THE OUTFIELD: 1985 - 1992: The Major Label Albums w/Eric Hansen
THE OUTFIELD: 1985 - 1992: The Major Label Albums w/Eric Hansen I hope you enjoy it!
The Outfield is a British rock band formed in 1984, best known for their hit singles "Your Love" and "All the Love in the World."
Formation: The band was founded by Tony Lewis, a Welsh singer, and John Spinks, an English guitarist. They were later joined by Alan Jackman on drums.
Early Success: Their debut album, "Play Deep" (1985), became a major success, largely due to the single "Your Love," which reached No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States. This song, with its iconic baseball-themed video, helped define the band's image.
Subsequent Albums: Following the success of their debut, they released several more albums including "Bangin'" (1987), "Voices of Babylon" (1989), and "Diamond Days" (1990). However, none of these albums achieved the commercial success of "Play Deep."
Style: The Outfield's music is characterized by its catchy melodies, strong pop-rock influences, and Lewis's distinctive voice. Their songs often feature sports metaphors and imagery, reflecting Tony Lewis's passion for baseball.
Later Years: The band experienced various lineup changes over the years with Tony Lewis being the consistent member. They continued to tour and record sporadically, though with less commercial impact.
Legacy: While their fame peaked in the late 1980s, The Outfield remains a favorite on classic rock radio and at live venues, especially with fans who appreciate their place in pop-rock history. Their music continues to be featured in various media, including movies and commercials, keeping their legacy alive.
The Outfield's blend of rock with pop sensibilities and their memorable hits have secured them a niche in the annals of 80s rock music.

    Thanks Grant. You probably don’t remember but I first asked you for this in about February of last year. You did reply straight away and it took you a while to get to it but you eventually kept your word. I wouldn’t have asked if I didn’t think they were so great. Because I know how much good music there is out there. The rest of their discography is good too. 1. Play Deep 2. Rockeye 3. Voices Of Babylon 4. Bangin’ 5. Diamond Days

      @wolf1977 9 годин тому

      I think Face Dancers' About Face is a better album...Artful Dodger's first two are VERY solid while the last two aren't quite as good - but still 3 or 4 good tracks on each...Zon has I'm Worried About The Boys from 1980 - not as good as this one but not bad...That live Farner solo album Rock 'n Roll Soul: Live, August 20, 1989 is really good

    In 1990 Alan Jackman was fighting Cancer and beat it. Great Drummer! There are other albums worth talking about. Any Time Now is awesome but hard to find and spendy, worth getting it. Playing the Field is a compilation album, and Best of The Outfield is another compilation with a couple of new tracks.

    Don't blame CHER for Gregg Allman's shortcomings. She has always been an awesome human being. According to Wikipedia, her awesomeness started in grade school, when she did a production of the musical Oklahoma for her classmates and teacher. She's also never had any issues with drugs, alcohol, or arrogant social attitudes. I'm sure she only wanted to help Gregg with the help that he obviously needed. She may well have been the link that got him through his own demise. Sorry, but the way you all scoffed at her really rubbed me the wrong way. By the way, she wanted to go in the hard rock direction in the early 70's, but Sonny didn't want to. Just sayin'... she was/is super-cool and a genuinely good person too.

    Damn YT bots...Just added a bunch of Faces music to my library, after the archival Faces At The BBC: Complete BBC Concert & Session Recordings (1970-1973) was just released. Makes it even more painful though to look at Rod's career post 1975. Man his early stuff was good! Starz had their time in the sun - the s/t frim '76 is probably their best along with 1978's Attention Shoppers...Artful Dodger is one of those bands I checked out briefly once & dismissed - this track sounds pretty good/may have to give 'em another try...Steve Miller was HUGE for me/my friends in the mid 70's (before we knew anything about the original blues band). This album & especially Book Of Dreams are personal 70's highlights... Farner has a surprisingly good solo discography (but not really this album IMO): Monumental Funk, s/t, Rock 'n Roll Soul: Live, August 20, 1989...St Paradise - Derek St Holmes - oh yeah! Anything with him on it is at least good. This is a great album...I like that Thorpe track a lot (and back in '79 it got A LOT of airplay in my area) but besides this he really didn't do much else (there was "Theme From Million Dollar Bill")...LA Woman is an all time classic...If I Could Only Remember is a wonderful record, his first solo album. Not a big hit with critics but sold pretty well. With the help of Nash, Jerry Garcia, Neil Young, Jorma, Gregg Rolie, Phil Lesh/Kreutzman/Hart, Jack Casady, Michael Shrieve, Joni Mitchell, David Freiberg/Paul Kantner/Grace Slick. Was there anyone from Topanga Canyon who didn't play on this? "Cortez" is one of my all time fave Young tunes. Great to jam on too. He just released the new Archives Vol. 3 (1976-1987)

    One of the best Perry-era Journey tracks...Don't Look Back is a really solid followup album, if it weren't for the IMMENSE status of their debut as one of the best ever I think it'd be more highly regarded (the 'Peter Frampton syndrome')...How good is Paul solo? Great one - that One Hand Clapping set is aboslutely fantastic. A Beatles/McCartney fan must own...TDN was a 'hit factory' for about 4 years in the early 70's - a band that shined really bright for a little while (kinda like CCR), picked up chronologically where they left off...About Face is a pretty good record, This World is just OK ("Forever Beach" is a good tune) - "Change" is kinda manic though... This is honestly the only track I really like from Secret Treaties - I prefer BOC's later stuff...Peter Banks' Flash is good music. I think he's a really overlooked ex-member of Yes. Maybe because many Yes fans consider pre-Howe Yes to not be 'real' Yes (I love the first two albums). And also with pre-Yes bands The Syn/Chris Squire & Mabel Greer's Toyshop. The s/t 1972 album is a good one, also In the Can, Out Of Our Hands, In Public, Psychosync & Flash (Feat. Ray Bennett And Colin Carter)...

      Not as 'experimental' sonically as some other Canterbury bands (which I like) - they keep things more grounded in melody. Latimer is a really fine player - even though they don't sound alike I always mentally pair him with David Gilmour in terms of the choices both make when choosing what to play (and what not to play)
