Prog Synch Listen: Renaissance Wandered

[C]

I just adore this album - it takes me back to 1969 and my schoolyears - I was 16

ooooof!

The piano is just incredible







.

[Spock!]

Jim McCarty had a chance to really swing with Renaissance

His tubs were always a bit restricted when he was with The Yardbirds





.

Yes.


Think I saw him guesting with a reformed band from the 60s whose name I can't currently recall. The lead singer sported a deerstalker. Sounded a bit like a garage Yardbirds.

Top Topham opened.

Plenty to sway to, tap your foot to and nod your head to JJ....!






.

[C]

The quality of the recording is just stunning





.

[C]

Now we're rocking!!





.

[Spock!]

Any Renaissance in the Prog Cup yet? I'm just starting into round 7 & don't recall any yet.

No, but if there is it will be that Annie Haslam/Illusion nonsense sans the Relfs et alia

[a bit of French and Latin in the same sentence - cool!]

Not a fan then?




Not sharp enough for a trilingual response, salutant te.




Piano is outstanding.

[C]

I don't know if you have seen this but perhaps soemthing to watch later












Island - lovely

Okay, Jane Relf was no Maddy Prior or Sandy Denny but she is perfect for the fragility of some of these female vocal led tracks (Wanderer also)







.

[Spock!]

Now we're rocking!!





.

Heels & knees a starting to elevate and descend in pronounced rhythmical fashion.

[C]

Not a fan then?

No. But, in particular, I like to wind up one or two folk around these parts who take themselves far too seriously...!!

An interesting mental image....

Yes, fragile is the word that comes to mind. Like the blend of vocals - that sibling thing is often special.



Shall play the clip later indeed.

[Spock!]

There's a yearning quality to the vocals that is most endearing.

[C]

Marvellous - I love a bit of harpsichord me

I concur



.

[C]

I just adore it when the tambourine and vocals come in

fucque!






.

[C]

Go Jane GO!

Sadly to the last track - Bullet

Spooky stuff





.

[C]

Awesome!

.

Yes.


One of my musical highlights was at the Orange music Festival, summer of '79. A concert of baroque music in a medieval church including harpsichord & lute music lives long. Haydn's Creation in the Roman theatre , also part of the festival is another.

Epic.






Jane = cute.
