Eddie Money 'S/T' CANDY172 - The
name Eddie Money carries an impressive cache in the world of melodic
rock. With a string of successful albums under his arm, together with a
one in a million voice, Mr Money has earned a reputation as an artist
who can be relied upon to always deliver the goods, starting with this
his debut album, originally issued in 1977.
Born Eddie Mahoney in Brooklyn in 1949, he joined the New York Police
Department on leaving school, primarily to escape being drafted, whilst
simultaneously singing for a hard rock band. Eventually though, he moved
out to California and when his band there broke up he was mentored as a
solo artist by renowned promoter Bill Graham who organised a record
deal with CBS.
This debut album was produced by former Doors alumni Bruce Botnick, with
able assistance from famed engineers Andy Johns (Led Zeppelin) and Mike
Clink (Guns 'N Roses). It also featured musical support from members of
the Steve Miller Band and introduced guitarist Jimmy Lyon, a man who
would act as the perfect foil for Eddie's instantly identifiable voice.
The album was a major success boasting two massive hits, namely 'Two
Tickets To Paradise' and 'Baby Hold On'. Achieving sales in excess of
two million units, the album is recognised as one of Eddie's best works.

Eddie Money 'Life For The Taking'
CANDY173 - Eddie Money's life was turned upside down by the runaway
success of his 1977 debut 'Eddie Money'. The fast-talkin' New Yorker had
spent the best part of fifteen years chasing his dreams of rock
stardom, first in bands on his native east coast, then right across the
other side of the country following a move to Berkeley, California back
in '68. Eventually, after being taken under the wing of legendary San
Francisco-based promoter Bill Graham in 1976, he achieved the success he
deserved. 'Life For The Taking' was his second album and recorded with a
clever 'if it's not broken, don't fix it' approach. Sticking to what he
knew best, Eddie reconvened the same team who worked on his debut
album. The results were equally as magical, Eddie's identifiably gritty
voice sitting atop a fine collection of songs that mixed r 'n' b with
rock very much in the same style as his debut album.
Issued in early 1979, the album consolidated the success of his debut,
lodging itself in the top 20 of the US album charts. It also contained
material that would provide more introspective lyrical content such 'You
Can't Keep A Good Man Down' and the magnificent title track, a brooding
epic inspired by his childhood experiences in Brooklyn.

Eddie Money 'Playing For Keeps'
CANDY174 - Eddie Money's first two albums certainly set the scene:
panoramic melodic hard rock filled with memorable hooks supporting an
instantly identifiable rasp. It was a tailor made sound that perfectly
fitted the American airwaves sitting comfortably besides music from the
likes of Boston, Foreigner and Journey. A reliable style that served
Eddie well and it was masterfully replicated on this, his third, album.
Originally issued in 1980, 'Playing For Keeps' took the original Money
format one stage further, upping the stakes by utilising producer in Ron
Nevison. Nevison, of course, was the flavour of the time having learnt
his craft engineering Led Zeppelin and the Who before embarking on a
career guiding some of the world's most successful AOR albums including
records from Jefferson Starship, Survivor and Heart. Keeping the basics
of his band in place (including super-guitarist Jimmy Lyons) the tracks
were augmented by a number of high profile guests, including drummer
Carmine Appice. Highlights include 'Trinidad', 'Running Back' and 'Let's
Be Lovers Again' all featuring Money's soulful vocal and high energy
delivery. That Eddie Money is one of the best performers of his
generation is in no doubt, with 'Playing For Keeps' solidly reinforcing
that assertion.

Eddie Money 'No Control'
CANDY175 - Looking to expand his success even further, Eddie Money
carefully took stock of the situation. His first two albums had been
huge critical and commercial successes but his third album 'Playing For
Keeps', despite its artistic quality, failed to match the impressive
sales of the former records. It was also a particularly challenging time
health wise for Eddie � suffering from Sciatica (a debilitating nerve
disorder) he was forced to record 'No Control' severely handicapped and
in considerable pain.
Switching to work with a new producer, the revered Tom Dowd (Derek &
The Dominoes, Rod Stewart etc), 'No Control' brought Eddie' s music
back into focus, giving it the spit and polish required to elevate the
contents to classic status. Above all else, it was the quality of the
songs that gave the record a golden hue and the raw yet polished
production made it shoe-in for saturation play on FM radio.
Chief amongst the best tracks were the two hit singles 'Think I'm In
Love' and 'Shakin'', but there were deeper songs to explore such as the
John Bellushi tribute 'Passing By The Graveyard (Song For John B)'. With
the continued presence of guitar foil Jimmy Lyons, 'No Control' shot
Eddie back into the spotlight, notching up sales in excess of three
million and re-establishing him as one of the era's most prolific stars.
