OK, how many of you lot have heard Badger? One live Badger - the debut LP recorded whilst supporting Yes at the Rainbow, with some great soulful,funk prog. OR White Lady - the second LP, which was a real progression, moving into areas of white soul with wonderful melodies and Jeff Beck on guitar. What d'ya know.....what d'ya say??????????
I'll give you a clue....you might have heard of the keyboard player...... -------------

Yeah One Live Badger. Great Roger Dean cover. I remember a friend had it. This was way back. Got a track somewhere I downloaded. I'll give it a listen. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Snow_Dog" rel="nofollow">

| One live badger was fantastic- what a debut. Shame they never continued. I think Squire had something to do with the production, from memory. Definitely the best Dean coverwork. |

That was the memory I had of the album heard after a long lunchtime down the pub in the ealry 70's - nearly 30 years later I get the hear the album again,and I'm afraid the memory had been false. I hear medicore Hammond drive , R'n'B influenced rock sounding like many other bands of that period. Perhaps explains why Wakeman was brought into Yes - it was reported at the time Kaye was reluctant to shift to synths, and Wakeman brought far more colour and ideas to the group. |
