Rising again from the ashes of ARGENT… John Verity & Bob Henrit have decided the time is right to do it again!John Verity, Bob Henrit & Jim Rodford formed PHOENIX from the ashes of 70’s super group ARGENT in 1976.Phoenix recorded 3 albums.The first was a powerful, straight ahead rock release for CBS Records in 1976, and though premature, it was to inspire a new wave of British Rock later that decade via a bootleg live album recorded during the bands tour of Europe that year.A second album recorded initially for CBS but continued under the guidance of Rocket Records remains unreleased, though a couple of singles – including a version of ‘Time of the Season’ were released on Rocket.‘In Full View’ was the 3rd and final PHOENIX album of the time, recorded for Charisma Records without Jim Rodford who had left to join the KINKS. At this time the band also recorded a number of Russ Ballard songs, including the original version of ‘I Surrender’ – deemed by Charisma Records to be ‘uncommercial!!’ and which was subsequently a hit for Rainbow.

| | Paul Burch Still Your Man CD (2009) Digipak
Five Songs EP album
$11.39
Paul Burch has been a rocksteady songwriter since he began making records in the late 1990s. His trademark -- and all but indescribable -- manner of combining musical styles from vintage country, rockabilly, Western swing, blues, swing jazz, and even postwar Latin rhythms is as baffling and beautiful as his mellifluous tenor, which sounds timeless, does. And his recording and production style are usually quite minimal and always has a live feel; he has always tried to get the warmest sound possible without losing the tension of a band in a room in front of microphones and tape machines. Still Your Man is Burch's most compelling collection of songs yet. Along with his killer band, the WPA Ballclub -- Jim Gray, Fats Kaplin, Dennis Crouch, Jen Gunderman, Dennis Church, and Marty Lynds -- Burch brought back the guests from his last recording, East to West, Tim O'Brien and Kelly Hogan, to help out. But the unofficial member of the band is Burch's Pan American Studio. The songwriter purchased an old empty garage near Music Row for its high ceilings and converted it into a recording studio. The high ceilings enable him to get the warmth in the sound he wanted (little to no slap-back). He recorded himself and the band playing these songs live with minimal editing done in the mixing process. The end result is immediate; it puts the listener inside the recording experience, lending the illusion that one is in the presence of the musicians as they play, which gives the sound a great deal of weight.
Ultimately of course, it's the songs that matter. "Like a Train" opens the set with Burch's acoustic guitar all bluesy and taut, which is joined shortly by Dennis Crouch's upright bass, Gunderman's use of a clavinet and a bass and tom-tom-driven drum kit by Burch. When Burch's electric guitar (with full reverb in the break) joins the fray, it's all shuffling, fingerpopping, bluesy groove that straddles the swaggering yet sultry side of rockabilly, but it's funky too. The slippery old-time country feel of "Little Bells," a duet with Hogan, has the pedal steel, a liquid electric guitar, vibes, and piano all winding around the singers but leaving plenty of space in the center. It swings as it shuffles. The rhumba rhythm on "Honey Blue" is startling, but with that funky acoustic piano and popping bassline, it's got plenty of hip shake, and it's all up to Burch to phrase this timeless roots rocker, and he does. It would be easy to take this 14-song set track by track, but it would be an injustice in a sense because it would deny the listener the pleasure. There are many twists and turns in this collection, little touches that ...
