BRASS CONSTRUCTION?

Brass Tacks (A Horn Rock Experience 1968-1975) is a new 3-CD box set that explores the explosion of horn-led rock between 1968 and 1975, as artists blended brass and woodwind with hard rock, prog, jazz, R&B and psychedelia to create a bold new sound. The compilation brings together major names, leftfield discoveries and cult curiosities. Cherry Red represents a strong selection of artists featured, including Rock Workshop, Patto, The Alan Bown, Red Alligator, The Web, Arthur Brown, Wynder K. Frog, Jimmy Powell, Affinity, Bond + Brown, Dear Mr. Time, Andy Ellison, Mike Hurst, Funky Bottom Congregation and B.B. Blunder.

Track Of The Week

FOXY FRIENDS

Noosha Fox and friends injected some sophisticated glamour into the UK charts of the mid-1970s. Fox‘s ‘Only You Can’ peaked at No. 3 while ‘S-S-S Single Bed‘ peaked one place lower. ‘If I Point At The Moon’, taken from their 1975 self-titled album, is a lilting, sublime pop ditty that sounds remarkably timeless. The song is featured in the US drama mini-series A Friend Of The Family, which aired recently on the Peacock network.
