''Standards'' is a rock album by English singer, songwriter and musician Lloyd Cole released on 21 June 2013 by Tapete Records. It is Cole's tenth solo album under his own name, although only his second since 1995 to feature a full band of additional musicians. Cole produced the album himself with additional mixing by Olaf Opal and Joerg Siegeler. == Background == Cole says that he was inspired by the energy and vibrancy of Bob Dylan's album Tempest, which surprised him considering Dylan's age. Cole said: The album is also notable for its emphasis on electric guitar; Cole had established himself as an acoustic and folk musician through his most recent studio releases and touring predominantly as solo performer with an acoustic guitar. The band assembled by Cole includes, among others, the rhythm section from his debut self-titled solo album (1990) and his follow up 'Don't Get Weird on Me Babe' (1991) in the form of drummer Fred Maher and bassist Matthew Sweet. Blair Cowan a former member of the Commotions plays keyboards and Joan Wasser plays piano and supplies additional vocals. Cole's own son William plays guitar on the album including a solo on the track 'It's Late'. William also appeared in the video for the song 'Period Piece'.〔http://www.theguardian.com/music/musicblog/2013/may/02/new-music-lloyd-cole-period-piece〕 Cole wrote 10 original songs for the album alone before taking them to the studio to play with the other musicians, he only had the guitar parts to play as he had not recorded demo tracks prior to entering the studio. The album features a cover of a John Hartford song called California Earthquake, which Cole mistakenly believed to have been a composition by John Phillips of The Mamas & the Papas after hearing a version sung by Cass Elliot.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.tapeterecords.de/artists/lloyd-cole/ )〕 The album was recorded in Los Angeles, Easthampton and New York and mixed in Bochum. 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「Standards (Lloyd Cole album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
