The guests Rudy Rotta had for "Some Of My Favorite Songs For ..." in various studios in America and Italy are in fact 'Special Guests': John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers (without Buddy Whitington and Tom Canning ), Brian Auger & The Oblivion Express , Peter Green and Robben Ford.
As the tracklist shows, this is a flawless cover album of well-known (I hope so) songs. Only the bouncer "29 Settembre" by the singer / songwriter Lucio Battisti could be familiar to a less large public. I also belong to the group.
I'm sticking to this song. More pop, accordion-heavy and with nice backing vocals, sung in Italian. I can't write more about it, the reviewer is on the line for once, but there are at least 13 other songs that I can talk about.
In the music scene, covers are sometimes covered for the devil. The quality of such songs has to be measured by the question of what 'you' make of them.
I have at least one hook about "29 Settembre". Fausto Beccalossi on the accordion has other assignments. Once on "Who'll Stop The Rain", in a duo with Fausto , Rotta landed a major hit while singing to the acoustic guitar. Many adaptations of the CCR hit have already wandered through my player, this will get stuck in it more often in the future, because it is unique in the truest sense of the word.
Fausto Beccalossi for the 3rd time, when he intones "Can't Find My Way Home" from the good old Blind Faith times together with Sbibu (cajon) and of course Rotta . The attraction of this edition lies in the interpretation with the percussion instrument cajon, a wooden box used as a drum. Rotta doesn't even try to get close to Winwood's high voice. He sings it in his inimitable way and once again proves to be a master on the acoustic guitar. And also "Knockin 'On Heaven's Door" gets a slight Latin flair through the accordion.
Robben Ford comes from the great Ford blues family ( The Ford Blues Band ) . Sole guitarist on "It's All Over Baby Blue", he and Rotta show on the microphone which new sides can be found in a song that is endlessly drunk. Robben Ford's guitar exudes an incredible warmth. Considerate use of drums and bass keep the rhythm on a low flame.
The traditional "St. James Infirmary" was arranged by Rudy Rotta and has some wonderful Robben Ford typical blues licks. Rotta leaves the guitar to Robben Ford again . But not quite, because at the end the two of them meet on the guitar. Carmine Bloisi uses some percussion elements around the drums.
Rock 'n' roll with piano is hip in the medley ("Whole Lotta Shakin '/ Kansas City Blues"). The whole thing goes through in one go.
When it comes to the really bluesy things, John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers come on the scene.
It's about the relaxed, easily played "My Babe" and "You Don't Love Me". As the booklet says: John Mayall -armonica & tastiere (no mistake!). Hank Van Sickle (bass) and Joe Yuele also play their way through the timelessly good bluesers in the usual high quality.
Rudy Rotta gives "To Love Somebody" a really groovy component, sometimes without 'special guests'. Sorry, I can't and won't go back to the original.
The Rotta story is good and lives from the balanced singing with Mia Cooper (does Aida Cooper have a sister?) And Giorgio Ammirabile (cori).
Brian Auger & The Oblivion Express practically cover themselves when it comes to the track "Truth". Of course the song is heavily Hammond-heavy and Auger's well-known style is undeniable. Other express articles: none.
Well, what is left? "Black Magic Woman" with the man himself on the guitar and of course also on the microphone, whereby both of them split the vocal part verse by verse. Musically there is no complaint. Peter Green 'next to' Rudy Rotta: When it comes to that, Rotta is out as soon as Green even sings the first notes. It has to be formulated so clearly, Green's voice still exudes such a fascination that I won't allow anything else here. Point!
What was the question at the beginning: What do you do with well-known material?
In the case of "Some Of My Favorite Songs For ..." the answer is not difficult for me.
In footballing terms, the striker Rudy Rotta transformed the templates and scored one goal after the other. Won the game and took three points. How many three points are converted into RockTimes watches, I leave to others.
