Thunderclap Newman

John “Speedy” Keene was a vintage crony from the Who all, and wrote “Armenia Town in the Sky,” which made an appearance over the Who all Sell off Out LP. The improbable Andy Newman performed wonderful pub-style piano and appeared much such as a postal clerk, which actually, he was. Jimmy McCulloch, the guitarist, appeared to be always a simple teenager, therefore he was. It had been this combination, in addition to the creation initiatives of Pete Townshend, that led to the record Hollywood Dream. Because the now-classic one “Something in the Surroundings” had longer preceded it, the record delivered the products in an identical style, fueled by Keene’s reedy vocals and Newman’s captivating honky tonk piano. Hollywood Wish has continued to be an Anglophile fave; unfortunately, it was to become Thunderclap Newman’s just album. Even though you own the initial vinyl LP, make sure to browse the extended edition on compact disk, filled with six bonus monitors.
