Nine tracks total, including a few Auger originals 'Git Up', 'Future Pilot' mixed with covers of songs by Al Jarreau 'Spirit', 'Lock All The Gates', Traffic 'No Time To Live' and more, including a stunning version of 'Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood'. Many consider this the sequel to their classic double album Streetnoise. --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent! Excellent! Excellent!, November 20, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Encore (Audio CD)

I have had the "vinyl" version of this album for years, and it has been one of my all time favorites. The songs (although not all originals) are performed as though they are originals. I was thrilled to finally find this album in CD form. I highly recommend this album to rock, blues, and jazz fans alike. Even if you are not familiar with Brian Auger or Julie (Driscoll) Tippets, try it...you'll be glad you did.

This review is from: Encore (Audio CD)

Brian Auger and Julie Driscol did a few albums in the late 60s that featured Hammond Organ, a mix of soul and avant jazz, and the social themes of the era. After this they went their own directions, and Julie married King Crimson sideman Keith Tippet, hence the name change. In the mid-70s, they came back with Encore.

Encore plays its hand very smartly. Gone are the Hammond organs and protest lyrics. These two musicians left the 60s behind. Instead, Encore features female backup singers, pollished Fender Rhodes and funky 70s bass, and a laid back yet substative rock jazz feel. Driscols voice is more restrained, and classy, but has not lost its clear bell impact. They do some very enjoable originals, and cover "Don't Let me be Misunderstood," and "Rope Ladder to the Moon."

All the music here is sublime yet effective. It is never commercially slick, nor does it ever fall into 70s prog meandering. \

A great album from start to finish
