Taste- ON THE BOARDS- CD- 1970/1994/2000- Polydor Ltd. UK- 042284159920- 400 grn
ON THE BOARDS is the second album by Irish rock band Taste, released in January 1, 1970. It is their final studio album and the release that brought Rory Gallagher to prominence. The second and final studio recording by Irish guitarist Rory Gallagher's neo-Cream trio reins in the playing to focus more on songwriting. The material is a virtual grab bag of blues-rock styles, moving from driving rockers ("What's Going On," "I'll Remember") and basic boogies ("Morning Sun," "If I Don't Sing I'll Cry") to a bottleneck blitz ("Eat My Words") and a pair of acoustic ballads. There's a pronounced jazzy tinge to his spiky guitar and never-again-heard alto sax on the slow blues of the title track and "It's Happened Before, It'll Happen Again," the latter giving the Richard McCracken-John Wilson rhythm section a chance to stretch out and swing fluidly. The lyrics, never a Gallagher strong suit, are pretty simplistic, but the chorus hooks do stick. It could all have added up to one big eclectic mess, but for the often one-dimensional, sometimes ham-fisted Gallagher, the laudable variety turns ON THE BOARDS into the high point of his recording career.
PERSONNEL: Rory Gallagher - guitars, vocals, alto saxophone, harmonica; Richard "Charlie" McCracken – bass guitar; John Wilson – drums.
Well, seems that even such a diehard bluesy band as Taste couldn't really stop at playing generic blues. Damn these British - that's the trouble with them, they never know where to stop! This, the second and last Taste studio album, shows the band moving in several new directions at once. They still pay tribute to the blues, you see, and overall this album is still more 'blues' than 'rock' or anything else, but no longer a 'pure blues' album. On here, Rory adds significant elements of folk, jazz and even psychedelia into the sound and, well, the lyrics, as well as diversifying the instrumentation - for instance, playing saxophone on some of the tracks. Even more amazing, the guy displays hints of a genuine songwriting talent: at least, his inventive take on the blues gotta qualify as one of the most inventive takes on the blues I've ever heard, although in the end Cream's inventive take on the blues is probably just a bit more inventive. But Cream are Cream - rock patriarchs if there ever was one, and Taste? Who knows em? Sure, that one had the stinky ''Catfish Blues'' on it, but ''On The Boards'' is even more stinky. On the other hand, Taste was far more energetic and happy - here the band sometimes seems to be losing it. And the overall gloomy, grim feeling of the record sometimes gets on nerves: all the jazzy improvisations turn out to be quite depressing, particularly on ''It's Happened Before''. Then again, it's blues, after all, so no need to complaining, moreover, on here Rory is inarguably more diverse and creative. So it's up to you to decide - and anyway, this is all small talk, since you probably won't be able to find any of these albums in stores. There are some decent collections around, though, so if you find one, be sure to lay your hands on it if you're not one of those jerks who says electric blues is a waste of time!
