Clarke, Hicks & Nash – Hollies fra 1963-1968
7. maj 2011
Med singlehits som Just One Look (1964), I’m Alive, Look Through Any Window, I Can’t Let Go, Bus Stop, Stop Stop Stop, On A Carousel, Carrie Anne og Jennifer Ecles var den engelske vokalpopgruppe The Hollies med til at definere det lydtapet, der var bag mine teenageår. Og selv om jeg var inkarneret Beatlesfan, så gik Holliessangene rent ind og blev derinde på nostalgiens båndoptager. Graham Nash, Allan Clarke, Tony Hicks, Eric Haydock og Don Rathbone indspillede et imponerende antal singler med hitkvaliteter i årene 1963-1968. Det var nærmest en selvfølge, at deres fine vokalarbejde var en del at toppen af poppen.
Hollies var en del af den første bølge, da The British Invasion ramte USA. Og de udviklede sig som mange af denne bølges bands fra at være regulære kopister til selv at skrive sange eller i det mindste få andre til at skrive sange for sig.
I næste uge udsendes et bokssæt med revl og krat af, hvad der blev lavet med Clarke, Hicks & Nash i de fem år, hvor de sprøjtede hits ud. På seks cd’er dokumenteres deres formidable vokalharmonier og imposante produktivitet. I forbedrede lydudgaver forstås. Selv om det slet ikke er nødvendigt. Sangene skal nok klare sig alligevel…
