Badfinger: Tom Evans (vocals, bass guitar); Joe Tansin (guitar); Duane Hitchings (piano, keyboards); Nicky Hopkins (keyboards); Joey Molland, Andy Newmark, Ken Harck, Steve Foreman. Personnel: Joey Molland (vocals, guitar, acoustic guitar, electric piano, organ, background vocals); Nicky Hopkins (piano, organ); Duane Hitchings (synthesizer); Andy Newmark, Ken Harck (drums); Steve Foreman (percussion); David Malloy (background vocals). Photographer: Jim Shea. Arrangers: Joey Molland; Bad Brothers. Using the magic of overdubbing and a complement of star studio musicians, Tom Evans and Joey Molland take a respectable shot at recreating the three-part harmonies and pop sheen of the early-'70s Badfinger. "I Want to Get Back," Evans sings on the title track, and you would, too, if you had been reduced to manual labor after hobnobbing with the Beatles. Like early Badfinger, much of this evokes their old mentors, especially "Love Is Gonna Come at Last" (number 69), their first singles chart hit in seven years. Often, however, the material is only pedestrian, and although this album actually did a little better commercially than the group's two Warner Bros. albums of 1974, it didn't make for a real comeback. ~ William Ruhlmann Although AIRWAVES--the 1979 reunion album by original Badfinger members Joey Molland and Tom Evans--is not in the same league as Badfinger's early seventies power pop classics NO DICE and STRAIGHT UP, it is a strong album and perhaps the most pop-oriented record of Badfinger's career. Now reissued with improved sound, five bonus cuts and excellent liner notes, AIRWAVES provides ample proof that Badfinger made plenty of great music after the death of group leader Pete Ham. By the time of the reunion, both Molland and Evans developed into first-rate writers. The album's key track is Molland's "Love Is Gonna Come At Last," a soaring power pop single that was a minor hit for the group in 1979. Featuring a gorgeous melody, shimmering electric guitars and a superb vocal performance from Molland, the tune is arguably one of Badfinger's finest moments. Other tracks like the Evans' rocker "Look Out California" and the McCartneyesque ballad "Lost Inside Your Love" have also aged well and it's great to finally hear these wonderful tracks on CD.
CMJ (6/28/99, pp.29-30) - "...As evidenced by tracks such as the grand, melodic ballad "Lost Inside Your Love" and "Love Is Gonna Come At Last"..., even without the immeasurable songwriting talents of [guitarist Pete] Ham, Badfinger was still capable of writing some memorable songs."

$19.39 "Makes the Chapman stick sound as easy to learn as a recorder in kindergarten. There is a point where incredible technical savvy and the ability to touch listenerâs heart in a very simple and direct way converge. Whenever that happens, you know you have something special..." Tobias Fischer, Tokafi Guido Ponzini: News from an Imaginary WorldClear and pure is the sound of the Chapman Stick, provided a virtuoso like Guido Ponzini knows how to coax it out of this fretted string instrument. Born in 1985 in Manerbio, Italy, the enthusiastic and adventurous musician, an expert in atmospheric-epic sound sequences, shows us on his solo debut album that even a dream-dancer like himself neednât shy the limits in world music.âTwilight Townâ documents ...
