Backwater (band)
Backwater was an American jazz fusion band formed in Mobile, Alabama, that was active in the 1970s. The group was founded by Robby Catlin and Scott Pettersen, with Larry Hardin and Trippe Thomason completing the lineup. The quartet formed in 1975, playing clubs and working as session musicians in Birmingham, Alabama. The group's first album, ''Backwater'' (1976), sold well throughout the Southeast and received radio airplay, leading to touring with B.B. King, Bonnie Raitt, and Emmylou Harris. Lineup changes plagued the band for much of the rest of their career. Pettersen, Catlin, and Tom and Myra Woodruff produced one more album (''North of the Mason-Dixon and the Heart of Dixie'' in 1978) before breaking up as the decade ended. The band's original members reunited for a concert in 1997. History Formation and debut album (early to mid 1970s) In the early 1970s, Robby Catlin formed Backwater as a trio playing cover music.

Before And After Science
''Before and After Science'' is the fifth studio album by British musician Brian Eno. Produced by Eno and Rhett Davies, it was originally released by Polydor Records in December 1977 in the United Kingdom and by Island U.S. soon after. Musicians from the U.K. and Germany collaborated on the album, including Robert Wyatt of Soft Machine, Fred Frith of Henry Cow, Phil Manzanera of Roxy Music, Paul Rudolph of Hawkwind, Andy Fraser of Free, Dave Mattacks of Fairport Convention, Jaki Liebezeit of Can, and Dieter Moebius and Hans-Joachim Roedelius of Cluster. Over one hundred tracks were written with only ten making the album's final cut. The musical styles of the album range from energetic and jagged to languid and pastoral. The album marks Eno's last foray into rock music as a solo artist in the 1970s, with nearly all of his following albums showcasing more of Eno's avant-garde and ambient music, which was hinted at on the second half of ''Before and After Science''. The album w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Quo (Status Quo Album)
''Quo'' is the seventh studio album by the English rock band Status Quo. Issued in May 1974, it features Francis Rossi, Rick Parfitt, Alan Lancaster and John Coghlan, and reached #2 in the UK. Like its predecessor ''Hello!'', it consisted entirely of songs written or cowritten by the group. The only guest musicians were Bob Young and Tom Parker, who played harmonica and piano respectively on "Break the Rules". The album is regarded as one of their heaviest, possibly due to the influence of bassist Alan Lancaster, who cowrote six of the eight tracks. "When we wrote 'Drifting Away'," recalled Parfitt, "it sounded so, so heavy. That rhythm was constant, right in your face. It was just such a turn-on. That's where my head was at back then. You know: just let it fucking rock." The UK LP contained a gatefold insert with a picture of the band playing live on one side, and the lyrics on the other. The sleeve art was by British artist Dave Field. The band believed the opening "B ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Backwater (river)
A backwater is a part of a river in which there is little or no current. It can refer to a branch of a main river, which lies alongside it and then rejoins it, or to a body of water in a main river, backed up by the sea tide or by an obstruction such as a dam. Manmade restrictions to natural stream flow or temporary natural obstructions such as ice jams, vegetation blockage, or flooding of a lower stream can create backwater. Alternative channel If a river has developed one or more alternative courses in its evolution, one channel is usually designated the main course, and secondary channels may be termed backwaters. The main river course will usually have the fastest stream and will likely be the main navigation route; backwaters may be shallower and flow more slowly, if at all. Some backwaters are rich in mangrove forest. This results in a more diverse environment of scientific interest and worthy of preservation. Backwaters also provide opportunities for leisure activities such ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

In the United States, a backcountry or backwater is a geographical area that is remote, undeveloped, isolated, or difficult to access. Terminology Backcountry and wilderness within United States national parks The National Park Service (NPS) generally uses the term "backcountry" to refer to "primitive, undeveloped portions of parks".
