Product Description
CD Description
Andy Fairweather Low has been something of a quiet man of rock. Chances are you'll know his hits - Wide Eyed And Legless, Reggae Tune, Bend Me Shape Me, Hello Susie, (If Paradise Is) Half As Nice, Gin House Blues, Natural Sinner…. if not his name, but all that's about to change. From the early days in Amen Corner, his solo career and then years spent with Eric Clapton, Roger Waters and Bill Wyman, not to mention playing with Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, The Who, George Harrison and BB King, Andy has not just been a stalwart but a shining light. "The Very Best Of Andy Fairweather Low – The Low Rider" quite rightly celebrates that fact. Released on Proper Records on June 2nd, it features 14 of his best known tracks and will be TV advertised. The CD effortlessly mixes re-recorded versions of his biggest hits with some of the most in-demand live numbers that he plays on tour. And in Spring this year Andy takes to the road with his band The Low Riders on a major UK outing. Born in Cardiff, Andy originally came to fame as vocalist and leader of pop group Amen Corner which claimed an international No 1 with (If Paradise Is) Half As Nice. He then formed the band Fairweather and subsequently began his illustrious solo career. Hand in glove with his music came his tennis – Andy is also an International tennis pro. Tracks: Bend Me Shape Me / Reggae Tune / Spider Jiving / Wide Eyed And Legless / Champagne Melody / La Booga Rooga / Hello Susie / Natural Sinner / Gin House Blues / (If Paradise Is) Half As Nice / Hymn 4 My Soul / I Don't Need / Ashes And Diamonds / When You're Smiling. Also available: Sweet Soulful Music (PRPACD003).

Andy Fairweather Low ,came to fame with Amen Corner,then a sting of classic solo album, long stint as Eric Clapton guitarist,more recently on Roger Waters world tours.Then with a new label in Proper willing to promote his exceptional music,a quite brilliant album a year or so back in Sweet Soulful Music, a great ongoing tour and now this.His greatest songs rerecorded with his current band and a few other musicians and we have one stunning album.The voice is great,he's a top drawer guitar player,a consistently good songwriter as said a solid and tight band we get this album,a total and pure delight from beginning to end fourteen great tracks from hits like Wide Eyed And Legless,Bend Me Shape Me,La Booga Rooga,Gin House Blues and Spider Jiving.Go on get a copy send Andy straight to no.1 with what is total joy and great fun,one we're gonna boogie along too.If Neil Diamond goes to the top of the charts this definitely deserves to join him there,fabulous album from a British Rock n Blues legend.Oh and it says on the cover 'AS SEEN ON TV' really hope thats true,get him on and gert some live music at its best into our living rooms.Oh hes also at Glastonbury so come on BBC get the great man into your weekends coverage.

I was lucky enough to be able to purchase a copy of this at one of his concerts on Friday 6th June.
This is a MUST for ALL AFL fans, updated versions of all his classics and a couple of his recent ones from Sweet Soulful Music.
I rated it five out of five but then I am extremely biased as I am a fan of his from Amen Corner days.
Talk about getting better with age!! 60 this year and still going strong!
Keep on rocking Andy!

Saw Andy Thursday June 5th and would fully endorse the previous review. Have only recently re-discovered his back catalogue, having bought CD Sweet Soulful Music - which hasn't left the CD player for almost a month. Truly outstanding and well worth seeing the tour if you get the chance. So good in fact, off to them a 2nd time at the end of June.

AFL hasn't changed since school days- he is still very much Mr Cool and the music takes me back as well as fast forward- brilliant and completely timeless!

To be honest i was a bit dissapointed. I already have several of Andys Lp`s and honestly think that the production of them is far superior. Read more

Class Act
AFL has been going a long time now but has taken too much time off solo gigging...and we missed him. Read more

Its in him so its got to come out.
I am a lifelong fan of AFL and must confess that this album has taken a few listens to grow on me. He could have chosen so many to re-do from his amazing back catalogue. Read more

Don't think about it, buy it!
This CD is a must have for AFL fans, but I'm just not sure about the way he is being promoted at the moment. Read more
