Many jazz organists played the instrument down and dirty, and while there's funk in Roach's playing, his style is ultimately lighter than many of his peers, with clean, concise solos and chords... the signature of ''Down to Earth'' is Roach's tasteful bluesy ...[...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Down To Earth (Rainbow Album)
''Down to Earth'' is the fourth studio album by the British hard rock band Rainbow. It is their last album to feature drummer Cozy Powell and their only album with vocalist Graham Bonnet. Released in 1979, it contains Rainbow's first hit single "Since You Been Gone", marking a more commercial direction of the band's sound. Writing and recording The writing of ''Down to Earth'' began at Ritchie Blackmore's house in Connecticut in December 1978. By that time, he had dismissed both bassist Bob Daisley and keyboard player David Stone soon after singer Ronnie James Dio quit the band. Blackmore had already recruited his old Deep Purple bandmate Roger Glover as producer and started auditioning musicians for the vacant slots in the band, while songwriting progressed with Blackmore, Cozy Powell and session musician Clive Chaman on bass. The backing tracks were largely written by Blackmore and Glover. "It was a great opportunity for me, and why should I bear a grudge '' bout being dismis ...

Critical reception In a contemporary review for ''The Village Voice'', music critic Robert Christgau gave ''Down to Earth'' an "A−" and was impressed by Love's proud sensibilities, as she "radiates sisterhood even though she concentrates on the guys, and positivity and tradition" without much culturally or politically conscious lyrics. Alex Henderson was less enthusiastic in a retrospective review for AllMusic, in which he gave the album three-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote that Love raps well, but lacks worthwhile stories o ...

Down To Earth (Jimmy Buffett Album)
''Down to Earth'' is the debut studio album by American popular music singer-songwriter Jimmy Buffett. It was produced by Travis Turk and was released on August 11, 1970 on Andy Williams's Barnaby Records label as Z 30093. A compact disc was released by Varèse Sarabande in June 1998. Songs All of the songs on ''Down to Earth'' were written or co-written by Buffett. "The Captain and the Kid" was re-recorded thrice by Buffett: '' Havaña Daydreamin''', '' Meet Me in Margaritaville: The Ultimate Collection'' and ''Songs You Don't Know by Heart''. The folk-rock style of music and lyrics on ''Down to Earth'' and ''High Cumberland Jubilee'' differ greatly from Buffett's subsequent output. There is less of the country music feel and little of the gulf and western, Key-West-influenced sound and themes that have defined his musical career. Allmusic reviewer William Ruhlmann notes that "this is not the freewheeling Jimmy Buffett of 'Margaritaville,' but rather a thoughtful folk-rock si ...
