Link Wray - Link Wray

"Link Wray" è uno dei ritorni più ispirati e genuini della storia del rock, un album che segna un passaggio, quello dall'egemonia della British Invasion alla stagione frammentata e idiosincratica degli anni settanta. Insomma: un classico.

Negli anni cinquanta Link Wray era uno dei più radicali chitarristi di una scena rock strumentale vivace e in crescita, nel 1971 invece viveva nella fattoria di famiglia e nessuna major aveva intenzione di bussare alla porta di un quarantaduenne nativo americano. Eppure “Link Wray” è uno dei ritorni più ispirati e genuini della storia del rock, un album che segna un passaggio, quello…

Random thing I made.

It's called I Can't Explain, it's about the '60s and '60s music through the eyes of a teenager from the Beatlemania days to hippie stuff, through Woodstock and beyond.

I've written a chapter, and they'll be many more to come.

(chapter 1 only has stuff about the Beatles, but they'll be stuff about other bands later)

The Dave Clark Five - Anyway You Want It (1965)

It’s funny that at one time the Dave Clark Five were second only to the Beatles.  They don’t get much respect, but this tune is an absolute stonker!

"Freddie Mercury was like a very rare gem or a rare painting. There will never be another like him."

"That was the kind, caring and generous one. In private Freddie was very different from the outrageous performer you saw onstage. He was so thoughtful. When we were recording in the Abbey Road studio he used to bring in a big hamper packed full with exotic food including caviar, salmon, different cheeses and his favourite Cristal champagne. In private he really was a lovely and caring man. And his generosity went far beyond his closest friends and fellow workers. Total strangers regularly benefited from his kindness.

If something came up on TV about someone in financial trouble he would send off a cheque anonymously through one of his companies. I remember him sending a cheque off a couple who were out of work and whose house had been repossessed. He did things like that so many times.

He would see something on the news or be told about someone's hardship and immediately reach for a chequebook. He liked real people. He may have been larger than life and one of the world's best performers when he was on stage but in private he was very, very human. It's the old story of the comedian who makes everybody laugh on stage, but off stage has a lot of sadness and sensitivity. You must never believe or be taken by the image."

Dave Clark Five's 4th studio album (and fifth overall) to be released in the US - all in the same year - appeared in stores on 21 December 1964.

Coast to Coast kicked off with "Any Way You Want It," which had been released as a single in October 1964 and peaked at #14. The album peaked at #6 on the Billboard chart, the last time the DC5 would be in the Top Ten in the US (excluding their 1966 "Greatest Hits" compilation, which peaked at #9).

“We’d already toured with the Dave Clark Five in late 1964 and often, to my ears, we blew them off the stage,” said Graham Nash of the Hollies. “I didn’t hang out with Dave – and I didn’t particularly like him. He was aloof and condescending, just a mediocre drummer … They thought they were the Beatles – and they weren’t. Their songs just didn’t cut it … On the last night of the tour, the Dave Clark Five were in the middle of their big number ‘Bits and Pieces’ when Eric Haydock and Peter Quaife, the Kinks’ bass player, took a huge bolt cutter to the stage power and cut those fuckers dead. Served ‘em right.”
