    Marriott's lost treasure!
  

*by S***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 May 2017*

This was 1960s mod hero Steve Marriott’s first officially released solo album, recorded and released in 1975-76 after the demise of his second band Humble PieSo what’s it like? Well, by 1975 Steve had gone from the classic ‘60s British r'n'b sound through to psychedelia and heavy rock, thrown in a touch of blues, soul and country and (ears always tilting towards the sounds of black America) had even dabbled in a touch of raunchy JB-style funk. And, despite still being in his 20s, that brilliant, at times raw, white soul voice had broadened and maturedRather like Paul Weller’s first solo album back in the early 1990s, this LP seems to be a summation of Steve's early career influences in one package The original vinyl LP was divided into two halves with the mostly rockier ‘British side’ recorded with Greg Ridley, Ian Wallace and Mickey Finn and a funkier, groovier and more soulful ‘American side’ featuring a cast of expensive West Coast session musicians who brought along assorted keys, strings, horns and percussion. Note that both sides feature vocal backing from Steve's beloved Blackberries (his ‘Black chicks’)In actual fact, the LP is pretty diverse, and it's probably easier to describe each track individually:The five tracks on ‘the British Side’ are generally rockier:EAST SIDE STRUTTIN’ a chugging riff-heavy, bluesy rocker sets the sceneLOOKIN’ FOR LOVE – a slice of mid ‘70s British-style rock with a riff - to my ears at least - not that far removed from ‘Holidays In The Sun’ by the Sex Pistols !HELP ME MAKE IT THROUGH THE DAY – moody, mid-tempo ballad with flashes of Hammond organ and Fender keyboards and Steve letting rip with his deep soul vocals. Reminiscent of a typical Bobby Womack songMIDNIGHT ROLLIN’ – a mighty, bluesy stop-start guitar riff, with enough power to blow the Stones and AC/DC off stageWAM BAM THANKYOU MA’AM – a stripped-down, more straightforward reinterpretation of one of the final songs Steve recorded with the Small Faces. It is good but, to my mind, the SF version with Ian McLagan’s growling Hammond is betterThe 'tighter-but-looser' American Side reminds me a lot of Chaka Khan's band Rufus who were around LA at the time. It kicks off with a stab at commercial success:STAR IN MY LIFE was released as a single in the US (and also used in the soundtrack to the Bill Cosby movie, Mother, Jugs and Speed). Basically, a mid-tempo country-soul ballad with the addition of pedal steel guitar on the verse, a huge gospel chorus and a Stevie Wonder-style middle eight. No, I wasn’t sure about this at first, but trust me it works – that chorus will get you in the end! It’s a great song to boot and you can easily see why it was chosen as a single – and all the more surprising that it wasn’t a huge US hitARE YOU LONELY FOR ME BABY – A nice punchy, jabbing, funky little number with catchy horn vamps and a great Marriott-Blackberries chorusYOU DON’T KNOW ME – A deeply soulful Mister Ray Charles-style balladLATE NIGHT LADY – Another electrifying funk groove. More classic Marriott-Blackberries call and response on the chorusEARLY EVENING LIGHT – probably my favourite song on the LP. A fantastic slice of driving, funky Memphis soul with a brilliant string and horn arrangement laid down by the LA Philharmonic OrchestraThat this album was not a success with either the critics or the public at the time is a mystery to me. It's often said that Steve was unhappy with A&M who insisted on muscling in on the production and that he preferred versions of the songs he'd recorded without their assistance earlier in 1975. In any case Steve - being Steve - failed to promote it and threw his energy into the forthcoming Small Faces reunion instead. Personally, I think that's a real shame - the reunion didn't work out and, to me, this is a piece of lost treasure, ably demonstrating Steve's full range of talents and influences. There were two later Humble Pie reunion albums (On To Victory and Go For The Throat) that continued this sound but this is great as a stand alone Marriott albumDefinitely a 'five' and definitely worthy of your attention....!
