Some musicians surprise us by doing what they should not have done. For instance, Talk Talk shocked us this way – yes, you heard the story before in here, but I like that tale. They had an opportunity to do anything they wanted, which they transformed into both Spirit Of Eden and Laughing Stock. One continues to be baffled by how they changed their previous styles, even though one can notice the traces of that in the previous records. Sure, they were not as pronounced as they could've been, but they were there. Moreover, their post-rock continues to be stronger than that of a lot of players in this genre. The thing is I believe Talk Talk used the emotional palette the style provides more than many who followed them.

【今日のレコード】DUFFY POWER/Innovations
イノベーションというタイトルに意欲を感じる、夏にも聴けるブリティシュ・ブルース!
https://sorc.theshop.jp/items/76009774
当時にしては少しポップだったのか、他の名だたる英国ブルースロックの中では知名度が低いのでは?と思うのですが、音を聴くに当時にしては少しポップだったのかな?という気も…。65年録音71年リリースというのもその辺の事情があったかしら。そう思うとこの時代の先取り感はタイトル通りでもあります!暑いときに避けたい気分になるのがブルースロックでもありますが、このアルバムは何故かクールというか涼し気!?参加ミュージシャンも豪華だし、シュールなジャケも魅惑です。

Album Review: The Richard Thompson Acoustic Trio - Live from Honolulu
Richard Thompson is obviously the attraction. But the other members of his eponymous Acoustic Trio - double bassist Danny Thompson (no relation) and percussionist (not drummer) Michael Jerome - are essential to Live from Honolulu’s success.
Spanning 13 tracks recorded in an unknown year, the LP finds the rhythm section providing intricate but solid flooring for Thompson’s robust acoustic guitar and vocals. Each gets a short solo in the penultimate cut, “Shoot out the Lights,” but the fact is, Danny Thompson and Jerome are essentially soloing throughout the 75-minute runtime.
Replete with low-key audience participation and Thompson’s wry, between-song banter, the release mirrors a full show. And perhaps it is; background info is nonexistent.
In any event, the Acoustic Trio is equally engrossing whether playing aggressive tracks like “Dad’s Gonna Kill Me,” intelligent-yet-whimsical numbers such as “Hots for the Smarts” or masterful compositions like “(I Want to See) The Bright Lights Tonight.”
The small audience is obviously wowed as they break in to mid-song applause after the players’ copious inhuman interludes and cheer lustily after each number.
It’s a nifty trick when virtuosos show off their skills without actually showing off. That restraint may be Live from Honolulu’s biggest draw.
Grade card: The Richard Thompson Acoustic Trio - Live from Honolulu - B+

I think some musicians get burned out thanks to them being called those who surprise us. I mean, check Peter Gabriel for instance. While he might finally release his next album, the current state of his career found him in a strange stasis in a way. Up, for instance, still his latest LP of original material, feels like a struggle. However, we should notice Gabriel probably intended the album to be this way thanks to the themes he discusses, i.e. they deserve to be told with solemnity and a lack of easiness. Moreover, there's nothing wrong with Up per se, but Peter Gabriel used to be more unexpected – where did that go? Did his success send him on the path he continues to tread, the path of a well-respected elder everyone visits for his old songs?
