Home To Roost (Atomic Rooster Album)
''Home to Roost'' is a compilation album by British rock band Atomic Rooster. It is made up of material from their first three studio albums. It has been issued on at least three separate occasions. The first time was in 1977, as a double LP on the Mooncrest label. In 1986 it was reissued with a new sleeve design on the Raw Power (Castle Communications) label. This time, the two LPs were accompanied by a 12 track CD release, which was Atomic Rooster's first in that format. Early CDs only had just over one hour's maximum playing time, causing 8 of the 20 tracks to be omitted, in order to facilitate a single disc. Lastly, it was reissued in 1989 by Receiver Records Receiver or receive may refer to: Arts, entertainment, and media Music Albums * ''Receiver'' (album), the second and final album of the band Farmer Not So John, released in 1998 * ''Receivers'' (album), the fourth full-length release from Part ..., rather confusingly retitled ''Devil's Answer'' and sporting yet anot ...

Atomic Rooster
Atomic Rooster are a British rock band originally formed by members of The Crazy World of Arthur Brown, organist Vincent Crane and drummer Carl Palmer. Throughout their history, keyboardist Vincent Crane was the only constant member and wrote the majority of their material. Their history is defined by two periods: the early-mid-1970s and the early 1980s. The band went through radical style changes, but they are best known for the hard, progressive rock sound of their hit singles, " Tomorrow Night" (UK No. 11) and "Devil's Answer" (UK No. 4), both in 1971. In 2016 Atomic Rooster reformed with permission from Crane's widow, with the new line-up featuring two members from the various 1970s incarnations of the band. History Original period (1969–1975) In the summer of 1969, the Crazy World of Arthur Brown split in the middle of a second US tour.

Rock (music)

E. Studwell and D. F. Lonergan, ''The Classic Rock and Roll Reader: Rock Music from its Beginnings to the mid-1970s'' (Abingdon: Routledge, 1999), p.xi It has its roots in 1940s and 1950s rock and roll, a style that drew directly from the blues and rhythm and blues genres of African-American music and from country music. Rock also drew strongly from a number of other genres such as electric blues and folk, and incorporated influences from jazz, classical, and other musical styles. For instrumentation, rock has centered on the electric guitar, usually as part of a rock group with electric bass guitar, drums, and one or more singers. Usually, rock is song-based music with a time signature using a verse–chorus form, but ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
