ATHENS OF THE NORTH keeps the gems coming, and their 81st release is a DIY urban-elegant mellow soul cover of "St. Elmo Fire" — the great tune from AOR king Michael Franks' definitive 1976 masterpiece "The Art Of Tea" — by CHUCK BRIMLEY, an obscure minor artist from Milwaukee, USA!!! And the instrumental on the B-side is heartfelt and utterly moving as well.
Track List
>> 16bit/44.1khz [wav/flac/aiff/alac/mp3]
Honestly not the most skilled singing — a rather unsteady voice — but the guitar, the trumpet solo and all the rest make for a performance full of heart that really gets to you: a hidden 7-inch treasure and a fine piece of work only ATHENS OF THE NORTH could deliver. A great reissue of the only 7-inch single he ever left behind, from 1981. Highly recommended. Back in stock!!! (Original Japanese text by COMPUMA)
