One of the most underrated prog-rock bands of the 1970s, Greenslade included former members of Colosseum and King Crimson, and they lived up to that impressive pedigree. On their debut album, they unveiled a dual-keyboard-charged sound powered by ivory ticklers Dave Greenslade and Tony Lawson. While the band displayed an instrumental facility right in line with the emerging symphonic wing of prog, they were distinguished by two rarities in the genre: trace elements of R&B (perhaps the Colosseum connection) and lyrics that display an actual sense of humor. Greenslade Music Review Average Rating: (4 out of 5 stars)  a nice prog rock record from the 70's
Very nice record! i like it ! sometimes it's blues, sometimes prog, sometimes jazz. greenslade and lawson are great keyboarder! reeves plays bass like chris squire. furthermore the piano intro of sundance reminds me keith jarret. if you like prog you should buy it!

Purchase Greenslade CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Hatfield & The North Hatfield & The North CD (1974)
Greenslade album
 $9.35  
One of the Canterbury scene's most revered bands, Hatfield and the North made up for the brevity of their career with some fascinating music. Always adventurous, the quartet had the keen sense to realize that only the most hardened jazz fans respond to numerous key changes and exceedingly complex time signatures, and thus enlivened their live set with the odd gnome smashing, suggestive lyrics, and jokey song titles. It worked a charm, with the band quickly amassing a large, loyal following at home in Britain and across the continent. On their eponymous debut, Hatfield stunningly succeeded in translating both their sense of fun and their musical brilliance onto disc. After a bit of light humor, the band slide into "Going Up to People and Tinkling", ...
| | Hatfield & The North Rotters' Club CD (1975)
Greenslade CD music
$9.19
Hatfield and the North's second LP stands as a high watermark for the prog rock associated with England's Canterbury scene and, while filled with stunning musicianship, demonstrates both the strengths and some of the weaknesses of the Hatfield style. Dave Stewart on keyboards, Phil Miller on guitar, Richard Sinclair on bass and vocals, and Pip Pyle on drums (supplemented by a few guest instrumentalists and the ever-ethereal Northettes with their "la la" backing vocals) generally show an admirable sense of restraint and, like their Canterbury peers, are careful to avoid the pomposity and bombast of better-known prog rockers of the era, such as Emerson, Lake & Palmer and Yes. But the Hatfields might actually have been light to a fault, particularly whenever a segue from one of their convoluted instrumental passages into a Richard Sinclair vocal vehicle occurred. Sinclair shares a bit of Robert Wyatt's singing approach, or at least Wyatt's more whimsical side, but his polite and mellow croon, while pleasant, is less idiosyncratic and ultimately rather bland. And, don' t look for much ...
| | Greenslade Bedside Manners Are Extra CD (1973) (Import) Netherlands
Greenslade music CDs
$12.65
Aside from a few minor differences, 1973's Bedside Manners Are Extra is equivalent to Greenslade's debut album, inundated with the same dazzling synthesizer work and atmospheric guitar implementations from Tony Reeves. Andrew McCulloch's drumming is a little more effective the whole album through, balancing out Dave Greenslade's keyboards and Dave Lawson's singing. The songs alternate from vocal to instrumental, beginning with the beautifully lush title track that exploits the ease in which Greenslade applies his techniques. ...
| | Eric Sardinas Black Pearls CD (2003)
Greenslade songs
$11.19 
Eric Sardinas is a good, even great, electric slide player, and his Dobro skills are equally as impressive. His band on Black Pearls, Paul Loranger on bass and Mike Dupke on drums, is also quite good. The songs, all written by Sardinas, sound good and rock hard, although you've heard all this said before. (Granted, blues feeds on recycled lyrics, and it is undoubtedly hard to find a new way to say "I've been down so long I'm gonna leave you.") The highlights here -- the cheerful pop-blues of "Big Red Line," the bluegrass-paced Dobro work on "Old Smyrm Road" -- come on songs that step a little bit outside the blues-boogie template. ~ Steve Leggett
Eric Sardinas is a good, even great, electric slide player, and his Dobro skills are equally as impressive. His band on Black Pearls, Paul Loranger on bass and Mike Dupke on drums, is also quite good. The problem here is the material. The songs, all written by Sardinas, are at the worst end of blues cliché. They sound good and rock hard, but in the end, you've heard all this said before, and probably better. Granted, blues feeds on recycled lyrics, and it is undoubtedly hard to find a new way to say "I've been down so long I'm gonna leave ...
| | One Live Badger CD (1973)
Greenslade album
$9.09
Recorded live at the Rainbow Theatre, London, England on December 15-16, 1972.
One Live Badger is the easier Badger album to find, and the one worth having anyway. As the album's title indicates, the band also took the unusual step of making their first album a live recording of original songs. It has aged very well -- with all the energy of live performance, there's none of the usual studio excesses or noodling of the era. The Yes connection via Tony Kaye is abundantly evident; the album was co-produced by Yes singer Jon Anderson, uses long instrumental breaks and prominent Hammond organ solos, and features the obligatory Roger Dean cover art. Nonetheless, the brooding lyrics and soulful harmonies make comparisons to Traffic and Blind Faith a much ...

| | Jeffrey Gaines Always Be CD (2001)
Greenslade album
$14.49
Acoustic soul rocker Jeffrey Gaines broke through to the mainstream in 2001 with his third release, Always Be. It took Gaines' soulful rendition of Peter Gabriel's "In Your Eyes" -- live and recorded versions are on this album -- for audiences to fully take notice of this singer/songwriter. Gaines offers up another remake here -- a stark version of Ewan MacColl's "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face." The singer's take on this classic ballad is mesmerizing. Gaines' talent, unmistakably, lies in his tenor voice, which fluidly sweeps through the scales, resulting in sultry lows and searing highs, all delivered with a richness that oozes like hot fudge. Always Be has several shining moments. "I'll Have You" is a wistful torch song that is entirely seductive, while "Take Me Back" recalls the Fabulous Thunderbirds -- but without the speedy tempo -- and drives with soul and toe-tapping verve. "Hero in Me," an acoustic ballad, is purely plaintive and finds its protagonists regretful and longing to be free from the emotional prisons that they've built. This song is deeply touching. Jeffrey Gaines can be likened to Duncan Sheik, Seal, Bryan Ferry, and other sensitive singer/songwriters with sexy voices. To be sure, Gaines' sound is firmly planted in relaxed, straightforward light rock, with a soulful edge. While there is nothing groundbreaking on Always Be, the album ...

| | Django Haskins Over Easy Smoke Machine CD (2003)
Greenslade album
$12.15
Born in Gainesville, Florida, Django Haskins' musical journey has taken him to some strange corners of the world. A childhood in a family of musicians exposed him to Cole Porter, the Beatles, Dylan, Motown, Thelonius Monk, the Replacements, and Elvis Costello to name a few, and created in him a deep-seated love for pop music in its many forms. After a string of middle- and high-school bands with such bound-for-glory names as The Music Butchers and The Robot Bunnies From Hell, Django headed north to study literature on the other side of the Mason-Dixon line. He then set off for China, living in Hangzhou teaching English, and performing his songs at the local pub. It was a crucial experience for his development as a songwriter, as he recounts, "I gained a lot of insight into what makes a song work with an audience that can't understand a word...it takes away all opportunities for in-references, clever lyrics, etc. and boils it down to melody, rhythm, feel, and sound. And when it comes down to it, it doesn't matter what goes into it; it's the sound that hits you or doesn't." Continuing with his penchant for Third World bases of operation, Django relocated to New York City in 1996. After the release of the album Folding Stars and a series of increasingly successful solo shows at NYC downtown institutions such as CBGB's Gallery, the Bitter End, the Fez, and the Mercury Lounge, Django formed a band which eventually developed into the present lineup of Django & the Regulars with Byron Isaacs on bass and Neil Nunziato behind the drums. With the Regulars, Django teamed up with legendary producer Don Fleming (Sonic Youth, Teenage Fanclub, Pete Yorn) as well as NYC producer Andrew Holander and Mike Daly (Whiskeytown) to record another album of his tunes, Laying Low and Inbetween in 2001, which garnered an impressive amount of radio play and critical acclaim and was subsequently picked up by NYC indie label ModMusic Records for national distribution and use in several TV & film projects. Django's latest album, 'overeasysmokemachine' was recorded in NYC with Andrew Hollander producing and Robert Smith engineering (David Bowie, Rickie Lee Jones), with some additional recording in Django's newly adopted home base of Chapel Hill, NC with Dan Bryk and ...
