Touched by the grace .....

We talked with some yesterday Z'amis the relative merits of Bon Scott and Brian Johnson and it is true that the vocal talents of these two can lead to efectivement debate (especially the second), but there is one however whose mastery brooks no dissent, Paul Rodgers.

At the time, England came out a good rock band, among them a week and more Free Bad Company, in which two teams will officiate Paul Rodgers. And that's good because the first two Bad Co albums come out of version Deluxe Double Digipack remastered CD. The sound is impeccable, perfect to appreciate the true value of their classy blues rock with this beautiful song, so simple and yet so right, Paul Rodgers. Over time, lese majesty, I have come to prefer these first two albums Bad Co the first two Led Zep, because if Jimmy Page is still one of my favorite guitar players, I have always found Robert Plant n was not a singer so extraordinary that a notice (staff) who do not improve with time ....

Released in 1974, this album will be the first signing of Swan Song, the label precisely created by Led Zeppelin. A wise choice they renew in 1975 with the publication of "Straight Shooter", their second album. The first CD contains the entire original vinyl, while the second adds some B-sides of 45s ("Little Miss Fortune," "Easy on my soul", "superstar woman") as well as alternative jacks excellent bill.

"Seagul" remains my favorite album title. Few pieces make me this end there ... the proximity to the sea, no doubt .... A rank in my personal pantheon alongside of "Simple Man" by Lynyrd Skynyrd, "Little help from my friends" and Joe Cocker some others ...
