Cozy Powell & Tony Martin

2005 - Tony Martin - Scream



Scream is the second solo album of Tony Martin. Released on November 8, 2005, Martin even produced the album himself. The song "Raising Hell" features the drumming of legendary drummer Cozy Powell based on a rejected song keyboard player Geoff Nicholls wrote for their Black Sabbath days. On most songs, Tony's son Joe Harford plays guitar. Nearly all other instruments are played by Tony himself (including a violin solo on "Scream").
Scream certainly is a very worthwhile album. It might not be the best melodic Rock CD we have heard this year, but it is good to hear that Tony Martin is still around. Fans of classic Hard Rock could do far worse than to give this one a listen. Not groundbreaking but a very solid effort altogether.

Cozy Powell & Julie Felix

Julie Felix - Clotho's Web (1972)



A pretty wild mix of airy acoustic folk and some surprisingly rockish touches from Julie Felix. the 1972 album Clotho's Web recorded with producer Mickie Most for RAK Records which mixes some rockish elements of electric bass and heavy drums in spots, without taking away the acoustic folk revivalist touches. Julie's voice is versatile, and conveys moods masterfully, and the sound is a pretty sweet mix of pop and rock ready moods with more traditional elements.

Cozy Powell & Murray Head

Murray Head - Nigel Lived (1973)



Released in 1972, 'Nigel Lived' is Murray Head's first solo LP. It's a concept album, using pages of a diary as the basis of the songs. The album artwork even included pages of the fictitious diary, along with the lyrics. The story is the journey of an actor who leaves his small hometown and comes to the big city to find fame and fortune, and the two different sides of the album describe first his success and then failure as his life falls apart.
The line up consists of some outstanding musicians including Cozy Powell (Rainbow;Emmerson Lake & Powell), Michael Giles (King Crimson) Peter Giles (King Crimson) and Jimmy Hastings (Caravan).

Murray Head: This was my first solo record. I was obsessed with recording natural sounds and wanted to do a film in sound. As the idea developed I found it veering naturally toward an autobiography. I also felt the need to separate the subjective from the objective. I decided on the concept of a songwriter who finds a diary and writes songs around various lines and phrases he chooses from it - so dealing with the inside and the outside of my head at the same time.

Track list:
1. Pacing On The Station
2. Big City
3. Bed & Breakfast
4. The Party

6. City Scurry
