Tramp album(s)
Hi everybody,
I think it's interesting for most of you: A translation of an album review by Wolfgang Giese TRAMP – Same (1969) I don’t think there are many visitors here in our forum who own this very rare record. The line-up of TRAMP was: Jo-Ann Kelly, vocals Dave Kelly, vocals Bob Hall, piano Mick Fleetwood , drums Bob Brunning, bass Danny Kirwan, guitar They recorded an album in many different styles of blues: Barrelhouse, Chicago Blues, elements of folk, jazz, and rock. It was reported, it has been a project of Bob Brunning mainly, who involved two musicians of his old band Fleetwood Mac in it. He tried to present just the special qualities of all the players, who were present in the studio. I think that’s the reason why it became a very interesting part of music. Brunning called it a „meeting of musical ‚tramps’.“ THE TRACK LIST: OWN UP SAME OLD THING WHAT YOU GONNA DO SOMEBODY WATCHING ME TOO LATE NOW BABY WHAT YOU WANT ME TO DO STREET WALKING BLUES ON THE SCENE MONTH OF SUNDAYS HARD WORK ANOTHER DAY The best way to listen to this album for the first time would be to start with: SAME OLD THING (a relaxed Shuffle, dominated by Bob Hall) SOMEBODY WATCHING ME (a rocking Boogie including a nice Kirwan solo on guitar) STREET WALKING BLUES (a wonderful slow blues) MONTH OF SUNDAYS (has a swinging jazz feeling) HARD WORK (a great instrumental and Danny Kirwan in best form!) The record was never listed as a milestone in history of blues, but it is representing the great creativity of the blues scene in England until the end of the 1960s extremely well. And indeed – it’s a hard to find rarity for many years now. You should look for it. By the way: TRAMP produced a second album called PUT A RECORD ON. The line-up: Bob Brunning (Bass) Mick Fleetwood (Drums) Danny Kirwan (Guitar) Dave Brooks (Sax) Bob Hall (Piano) Dave Kelly (Vocal On "Too Late For That Now" / "Now I Ain't A Junkie Anymore" / "Like You Used To Do" / "Funky Money" / And "Paternity Orders") Jo-Ann Kelly (Vocals On "Too Late For That Now" / "What You Gonna Do" / "You've Gotta Move" / "Put A Record On" / "Beggar By Your Side" And "It's Over") Ian Morton (Percussion). TRACK LIST: TOO LATE FOR THAT NOW NOW I AIN'T A JUNKIE ANYMORE WHAT YOU GONNA DO LIKE YOU USED TO DO YOU'VE GOTTA MOVE PUT A RECORD ON FUNKY MONKEY BEGGAR BY YOUR SIDE MATERNITY ORDERS (KEEP ON ROLLING IN) IT'S OVER Regards and best wishes Manfred |

I think these albums are definitely worth looking out for - I've got 'Put A Record On' and also a few tracks from the first album on a compilation CD. It's all pretty decent stuff. The original LPs are expensive but the Appaloosa label in Italy put them out on CD and they're (usually) reasonably priced on eBay etc. Danny's guitar on the first album is particularly good

I'll have to dig these out and play them again...I haven't listened to them in YEARS (closer to "decades"). Since I rarely play LPs anymore, a lot of music I used to listen to quite a bit goes unlistened to now.
