Comments and Reviews


Juke Jules SUBS 23rd Mar 2023		Returning to this I tried again on YT, and there I found Eric Burdon performing his track live in Germany in 2008. The comments credit the band as Hilton Valentine - guitar, Red Young - keyboards, Billy Watts - guitar, Paula O'Rourke - bass, Tony Braunagel - drums. This is slightly at variance with the dates given in his Wikipedia entry but is clearly the same band.



Juke Jules SUBS 28th Nov 2020		Review This is a strange album, not least because while none of the tracks are original 'hit' versions there are no details of where and when they were recorded. Some are live recordings, mostly in the later age of the artists, some seem to be by 'tribute' bands who have bought the rights to work under the name of the bands who had the hits. It starts with "Eric Burdon And The Animals" playing Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood, and my natural instinct was to skip this old blues number as we know it so well with Alan Price on Hammond and Eric Burdon on fuzz guitar, but I got a surprise: it starts quietly with an etherial piano part, leaving you wondering who is the accomplished pianist. A hint of strings (synth) joins in, the pace remains very slow, and Burdon eventually joins in as a duet with the piano, singing as if struggling with his emotions. Then in comes the Hammond, joined by the drums. "If I seem edgy I just want you to know" is taken in a Blue-Beat style. Then comes a guitar break, played in the style of Eric Clapton, then back into Blue-Beat, leading up to a very slow ending. Total track length is 6:30 - I'd love to know where and when this was recorded. The Applejacks here have a singer in his later years. White Plains with My Girl however is on YouTube, from a 2009 album, though it doesn't sound like any of the 70s bands put together for the road by John Shakespeare The Troggs tracks sound like a tribute band playing through the repertoire, all except for "Black Bottom" which turns out to be the same track as released on a French 45, another terrific track with some unexpected humour! So don't buy this CD if you want to hear the original hits, but do buy it if want some interesting re-takes of the "Brit-pop" material. 4 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
