Clover - The Sound City Sessions
Click to Order
The Sound City Sessions - John Mcfee of the Doobie Brothers, Huey Lewis and Sean Hopper of The News, Jeff Porcaro of Toto, Alex Call (songwriter for Pat Benatar and Tommy Tutone among many others), and John Ciambotti - all amazing talents in their own rights - before they were famous - together on this masterpiece. This CD was originally recorded in 1975 at Sound City studios in LA; never before released until now.
Sonic Past Music has unearthed long-lost recordings by the group Clover. On this set of recordings, you will also hear a young, pre-Toto Jeff Porcaro playing drums on several tracks. Additionally, the group features Alex Call, who has written songs recorded by Pat Benatar, Huey, and others, including the Tommy Tutone hit “Jenny/867-5309.” The recordings represented here were recorded at the famous Sound City Studios back in the early to mid seventies, with a number of the tracks produced by Keith Olsen - right around the time he produced Fleetwood Mac’s huge self-titled breakout album - (the one with “Rhiannon”, “Over My Head”, “Say You Love Me”, and so forth.)
Subsequent to these recordings, Clover went on to release two albums of their own that they recorded in Britain with producer Robert John “Mutt” Lange. Also in England, they were Elvis Costello’s band for his legendary debut album, My Aim Is True. An amazing band that needs to be heard!
