Brian Auger Mkv

The debut album from the formation of Julie Driscoll, Brian Auger & The Trinity, this record introduced to America a group that had been making some noise in England for some time already. The album is a bit fragmented, containing a few Julie Driscoll solo tracks, as well as some Auger/Trinity efforts without Driscoll. One of the most amazing moments opens the record: Driscoll's solo hit (in Europe), "I Know You Love Me Not." A swirling, churning string arrangement - not unlike a psychedelic Phil Spector - is the ground work for Driscoll's steely vocals. She come across as a combination of Dusty Springfield and Annie Lennox with a passionate performance. It's truly one of the great lost British records of the era, and alone is worth the price of the record…

‘Far Horizons’ presents the groups four legendary studio albums, fully remastered under Brian’s guidance, with digitally restored artwork.

Rudy Rotta is an Italian blues guitarist who lives near Verona. Rotta achieved success in Italy before touring in other European countries. His reputation spread to the United States where he gained great popularity. His music combines a modern style with blues roots and a rocky funk soul character. Some consider him one of the best blues musicians in the world. His current double CD "Me, My Music And My Life" shows his impressive work in celebration of his 40 years in show business. In addition to his best works he also recorded some Italian songs as a bonus.

Recorded 1967-1969. Only covers fill up this album (but this was a usual thing back then), a good deal coming from Motown (after all Brian emerged from the British Rhythm'n Blues crowd), others from folkies (Dylan, Nyro and Donovan) and other rockier groups (the Doors), but the whole state of the art is accommodating and arranging the tracks to fit the Trinity mould. This is done mostly with good studio musicians guesting in on the three-man unit's (and their diva) solid base. Auger, drummer Thacker and bassist Ambrose do provide a good background for Jools, but don't shine much like in their excellent Befour album, but there is some good brass arrangements on some of these tracks.

A 2CD set from organ supremo Brian Auger that includes the 1969 album Streetnoise, produced by Giorgio Gomelsky and featuring Julie Driscoll and Trinity, plus sixties compilation The Mod Years.
The final collaboration between singer Julie Driscoll (by that time dubbed as "The Face" by the British music weeklies) and Brian Auger's Trinity was 1969's Streetnoise - it was an association that had begun in 1966 with Steampacket, a band that also featured Rod Stewart and Long John Baldry. As a parting of the ways, however, it was Trinity's finest moment. A double album featuring 16 tracks, more than half with vocals by Driscoll, the rest absolutely burning instrumentals by Trinity…
