The Calling - Camino Palmero
Average one. Gems of this album are Unstoppable and Wherever You Will Go.
The rest is not as memorable but is nice to listen to.


Nirvana - Nevermind
Enjoyable album with famous Smells Like Teen Spirit. But there are other very good tracks on it like In Bloom. Worth listening to.


Hanoi Rocks - Oriental Beat
Maybe slightly better than their previous one but it's still weak. Nothing interesting or catchy. I didn't like it.


Short Cross - Arising
Thanks to Mr. Wojciech Mann I discovered this guys and I'm very glad I did. They recorded a solid piece of rock. Unfortunately it's their only album. It's a shame they didn't gained any attention.


Dead by Sunrise - Out Of Ashes
I was waiting for a long time for this one. I like it though I've expected it to be better. Still, it's very good and songs like Fire, Crawl Back In and Let Down are amazing. Chester's vocal has always been my favorite.


Electric Light Orchestra - ELO 2
I was surprised. From what I remembered I didn't like their first one too much but I really enjoyed ELO 2. Especially anti-war song Kuiama. I must listen to their previous album one more time cause I think I missed something then.

Hace un par de semanas fuímos con unos amigos a hacer una excursión en coche.
A mi, que soy sensible al tópico de la ruta 66, me apeteció grabar un cd de música que girara alrededor de esa idea.
Se muy bien que conducir al pirineo un fin de semana no es precisamente huir y dejarlo atrás pero precisamente por eso elegí, antes que nada, "Road signs always look better looking over your shoulder" como título del cd.

El título es de una canción de defiance, ohio:

she'd like to pack her bags and run away, and never look back[..]
because to run away is victory, a tank of gas is freedom, and a starry night and open road is hope.

Mucha gente interpreta la canción de manera literal, pero yo no puedo imaginarme a Defiance, Ohio tan faltos de ironia.
En cualquier caso me la imagino con esa ironia de "sabemos que no es cierto pero no es encantaria". Una ironia llena de morriña.

Ya tenia el marco conceptual pero que seria una lista de reproducción sin unas cuantas normas arbitrarias?

1.Tópicos si. Lo más tópico no:
Que para eso ya hay recopilatorios hechos por otra gente (spotify esta lleno).

2. Norteamerica:
Eso incluye EEUU, Canadá y Méjico, desgraciadamente aunque están Pat Travers y Danko Jones por Canada no tengo ni idea de hard rock mejicano, si alguien tiene alguna sugerencia estaré encantado de oirla.

3. No más de una canción por grupo:
Esa norma me parece básica de cualquier mixtape y además no queria hacer un grandes éxitos de Bruce Springsteen.

4. Tenia que gustar a todos:
Aunque el tópico incluye ir solo y en harley no era el caso. Así que tenia que pensar en mis compañeros de viaje, nada de una hora seguida de Black Sabbath.

5. Tenia que caber en un cd de audio:
74 min. apurando al máximo.


La selección pues quedó así:

1. Railroad Man de Blackfoot
Blackfoot los descubri de casualidad. O bien yo no me enteré en su momento por ser pequeño o este grupo de southern rock no llegó a españa por segundón. Supongo que pasa con la música muy local que grupos que en su zona són muy famosos lo tienen dificil fuera. Dr Obvious!

2. Don't Ask Me No Questions de Lynyrd Skynyrd
Vale, todo el mundo conoce a Lynyrd Skynyrd pero sweet home alabama no es para tanto, esta me gusta más.

3. Shenandoah de Bread and Roses
Es un arreglo sobre una canción tradicional. Si no me equivoco la vall del riu vermell, de colonias de toda la vida, sale de una fuente parecida. Las canciones de carretera también son muy de colonias.

4. This life de Curtis Stigers & The Forest Rangers
Es la canción principal de sons of anarchy[/ur] serie que recomiendo un montón (ron perlman!)

5. Here's looking at you, kid de The Gaslight Anthem
Si alguien me pidiera que le explicara cual es la parte de Bruce Springsteen que más me gusta le hablaria de Gaslight Anthem. Todo lo bueno de Springsteen sin nada de lo malo.

6. Atlatic City de Bruce Springsteen
Aunque me queje, Springsteen me gusta, y Nebraska es genial. Esta canción es la que más me gusta de el ahora mismo.

7. Are you gonna be my girl de Jet
La cagué, resulta que Jet son australianos, de melbourne. Lo descubrí justo antes de grabar el cd y decidí que en australia también tienen muchas carreteras y que colaba.

8. Mama Tried de Merle Haggard
Hay poco country en este cd porque no sabia si a mis compañeros de viaje les gustaria. Luego resultó que si, pero bueno, eran solo 74 min igualmente.
Haggard además es realmente outlaw country y mola mucho.
Hay una anecdota que me encanta. Siendo Haggard famoso se le acercó a Cash y le dijo. Yo estaba en el segundo concierto de San Quentin a lo que Cash le responde. "Si? no sabia que estabas entre los músicos" "no, estaba entre el público".
No es excatamente And I turned twenty-one in prison doing life without parole como en la canción pero al menos sabia de que iba.

9. Road signs always look better over your shoulder de Defiance, Ohio
Da título al cd. Habla de huir, de la esclavitud del trabajo, de carretera y de soluciones fáciles. Es de esas canciones que hacen llorar.

10. Jenny de The Mountain Goats
Y para seguir con la sección de llorera del cd. Esta canción me hace llorar de lo bonita que me parece. Si bien en la anterior la huída no es posible, el deposito acaba vaciandose. En esta parece que el protagonista realmente escape. Vaya hacia el sol poniente para siempre.
Posiblemente la falta de ironia y que la cante Darnielle hace que sea más de llorera.

11. Homesick de Atlanta Rhythm Section
La guitarra del principio esta canción es justo en lo que pienso cuando pienso en rock de carretera.

12. Forget my name de Danko Jones
Me apetecia poner alguna cosa distinta en el cd, alguna demostracion de que el aun hay buen hard rock. La letra es risible, como la mayoria de las de Danko Jones, pero la guitarra es genial.

13. Can't pay de bill de The Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band
Reverend Peyton saben lo que es carretera y aunque musicalmente tiran mucho más hacia el blues que ningún otro en este cd esta canción tiene un ritmo que me encanta. Además no puedo evitar una oportunidad para demostrar mi respeto por esta gente.

14. Fortunate son de Creedence Clearwater Revival
Casi toda la discografia de CCR queda fuera por la regla nº 1. Sin embargo esta canción tiene una de las mejores letras jamás escritas y por eso no me resistí a ponerla:
Some folks inherit star spangled eyes, Ooh, they
send you down to war

15. If love was a train de Michelle Shocked
El título es tópico pero Michelle Shocked es tan injustamente desconocida que sigue cumpliendo la regla 1.

16. Black Bettyde Pat Travers
Cover de cover de cover de Lead Belly. Lead belly me gusta mucho más pero no entraba por estilo. De las covers esta es la que más me gusta.

17. Baby please don't go de Aerosmith
Antes de que nadie me fusile que escuche entero [album]Honkin' on Bobo. Un disco entero de covers de blues genial.

18. Ball and biscuit de The White Stripes
No habria pensado en White Stripes para este recopilatorio pero de repente me asaltó un recuerdo de esta guitarra que me hace pensar un montón en carretras.

19. Firefly - Main Title de Sonny Rhodes
Entre las muchas cosas que hay que agradecerle a Josh Wedon esta haber escrito la letra de la intro de Firefly y haver recuperado a Sonny Rhodes.

20. Ace of Spades de Hayseed Dixie
Vale, esto es casi trampa. Me apetecia mucho poner Ace of Spades pero Motörhead son ingleses. Hayseed Dixie además me gustan mucho y eran muy adecuados.

21. La Grange de ZZ Top
Que barbas! Que riff!

22. Like the 309 de Johnny Cash
Esta es la última canción que escribio Cash. Habla sobre trenes y muerte. Habla sobre la vida en la carretera. Es una manera mucho más resignada que triste de acabar un cd basado en un sueño que se sabe imposible y algo infantil pero para nada menos deseable.

Ein Traum wird wahr, der ZZ Top Rockpalast-Gig in der Grugahalle Essen 1980 - der Grund, warum ich seit 29 Jahren in einer ZZ Top Coverband spiele - auf einer offiziellen DVD, erhältlich ab dem 16.10.2009 bei Amazon:

http://www.amazon.de/ZZ-Top-Double-Down-Rockpalast/dp/B002LFIZA4/

Bei Rockpalastarchiv.de kann man sich die interessanten Erinnerungen von Peter Rüchel zu diesem Konzert durchlesen:

http://www.rockpalastarchiv.de/dvd/zztop.html



Die Frage, ob die den guten Radio-Stereoton vom WDR Hörfunk genommen oder den nicht so guten Fernseh-Monoton zu Dolby Digital 5.1 verwurstet haben, wurde am 12.10.2009 beantwortet: Der britische Vertrieb Eagle Rock hat sechs Videos auf seine YouTube-Seite hochgeladen, und zwar jeweils LA Grange, Just Got Paid und Jesus Just Left Chicago von 1980 und von 2008. Hier der Link zur entsprechenden Playlist:

http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=0EC9CA5668FA1F52

Es ist also der Stereo-Radioton zu hören, womit sich diese DVD von den üblichen Bootlegs meilenweit unterscheidet, denn auch das Bild ist sagenhaft gut - für die damals mögliche Aufzeichungsqualität. Auf der zweiten DVD sind verschiedene Live-Auftritte der Europa-Tournee von 2008 dabei, die sich anscheinend nicht sehr von ihrer letzten "Live in Texas" DVD unterscheiden. Fazit: Unbedingt KAUFEN!







Übrigens: Die Rodgaus waren ja bekanntermaßen auch im Publikum und schwenkten ihr Plakat "Rodgau Monotones grüssen ZZ Top", was man besonders gut bei "La Grange" sehen kann:



Hier der offizielle Infotext von Eagle Rock TV:

"Double Down Live is a 2 DVD set from ZZ Top combining shows from 1980 and 2008. Disc one was filmed at the Grugahalle in Essen, Germany for the Rockpalast TV series. Hot on the heels of their classic Degüello album (it features 9 of the 10 songs from it) the show finds ZZ Top before sequencers and synthesizers epitomising their lil ol blues band from Texas nickname. Complimented by tracks drawn predominantly from their Tres Hombres and Fandango! albums this is a true best of ZZ Top in the seventies.

Disc Two was shot during their European tour in 2008 and combines great live performances, interview clips and back stage footage to create the ultimate ZZ Top on the road movie. With nearly 30 years between the performances the two disc set gives a fascinating then and now insight into what has maintained the ZZ Top live phenomenon.

Dire Straits - Love Over Gold
Very nice album with amazing guitar playing of Mark Knopfler. This music creates pleasant atmosphere while you listen to it. Telegraph Road has charming guitar parts (especially at the end).


The Kinks - Preservation Act 1
It's one of these albums that you listen to and then forget it. Their previous albums were more interesting. Songs that are quite good are Demolition and One Of The Survivors.


Aerosmith - Aerosmith
Very good debut. Before I listened to this I had known only few of their new stuff. I must say that Dream On really impressed me. It's got this fabulous, haunting chorus.


Warrant - Cherry Pie
It can't be surprise that my favorite track from this album is Cherry Pie but the rest is OK too, with Uncle Tom's Cabin on the second position. They play very energetic and crazy music. And the last track is really funny idea.


Whitesnake - Saints & Sinners
They are better and better with every next album. The music on this one is very enjoyable. And how could I not mention the first version of famous Here I Go Again? Really good stuff.

Uriah Heep - Sweet Freedom
