And Then There Were Three, more than either of its immediate predecessors, feels like the beginning of the second phase of Genesis -- in large part because the lineup had indeed dwindled down to Tony Banks, Mike Rutherford, and Phil Collins, a situation alluded to in the title. But it wasn't just a whittling of the lineup; the group's aesthetic was also shifting, moving away from the fantastical, literary landscapes that marked both the early Genesis LPs and the two transitional post-Gabriel outings, as the bandmembers turned their lyrical references to contemporary concerns and slowly worked pop into the mix, as heard on the closing "Follow You Follow Me," the band's first genuine pop hit. Its calm, insistent melody, layered with harmonies, is a perfect soft rock hook, although there's a glassy, almost eerie quality to the production that is also heard throughout the rest of the record. These chilly surfaces are an indication that Genesis don't quite want to abandon prog at this point, but the increasing emphasis on melody and tight song structures points the way toward the group's '80s work. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
When guitarist Steve Hackett left Genesis for a solo career after touring behind 1977's WIND AND WUTHERING, he was the second major defection the group had suffered in as many years. Instead of helplessly disintegrating, the remaining trio circled the wagons and bounced back with the solid AND THEN THERE WERE THREE.
Rather than employ any outside studio musicians to take up the slack, Tony Banks, Phil Collins, and Mike Rutherford instead played every instrument themselves. Resolutely reflective throughout, this 1978 release finds Genesis populating its songs with a broad range of characters. Among the more memorable ones are the fast-talking record exec on "Down and Out" (a song that could be construed as a veiled swipe at the departed Hackett) and the larger-than-life cattle-driving cowpuncher on the synth-soaked "Ballad of Big." Although the songs on this record are more concise than Genesis' earlier, conceptual work, the band still retains the gift of capturing moods. The breathtaking "Snowbound" perfectly encompasses the feeling of stepping outside into a freshly minted snowfall. An air of yearning runs through "Follow You Follow Me," a romantic yarn that also became Genesis' first American Top 30 hit.Mojo (Publisher) (3/01, p.82) - "...11 comparatively short tracks written largely in isolation. One of the few group efforts, 'Follow You, Follow Me', becomes their first US hit."

Tony Banks and Chester Thomson put together a cd in 1979 called A Curious Feeling" The orginal version The "Undertow" is on it. And it's called "From the Undertow"

Please Don't Touch a better choice
In 1978, Steve Hackett puts out a solo album called Please Don't Touch. Chester Thomson helps Steve in the percussion. This is the album where all the lost instrumentals went, that would have been on this album(had he stayed) and Wind and Wuthering. It's very clear of Steve's absence on And Then There Were Three.

Peter put out an untitled album in 1978, "scratch" is what some people call it. There were some good moments on And Then There Were Three like Many Too Many, Snowbound and the deleted tracks; like The Day the Lights Went Out, Vancouver, and the original version of Undertow. However, like the one reviewer said Genesis was a done deal. This album would have been prog but the direction was changed with the loss of Peter Gabriel and Steve Hackett, the deletion of some good songs, and letting Phil in the writting. Steve Hackett put out a solo album of songs that would have been on here. Follow You, Follow Me ended this band as far as a credible rock group. Instead they became a silly pop group. So much for the insight of Tony
Banks. Good bye Genesis.

 Best Post Hackett/Gabriel Album
I've been an Genesis fan for close to 30 years and have listened to all of their albums hundreds of times, especially ATTWT.
Abacab comes in second in the new era for me but I think this masterpiece is the best of both worlds. Although you can consider this chapter of the band as more commercial, they still have the amazing ability to pull you in time and time again and make you listen to every track over and over. Not many bands are capable of this and this is what makes Genesis so incredible.
On ATTWT there is everything for every Genesis fan and I'm sure there is at least one song (Undertow for me)that we can all correlate to a special moment in time.

 Not complete, but some very good cuts!
I have to agree that of the post Hackett stuff that this one was actually the best of the lot! Some of Abacab wasn't bad either! Beyond that it got a little too, well I don't know what genre you would actually call it but it was all trash! Burning Rope, Undertow, Many too Many and a couple others were pretty much classic Genesis. Now the two high ranking chart cuts were a little Mickey Mouse, Scenes from a Night Dream and Follow You, Follow Me; but nonetheless didn't detract all that much from the five or six decent cuts. I think the big riff is that people endeared progressive rock and rejected seeing a great progressive rock band change their tune and sell out for top 40 singles. I guess you can't really do the same thing over and over, but I seldom hear anyone complain about it. Then again, sometimes you just have to roll the dice and take a chance. Oh well, there's always Camel!

Buddy Miles re-emerges with a sonic jolt of hard rhythm & blues on his most powerful recording ever, fusing the deepest circuits of soul, gospel, funk and rock 'n roll while channeling the influences of Wilson Pickett, Jimi Hendrix, Funkadelic and more...In the grand pantheon of rock and funk drummers, Buddy "Sugah Bear" Miles owns a storied legacy that stretches back to the psychedelic rock heyday of the late 1960s...and all the way up to today. Hell And Back is his most significant studio project of the last decade (aside from a power trio called Hardware's bone-crushing Third Eye Open, another original Black Arc release produced by Bill Laswell that features William "Bootsy" Collins on space bass and Steve Salas on guitar), and at the time of its release marked the long-overdue return of the nomad gypsy drummer and his Buddy Miles Express-giving you more Miles to the gallon and some new grooves to galvanize the tread in your worn-out tires.Miles has come a long way since his first professional gig, when at the age of twelve he began playing drums in his father's jazz combo in Omaha, Nebraska. It was only a metter of time before his inimitable bottom-heavy style attracted the attention of the multitudinous R&B and doo-wop groups who were touring the chitlin circuit and, eventually, the teenaged Miles landed a seat as part of Wilson Pickett's live revue.In 1967, while performing with Pickett, he was approached by Michael Bloomfield and Barry Goldberg and asked to join a new psychedelic rock band called The Electric Flag. With Miles on drums, the Flag recorded one high-voltage slab of vinyl before parting ways in 1968. Up from the skies came the freshly-formed Buddy Miles Express and a renewed friendship with Jimi Hendrix, with whom Miles had been running as early as June of 1967, when the two played the Monterey Pop Festival. Hendrix's archetypal and apocalyptic Electric Ladyland marked the ...

Personnel: Blind Willie McTell (vocals, guitar).
Liner Note Author: Bill Dahl.
John A. Lomax was on one of his field trips for the Library of Congress Folk Music Archives when he encountered Blind Willie McTell on the streets of Atlanta in 1940. He took the itinerant musician back to his hotel room and recorded the material that is found on this disc. From the opening track, it is obvious that McTell was in peak form, his 12-string sounding bright and full and his once soft, high tenor having grown deeper and more expressive than it had been on his classic 78s from the ...
