Having moved from jazz, Blues and R'n'B to out-and-out pop in his
various 1960s bands, keyboard player Manfred Mann went back to the
drawing board in 1971 with a new quartet, Manfred Mann's Earth
Band, and the intention of focusing on progressive rock. With a
repertoire that leant partly on radical rearrangements of songs by
Bob Dylan and then Bruce Springsteen, largely instrumental epics
that borrowed from Gustav Holst's The Planets suite, and
improvisations based around the interplay between Manfred's
newly-acquired moog synthesiser and the lead guitar of Mick Rogers,
who left in 1975 but later returned, they soon built up a
formidable live reputation throughout much of Europe (particularly
in Germany) and America. Apart from the Holst-inspired
'Joybringer', a top ten hit in 1973, British success was slow in
coming, until a cover version of Springsteen's 'Blinded by the
Light' and its parent album The Roaring Silence three years later
took their status to a new level on both sides of the Atlantic.
This book examines the nine albums, fluctuating fortunes and
various line-up changes from what was to be their best and most
prolific decade.
