The Cars - 1979 - Candy-O (2014 HDtracks) [FLAC@192khz24bit]  The Cars  Wikipedia: The Cars are an American rock band that emerged from the new wave scene in the late 1970s. The band originated in Boston, Massachusetts in 1976, with singer, rhythm guitarist and songwriter Ric Ocasek, singer and bassist Benjamin Orr, lead guitarist Elliot Easton, keyboardist Greg Hawkes and drummer David Robinson. The Cars were at the forefront in merging 1970s guitar-oriented rock with the new synthesizer-oriented pop that was then becoming popular and which would flourish in the early 1980s. Robert Palmer, music critic for The New York Times and Rolling Stone, described the Cars' musical style by saying: "they have taken some important but disparate contemporary trends—punk minimalism, the labyrinthine synthesizer and guitar textures of art rock, the '50s rockabilly revival and the melodious terseness of power pop—and mixed them into a personal and appealing blend." The Cars were named "Best New Artist" in the 1978 Rolling Stone Readers' Poll and won "Video of the Year" for "You Might Think" at the first MTV Video Music Awards in 1984. Their debut album, The Cars, sold six million copies and appeared on the Billboard 200 album chart for 139 weeks. As of 2001, the Cars have sold over 23 million albums in the United States. The band broke up in 1988, and Ocasek had always discouraged talk of a reunion since then. Orr died in 2000 from pancreatic cancer. In 2005, Easton and Hawkes joined with Todd Rundgren to form a spin-off band, the New Cars, which performed classic Cars and Rundgren songs alongside new material. The original surviving members reunited in 2010 to record a new album, Move Like This, which was released in May 2011, followed by a short tour. In 2015, they were nominated for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Candy-O (2014 HDtracks)  Artist: The Cars Title: Candy-O Producer: Roy Thomas Baker Release Date: June 12, 1979 Recorded: 1979 at Cherokee Studios in Los Angeles Label: Elektra Records Genres: Rock, New Wave, Pop Rock Duration: 36:45 Website: http://www.hdtracks.com/candy-o-291209 Wikipedia: Candy-O is the second studio album by the American rock band The Cars. It was released in 1979 on Elektra Records. Featuring the Top 20 hit "Let's Go" and the minor hit "It's All I Can Do", the album charted 15 places higher than its predecessor on the Billboard Hot 100. The album features cover art by pin-up artist Alberto Vargas. AllMusic Review by Greg Prato: Since the Cars had created a perfect album with their 1978 self-titled debut, it would be nearly impossible to top it. Instead of laboring long and hard over a follow-up like many '70s bands did after a huge commercial success, the band cranked out their sophomore effort, Candy-O, almost exactly one year later from the first LP. And while the album was not as stellar as its predecessor was, it did contain several classics, resulting in another smash album that solidified the band's standing as one of the most promising new bands of the late '70s. The first single, the Top 20 anthem "Let's Go," proves to be the best track, but plenty of other standouts can be found as well. The title track remains one of the band's best rockers, while the gentle "It's All I Can Do" also deserved to be a hit. The band pays tribute to T. Rex on "Dangerous Type" (the main guitar riff resembles "Bang a Gong"), rocks out on "Got a Lot on My Head" and "Night Spots," shows their softer side on "Since I Held You," and embraces modern pop on "Double Life" and "Lust for Kicks." Their second strong release in a row, Candy-O proved that the Cars were not one-hit wonders, like so many other bands from the same era.  01 - Let's Go - 03:34 02 - Since I Held You - 03:18 03 - It's All I Can Do - 03:47 04 - Double Life - 04:16 05 - Shoo Be Doo - 01:39 06 - Candy-0 - 02:39 07 - Night Spots - 03:15 08 - You Can't Hold On Too Long - 02:50 09 - Lust For Kicks - 03:54 10 - Got A Lot On My Head - 03:00 11 - Dangerous Type - 04:33 All songs written and composed by Ric Ocasek Personnel: Ric Ocasek – rhythm guitar, lead vocals Elliot Easton – lead guitar, backing vocals Greg Hawkes – keyboards, tenor saxophone, percussion, backing vocals Benjamin Orr – bass guitar, lead vocals David Robinson – drums, percussion    ♪♬♫ ENJOY! ♪♬♫ Sharing Widget |
