Love | ||
| Allmusic Biography : One of the best West Coast folk-rock/psychedelic bands, Love may have also been the first widely acclaimed cult/underground group. During their brief heyday -- lasting all of three albums -- they drew from Byrds-ish folk-rock, Stones-ish hard rock, blues, jazz, flamenco, and even light orchestral pop to create a heady stew of their own. They were also one of the first integrated rock groups, led by genius singer/songwriter Arthur Lee, one of the most idiosyncratic and enigmatic talents of the 60s. Stars in their native Los Angeles and an early inspiration to the Doors, they perversely refused to tour until well past their peak. This ensured their failure to land a hit single or album, though in truth the bands vision may have been too elusive to attract mass success anyway. Love was formed by Lee in the mid-60s in Los Angeles. Although only 20 at the time, Lee had already scuffled around the fringes of the rock and soul business for a couple of years. In addition to recording some flop singles with his own bands, he wrote and produced a single for Rosa Lee Brooks that Jimi Hendrix played on as session guitarist. Originally calling his outfit the Grass Roots, Lee changed the name to Love after another Los Angeles group called the Grass Roots began recording for Dunhill. Loves repertoire would be largely penned by Lee, with a few contributions by guitarist Bryan MacLean. Inspired by British Invasion bands and local peers the Byrds, Love built up a strong following in hip L.A. clubs. Soon they were signed by Elektra, the noted folk label that was just starting to get its feet wet in rock (it had recorded material by early versions of the Byrds and the Lovin Spoonful, and had just released the first LP by Paul Butterfield). Their self-titled debut album (1966) introduced their marriage of the Byrds and the Stones on a set of mostly original material and contained a small hit, their punk-ish adaptation of Bacharach/Davids "My Little Red Book." Love briefly expanded to a seven-piece for their second album, Da Capo (1967), which included their only Top 40 hit, the corkscrew-tempoed "Seven & Seven Is." The first side was psychedelia at its best, with an eclectic palette encompassing furious jazz structures, gentle Spanish guitar interludes, and beautiful Baroque pop with dream-like images ("She Comes in Colors"). It was also psychedelia at its most reckless, with the whole of side two taken up by a meandering 19-minute jam. It was still a great step forward, but by mid-1967, the band was threatening to disintegrate due to drugs and general disorganization. The group was in such sad shape, apparently, that Elektra planned to record their third album with sessionmen backing Lee (on his compositions) or MacLean (on his compositions). Work on two tracks actually commenced in this fashion, but the shocked band pulled themselves together to play their own material again, resulting in one of the finest rock albums of all time, Forever Changes. An exceptionally strong set of material graced by captivating lyrics and glistening, unobtrusive horn and string arrangements, it was not a commercial hit in the U.S. (though it did pretty well in Britain) but remains an all-time favorite of many critics. Just at the point where they seemed poised to assert themselves as a top band, Loves first and best lineup was broken up in early 1968, at Lees instigation. Several albums followed in the late 60s and early 70s that, though credited to Love, are in reality Lee and backup musicians -- none of whom had skills on the level of Bryan MacLean or the other original Love men. Lee largely forsook folk-rock for hard rock, with unimpressive results, even when he was able to get Jimi Hendrix to play on one track. The problems ran deeper than unsympathetic accompaniment: Lees songwriting muse had largely deserted him as well, and nothing on the post-Forever Changes albums competes with the early Elektra records. Lee released a solo album in the early 70s, and then put another Love together for one last effort in 1974, but basically Love/Lee (the two had in effect become synonymous) ground to a halt in the mid-70s. Lee sporadically recorded and performed in the years following without coming up with anything resembling a unified full-length studio statement, though some scattered live and studio recordings appeared, including a 1994 single on the tiny Distortions label. In 1995, Rhino Records released the compilation Love Story 1966-1972 around which time the label also bailed Lee out of jail after he was arrested for trying to set his ex-girlfriends apartment on fire. Lees troubles continued the following year after he was again arrested after shooting a gun in the air during an argument with a neighbor. He was subsequently convicted for illegal possession of a firearm, and due to a prior drug offense in the 80s, was sentenced to eight to 12 years in prison under Californias three strikes law. In 2000, Rhino issued an expanded version of Loves classic Forever Changes and helped reignite interest in Lee. In 2001, a California federal appeals court found the prosecutor at Lees trial guilty of misconduct and reversed the charges against Lee who was then freed. Buoyed by renewed fan support, Lee toured with a new Love lineup playing Forever Changes in full and even received a Living Legend Award at the 2004 NME Awards. In 2006, Lee was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia and underwent three bouts of chemotherapy as well as a bone marrow transplant before his condition worsened. He passed away on August 3, 2006, at Memphis, Tennessees Methodist University Hospital. | ||

| Love : Allmusic album Review : Loves debut is both their hardest-rocking early album and their most Byrds-influenced. Arthur Lees songwriting muse hadnt fully developed at this stage, and in comparison with their second and third efforts, this is the least striking of the LPs featuring their classic lineup, with some similar-sounding folk-rock compositions and stock riffs. A few of the tracks are great, though: their punky rendition of Bacharach/Davids "My Little Red Book" was a minor hit, "Signed D.C." and "Mushroom Clouds" were superbly moody ballads, and Bryan Macleans "Softly to Me" served notice that Lee wasnt the only songwriter of note in the band. | ||

| Da Capo : Allmusic album Review : Love broadened their scope into psychedelia on their sophomore effort, Arthur Lees achingly melodic songwriting gifts reaching full flower. The six songs that comprised the first side of this album when it was first issued are a truly classic body of work, highlighted by the atomic blast of pre-punk rock "Seven & Seven Is" (their only hit single), the manic jazz tempos of "Stephanie Knows Who," and the enchanting "She Comes in Colors," perhaps Lees best composition (and reportedly the inspiration for the Rolling Stones "Shes a Rainbow"). Its only half a great album, though; the seventh and final track, "Revelation," is a tedious 19-minute jam that keeps Da Capo from attaining truly classic status. | ||

| Forever Changes : Allmusic album Review : Loves Forever Changes made only a minor dent on the charts when it was first released in 1967, but years later it became recognized as one of the finest and most haunting albums to come out of the Summer of Love, which doubtless has as much to do with the discs themes and tone as the music, beautiful as it is. Sharp electric guitars dominated most of Loves first two albums, and they make occasional appearances here on tunes like "A House Is Not a Motel" and "Live and Let Live," but most of Forever Changes is built around interwoven acoustic guitar textures and subtle orchestrations, with strings and horns both reinforcing and punctuating the melodies. The punky edge of Loves early work gave way to a more gentle, contemplative, and organic sound on Forever Changes, but while Arthur Lee and Bryan MacLean wrote some of their most enduring songs for the album, the lovely melodies and inspired arrangements cant disguise an air of malaise that permeates the sessions. A certain amount of this reflects the angst of a group undergoing some severe internal strife, but Forever Changes is also an album that heralds the last days of a golden age and anticipates the growing ugliness that would dominate the counterculture in 1968 and 1969; images of violence and war haunt "A House Is Not a Motel," the street scenes of "Maybe the People Would Be the Times or Between Clark and Hillsdale" reflects a jaded mindset that flower power could not ease, the twin specters of race and international strife rise to the surface of "The Red Telephone," romance becomes cynicism in "Bummer in the Summer," the promise of the psychedelic experience decays into hard drug abuse in "Live and Let Live," and even gentle numbers like "Andmoreagain" and "Old Man" sound elegiac, as if the ghosts of Chicago and Altamont were visible over the horizon as Love looked back to brief moments of warmth. Forever Changes is inarguably Loves masterpiece and an album of enduring beauty, but its also one of the few major works of its era that saw the dark clouds looming on the cultural horizon, and the result was music that was as prescient as it was compelling. | ||

| Out Here : Allmusic album Review : This set marked several firsts for Love. Not only was Out Here (1969) their initial foray away from the Elektra imprint, it would be their only double-LP package. After the relative failure of Forever Changes (1968), co-founder Arthur Lee (vocals/rhythm guitar) disbanded the unit and then re-formed with Frank Fayad (bass), George Suranovich (drums), Jay Donnellan (lead guitar), and Gary Rowles (lead guitar). Granted, its certainly not the greatest work in their catalog. However, Out Here is proof that Lees faculties for quirky and personable pop and rock compositions had yet to elude him. The results -- unquestionably a mixed bag -- present listeners with evidence of the combos increasingly heavier approach, as well as a few selections that hearken back to the lighter whimsy of the earlier ensemble. The latter circumstance is clearly demonstrated, ranging from the acoustic introspection of "Listen to My Song," to the full-blown group jam on the 11-plus minute "Love Is More Than Words or Better Late Than Never" featuring Rowles inspired electric fretwork. The update of "Signed D.C." -- the original having been a key component of Loves 1966 self-titled debut -- is given a weightier blues-fueled edge that remains drenched in the emotive angst of its precursor. The bands subsequent (and final) outing False Start (1970) continued mining the same heavy metal vein tapped on "Im Down" and the suitably wordless "Instra-Mental"." While not exactly throwaways, "Abalony," "Discharged," and the droll funeral procession ode "Car Lights on in the Daytime Blues" are more filler than killer. Still, all in all, Arthur Lee enthusiasts can discover plenty of music to Love on Out Here. In 2007, Hip-O Selects Blue Thumb Recordings anthology provided freshly remastered editions of both Out Here, False Start, and the nearly hour-long Live in England 1970boasting 11 previously unreleased concert performances. | ||

| Four Sail : Allmusic album Review : From a retrospective point of view, this might be the first album in the career of singer and songwriter Arthur Lee that might have been received with more enthusiasm had it been released under his name, and not under the band name. Obviously, it must have been in his commercial best interests to retain the Love identity, but here Lee is the only member of the original band left. He is trying to recreate a Love-able identity with fewer players than he had before and a completely different sound. The old Love delivered material in a solidly folk-rock vein, meaning among other things an emphasis on combinations of acoustic and electric guitars. When the original group wanted something a little heavier, it would really put the hammer down. Records such as "My Little Red Book" and "Seven & Seven Is" were tough enough to be rightly considered precursors of punk rock, which is a lot of mileage to get out of a Burt Bacharach tune. Lees new lineup here does not have this kind of versatility. Guitarist Jay Donnellan plays a heavy lead guitar minus the impressive chops and gets lots of solo space in the arrangements. The rhythm section favors a more leaden sound as well, particularly drummer George Suranovich, who soaks the barbecue with Keith Moon and Mitch Mitchell licks. Lee fills in on several different instruments, but his real strength is the set of ten original songs he has provided. The tracks are deep in feeling and performed with an emotional fervor that sometimes approaches anguish. It is like going into a dark coffeehouse late at night and finding an electrically charged performer delivering messages about things familiar to one and all: love, memories, friendship, "Good Times," and even "Nothing." Lees lyrics and performances have been compared to Jimi Hendrix, certainly a compliment. This album is such a good example of these strengths that it rises above the garage band sound to communicate a sense of time and place as well as some truly sincere feelings. | ||

| False Start : Allmusic album Review : Arthur Lee chose to keep the Love moniker alive after disintegrating the bands original incarnation. By the close of the 1960s, Lee was joined by a new lineup featuring a rhythm section of Frank Fayad (bass) and George Suranovich (drums), with Jay Donnellan (lead guitar) and then Gary Rowles (lead guitar) holding court as the bands primary stringman with the latter present on False Start. While the Lee-supplied material isnt his most memorable, one positive factor is the combos consistency and cohesiveness. This can be traced back to Love having just completed a successful European tour and being able to collaborate with his longtime pal Jimi Hendrix, who not only helped Lee write the LPs jammed-out opener "The Everlasting First," but also stuck around long enough to lend his unmistakable southpaw to the recording. The track starts abruptly -- as if someone inadvertently jostled a power cord loose -- joining the action in-progress. Ostensibly, Hendrixs instrumental interaction is the impetus behind the number, but it is Lees sorely underappreciated lyrical abilities that turn it into a bluesy love ballad. The catchy "Flying" typifies the early-70s boogie that Jo Jo Gunne was able cash in on. Otherwise, it is pretty much fluff. Considerably more interesting is the heavier poppy (think the Raspberries) sound of "Gimi a Little Break" with engaging chord progressions that conjure up Lees work on "August" from their previous outing Four Sail. The concert extract "Stand Out" -- a prime example of Loves aforementioned on-stage unity -- does just that as the spirited side was derived from the then-recent round of live dates that preceded False Starts creation. Its packed with a compact, hard-edged energy that could be mistaken for Grand Funk or even a mellowed-out MC5. Proving his uncanny ability to jump from genre to genre, Lee heads down-home for the countrified "Keep on Shining" with a chipper disposition somewhat undermined by Lees ragged vocals. Like "Stand Out," the soulful "Anytime" is another reason for this project not to be dismissed. The quaint narrative "Slick Dick" is as anachronistic as the actual concept of hippies. Similarly, it substantiates how seriously the "counterculture" took themselves at the time. To a certain extent the same can be said of the compact "Love Is Coming" with hints of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young harmonies behind a sassy, upbeat melody. Rounding out the disc are the seductive rocker "Feel Daddy Feel Good," and the syncopated "Ride That Vibration" -- bringing to mind "You Set the Scene" from Forever Changes (1968). Perhaps this is a fitting nod back to Arthur Lees undiminished skills as a composer, since it was the final song prior to the breakup of the band literally weeks after False Start was issued. | ||

| Reel to Real : Allmusic album Review : Arthur Lee had every reason to feel disenchanted with his career in 1974, as his harder rock moves on 1970s False Start and his 1972 solo debut Vindicator didnt please critics or fans and his deal with the fledgling Buffalo Records label left him with an unreleased album, Black Beauty, when the company abruptly crashed and burned. Lee had started dipping his toes into material with a stronger R&B; edge on Black Beauty, and when RSO Records gave him another chance at a major-label deal, he dove in headfirst: in a Rolling Stone interview, Lee said Reel to Real was his effort to get "as black and funky as I can, man, on my music." If folks hoping for another Da Capo or Forever Changes werent pleased with False Start or Vindicator, they were simply confused by Reel to Reals funk grooves and banks of horns and keyboards (not to mention a lineup that featured no previous members of Love but Lee). However, while the album has often been written off as a failure, Reel to Real is an album with more than its share of great moments, even if its inarguably uneven. Lees vocals are tough but eloquent on these tunes, and though the music is often rooted in deep funk (especially on the percolating "Who Are You" and "With a Little Energy"), blues ("Which Witch is Which"), and vintage R&B; ("Stop the Music"), the fierce guitar work from Lee, Melvan Whittington, and John Sterling makes it clear Lee hadnt cut his ties to rock & roll. Psychedelia doesnt really play a part in this music, but the introspective twists of Lees lyrics confirm he still had plenty to say about the world around him and the universe inside his mind. And the closing acoustic version of "Everybodys Gotta Live" (which first appeared on Vindicator) offered a brief glimpse of the sly, thoughtful hippie who had recorded Forever Changes just seven years earlier. Reel to Real plays more like an Arthur Lee solo effort than a Love album (and was blighted with a singularly ugly cover), but its a good Arthur Lee album, with a tighter focus and a more thoughtful perspective than Vindicator, proving Lee still had a great deal to say even if his audience didnt care to listen. | ||

| Out There : Allmusic album Review : While certainly not a suitable substitution for Hip-O Selects extraordinary triple-disc Blue Thumb Recordings (2007) box set, this compile is perfect for anyone with a passing curiosity about the post-Elektra recordings by Arthur Lees Love. The contents are culled from highlights off of the double-LP Out Here (1969) and follow-up False Start (1970) -- the last projects to feature the second lineup with mainstay Lee (rhythm guitar/lead vocals/piano) backed by Frank Fayad (bass) and George Suranovich (drums) with Jay Donnellan (lead guitar), followed by Gary Rowles (lead guitar). There are several numbers with the combo laying down a heavy "mod" blues and boogie. Namely, the False Start tracks "Stand Out" and "The Everlasting First." The former being a one-off live cut and the latter centering on the presence and contributions of Jimi Hendrix (guitar). The compact and quirky "I Still Wonder," "Nice to Be," and "You Are Something" are evocations of Lees singular songwriting skills and hearken back to Loves formative sound. On the subject, the reworking of "Signed D.C." -- a tune originally on the bands 1966 self-titled debut -- reflects their edgier approach. The comparatively lethargic tempo coupled with Lees impassioned vocals are custom-made for their proto-metal excursion as they give the familiar side a new lease on life. The lovely "Doggone" has tinges of the Youngbloods free and easy West Coast vibe before turning into an incongruous spotlight for Suranovichs ham-fisted eight-minute percussion solo. "Love Is More Than Words (Or Better Late Than Never)" is successful in the "extended acid rock" department. The lively melody is a perfect outlet for Rowles alternately distorted and wah wah drenched fretwork. To a similar end, the bright acoustic "I Still Wonder" reflects the co-authors considerable technical prowess as Donnellan and Lee intertwine in a way reminiscent of the Allman Brothers seminal dual guitar leads. The fidelity is excellent by late-80s standards, however it pales by comparison to the abovementioned Blue Thumb Recordings anthology -- which also boasts nearly an hour of previously unreleased performances documented Live in England 1970 (2007). | ||

| Comes in Colours : Allmusic album Review : Prior to Rhinos comprehensive two-disc anthology Love Story, Ravens single-disc Comes in Colours was far and away the best Love compilation to be released in the CD era. Following Love Story, Comes in Colours is still a noteworthy entry in Loves catalog because it summarizes their peak years on one disc yet still boasts a generous 24 tracks (including one track that is an interview with leader Arthur Lee). Each of the bands major tracks is here, including singles ("My Little Red Book," "Seven & Seven Is," "Alone Again Or") and album tracks ("Stephanie Knows Who," "¡Que Vida!") alike. Dedicated fans will inevitably find personal favorites missing, but its hard to argue with whats here, since its all prime stuff. Overall, Comes in Colours is a wonderful, basic introduction to the glories of Love for neophytes -- who may indeed find this single disc more manageable than the double-disc Love Story -- and its just a good, thoroughly entertaining listen for the already converted. | ||

| The Best of Love : Allmusic album Review : This 16-track collection offers up a decent-sized selection of Love classics like "My Little Red Book," "7 and 7 Is," "Alone Again Or," and "Que Vida," but there are far too many glaring omissions, most of which are from the woefully unrepresented psych-folk-rock classic Forever Changes, to recommend this Best Of over 1995s far richer and more comprehensive Love Story 1966-1972. | ||

| The Blue Thumb Recordings : Allmusic album Review : Loves stay on the Blue Thumb label for a couple of albums in the late 60s and early 70s wouldnt be rated by anyone as the high point in the bands career. Still, for those who want that material, this three-CD set includes both of the albums they released with the company, Out Here and False Start, as well as -- in what will be the big draw for collectors -- nearly an hour of previously unreleased recordings, all taped live in England in 1970. Though the two studio albums have their admirers, many Love fans find them frustrating listening, as they stack up poorly against the superior LPs they cut in the 60s, particularly their first three. Much of leader and principal singer/songwriter Arthur Lees gift for melodic, idiosyncratic folk-rock with touches of flamenco, jazz, punky R&B and show tunes is still in evidence, but the songs simply arent as strong or fully developed. As for his composing skills (though not his singing ones), it almost feels as though youre listening to a recuperating stroke victim -- some of the skillful thoughts and ideas are coming through, but only between cracks and in bits and pieces. Theres also a disturbing bent toward hard rock that doesnt suit Lees strengths (especially on False Start), and while the rest of Love are competent players, they dont push or complement Lee in the same way the original version of the band did in the mid-60s. The live recordings that conclude the set arent bad , and the sound qualitys OK (though not perfect). In this concert segment, Lee and the band sing and play pretty well on songs spanning their entire career to that point, including a few ("My Little Red Book," "Orange Skies," "Andmoreagain," "Signed D.C.," and "Bummer in the Summer") from the earliest and most celebrated phase of their career. Those numbers are performed pretty credibly, albeit with a slight strange lisp on some of Lees vocals. But as a whole the live arrangements are more likely to fly into pedestrian hard rock riffing than the early Love would, though more often than not those tendencies are kept in check. It all adds up to an anthology that will appeal to some hardcore Love fans, but isnt one of the first places to start to appreciate the bands legacy. | ||

| Love Lost : Allmusic album Review : The post-Forever Changes recordings that Love and Arthur Lee did in the late 60s and early 70s will forever be a point of contention among fans. Some contend that he and the group never neared the heights of the LPs by the pre-1968 lineups; others find the post-1967 discs to be high-quality hard rock. The material on Love Lost, a 14-track collection of previously unreleased music the band cut for Columbia in 1971, isnt likely to change many peoples minds on these scores. Even judged on its own merits rather than against the earlier Love catalog, however, its not something fated to be hailed as all that impressive, even if it does fill in an intriguing gap in their recording career. To begin with, it should be noted that while all of these tracks are previously unissued, some of the songs did emerge in different versions on Lees 1972 solo album Vindicator and the 1975 Love long-player Reel to Real, with different versions of yet others appearing on an unreleased (but bootlegged) album done in the early 70s, Black Beauty. Loves brief association with Columbia thus found them using approaches similar to those found on the aforementioned records, more often than not wedding rather routine hard rock to Lees sometimes (but not always) idiosyncratic lyrics and song structures. Yet as even Michael Simmons excellent liner notes acknowledge, the Columbia sessions were on the loose and undisciplined side. These tracks dont find the late Love at their best, and could have used more finely honed songwriting and sharper playing. All that noted, those who do enjoy Love from this era will find much of this to be not all that dissimilar from slightly previous Love albums like False Start and Out Here, though nothing here would have been considered highlights of those LPs. A Jimi Hendrix influence is certainly detectable on some songs, and not just the version of "Ezy Ryder" that concludes the CD. "Midnight Sun" could almost pass as a Hendrix outtake, in fact, and if "Product of the Times" and "Looking Glass" (with its "Machine Gun"-like riff) arent quite as blatant, they arent far behind in that regard. For those who like Lees lighter side, "Everybodys Gotta Live" is far more tilted toward the brooding folk-rock with which he made his initial name, while "Good & Evil" has a most unusual lyric boasting of the singers taste for Japanese, Spanish, and Native American women over white ones. The inclusion of four acoustic demos (only one of which, "Good & Evil," is also included in an electric version) also helps balance this collection, perhaps inadvertently illustrating how Lees songs could often be more satisfying in a relatively folky bare-bones state. | ||

| Black Beauty : Allmusic album Review : In 1973, Arthur Lees career seemed to be drifting without a clear direction; hed broken up his band Love, his first proper solo album Vindicator didnt fare well with critics or record buyers, and hed lost interest in playing live. However, in the spring of that year, Lee decided to take a new approach to his music; while Love had always been a racially integrated group, Lee told drummer Joe Blocker, "I want an all-black band. I want some cats that can play funky and rock." Lee assembled one such band, with Blocker on drums, Melvan Whittington on lead guitar, and Robert Rozelle on bass, and he was excited enough about what they were doing that he soon took them into the studio on his own dime. Lee scored a deal with a fledgling label called Buffalo Records, and he and his band cut an album titled Black Beauty. However, Buffalo went out of business before it could be released to the public. While shoddy sounding bootlegs of the Black Beauty session circulated for years, it wasnt until 2014 that Black Beauty finally received a proper release from the reissue label High Moon. Credited to Love (though no one seems certain that Lee ever meant to release it under the groups name), Black Beauty recalls the hard rock attack of Vindicator, but with a stronger R&B; undertow along with Hendrix-influenced songs and guitar work ("Midnight Sun" sounds like something Jimi could have written, and Whittingtons soloing captures the mood of Hendrixs playing without lifting his licks), along with some moodier numbers like "Skid" and "See Myself in You." While the title might suggest that Lee had race on his mind in 1973, for the most part these songs deal with the personal over the political, even though "Lonely Pigs" concerns the treatment of African-Americans at the hands of the police, and "Young & Able (Good & Evil)" rails against economic inequality while Lee discusses his taste in the opposite sex ("Gotta have a redskin woman! Give me a Japanese! Spanish woman give me all her lovin!"). While the semi-reggae "Beep Beep" and a laid-back cover of the folk standby "Walk Right In" reveal Lees eccentric side was still clearly present, Black Beauty is one of the strongest and most consistent albums of his hard rock period, and if it isnt quite a lost classic, its the missing link between Vindicator and Loves Reel to Real; its nearly as good as the former and genuinely superior to the latter. Remastered from an acetate discovered in the 2010s, the audio on High Moons Black Beauty isnt flawless, but its acceptable and far better than the bootlegs. The release also includes extensive liner notes, including an excellent essay by Ben Edmonds and interviews with several of Lees collaborators; serious Arthur Lee fans will find this worthwhile for the booklet alone. | ||
