COZY POWELL & PHENOMENA

1984 - Phenomena - Phenomena

Supergroups have been common in the realm of hard rock for decades -- some have worked wonders (Cream), while some, well, stunk (too many to mention). One of the more obscure ones to surface was the '80s outfit Phenomena, who debuted in 1985 with a self-titled release, and featured contributions from the likes of Glenn Hughes (Deep Purple), Don Airey (Ozzy Osbourne), and a trio of ex-Whitesnake members -- Mel Galley, Neil Murray, and Cozy Powell. Those expecting tough, rip-roaring heavy metal may be a bit disappointed by the album (which features a cover shot of a young girl quite reminiscent of Linda Blair circa The Exorcist). Keep in mind -- the mid-'80s was the era of polished, keyboard-heavy, melodic rock, and Phenomena fit in with the musical climate, especially on such tracks as the album-opening "Kiss of Fire" and "Still the Night." If GTR could have scored a hit or two around this time, with the right push, there's no reason why Phenomena couldn't have also. ~ Greg Prato, All Music Guide.


Track List:
1.Kiss of Fire
2. Still the Night
3. Dance with the Devil
4. Phoenix Rising
5. Believe

COZY POWELL & BRIAN MAY

1992 - Brian May - Back To The Light

Back To The Light, Brian's long-awaited debut solo album, was released in September 1992, in conjunction with Too Much Love Will Kill You; both hit the Top Ten in their respective charts, with the album reaching #6 and the single peaking at #5. (In the United States, the album even charted at #159, with a bonus track of Driven By You, with Cozy Powell on drums and Neil Murray on bass.) Two further singles – the title track, #19 UK, and Resurrection, #33 – were extracted from the album, though the main point of interest was Brian's world tour, the first time he had gone out as a solo artist. The Brian May Band – Brian on vocals and guitars, Cozy Powell on drums, Neil Murray on bass, Spike Edney on keyboards, Mike Caswell on guitars, and Maggie Ryder, Miriam Stockley, and Chris Thompson on backing vocals – debuted on November 1, 1992, in Buenos Aires, with a five-date tour of South America. By the time the band wound its way to North America in February, Caswell, Ryder, Stockley, and Thompson were replaced by Jamie Moses on guitars and Cathy Porter and Shelley Preston on backing vocals, which would be the lineup that would remain steady for the remainder of the year.

Track list:
1. The Dark
2. Back to the Light
3. Love Token
4. Resurrection
5. Too Much Love Will Kill You
6. Driven by You
7. Nothin' But Blue
8. I'm Scared
9. Last Horizon
10. Let Your Heart Rule Your Head
11. Just One Life
12. Rollin' Over

Line up:
Brian May - vocals, backing vocals, guitars and keyboards

1993 - Brian May - Live At The Brixton Academy

Live at the Brixton Academy is a recording of The Brian May Band's first show in London on June 15 1993. The album is an almost complete and unedited version of the concert. Their performance of John Lennon's "God (The Dream Is Over)" was not included on the album due to copyright issues. Keyboard player Spike Edney had to play a second solo (neither are on the CD, the first being on the video) after May had technical problems before playing "Last Horizon". Also, "Back To The Light", "Tie Your Mother Down", "Love Token", "Headlong", "Let Your Heart Rule Your Head", "Resurrection" (in particular, Cozy Powell's drum solo), "We Will Rock You" and "Hammer to Fall" are all slightly shortened on the CD, but appear in full on the 90-minute video of the same event. The spoken part after "Love Token" has been cut because it contained too many profanities, but it can be heard fully on the unofficial audience recording.

Track list:
1. Back to the Light
2. Driven by You
3. Tie Your Mother Down
4. Love Token
5. Headlong
6. Love of My Life
7. 39/Let Your Heart Rule Your Head
8. Too Much Love Will Kill You
9. Since You've Been Gone
10. Now I'm Here
11. Guitar Extravagance
12. Resurrection
13. Last Horizon
14. We Will Rock You
15. Hammer to Fall

Line up:
Brian May - Vocals, Guitar
Cozy Powell - Drums

COZY POWELL & GARY MOORE

1989 - Gary Moore - After The War

The last album of the era for Gary, and the last of a kind for Gary as well. Moore's 1989 release features a much welcomed return to the metal guitar stylings of his earlier albums. Cuts like "Speak for Yourself" and "Running From The Storm" are certainly up to the standards set on "Cooridors of Power" and "Victims of the Night." However, there are some hints of what was to come as well with the bluesy "The Messiah Will Come Again," which heralds Moore's new birth as a blues guitarist. Ozzy Osbourne makes a guest appearance on lead vocals in the tongue and cheek track "Led Clones" which takes a pot shot at bands like Kingdom Come and Great White, who while having platinum albums at thetime, were obviously borrowing their entire sound and image from Led Zeppelin. Ozzy also does some background vocals on "Speak for Yourself." Gary once again pays tribute to his childhood friend and musical brother, Philip Lynott in the emotional song "Blood of Emeralds". Overall, this album is so far superior to the pop leanings of his last album "Wild Frontiers" it's literally like comparing apples and onions. Once tastes sweet, the other just stinks.

Track list:
1. Dunluce (Part I)
2. After the War
3. Speak for Yourself
4. Livin' on Dreams
5. Led Clones
6. Messiah Will Come Again
7. Running from the Storm

COZY POWELL with BLACK SABBATH

1989 - Black Sabbath - Headless Cross

Black Sabbath was still the band we all know and love. This album showed that they could fight to maintain a powerful position in the metal world. Tony Martin really takes the cake here because he outdoes everyone and proves he is just as good as Dio and Ozzy.If you're going to be an ass about who sings on this album, then you're an arrogant prick and you have no idea what you're missing. Headless Cross is without a doubt a classic.

Track list:
1. Gates of Hell
2. Headless Cross
3. Devil & Daughter
4. When Death Calls
5. Kill in the Spirit World
6. Call of the Wild
7. Black Moon
8. Nightwing

Line up:
Tony Iommi – guitars
Tony Martin – lead vocals
Geoff Nicholls – keyboards
Laurence Cottle – bass
Cozy Powell – drums, percussion
Brian May – guitar solo on "When Death Calls"

1990 - Black Sabbath - Tyr

It’s a strong album. Stronger than I remembered, especially Tony’s Martin’s voice. The live show must have been great because Iommi and Powell are always top-notch and I believe Martin to be at his vocal peak of his career. The guitar is always the highlight on a Sabbath album but Martin truly shines, which is one of the reason’s why a reunion of the HEAVEN & HELL lineup (with Dio) shouldn’t have happened following this album/tour.

Track list:
1. Anno Mundi
2. The Law Maker
3. Jerusalem
4. The Sabbath Stones
5. The Battle Of Tyr
6. Odin’s Court
7. Valhalla
8. Feels Good To Me
9. Heaven In Black

Line up:
Tony Iommi – Guitars
Tony Martin – Vocals
Neil Murray – Bass
Cozy Powell – Drums
Geoff Nicholls – Keyboards

1995 - Black Sabbath - Forbidden

If this is to be the last studio album from Sabbath, then it is certainly a disappointment. Tony Martin has called the album "total crap," and Geoff Nichols has said that "the album was recorded in ten days and it shows." So even the band members aren't behind this release, and it seems the album was recorded just to fulfill contractual obligations to IRS records.
Many Sabbath fans point to 1983’s BORN AGAIN (with Ian Gillan on vocals) as the most poorly produced Black Sabbath album due to it’s “muddy” mix. Those fans can now turn to FORBIDDEN for that title.

Track list:
1. Illusion of Power
2. Get a Grip
3. Can't Get Close Enough
4. Shaking Off the Chains
5. I Won't Cry for You
6. Guilty as Hell
7. Sick and Tired
8. Rusty Angels
9. Forbidden
10. Kiss of Death

Line up:
Tony Iommi – guitars
Tony Martin – vocals
Neil Murray – bass
Cozy Powell – drums
Geoff Nicholls – keyboards

Additional personnel:
Ice T – vocals on "The Illusion of Power"
