Nuevo disco de Paul McCartney, "McCartney, lll"

https://ydray.com/get/l/ru16088983200641/r2jo1ZKgbsL

McCartney III es el décimo octavo álbum de estudio del músico británico Paul McCartney, publicado el 18 de diciembre de 2020 por la compañía discográfica Capitol Records.​ Sirve como continuación de sus dos primeros álbumes en solitario, McCartney (1970) y McCartney II (1980), y al igual que dichos trabajos, está producido e interpretado por él solo. McCartney III fue grabado a inicios de 2020 en Sussex, Inglaterra. Describiendo el proceso de grabación del álbum, McCartney dijo: "Todos los días me ponía a grabar con el instrumento con el que escribí la canción y después ponerle más capas gradualmente; fue muy divertido. Era sobre hacer música para ti en vez de hacerlo como trabajo. Así que, solo hice las cosas que me imaginé hacer. No tenía idea de que terminaría como un álbum". Como los dos anteriores álbumes de nombre McCartney, el trabajo instrumental fue grabado por el mismo McCartney. ​ De forma similar, él tocó casi todos los instrumentos en su álbum de 2005 Chaos and Creation in the Backyard. Tras el lanzamiento del álbum, fue descrito por el periodista David Hajdu como, "esencialmente, McCartney III". ​ McCartney también tocó todos los instrumentos él mismo en Rushes y Electric Arguments, ambos álbumes bajo el nombre de The Fireman. La portada y tipografía del álbum fueron hechas por el artista Edward Ruscha, un cercano a la familia McCartney.

McCartney III is the 18th solo album by English musician Paul McCartney, released on 18 December 2020 by Capitol Records. It serves as a continuation to his two eponymous solo albums, McCartney (1970) and McCartney II (1980). Like those albums, McCartney III features McCartney on all instruments. The album was met with widespread acclaim from music critics. McCartney III was recorded in early 2020 in Sussex, England at McCartney's home while in lockdown amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Describing the process of recording the album, McCartney said: "Each day I’d start recording with the instrument I wrote the song on and then gradually layer it all up; it was a lot of fun. It was about making music for yourself rather than making music that has to do a job. So, I just did stuff I fancied doing. I had no idea this would end up as an album." Like previous McCartney albums, the instrumental work is recorded by McCartney himself. He similarly performed most of the instruments on his 2005 album Chaos and Creation in the Backyard (described at the time by journalist David Hajdu as being "essentially, McCartney III") and on his 2007 album Memory Almost Full. McCartney also played all the instruments himself on Rushes and Electric Arguments under the name The Fireman. The album's cover art and typography was designed by artist Ed Ruscha, an acquaintance of the McCartney family.

Muere Leslie West a los 75 años

                                                          

 

Leslie West (Leslie Weinstein; Nueva York, 22 de octubre de 1945–22 de diciembre de 2020)1​ fue un guitarrista, cantante y compositor estadounidense. Fue popular por haber sido uno de los miembros fundadores de la banda de hard rock Mountain.​ Falleció a los 75 años de edad el 22 de diciembre de 2020 por complicaciones de problemas cardiacos https://ydray.com/get/l/Pj16088956231011/bhAQLeN47cp.​

 

Leslie West (born Leslie Weinstein; October 22, 1945 – December 22, 2020) was an American rock guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter. He was best known as a founding member and co-lead vocalist of the hard rock band Mountain. West was born in New York City to Jewish parents, but grew up in Hackensack, New Jersey, and in East Meadow, New York, Forest Hills, New York, and Lawrence, New York. After his parents divorced, he changed his surname to West. His musical career began with the Vagrants, an R&B/blue-eyed soul-rock band influenced by the likes of the Rascals that was one of the few teenage garage rock acts to come out of the New York metropolitan area itself (as opposed to the Bohemian Greenwich Village scene of artists, poets, and affiliates of the Beat Generation, which produced bands like The Fugs and The Velvet Underground). The Vagrants had two minor hits in the Eastern United States; 1966's "I Can't Make a Friend" and a cover of Otis Redding's "Respect" the following year. Some of the Vagrants' recordings were produced by Felix Pappalardi, who was also working with Cream on their album Disraeli Gears. In 1969, West and Pappalardi formed the pioneering hard rock act Mountain, which was also the title of West's debut solo album. Rolling Stone identified the band as a "louder version of Cream". With Steve Knight on keyboards and original drummer N. D. Smart, the band appeared on the second day of the Woodstock Festival on Saturday, August 16, 1969 starting an 11-song set at 9 pm. The band's original incarnation saw West and Pappalardi sharing vocal duties and playing guitar and bass, respectively. New drummer Corky Laing joined the band shortly after Woodstock. They had success with "Mississippi Queen", which reached No. 21 on the Billboard charts and No. 4 in Canada. It was followed by the Jack Bruce -penned "Theme For an Imaginary Western". Mountain is one of the bands considered to be forerunners of heavy metal. After Pappalardi left Mountain to concentrate on various production projects, West and Laing produced two studio albums and a live release with Cream bassist Jack Bruce under the name West, Bruce and Laing. West, along with keyboard player Al Kooper of Blood, Sweat & Tears, recorded with The Who during the March 1971 Who's Next New York sessions. Tracks included a cover of Marvin Gaye's "Baby Don't You Do It," and early versions of "Love Ain't For Keepin'" and The Who's signature track "Won't Get Fooled Again". Though the tracks were not originally included on the album (recording restarted in England a few months later without West or Kooper), they appear as bonus tracks on the 1995 and 2003 reissues of Who's Next and on the 1998 reissue of Odds & Sods. Mountain reformed in 1973 only to break up again in late 1974. West had acting roles in Family Honor (1973) and The Money Pit (1986). West also played guitar for the track "Bo Diddley Jam" on Bo Diddley's 1976 20th Anniversary of Rock 'n' Roll all-star album. Since 1981, Mountain has continued to reform, tour and record on a regular basis. West teamed up with Ian Gillan of Deep Purple fame, to co-write and play guitar on the song "Hang Me Out To Dry" from the Gillan album ToolBox, released in Europe in 1991. West and Joe Bonamassa recorded Warren Haynes' "If Heartaches Were Nickels" together. West released it on Guitarded (2005), and Bonamassa on A New Day Yesterday (2000). In May 1987, West played the band leader in a series of late night pilot shows for Howard Stern on the FOX network. He taped a total of five shows with Stern, which never aired. Stern went on to form a new show dubbed the Channel 9 show without West. West continued to make occasional appearances on radio, notably on Stern's radio show. West contributed the music and co-wrote the lyrics to the song "Immortal" on Clutch's 2001 album Pure Rock Fury, which was a reworked cover of the song "Baby I'm Down" from West's first album. In 2005 he contributed to Ozzy Osbourne's Under Cover album, performing guitar on a remake of "Mississippi Queen". In addition to fronting Mountain, West continued to record and perform on his own. His solo album, entitled Blue Me, was released in 2006 on the Blues Bureau International label. West was inducted into the Long Island Music Hall of Fame on October 15, 2006. In 2007, Mountain released Masters of War on Big Rack Records, an album featuring 12 Bob Dylan covers that saw Osbourne providing guest vocals on a rendition of the title track. West married his fiancée Jenni Maurer on stage after Mountain's performance at the Woodstock 40th anniversary concert in Bethel, New York (August 15, 2009). A concert crowd of over 15,000 people was present, as West and Maurer were wed under a canopy of upraised electric guitars. On June 20, 2011, West had his lower right leg amputated as a result of complications from diabetes. West made his first public appearance after his surgery on August 13, 2011. In 2014, West was a guest performer on Eli Cook's album, Primitive Son. His 2015 album, Soundcheck, peaked at number 2 By the late 1970s, West was recovering from addiction to heroin, morphine, and cocaine. West said in various interviews that his drug problems and similar drug abuse problems of other bandmates, had interfered with the success of both Mountain, and West, Bruce and Laing. In the mid 1980s, just as he was overcoming the drug problems, West was diagnosed with diabetes and his weight fluctuated over the years as he struggled with the disease. In the early 2000s he also survived a short bout with bladder cancer. In 2011, due to complications from his diabetes, West's lower right leg had to be amputated West said in a 2014 interview that he believed his past smoking also contributed to the crisis with his leg. West suffered a heart attack in his home near Daytona, Florida on December 20, 2020 and was rushed to a hospital in nearby Palm Coast where he never regained consciousness. After being contacted by Rolling Stone, West's brother Larry West Weinstein confirmed that Leslie West had died on December 22, 2020. the Billboard Top Blues Albums chart.

Nuevo disco de Blue Öyster Cult "The Symbol Remains"

 

https://ydray.com/get/l/sV16081428472986/BE6vPwsjIbU

The Symbol Remains es el decimoquinto álbum de estudio de la banda de rock estadounidense Blue Öyster Cult, lanzado el 9 de octubre de 2020. El título proviene de una letra del LP de 1983 de Blue Öyster Cult, The Revolution By Night, en la canción "Shadow Of California". Este es el primer lanzamiento de estudio de la banda desde Curse of the Hidden Mirror de 2001, lo que lo convierte en la brecha más larga entre los álbumes de estudio de la banda. También marca el debut discográfico de los antiguos miembros Jules Radino y Richie Castellano, así como el primer álbum de estudio desde Club Ninja de 1985 que no presenta a Allen Lanier, quien murió en 2013. La falta de éxito comercial del anterior álbum de estudio de la banda, Curse of the Hidden Mirror (2001), contribuyó al desinterés de la banda por grabar nueva música. El líder Eric Bloom señaló en 2017 que "hacer un disco cuesta dinero" y que el tiempo dedicado a producir un álbum sería mejor gastarlo en giras "que en hacer un disco que nadie va a comprar". Aunque admitió que algunos fanáticos incondicionales estarían entusiasmados con tal lanzamiento, probablemente no sería un proyecto financieramente exitoso. Sin embargo, admitió que eventualmente llegaría un nuevo esfuerzo. El guitarrista principal Buck Dharma declaró en otra entrevista que la banda tenía planes "tentativos" para grabar en 2017, y señaló que la banda en ese momento era "tan buena que sería una pena no hacerlo". Dharma también reveló que originalmente tenía la intención de ponerse en contacto con el manager de la banda y colaborador Sandy Pearlman sobre ideas para el álbum, aunque la muerte de Pearlman en 2016 por un derrame cerebral evitó que ocurriera. En abril de 2019, Bloom reiteró además que eventualmente llegaría un álbum y anunció que la banda "pronto" firmaría un nuevo contrato de grabación. Se lanzaron varios sencillos y videos musicales para promocionar el álbum. El 28 de agosto de 2020, "That Was Me" y "Box in My Head" se lanzaron para su transmisión en YouTube. Varios días después, se lanzó un video musical con el ex miembro Albert Bouchard para el primero. Un video fue lanzado para "Box in My Head" el 10 de septiembre. Además, la banda lanzó un video para "Tainted Blood" el 25 de septiembre. El día del lanzamiento del álbum, la banda lanzó un video para "The Alchemist". Según Buck Dharma, "Box in My Head" trata de "tratar de intrigar a una dama" y que la mente es un "lugar enigmático y curioso". Cuenta con letras del novelista John Shirley, un colaborador frecuente de la banda. "The Alchemist" hace referencia a H.P. El cuento corto de Lovecraft The Alchemist, mientras que "Florida Man" hace referencia al meme de Internet del mismo nombre. "The Return of St. Cecilia", escrito en castellano, hace referencia a una canción del álbum que la banda grabó para Elektra Records en 1970 con el nombre "Grupo Stalk-Forrest". Otra contribución de Castellano, "La Máquina", trata sobre los teléfonos móviles. Buck Dharma había lanzado una grabación diferente de la canción "Fight" en 2015, como pista en solitario. Además, en 2000 se lanzaron grabaciones de demostración de otras dos canciones, "Nightmare Epiphany" y "Secret Road" en una compilación de archivo publicada por Dharma. "Edge of the World" es una canción sobre teorías de conspiración y referencias a abducciones extraterrestres. En julio de 2019, se anunció que la banda había firmado con Frontiers Records y que el álbum se lanzaría en 2020. Bloom señaló que la mitad de las canciones ya estaban escritas, y la parte restante se escribirá durante la producción del álbum. La carátula del álbum y la lista de canciones se revelaron en agosto de 2020. The Symbol Remains ha recibido una acogida positiva por parte de la crítica, y "The Alchemist" en particular ha sido objeto de particular elogio. El álbum tiene una calificación agregada de 77/100 en Metacritic a partir de noviembre de 2020. Dom Lawson de Blabbermouth.net le dio al álbum una crítica positiva, citando canciones como "Box in My Head" y "The Alchemist" como puntos culminantes del álbum.] Scott McLennan de The Arts Fuse elogió "The Alchemist" como "un extenso historia de una monarquía maldita, la traición palaciega y la hechicería ", y notando que la actuación de Bloom en la pista estaba en" forma desgarradora ". McLennan también elogió el "rápido riff de country-rock" de Dharma en "Train True (la canción de Lennie)". Thom Jurek de Allmusic elogió el álbum como un regreso "completamente inspirado" para la banda y comparó el sonido de muchas de las canciones del álbum. al catálogo de Blue Öyster Cult, así como a grupos como Head East y Iron Maiden. Al escribir para BraveWords, Paul Stenning citó el material como "memorable" y señaló "Nightmare Epiphany", "Edge of the World" y "Stand and Fight" como pistas destacadas. Mientras tanto, una revisión más neutral en Uncut citó "The Machine", "Stand and Fight" y "The Alchemist" como los mejores momentos del álbum.

The Symbol Remains is the fifteenth studio album by American rock band Blue Öyster Cult, released on October 9, 2020. The title comes from a lyric on Blue Öyster Cult's 1983 LP The Revolution By Night in the song “Shadow Of California.“ This is the band's first studio release since 2001's Curse of the Hidden Mirror, making it the longest gap between the band's studio albums. It also marks the recording debut by long-time members Jules Radino and Richie Castellano, as well as the first studio album since 1985's Club Ninja to not feature Allen Lanier, who died in 2013. The lack of retail success of the band's previous studio album, Curse of the Hidden Mirror (2001), contributed to the band's long disinterest in recording new music. Frontman Eric Bloom noted in 2017 that "it costs money to make a record," and that the time spent producing an album would be better spent touring "than making a record that nobody's going to buy." Although he did concede that some hardcore fans would be enthusiastic about such a release, it would likely not be a financially successful project. Nevertheless, he admitted that a new effort would eventually arrive. Lead guitarist Buck Dharma stated in another interview that the band had "tentative" plans to record in 2017, and noted that the then-current band was "so good it would be a shame not to." Dharma had also revealed that he had originally intended to contact longtime band manager and collaborator Sandy Pearlman about ideas for the album, although Pearlman's death in 2016 from a stroke prevented that occurrence. In April 2019, Bloom further reiterated that an album would eventually arrive, and announced that the band would "soon" be signing a new recording contract. Several singles and music videos were released to promote the album. On August 28, 2020, "That Was Me" and "Box in My Head" were released for streaming on YouTube. Several days later, a music video featuring former member Albert Bouchard was released for the former. A video was released for "Box in My Head" on September 10. Additionally, the band released a video for "Tainted Blood" on September 25. On the day of the album's release, the band released a video for "The Alchemist". According to Buck Dharma, "Box in My Head" is about "trying to intrigue a lady" and that the mind is an "enigmatic and curious place". It features lyrics by novelist John Shirley, a frequent collaborator of the band. "The Alchemist" references the H.P. Lovecraft short story The Alchemist, while "Florida Man" references the internet meme of the same name.The Castellano-penned "The Return of St. Cecilia" references a song from the album that the band recorded for Elektra Records in 1970 under the name "Stalk-Forrest Group." Another Castellano contribution, "The Machine," is about cell phones. A different recording of the song "Fight" had been released by Buck Dharma in 2015, as a solo track. Additionally, demo recordings of two other songs, "Nightmare Epiphany" and "Secret Road" were released in 2000 in an archive compilation released by Dharma. "Edge of the World" is a song about conspiracy theories and references alien abductions. In July 2019, it was announced that the band had signed with Frontiers Records, and that the album would be released in 2020. Bloom noted that half of the songs were already written, with the remaining portion to be written during production of the album. The album art and track listing were revealed in August 2020. The Symbol Remains has received a positive reception from critics, and "The Alchemist" in particular has been the subject of particular praise. The album holds a 77/100 aggregate rating on Metacritic as of November 2020. Dom Lawson of Blabbermouth.net gave the album a positive review, citing songs like "Box in My Head" and "The Alchemist" as high points on the album.] Scott McLennan of The Arts Fuse hailed "The Alchemist" as "a sprawling tale of a cursed monarchy, palace treachery, and sorcery", and noting that Bloom's performance on the track was at "peak harrowing form." McLennan also praised Dharma's "speedy country-rock riff" playing on "Train True (Lennie's Song)."Thom Jurek of Allmusic hailed the album as a "thoroughly inspired" return for the band, and compared the sound of many of the album's songs to Blue Öyster Cult's back catalogue, as well as groups like Head East and Iron Maiden. Writing for BraveWords Paul Stenning cited the material as "memorable" and marked out "Nightmare Epiphany", "Edge of the World" and "Stand and Fight" as standout tracks. Meanwhile, a more neutral review in Uncut cited the "metal tinged" "The Machine", "Stand and Fight" and "The Alchemist" as the album's best moments

John Lennon, 40 años de su muerte.

 En la noche de este día de 1980, John Lennon fue asesinado a tiros en el arco del Dakota, su hogar en la ciudad de Nueva York.

Imagine es el segundo álbum de estudio del músico inglés John Lennon, lanzado el 9 de septiembre de 1971 por Apple Records. Coproducido por Lennon, su esposa Yoko Ono y Phil Spector, el exuberante sonido del álbum contrasta con los arreglos básicos para grupos pequeños de su primer álbum, John Lennon / Plastic Ono Band (1970), mientras que la canción que da título a la apertura es ampliamente considerada Lennon grabó el álbum desde principios hasta mediados de 1971 en Ascot Sound Studios, Abbey Road Studios y Record Plant en la ciudad de Nueva York, con músicos de apoyo que incluían a su ex compañero de banda de los Beatles George Harrison, el tecladista Nicky Hopkins, el bajista Klaus Voormann y los bateristas Alan White y Jim Keltner. Sus letras reflejan la paz, el amor, la política, la experiencia de Lennon con la terapia de gritos primarios y, tras un período de altas tensiones personales, un ataque a su antiguo compañero de escritura Paul McCartney en "How Do You Sleep?". Se grabaron extensas imágenes de las sesiones para un documental desechado; partes fueron lanzadas en el documental Imagine: John Lennon (1988). El documental John & Yoko: Above Us Only Sky, basado en ese metraje, fue lanzado en 2018. Imagine fue un éxito crítico y comercial, alcanzando el número uno tanto en UK Albums Chart como en US Billboard 200. Junto con John Lennon / Plastic Ono Band, se considera uno de los mejores álbumes en solitario de Lennon.

En el siglo XXI, las ventas de Mobile Fidelity crecieron con un interés renovado en el vinilo https://ydray.com/get/l/Do16074535682238/8CohxIuzdmy .

On the evening on this day 1980, John Lennon was shot dead in the archway of the Dakota, his home in New York City.

Imagine is the second studio album by English musician John Lennon, released on 9 September 1971 by Apple Records. Co-produced by Lennon, his wife Yoko Ono and Phil Spector, the album's lush sound contrasts the basic, small-group arrangements of his first album , John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band (1970), while the opening title track is widely considered to be his signature song.Lennon recorded the album from early to mid-1971 at Ascot Sound Studios, Abbey Road Studios and the Record Plant in New York City, with supporting musicians that included his ex-Beatles bandmate George Harrison, keyboardist Nicky Hopkins, bassist Klaus Voormann and drummers Alan White and Jim Keltner. Its lyrics reflect peace, love, politics, Lennon's experience with primal scream therapy, and, following a period of high personal tensions, an attack on his former writing partner Paul McCartney in "How Do You Sleep?". Extensive footage from the sessions was recorded for a scrapped documentary; parts were released on the documentary film Imagine: John Lennon (1988). The documentary John & Yoko: Above Us Only Sky, based on that footage, was released in 2018. Imagine was a critical and commercial success, peaking at number one on both the UK Albums Chart and US Billboard 200.

Pink Floyd - Delicate Sound Of Thunder (2020)

 

El Pink Floyd de finales de la década de 1980 era una propuesta completamente diferente a la banda que había adquirido prominencia desde finales de la década de 1960. Después de 'The Final Cut' en 1983, el líder, bajista y letrista Roger Waters renunció para ir en solitario, asumiendo que sin su administración, Pink Floyd moriría silenciosamente. Sintiéndose repentinamente liberado, el guitarrista principal David Gilmour tuvo otras ideas. Después de una disputa legal infame y amarga sobre los derechos para grabar como "Pink Floyd" (Gilmour ganó), la banda siguió sin Waters y trazó una nueva dirección. 'Delicate Sound of Thunder' fue el mensaje audaz y exitoso de David Gilmour, basado en el éxito de 'A Momentary Lapse of Reason', para que la gente supiera que Pink Floyd todavía estaba en el negocio, aunque bajo una nueva administración, y que había una y línea de sangre pura entre los primeros días felices y el presente. Funcionó, y Gilmour demostró que podía estar a la altura como líder carismático y cantante principal. Sin el cinismo y los picos de Waters, Pink Floyd es una celebración más limpia de la música. Debe admitirse que, líricamente al menos, las pistas más nuevas no estaban al mismo nivel que las mejores de Waters, pero Gilmour y Wright eran músicos talentosos que pusieron la música al frente y al centro, en lugar de las palabras, una inversión completa de la dirección que tomó Roger Waters. "Delicate Sound of Thunder" es una experiencia en vivo fantástica y auténtica de Pink Floyd para todos los fanáticos de Roger Waters, excepto los más acérrimos. Para el oyente promedio y para los amantes de todas las épocas y formaciones de Pink Floyd, es una compilación de grandes éxitos en vivo de leyendas del rock progresivo.

Gran reedición del clásico álbum en vivo de Pink Floyd con una nueva mezcla (que involucra al propio David Gilmour) y pistas adicionales hacen de esta una compra esencial. Escucharlo con buenos auriculares es imprescindible

The Pink Floyd of the late 1980s was an altogether different proposition to the band that had grown to prominence since the late 1960s. After ‘The Final Cut’ in 1983, frontman, bassist and lyricist Roger Waters quit to go solo, assuming that without his stewardship, Pink Floyd would quietly die. Feeling himself suddenly liberated, lead guitarist David Gilmour had other ideas. Following an infamously bitter legal wrangle over the rights to record as ‘Pink Floyd’ (Gilmour won), the band carried on without Waters and charted a new direction.  ‘Delicate Sound of Thunder’ was David Gilmour’s audacious and successful message, building on the success of ‘A Momentary Lapse of Reason’, to let people know that Pink Floyd was still in business, albeit under new management, and that there was a direct and pure bloodline between the halcyon early days and the present. It worked, and Gilmour proved he could measure up as a charismatic front man and lead singer. Without Waters’ cynicism and spikiness, Pink Floyd is more of a cleaner celebration of the music. It ought to be conceded that, lyrically at least, the newer tracks were not on the same level as the best of Waters, but Gilmour and Wright were talented musicians who put the music front and centre, rather than the words – a complete reversal of the direction Roger Waters took. ‘Delicate Sound of Thunder’ is a fantastic and authentic Pink Floyd live experience for all but the most die-hard of Roger Waters fans. For the average listener and for lovers of every era and line-up of Pink Floyd, it’s a greatest hits compilation live performance from prog rock legends.

Great re-release of the classic Pink Floyd live album with a new mix (involving David Gilmour himself) and extra tracks make this an essential purchase. Listening to it on good headphones is a must.
