Show Jtte new music Starr (Apple) : I knew this album would be strange in one way or another: an-other: it's all 1930' s stuff like the title song, "Star Dust." "You Always Hurt the One You Love," and "Have I Told You Lately That I Love You?" The arrangements are very nice, if vou like Glenn Miller. George Martin Mar-tin the Beatles' ingenious guru, produces pro-duces the album it's really kind of a trip . . . novel anyway. Also Mc-Cartnev's Mc-Cartnev's album, if you haven't al-readv al-readv heard, is right on. It's quite simple (he plavs all instruments himself) him-self) but verv melodic and very different. differ-ent. McCartney's wife, Linda helps out on some vocal harmony, but other than that it's all Paul. BY STEVE POULSON Last Week Last week's "new music" column col-umn did not materialize because I, along with a few others, was undergoing a realization of some of the sick things happening in this country. I'm really not into politics poli-tics that much, but when a person realizes that his country's President Presi-dent has a Hitler complex and that a lot of the country is digging it well, it's kind of hard for even a music freak to get into music. (Speaking of police states, you really should see "Z".) Rose and My Friends Here are a couple of new bands for your ears. "My Friends" is three of the most talented musicians mu-sicians in the city. All are local people, but have been waiting for the right people to come around they've just been hanging out individually in-dividually until discovering each other a few months ago. Their stuff is mostly blues-oriented, but not too heavy, just very artistic. Part of "Rose" has migrated to Zion from Arizona. I haven't heard them yet, but I'm told they are five-piece, into hard rock. The third attraction happens to be a "reverse" light show (lights are projected from behind the screen) a new first for the Ball Room. The Old Mill Purple Haze is back in town, more specifically, at the Mill this weekend. The group is back from a short Midwest tour of college concerts. They're kind of bar-oriented, but very tight and versatile. Record in Review "Sentimental Journey" Ringo |
