ALBERT HAMMOND
London 2015 [no label, 2CD]
Live at Bush Hall, London, UK; June 16, 2015. Very good audience recording.

This one’s really for anyone old enough to remember. There was a time in the early ’70s when songs such as It Never Rains In Southern California, The Free Electric Band, The Peacemaker, Down By The River and I’m A Train were practically camping on the airwaves. Albert Hammond wasn’t only a pop singer of the day, like Paul Anka, he was also a notable songwriter, penning hit songs for other acts - The Air That I Breathe (The Hollies); When I Need You (Leo Sayer); To All The Girls I’ve Loved Before (Julio Iglesias and Willie Nelson); Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now (Diane Warren) and One Moment In Time (Whitney Houston). Notable omission at this show is If You Gotta Break Another Heart.

And if you are a fan, you’ll enjoy the the stories behind the various songs.

Thanks to Leadville200 who recorded and shared the show at Dime.
