Mark Hamill played the harp as part of a trio for a special music recording in the 80s. He couldn’t play harp so he created his own technique. He would have declined, but he couldn’t pass up the opportunity to work with *checks notes* Tony Bennett and Yngwie Malmsteen.

If you could only listen to music from one country from now on, which country would you choose and why is it Sweden?

Friday, January 3: Yngwie Malmsteen, "Facing the Animal"

R.I.P. Colin "Cozy" Powell (1947-1998)

There was no logical explanation for Mercury Records re-signing Yngwie Malmsteen in the late ‘90s: a handful of folks were loudly insisting that metal was making a big comeback, but that was largely wishful thinking with nothing to back it up.  But Facing the Animal was indeed released by a major label in 1997, and if Yngwie was trying to meet the ‘90s by writing crunchier riffs and layering in some bluesier notes, he still shredded all over the place and wrote nonsense lyrics that Mats Levén howled with such melodramatic intensity that he fully crossed over to absurdity.  “Facing the Animal” benefited from a robust Chris Tsangerides production and full-bodied drumming from Cozy Powell in what would prove to be one of his last performances on record, though it would’ve been nice to hear him let loose a little more- of course Yngwie would never allow anyone to potentially overshadow him, but at least his toms hit harder than on Forbidden so this wasn’t the worst way for him to go out.  And though Yngwie naturally overplayed, there was something to be said for him staying true and ignoring if not outright defying prevailing trends.
