I wish I had the vocabulary to describe Andy Fairweather Low’s singing style; but everything I try to use sounds ‘wrong’ and ‘critical’ …. But; there’s another song that captured my attention the first day I played the album, and yesterday found myself subconsciously turning the volume up, in the car …. There are sort of a lot of soulful and gospel-tinged songs, mind you, there’s a bit of blues, there’s a bit of ska, there’s a bit of country, there’s a bit of everything. Gleichzeitig präsentierte Andy Fairweather Low bei jenem "Jools Annual Hootenanny" mit "Got Me A Party Going On" eine Kostprobe seiner neuen Songs, opulent arrangiert von Herrn Hollands blasender Breitseite!

If there is a certificate we’ve missed out on then it’s probably for a 50 metre swim badge at the local swimming baths. Dabei koppelt Fairweather sofort beim Rock'n'Roll "Waiting On The Top" seine Akustische derart pfiffig mit verzerrten Licks, dass man eine komplette Horn-Sektion zu hören glaubt! I asked Paul (Beavis), The Low Riders’ drummer if he’d come and sort of duplicate the drum patterns that I had, and he said yes, and off we went.To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. He hadn’t planned to make another album, but the lockdown had created the situation that he says left him thinking, “Why not?

You don’t have to pay, you know, you can have itfor nothing, just come down and do something, it will be good to see you’, Kingsley said. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice.where to go for a Favourite Song; it’ll come as no surprise that Ska 67 is a prime contender, as it neatly mixes a traditional chunky riff with some guitar based melody which could be from the first Specials album and bizarrely Andy actually sounds authentic as sings like he was an Alpha Boys School alumni!

Sometimes when I review albums I feel obliged to dance around the commerciality of what’s on offer; but here Andy Fairweather Low goes out of his way to create massive melodies that are eminently danceable and add them to uber-hooks and monster riffs on songs that need to be listened to as there are stories in there that will appeal to grown ups the world over. In "Ska 67" erweist sich der fast 75-Jährige als ernsthafte Madness-Konkurrenz, und signalisiert dabei lyrisch sein Durchhaltevermögen: "Nobody gets to turn my lamp down low" - auch hier wieder mit wehmütiger Evergreen-Anleihe!

After an interval of sixteen years, here he is again at his sweet and soulful musical best with the kind of record that will surely delight his fans. After an interval of 16 years, here he is again at his sweet and soulful musical best with the kind of record that will surely delight his fans. Die ansteckende Tanznummer "99 Ways" glänzt mit derart silbenreicher, witziger Fabulierkunst, dass man Rap einfach nie braucht. Never a huge singles collector I also bought Andy Fairweather Low’s 45, Wide Eyed and Legless; and that’s probably where our paths ceased to cross until now.

Wobei der sensibel-siedende Drummer das Kompliment etwa an seine beherzte Besenarbeit auf der Snare bescheiden von sich weist: "Ich brauchte wirklich nur die heißen Rhythmen auf seinen Demos nachzuahmen, aller Beifall gebührt Andy! The solo albums like the classic Spider Jiving, the incredible out put of superb songs, to these days with his own band The Low Riders.Fairweather Low comes at you straight out of the gates with Waiting On The Up; a neat and tidy song about ‘still waiting for success’ which I presume to be ‘tongue in cheek’ and the poppy gait reminds me of any or all Nick Lowe songs; but with the addition of Andy’s distinctive vocals which haven’t changed a tiny bit since the mid 60’s. which must mean ‘something’ and that was Got Me a Party which shuffles along like a steam train; and the irony laden story itself typifies the ‘fun, fun, fun’ spirit of the whole album … so (for today anyway) this is my Favourite Song. I was due to be at the studio with another band when Andy was actually recording this fabulous album. don’t get me wrong; I’m a Music Snob and revel in such albums that sometimes need Poirot or Vera to unravel the mysteries therein; but sometimes I just crave music that is …. Andy is without one of the greatest artists this country has ever produced from those early years with Amen Corner, through touring the world with Eric Clapton and Roger Waters.
