guitars were replaced by some wonderful vocalizations from Annie. |

Argus is a solid album , and so are the first two.....fine bluesy rock with some folk and even some jazzy overtones at times. I recall buying the first one at college because I liked the cover and name . Pilgrimage and of course Argus were even more popular. I thought they lost their edge on the later albums though there are some decent tracks here and there on the later ones.

It was Argus; already answered. Interesting observation though; that description could apply to either one. Both great albums.

I found the old cassette tape in the garage! It was a C120, so is probably unplayable now. Looks like I managed to squeeze in the following on the 'Best of' selection I home-taped from my old vinyls:
Blind Eye/Lady Whiskey/Phoenix/The Pilgrim/Jailbait/Time Was/Sometime World/Blowing Free/The King Will Come/Leaf and Stream/Warrior/Throw Down the Sword/Ballad of the Beacon/Persephone/Outward Bound/Stand and Deliver/In the Skin. Definitely Argus-heavy and nowadays I'd have added some extra earlier and latter tracks too - but in those days you were definitely limited by the cassette tape length and not the system storage space! |
