Tommy Hoehn
Thomas Forbes Hoehn Jr. (November 2, 1954June 24, 2010) was an American singer, songwriter, keyboard player, and guitarist. Along with Jon Tiven, he led the Memphis power pop group Prix before embarking on a solo career. He also provided backing vocals on Big Star's third album, ''Third/Sister Lovers'', and collaborated with Big Star members Alex Chilton and Chris Bell as well as Memphis power pop group The Scruffs. Hoehn and Tiven formed Prix in 1975, not long after Hoehn had given Tiven a tape of his material. Enlisting Chris Bell as a co-producer, the group recorded numerous songs in Ardent Studios over a six-month period. While Prix garnered some major label interest, and performed at a Columbia/CBS Records showcase in New York in 1976, the group ultimately only released two contemporaneous singles, and broke up in early 1977. A compilation of eleven songs recorded by Prix, entitled ''Historix'', would be released almost 40 years later. Following the break up of Prix, H ...

''Bach's Bottom'' is the second solo album by American pop rock musician Alex Chilton, released in 1981. ''Bach's Bottom'' was recorded in September and October 1975 at Ardent Studios in Memphis, Tennessee. Production The album was produced by Jon Tiven, who also played guitar in place of Chilton. The album title is a play on both the Box Tops and the phrase "rock bottom." Critical reception The ''Orlando Sentinel'' wrote that "nothing is pretty on ''Bach's Bottom'', but it's all beautiful in a scary, decrepit sort of way." The ''Spin Alternative Record Guide'' deemed the album a "major 'lost'-era work." ''Stereo Review'' called it an "unholy mess of an album," writing that "if you like Chilton at his most ludicrously dissolute, you'll be glad to have it." Track listing ;Side 1 #"Take Me Home and Make Me Like It" (Alex Chilton, Benny Davis, Danny Graflund, Grover DeLuca, Jon Tiven) – 2:32 #"Everytime I Close My Eyes" (Jon Tiven) – 1:47 #"All of the Time" (Alex Chilton, Le ...

Third (Big Star Album)
''Third'' (reissued in 1985 as ''Third/Sister Lovers'') is the third studio album by the American band Big Star. The sessions started at Ardent Studios in September 1974. Though Ardent created promotional, white-label test pressings for the record in 1975, a combination of financial issues, the uncommercial sound of the record, and lack of interest from singer Alex Chilton and drummer Jody Stephens in continuing the project prevented the album from ever being properly finished or released at the time of its recording. It was eventually released on March 18, 1978, by PVC Records. After two commercially unsuccessful albums, ''Third'' documents the band's deterioration as well as the declining mental state of singer Alex Chilton. It has since gone on to become a cult album, and was placed at number 449 on ''Rolling Stone''s 2012 list of the "500 Greatest Albums of All Time". Its reputation growing with time, the album moved up to number 285 on the magazine's 2020 listing. The album ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
