Ian’s effort fails
By Mike Koller
X)f The Print
Ian MacLagen is a name but not too many music fans are going
to get excited over, but some of the people MacLagen’s fine
keyboard talents have befen used by have caused a lot of ex
citement in the music industry.
MacLagen’s keyboard work first became noticed when he was a
member of the Faces who, along with Rod Stewart as their leader,
gained attention in the ’70s as a hard-rocking, hard-drinking out
fit. MacLagen has recently become a semi-member of the Rolling
Stones, playing on their albums and touring with them. '
Now with a a little more money in his wallet, MacLagen has
decided to strike out on his own with his.first solo album on Mer
cury Records, titled, “Troublemaker.”
There’s not too much really special about “Troublemaker.”
Most of it sounds like typical British slop-rock with muddy vocals
and thumping guitar chords. MacLagen is trying to sound .like the
Rolling Stones, but at best comes off sounding like a third-rate
version of the real thing.
In fact, MacLagen’s even recruited Stones guitarists Ron Wood
and Keith Richard to achieve that sound, but MacLagen’s
songwriting talents aren’t that good, either.
“La De La,” despite the stupid title, is the best tune on the
album as MacLagen gives his best effort at being a singer with a
hoarse, Rod Stewart-like vocal, but his keyboard playing is what
really shines as MacLagen knows how to pump the ivories.
Otherwise, it sounds like MacLagen should have stuck to
playing keyboards for other groups and left the solo trip to those
who can at least sing and write songs;
