Mick Ralphs- TAKE THIS!- CD- 1984/1998- Rock Machine Records/Angel Air Records- 5016272883727- 400 grn
First solo album released in the UK in 1984 on Rock Machine Recordsby the legendary Mick Ralphs of Mott The Hoople and Bad Company fame. The Angel Air issue added ten demos/working mixes/alternate takes as bonus tracks. This optimistically titled solo album found Bad Company's guitar ace treading a softer, less insistent path from his platinum day job, although the band's skin-basher, Simon Kirke, makes an appearance. However, the results failed to translate among diehards still pining for the "Can't Get Enough" era. Even so, Mick Ralphs' album deserved a better reception than it received, for this is the sound of someone enjoying himself, trends be damned. He convincingly dishes out low-key country ("Last Chance Saloon"), glistening pop ("All It Takes"), melodic ballads ("Another Lonely Day"), and the breezy title track's fleet-footed jazz fusion, which wouldn't be amiss on a Crusaders album. The ever-dutiful Mick Ralphs does throw the faithful a crunchy bone or two on "When The Revolution Comes" and "Rock Fever," although they sound more reserved than his parent band's fare. Angel Air has included ten demos and rough mixes. While not essential listening, they do lend an appropriate "you are there" feel to the recording, and two solid unreleased tunes, "Rock N Roller" and "All Across The Nile". There's also an illuminating booklet packed with choice Ralphs-isms, whether he discusses the album-oriented rock leanings of "On The Run" or his aborted solo career. Such candor is refreshing, since Ralphs' lyrics will hardly set the world alight, nor do his vocals prove more than serviceable, as his shaky attempt at the 1962 soul chestnut "Hey Baby" demonstrates. "Shame I can't sing," his booklet notes cheerfully observe. Bad Company freaks probably still won't make sense of the proceedings here, but aficionados of melodic, well-crafted pop should definitely find this reissue.
PERSONNEL: Simon Kirke - drums; Mickey Feat - bass; B.J. Cole - pedal steel; Vicky Brown, Sam Browne, Stevie Lange - backing vocals; Mick Ralphs - all other instruments, vocals.
Mick Ralphs, founder member of Mott The Hoople, founder member of Bad Company. Two of the best and influential bands to come out of the UK in the 70's. The man responsible for writing ''Rock 'N' Roll Queen'', ''Thunderbuck Ram'', ''Can't Get Enough'' and ''Ready For Love''. A tasteful and tuneful guitarist who isn't afraid to handle vocal duties as well. So a solo album by this guitarist should be something any rock fan worth his salt should be drooling over. Originally recorded and released in the mid-80's it didn't receive any promotion from a record company wanting a Bad Company record, and it sank without trace. US label Griffin subsequently issued it on CD in the mid-90's, but it was difficult to find. Now Angel Air have picked up the cudgels and reissued it with no fewer than ten bonus tracks. You also get an excellent 12-page booklet, which include track-by-track notes and a comprehensive Mick Ralphs discography. The bonus tracks are good and should really be regarded as "alternative mixes" rather than demos or works-in-progress. The sleeve-notes confirm that Mick had all these songs ready but Bad Company were'nt functioning any more, so he booked the studio and recorded them himself. Simon Kirke plays drums and Mickey Feat played bass, and Mick did everything else, including the arrangements and production. The album suffers because of this. There is no balls to Mick's playing and ultimately the songs are just not memorable. But... And something Steve Vai has in solo works which left us cold. On this basis this CD a "strictly for die-hards fan".
