Joey Molland Review

This Way Up / Demos Old And New
Gonzo
I quite likes his last album, “Return To Memphis”, saying that “take on classic rock meets Memphis soul had its moments”, and off the back of that release, he’s had a root around in his cupboard, and come up with a reissue and some old tapes. 

“This Way Up” is actually very enjoyable, and it’s one that a lot of Badfinger fans would relate to. If they missed it when it came out in 2001, they should do themselves a favour and catch up with some excellent tuneage such as ‘Happy’, the very Beatlesbandey ‘This Must Be Love’ and the fabulous closer ‘Isn’t That a Dream’. Seriously, it’s good.

“Demos Old And New”, however, is a different beast, and one for those who have to have absolutely everything. With songs from the seventies, eighties and nineties, it ranges all over the place in genre, quality and sound. But stick with “This Way Up” , and you’ll be fine.

...BECAUSE SOME OF US THINK THAT THIS STUFF IS IMPORTANT
What happens when you mix what is - arguably - the world's most interesting record company, with an anarchist manic-depressive rock music historian polymath, and a method of dissemination which means that a daily rock-music magazine can be almost instantaneous?

Most of this blog is related in some way to the music, books and films produced by Gonzo Multimedia, but the editor has a grasshopper mind and so also writes about all sorts of cultural issues which interest him, and which he hopes will interest you as well.
