Eminence - Give It Up flac album

Eminence Front" is a song written and sung by Pete Townshend of The Who. It appears as the sixth track on the group's 1982 studio album, It's Hard. The single reached number 68 on the Billboard Hot 100. Lead singer Roger Daltrey, vocally critical of the album, described "Eminence Front" as the only song on it that he felt was worthy of being released. In the song, Townshend sings about the delusions and drug use of the wealthy and hedonistic.

The production on Give It Up, is much broader, including the use of a good number of Woodstock-based musicians, and the recording style, while undistinguished, is also uninhibiting. There was apparently plenty of overdubbing and more room for the musicians to develop their own points of view towards the material - and yet Bonnie comes out right on top of the whole thing, her precise, erotic, thoroughly disciplined voice providing a perfect center for this gutsy enterprise. The nicest surprise of the album is Bonnie’s three originals. The title song is just what you would expect - a sexually explicit song about a hard choice her man has to make. But Nothing Seems to Matter takes things in the other direction, more melodic, not into a strict rock strait jacket, and just as valid for Bonnie. Finally, You Told Me Baby is one of the two best things on the album.

Bonnie Raitt may have switched producers for her second album Give It Up, hiring Michael Cuscuna, but she hasn't switched her style, sticking with the thoroughly engaging blend of folk, blues, R&B, and Californian soft rock. If anything, she's strengthened her formula here, making the divisions between the genres nearly indistinguishable. Take the title track, for instance
