The Move - Colour Me Pop (1969)

       Carl Wayne                            Roy Wood                         Bev Bevan                     Trevor Burton

The Move was a British rock band of the late 1960s and the early 1970s who, for most of their career, were led by guitarist, singer and songwriter Roy Wood. He wrote all the group's UK singles and, from 1968, also sang lead vocals on many songs (initially, the band had four main vocalists: Wood, Carl Wayne, Trevor Burton and Chris "Ace" Kefford who shared the lead vocal role).

                                                             I Can Hear The Gras Grow

" I Can Hear the Grass Grow " is the second single by the Move, written by Roy Wood  and produced by Denny Cordell.

 The Move evolved from several mid-1960s Birmingham-based groups, including Carl Wayne & The Vikings, The Nightriders & The Mayfair Set. The group's name seems to refer to the move various members of these bands made to form the group. Beside Roy Wood, the original members of the Move were drummer Bev Bevan, bassist Chris "Ace" Kefford, vocalist Carl Wayne & guitarist Trevor Burton.

                                                                         Flowers In The Rain   

 The song was written by the Move's guitarist/vocalist Roy Wood, produced by Denny Cordell, and recorded on the 6th of July in Advision Studios (based in London).

 'I Can Hear the Grass Grow', 'Blackberry Way' & Flowers in the Rain (the latter being the first record played on BBC Radio 1), are The Move's better known work not forgetting 1971's 'Tonight'. The group became more experimental and innovative as time went on especially on the albums 'Shazam' and 'Message from the Country'.  

                                                                   Fire Brigade

 " Fire Brigade " is a song written by Roy Wood and performed by The Move. Released as the group's fourth single in the United Kingdom on the 26th of January, 1968, on Regal Zonophone Records and with the B-side "Walk Upon the Water", it reached No. 3 in the UK Singles Chart.

   

                                                                         Blackberry Way

 "Blackberry Way" is a 1968 single by British band the Move. Written by the band's guitarist/vocalist Roy Wood and produced by Jimmy Miller, "Blackberry Way" was a bleak counterpoint to the sunny psychedelia of earlier recordings. It nevertheless became the band's most successful single, reaching number 1 on the UK singles chart in February 1969

 Several changes left the final line-up in 1971 as Roy Wood, Jeff Lynne and Bev Bevan, evolving into the first incarnation of Electric Light Orchestra which Wood left soon after to form Wizzard.

 Members Ace Kefford (1965 – 1968) Bev Bevan (1965 – 1972) Carl Wayne (1965 – 1970) Jeff Lynne (1970 – 1972) Rick Price (1970 – 1972) Roy Wood (1965 – 1972) Trevor Burton (1965 – 1969) 

Note:

 I had the pleasure of seeing the band play live once. That was during a great festival in Belgium (Jazz Bilzen 1968). That same evening also The Small Faces, Chris Farlow, Alexis Corner, etc.

             "Sally Was a Cop"written by Alejandro Escovedo (album Big Station)

                               Cover by Chuck Prophet (album Wake The dead)

Sally was a cop but now she′s a solider
another foot deep
another debt older
I used to be on top
now I just roll over
I used to run hot
now I run a little colder

they're marching up the streets
people hiding in their cubbords
from the crooked politicos
to the mercenary lovers
the socialites and psychopaths are
dancing with each other
Sally was a cop now she′s a solider

shot in the face in the ditches of Tecate
35 bodies lying in the highway
children forced to dig the graves of their fathers
Sally was a cop
now she's a solider

they're marching down the street
people hiding in their cubbords
children′s forced to dig
the graves of their fathers

Sally was a cop
now she′s a solider

An attorney for the band has stated that Kooymans passed away due to his suffering from ALS. “We say goodbye to a great musician and composer whose work extended beyond Golden Earring.

John Mayall - "I'm Gonna Fight for You J.B."

 When John Mayall was starting another band after the break-up of the Bluesbreakers in May 1969, he decided to have a band that would play "low volume music" – or music without "heavy lead guitar and drums". 

  "I'm Gonna Fight For You, J.B.", is a tribute to the American blues guitarist J. B. Lenoir who died in 1967 and who had a deep influence on Mayall

John Brumwell Mayall  (29 November 1933 – 22 July 2024) was an English blues and rock musician, songwriter and producer. In the 1960s, he formed John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers, a band that has counted among its members some of the most famous blues and blues rock musicians of all-time. A singer, guitarist, harmonica player, and keyboardist, he had a career that spanned nearly seven decades, remaining an active musician until his death aged 90. Mayall has often been referred to as the "godfather of the British blues", and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in the musical influence category in 2024. 

John Michael Burchell (8 May 1943 – 10 February 2021), known professionally as Jon Mark, was an English singer-songwriter and guitarist, best known for his recordings with Marianne Faithfull, Sweet Thursday, John Mayall and Mark-Almond. Mark, who received a Grammy in 2004, lived in Rotorua, New Zealand.

                                      

Johnny Almond (20 July 1946 – 18 November 2009) was a British saxophonist, who is best known for his recordings with the Alan Price Set, Fleetwood Mac, John Mayall and Mark-Almond. 

Alex Dmochowski (Death reported on December 21, 2024 )Bassist Alex Dmochowski became a familiar face on the British blues scene playing with John Mayall, Aynsley Dunbar’s Retaliation, Peter Green and Quincy Jones, among others. During the 70s he recorded several albums with Frank Zappa, including the iconic Apostrophe (‘), under the handle ‘Erroneous’. He was 79 when he passed away peacefully at his home in London.

                                           

 The Turning Point is a live album by John Mayall, featuring British blues music recorded at a concert at Bill Graham's Fillmore East on 12 July 1969.

Tom Rush -Urge For Going (Joni Mitchell)

 Tom Rush (born February 8, 1941)is an American folk and blues singer, guitarist, and songwriter whose success helped launch the careers of other singer-songwriters in the 1960s and who has continued his own singing career for 60 years

Back in November 2020, ten months into covid, 79-year old Tom Rush performed an online-only concert from home since actual in-person live anything (much less concert touring) had been suspended. This acoustic performance of Joni Mitchell's "The Urge for Going" is the same haunting arrangement he did originally 55 years earlier back in 1966 when he was age 25, played from a demo tape very early one morning on the Dick Summer overnight show on WBZ in Boston. The rest is history, for Tom Rush and for Joni Mitchell. Enjoy.
