''Cold Chisel'' was the self-titled debut album of Australian pub rock band Cold Chisel. Released in April 1978, it spent 23 weeks in the Australian charts, peaking at number 38. ==Album details== The figure in the foreground of the cover is Micki Braithwaite, Daryl Braithwaite's wife. "Cold Chisel" was produced by the inexperienced Peter Walker, who had previously played guitar with Bakery. The release of the album was hurried to coincide with a tour the band had opening for Foreigner. Although the album was well-received, Don Walker was later to say, "I find it embarrassing, the lyrics are so flowery." Producer Peter Walker intended the album to be a showcase of the breadth of Don Walker's song-writing,〔 and the songs range between jazz-and-blues-based ballads to hard rock. Walker, who wrote the lyrics for all the songs, described the album as being about a former lover that he had separated from long before recording commenced. He said, "I'm involved there, sometimes to the detriment of the song. 'Cause those songs were not great." The band initially saw themselves as an "album band" like Led Zeppelin that was less reliant on singles, and had not intended to release a single from the album. Barnes said, "Every DJ in the country begged us to release "Khe Sanh" as a single. Then they banned it two weeks later. They had to ban something once a week to keep the Catholic Church happy." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cold Chisel (album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
