Tax, Wally
Bridges Are Burning (2cd)
Exclusively restored dynamic 24 bit remastering from the original master tapes. Deluxe digipak gatefold sleeve. 20 page
booklet including rare archival photos & memorabilia. Liner Notes by Mike Stax (Ugly Things magazine). Music Style: Pop,
Rock, Folk, Ballads. From 1973-'76 ex-Outsiders singer Wally Tax made some of the most accomplished and affecting music
of his career. Teamed with a sympathetic producer (Martin Duiser) and a gifted arranger (Hans Hollestelle), Tax was at
last able to make the kind of records he'd dreamed of: an alluring cocktail of romantic pop, folk, and rock informed by
the work of Aznavour, Sinatra, Tim Hardin, Jacques Brel, Ray Charles, Hank Williams, Roy Orbison and Johnny Jordaan, but
always delivered with his own personal touch. 'Bridges Are Burning' is an anthology compiling the very best of Wally
Taxs mid-seventies work for Ariola Records, including the hit singles 'Miss Wonderful', 'It Ain't No Use', 'Evidently'
and 'Let's Dance', along with sublime LP tracks like 'She's As Lovely As A Breeze', 'She (Went Like She Came)', 'It's
Too Late', 'No Life At All' and the song Wally considered to be the best he ever wrote, 'It's Raining In My Heart'.
These classic recordings are joined by a second disc featuring 20 previously unreleased demos from the same period. The
CD booklet features rare photos along with full liner notes by Mike Stax, including interview material with Martin
Duiser and Hans Hollestelle.
