BRENDA RUSSELL

SUPERSONIC LOVER / Brian & Brenda

Brian & Brenda名義(Russellは付かない)の2nd。
彼女のこの後のキャリアに影響を与えるAndré Fischerと初共演した作品で、Tower Of Powerの参加もあってか前作よりR&B色の強い作品になりました。
1st同様早期のCD化が望まれます。

こちらも日本国内盤がリリースされていたかどうかはわかりません。

WORD CALLED LOVE / Brian & Brenda Russell

Elton JohnのROCKETからリリースされたBrian & Brenda Russell名義のファーストアルバム。
Brian Russellは歌手としてあまり魅力無いのですが、作品全体はBLACK AORとしては素晴らしい出来上がり。
参加メンバーもElton Johnに加えSteve Cropper, Bill Payne (Little Feat), Jeff Baxter (Doobie Brothers)など豪華。
また、当時は無名のDavid Fosterが全面的に参加していることでも知られるアルバムで、早期のCD化が望まれます。

日本国内盤はリリースされていたのでしょうか?

PARIS RAIN / Brenda Russell

7年の時を経て1stや3rdと並ぶ傑作が登場。
元MOTOWNのSteve McKeeverに誘われ新会社HIDDEN BEACHと契約しての第一弾は、AORやJAZZの香りがたっぷり散りばめられた大人のサウンドで、楽曲、歌唱、演奏、どれをとっても申し分の無い仕上がりです。

国内盤は2曲のBonus Trackを含む全13曲入りとしてEPIC RECORDSよりリリース。
ただし、Bonus Trackには作者や演奏者などのクレジットなどは一切表記が無く、デモトラックなのか音質も悪いものの、どちらの曲も素晴らしい仕上がりで一聴の価値はあります。

SOUL TAKIN' / Brenda Russell

大物プロデューサーであるRon Fairに導かれてEMIに移籍。
しかし、製作途中のトラブルなどから発売は1年以上延期となり、EMIでの作品もこれ1枚となってしまいました。
内容は前作に引き続きほとんどの作品のアレンジを本人の手によって行っていますが、全編にわたって生演奏により制作されており、流行の音を意識した前2作とは違うAORな作りになっています。
また、初めて他人の作品のカヴァーを収録しています。

国内盤は同年に東芝EMIよりリリースされている。
