| | Bela Fleck Daybreak CD Bela Fleck Discography of CDs
Released the same year as PLACES, 1987's DAYBREAK has less of the eclecticism of the former outing, but still captures banjo player Bela Fleck merging his bluegrass roots with forays into other genres (fusions he would perfect with his '90s outfit the Flecktones). The lead-off track, "Texas Barbeque," shows Fleck can still pick his way masterfully through the bluegrass idiom, but the following cut, a version of Chick Corea's romantic, pulsing composition "Spain" (with banjo and mandolin taking the lead lines), proves Fleck is no straight-laced traditionalist.
Likewise, the Celtic-flavored "Growling Old Man and the Grumbling Old Woman," the Fats Waller rag "How Can You Face Me Now," and the sweeping ballad "The Natural Bridge Suite" have Fleck moving all over the musical map with grace and ease. There are occasional glances back to good old bluegrass, albeit often in a warped mirror, as on the progressive charts of "Reading in the Dark." In addition to his arrangements of traditional tunes, Fleck wrote many of the compositions on DAYBREAK, with the melancholy title cut and the slanted, jive-oriented "Flexibility" being the standouts.
Recorded between 1979 & 1982.

| | David Elliott All One Featuring Paul Kossoff CD (2009)
Daybreak album
$10.15
Until about a year or so ago David Elliott was just a name on one of the tracks on the 'Koss' compilation album to me. At that time, and for an afternoon and an evening, he was the keyboard player on 'You've Taken Hold Of Me', the track written by Eddie Baird for Paul's proposed solo album 'Love Is The Lord'. So I was surprised when David got in touch to say he was trying to get the masters to a track of his featuring Paul, recorded during the same session. It took some time but I gave him the tape box and reference numbers I had, and he diligently worked the business necessary to get the multi-tracks he needed to finish the song and mix it for an album he was putting together. And when everything was coming together I was happy to provide sleeve notes for his new CD In fact, initially David Elliott was signed to Island Publishing in London by Lionel Conway, and a deal with Atlantic Records produced two albums back in the days before his meeting with Kossoff. It was a brief liaison, but it certainly left an impression on him, and he speaks with great pride at being able to record with Koss, even if a band never did ensue from the short association. David's first Atlantic album hosts a wealth of musical talent and positively drips with celebs including Nigel Olsson and Dee Murray from Elton John's band. Caleb Quaye later worked on Elton's 'Captain Fantastic'. Albert Lee is on here; Tim Renwick, veteran of KKTR; B.J. Cole'; Mick Grabham (Procol Harum). Even Rick Wills, later of Foreigner and Bad Company. It's an impressive list and shows the weight Atlantic was throwing behind their signing. The album has 11 cuts, nothing over 5 minutes in length, and really shows the songs and the writing. It's very US sounding, lots of acoustic guitars and finger picking stuff. 'Some' is very Nick Drake and my favorite cut. It comes complete with a nice string arrangement by none other than Robert Kirby, who actually did the beautiful stuff on Nick's 'Five Leaves Left'. In that respect it's a good Sunday afternoon type record and that's not a bad thing. Some of Elton's early stuff falls into that category too. His second album 'Solid Ground' sounds much for confident and has a nice cohesive feel lacking somewhat in the debut. Nothing counts more than a little experience when you are making records. The sound is still tilted towards the west coast of the US with B.J. Cole's pedal steel slipping between the acoustic guitars and strings, but the production is better and that makes quite a difference. 'Railway Line' is particularly good and would have made a great US single I'd have thought, but the track here that counts is 'I'm On Fire For You Baby', recorded at Muscle Shoals, using all the usual suspects (David Hood, Roger Hawkins, Barry Beckett, Pete Carr, and Jimmy Johnson), and produced by Brad Shapiro (see Andy Fraser's 'In Your Eyes'). It was later covered by Canadian band April Wine, and they took it too the top ten. With Shapiro's production this would easily slip onto Fraser's album and I ...
