 (3 Customer Reviews)
This hard-to-find final album from 1970s country rockers Clover, whose members included John McFee and a pre-News Huey Lewis, sports the production of Robert "Mutt" Lange.
Not surprisingly, Clover's fourth and final album, the second of its British sojourn, had a harder rock edge than its predecessors. Clover had come over to England as a California country-rock outfit, only to land in the middle of the punk rock revolt. Its first British album, Clover (or Unavailable, as it was called in the U.K.) retained the country sound, but by the end of 1977, the band was all up-tempo rock and twin guitar leads, courtesy of Alex Call and John McFee. The music wasn't punk, exactly, but it was more aggressive. Still, Clover remained an essentially good-natured musicians' band, as the loose a cappella version of Leiber & Stoller's "Keep on Rolling" demonstrated. In another time and place, maybe that would have mattered. ~ William Ruhlmann
A real collector's item as it has never been before been released on CD.This is Clover’s 1977 follow up to “Unavailable”. Produced by Robert John Mutt Lange (AC/DC, Shania Twain, Def Leppard).This was sadly the band’s last album before John McFee went on to join The Doobie Brothers, and Huey Lewis formed the “News”. Interestingly, Clover supported Thin Lizzy promoting “Love On The Wire” and is the reason why Huey Lewis performs on Lizzy’s “Live and Dangerous!” record.
Personnel: John McFee (vocals, guitar, slide guitar, steel guitar, violin); Alex Call (vocals, guitar); Huey Lewis, Huey Louis (vocals, harmonica); Sean Hopper (vocals, keyboards, percussion); John Ciambotti (vocals, bass guitar); Tony Braunagel (drums).
Audio Mixers: Robert John "Mutt" Lange; Bill Price .

Love On The Wire Music Review Average Rating: (3.3 out of 5 stars)   Brilliant...
Copied this album to a music-cassette in late 70`s and listned to it now and then. the years passed on and in 2003 I stumbled over a un-used vinyl version in a record shop in Norway. I promptly took it home an digitalised it(audacity), and no I can enjoy listen to it on my computer,in my car and on my iPod. Brilliant.

 Pretty Good, but Could be better
It's too bad Huey Lewis didn't sing more but where he does these guys cooked.

Love On The Wire album
 $14.38   
Glitter and Doom Live, a double-disc set, marks Tom Waits' third live effort in his nearly 40-year career, each one summing up his career to the point of its release. The first, Nighthawks at the Diner issued in 1975 on Asylum, is regarded by many as one of the greatest live albums of all time. The second was Big Time, released during his tenure at Island in 1986. The musical performances on disc one of Glitter and Doom Live were culled from Waits' historic sold-out tour of the U.S. and Europe. He compiled and sequenced the set himself, intending to make them sound like a single show. The material leans, understandably, on his recordings with the Anti label. There are stellar performances here, such as "Get Behind the Mule" from The Mule Variations, "Trampled Rose" from Real Gone, and a haunting version of Leadbelly's "Fannin Street" from Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers & Bastards, to mention just three of the 17 cuts here. But he goes back to his Island albums too. For instance, there are completely re-visioned readings of "Lucky Day" and "I'll Shoot the Moon" from 1993's Black Rider, and a killer -- though equally revamped -- version of "Singapore" from 1985's Rain Dogs. Musically, the performances are flawless, as is the sound on this set. The killer stage band includes Vincent Henry on woodwinds and ...

Love On The Wire CD music
$14.19 
It's no secret that Sting is a serious man, so it's only logical that his holiday album -- his first new music since the Police reunion, not that it really matters -- is a serious endeavor, thank you. No niceties for him, no comforts of carols; he favors formal over familiar, writing madrigals, not ditties. It is music made by someone who lives in a castle, which isn't necessarily such a bad thing: the austerity is genuine, not affected, and the cerebral nature of the album is fascinating, albeit mildly so, as this is as sleepy as it is thoughtful. And it's that thoughtfulness that does distinguish IF ON A WINTER NIGHT...; no other Christmas album exists in the head like this. It's a holiday album for people who have never wanted to hear a ...

Within a couple years, Canadian teenager Justin Bieber went from covering Usher on YouTube to working with Usher. An internet sensation from his renditions of several pop and pop-oriented R&B hits, he was still only 15 years old when he released this, his first album -- though it's more like an EP since it is contains only seven songs that are 25 minutes in ...
| | Rod Stewart Never A Dull Moment (Gold) CD (1972) Gold
Love On The Wire album
$19.10 
NEVER A DULL MOMENT picks up where EVERY PICTURE TELLS A STORY left off. Here we have more raucous rock & roll with healthy dollops of soul and twang thrown in for good measure. Always looking for a good songwriter to cover, Stewart's honorees here include Jimi Hendrix ("Angel"), Dylan ("Mama You Been On My Mind"), and Rod's personal hero, Sam Cooke ("Twistin' The Night Away"). Sidling up nicely next to these heartfelt interpretations are some of Stewart's finest original songs. Teaming with spiritual brother Ron Wood, Stewart offers up the cheeky "Italian Girls" and "True Blue," a track that ...

At first glance, Halford's entry into the crowded holiday market looks like a parody. Heavy metal and Christmas make for strange bedfellows, and WINTER SONGS' pastoral cover art -- which depicts Rob Halford staring wistfully (with a goatee and shades) into a soft, snowy pine forest ...
