I agree ChiliD that MISJ is the most instantly likable album of DK's solo offerings and I LOVE to give any FM fan the chance to hear any FM (or related stuff I have) from the "less familiar" lineups!
I just thought as Christy was just starting out on DK solo stuff, I figured I'd give an overview of each album. The thing I forgot about was that since Danny's solo albums are so short on running time (and it was one side of a 110 minute tape, I ended up taping more than half of HTBB & MISJ and just about half of SC as well on that one side alone!
I always wondered if the title track of MISJ is one of the ones (that Clifford Davis alledges (sp?)) was not finished by Danny. Maybe I heard wrong but I thought I understood that Danny may not even be on that track (if what CD says is true that he ended up putting on the acoustic guitar parts in the end, chose the songs for inclusion, etc.) or what? I may be thinking of what (suppossedly) went on with "Hello there big boy" though. I just wondered as they must have known that if someone was going to hear a DK instrumental, then they would expect to hear Danny's one of a kind guitar playing through it (such as on "Rolling hills") but I'm speculating that maybe they couldn't get his guitar part down for the MISJ title track before his "illness" took over and they knew there would be no way they could replicate Danny's electric guitar work themselves so they tried to "hide" it with that annoying moog part in the track and the acoustic guitar could be DK but might be Clifford (if what he said was true and this one was one of the tracks he was referring to) as I assume he figured he could "get away with" people thinking the acoustic guitar parts he laid down for the track were Danny? Just a thought, I always wondered about it anyways as it seemed like one of the most "possible offenders". The MISJ title track is still great anyways!
How about the "possibly hidden" DK vocals on the first two lines of the second verse of "Gettin' the feelin'" from HTBB (this was the one I thought of when thinking that HTBB may be more "guilty" in this sense), any ideas? Don't get me wrong, I still LOVE these albums (and these songs I mentioned) and Davis is probably not truthful when he makes such claims but it just came to mind is all when discussing this.
Anyways, hey, great Kiln House sequel list ChiliD! I'll have to put that one together on tape and check it out.
I sure hope Danny can make the comeback someday too.
