Free as a bird -Cornerstones 5- / Chikuzen Satou

カテゴリ： Favorite, recommendation

HMV , convenience store chain Lawson and Rakuten .
Also at places of concerts Chikuzen takes part in.

Chikuzen's new series of cover works " Cornerstones " -but this album is different.
( Cornerstones 2 )
Cornerstones 3 )
( Cornerstones 4 )
Strictly speaking, this album is not "cover works".
Chikuzen made a debut as a member of Sing Like Talking in 1988 .
Since then, as a session vocalist, he has performed with various topflight musicians who support music scene in Japan, taking part in not only live performances with them but also their works.
Such recordings which "he sang at their requests" are collected in this album , so this is, so to speak, his side works collection.
Some songs are studio recordings and some are live recordings.
One of his important works is " SALT & SUGAR Satoru Shionoya alias SALT. (See Sep. 16, 2009)
" Let Love Lead Me " is a song when they started a duo, and " I Can Recall Spain " is live recording at their concert tour in 2009 .

The oldest song is in 1994 , and the latest one " I Can't Tell You Why " is a new recording created all by himself at home.
Due to recording time, only recordings sung in English are collected.
Even so, this album shows Chikuzen's trajectory as a "first-call session vocalist" and how he has grown up as a musician by working with topflight musicians and composers he respects.
Also as a composer: " The Flame In My Soul " is written by him for a theme song of a TV drama.
" The wings of time " was originally written for Takashi Numazawa 's (See Apr. 25, 2008) solo album in 1999 .
This song is dedicated for the late Jeff Porcaro who performed with S.L.T. at their debut concert.
And this song turned out to be the final recording of the guitarist Kenji Oomura who departed from his life in Nov. 1998 . (See May 18, 2007)
I hope Japanese version of album like this is coming someday.

2013 is 25th anniversary of Sing Like Talking .
And the members of S.L.T. will be 50 years old.
So this year is going to be an important phase for them.
Their new single " 89banmeno seiza " (89th constellation) is coming on Mar. 6 .
And anniversary concerts are held in Osaka and Tokyo in April.
