  • Alex Harvey and “The Tomahawk Kid”: Mode and Interpretation
    Alex Harvey and “The Tomahawk Kid”: Mode and Interpretation David Montgomery Abstract: Alex Harvey and the Sensational Alex Harvey Band achieved only marginal popularity during Harvey’s lifetime. Yet an examination of Harvey’s “The Tomahawk Kid,” based on Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island, shows an idiosyncratic musical style that combines rock and Scottish Celtic influences, subtle textual interpretation, unique compositional choices, and modal tonalities. Introduction The academic study of popular music oscillates between two preoccupations. On one hand, the dogmas of sub-cultural theory still influence popular music discourse and general cultural theory to a great degree. On the other hand, this discourse cannot escape the parameters of its label— popular. In essence, the two poles may be staked as cultural theory versus popular appreciation; but in a way difficult to describe, the application of critical theory has begun to seem more like an attempt to avoid an aesthetic conundrum— a kind of elevation of the demotic artefact to a height it cannot bear. Ever resourceful, the practitioners of popular music studies have wriggled out of this quandary and into the at least temporarily secure embrace of post­ feminist studies, world pop, and the ethnography of locale; in other words, into areas where inquiry is either of self-evident importance, exotic, or comfortably esoteric. Even if the locale is no more exotic than Glasgow, Scotland or Montgomery, Alabama, or the object mundane, the conceit of the critical stance has proven sufficient. Things change, canons crumble, time has done its work. The difficult “aesthetics” of popular music studies, the indeterminate nature of its aims, is a nagging problem.

Well, you’ll be pleasantly surprised to learn that although the industry has taken its share of abuse from artists over the years, it’s also received a few bouquets. For example, when writers from the hugely popular television show, Father Knows Best, were looking for a suitable profession for their lead character, they turned to insurance. Why?

  • C'mon! C'mon!: the Roots of Scottish Rock and Pop 1963-1970 Represents the First Ever Boxed Anthology of Scottish Beat Music
    DESCRIPTION With over 125 rare tracks, C'mon! C'mon! represents the first ever boxed anthology of Scottish beat music. Tracing the roots of the Scottish pop and progressive music scenes during its halcyon 1963-1969 period, C'mon! C'mon! highlights a lesser-known history that would richly contribute to the more widely acknowledged British 1960s music scene overall. While Lulu and Donovan may have made the successful journey to pop stardom, later iconic names such as the Average White Band , Stone The Crows , and the Sensational Alex Harvey Band would have their roots firmly placed in their native music scenes from Glasgow to Falkirk, Dundee, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, and the Orkneys. Boasting analytical liner notes, original memorabilia, and extensive, archival period photos, C'mon! C'mon! offers an exciting journey through the history of Scottish rock and pop. Full-color 96-page, perfect bound booklet with detailed liner notes and rare images. Features The Golden Crusaders , The Tremors , The Athenians , The Blues Council , Alex Harvey and the Soul Band , Bobby Patrick Big Six , Take Five , The Phantoms , The Sabres , The Black Ring , Isabel Bond , The V/A Echo Sounds , The Mark Five , The Boston Dexters , Campbelltown Zodiacs , The Nomads , The Jaguars , The McKinleys , Johnny Deen and C'mon!

  • 3Bringing the Beat
    BRINGING THE BEAT 25 with the Beatles – I’d seen him a few months earlier and I found myself comparing everything to his show. But when they dropped the covers and did one of their own tunes, you could feel things changing. They definitely had something there. But you couldn’t do a set of all your own songs in those days... and anyway, I was heading towards R&B. When I heard the Stones I knew I was right. The girlfriend didn’t last either! Nevertheless, the thirty-seven -date promotional tour propelled Please Please Me to the number one spot after a gradual climb, where it stayed for seven weeks. DJ Keith Fordyce told the NME: ‘I can’t think of any BRINGING THE BEAT other group recording in this style. I shan’t be in the least surprised to see the charts invaded by the Beatles.’ 3 And, lo! The beat boom had arrived. Finally there was a convincing direction for all the young post-skiffle bands that had been springing up across Scotland – unsure of their future, they’d been influenced by a wide range of musical styles, and that was to serve them well in the coming revolution. And for those who hadn’t struck a note in anger yet, there was a punk ethic at the top of the charts again, fuelled by the four-on-the- floor drum drive. Another generation of Scots reached for guitars thanks to the Liverpudlians – who once, The coldest night of my life was spent in a minibus between Aberdeen and Gills Bay, heading for Orkney, never let it be forgotten I suppose, had a Scot in their line-up.

  • Band of Friends
    BAND OF FRIENDS A celebration of the music of Rory Gallagher Winners of the European Blues Awards 2013 Not just the notes – but the sound, energy and feel of Rory Gallagher, delivered by people who helped define it…. “Really has the atmosphere of a Rory concert” - Lust for life “This is not a tribute band but a group of its own. The group works wonders” – Rock & Folk “Sparks fly from the first note. The Band of Friends is pure cracker” – Blues focus “The pleasure flies in your face” – Voor “A sturdy pot of blues rock – they impressed, and not only me” – Bluesbreaker “Emotional highlights – a fantastic interpretation” Rockblogblues “In the music industry its hard to find something this well done. Priceless” – Miuskk.com “Like no other power unit, they celebrate the amiable guitar hero’s passion on stage” – The blues alone BAND OF FRIENDS When the Irish guitarist – vocalist passed away, he left behind an eleven – album catalogue of inspired music, and the memory of unforgettably energetic concerts Bassist Gerry McAvoy (Rory Gallagher/Nine Below zero/Champion Jack Dupree/Deep Joy) appeared on every one of these albums. “ It must have been around 2006 when I started listening to all my old vinyl, which I hadn’t listened to for years. Among these records were my Rory Gallagher albums. I played them constantly, realising what great songs and what a great composer Rory really was. I wanted to take these songs and play them live, but I needed the right musicians. Ted McKenna (Rory Gallagher/Sensational Alex Harvey band/Michael Schenker group/Gary Moore/Greg Lake) came on board, as did Marcel Scherpenzeel (Guitar & vocals) who I had met a year or so before.

  • Nazareth Biography You Couldn’T Invent the Story of Nazareth If You Tried
    Nazareth Biography You couldn’t invent the story of Nazareth if you tried. At their peak, the Dunfermline rock group were huge, selling vast quantities of albums and pulling in enormous crowds to their shows. By rights, when the group’s profile receded a little and they morphed into the highly respected club-level regulars that they are today, their reputation should have become tarnished – but nothing of the sort has occurred. Nazareth are routinely hailed as that rare thing: pioneers who became legends in their own lifetimes. Like all the best bands, Nazareth came from humble roots. Playing Scottish clubs in their original incarnation as The Shadettes in the late 1960s, the group – singer Dan McCafferty, guitarist Manny Charlton, bassist Pete Agnew and drummer Darrell Sweet – were obliged to perform tongue-in-cheek cover versions of pop hits if they wanted to get paid after the gig. This state of affairs didn’t suit Nazareth and, with a drive that has always typified their career, the band quit their day jobs in 1971 and moved to a grotty communal flat in London. Changing their name and acquiring a manager, bingo millionaire Bill Fehilly, Nazareth signed to the Pegasus label and their fortunes began to change. Reviewing an early Nazareth album, Melody Maker’s Chris Charlesworth wrote: “Perhaps more groups should realise that someone else’s song well played is often a more uplifting experience than an original that’s mediocre.” In doing so Charlesworth identified one of the group’s key skills: the ability to take a song and put an exciting spin on it that attracted public attention.
