John Macey – More Notes For Your Money (1987)

leave a comment »

I uploaded John’s first album a while back and was contacted by a former student of his and also a family member.  One of them shared John’s followup album from 1987.  This is good stuff.  Here are the covers and the link to download.

John Macey – Eclipse (1981)

with 7 comments

As I mentioned in a previous blog, I had this album given to me when I was about 15 (1985) or so.  I listened to it quite often back then and always enjoyed the quirky, funky instrumentals on here.  A friend of mine recently converted my vinyl to digital format and I am putting it up on here for your listening pleasure.

This album came out in 1981 and sounds very mid-70s.  Macey is a very competent player as are all of the members in the band.  It was released on 51 West Records which was a sub of CBS.  There’s some good funky, jazz/fusion, 70s shred in parts of this that some of it sounds like it should be background music in a 70s car chase movie.  Until today, I don’t think I have listened to this album in about 20 years and it still sounds great to my ears.

Enjoy it.
