The Album Review Club - Week #194 (page 1303) - Ants From Up There - Black Country, New Road

[bennyboy]

2 picks in a row that i owed but had not listened to in decades.
Pleasantly surprised by the 2 high scores from myself.
Listened to Spear of Destiny....One Eyed Jacks and again i really enjoyed that as well.
Anyway travelling down for the game on Sunday i can see TSBM and SOD getting me through the journey.

Well, it turned out that I was wrong, and once again, I apologise to @FogBlueInSanFran if my over-enthusiasm dented the reaction and scoring in the end. However, The Screaming Blue Messiah's Gun-Shy did manage to scrape into the top 20 on the back of 14 votes with a very healthy average of 7.04. That's the 22nd album to hit the magic 7 mark.

Based on what he's threatened, I've got my stetson and banjo ready as we await this week's nomination from @Mancitydoogle .....

Most of you will be pleased to know my Country nomination is one for the future.

I’m out and about so there maybe sometime responding to guesses.

Do/enjoy? it while you still can in your 30's. Trust me, it won't be pretty north of 55.

"Never again", LOL... ;-)

Yeah, my math is still good since The Midnight (listening now, BTW).

Words of wisdom before you hit that milestone. ;-)

Well done you’ve got the artist

first album clue

 

[Black&White&BlueMoon Town]

Ian Hunter - You're Never Alone with a Schizophrenic

Has to be this, produced by Mick Ronson and.....

The album featured members of Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band as the backing band

And has the ORIGINAL version of "Cleveland Rocks"!

To be juxtaposed with Randy Newman's "Burn On".

Kind of like Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Sweet Home Alabama" vs. Neil Young's "Alabama", a topic we've discussed with the DBTs.

Assuming you're right, I definitely remember either owning or hearing this record in the long, long ago. Will be fun to revisit.
