A vrai dire je ne connais pas très bien les Badfinger en dehors de leurs deux gros (et géniaux) tubes "come and get it" et "day after day" du coup je me suis acheté ce best-of que je commence à débroussailler au fur et à mesure, et ce que j'entends me plait bien! Prenons par exemple ce "i'll be the one", Allmusic m'apprend que ce titre est un inédit enregistré pendant la session de l'album "Straight up", je trouve ça quand même assez dingue de laisser un morceau aussi bon de coté! Vous noterez la grosse influence californienne (les harmonies ne sont pas sans rappeler CSN&Y et la guitare country ne ferait pas tâche dans un disque de Buffalo Springfield ou des Byrds), bref du tout bon pour l'été, et une bonne raison de s'intéresser de plus près à ce groupe gallois à l'histoire vraiment triste.
Badfinger was a welsh band from late 60s and 70s. They were maybe the most successfull act on Apple but their story is quite sad. I don't know so much stuffs about them or their discography, i'm discovering that band at this moment actually. "I'll be the one" can be found on their best of (the one pictured here) and it's wasn't released at the time of it recording (in 1970 or 1971 depending of the sources) during the sessions for "Straight Up". It's amazing to know such a great tune wasn't issued, I love the californian flavour of the harmonies (they remind me CSN&Y) and the guitar sound (a little "country"), a perfect tune for the summer!
