PETER KINGSBERY/COCK ROBIN

Me pidieron material de este músico y compositor américano no muy conocido por muchos (la gran mayoría) que lideró una banda alla por mediados de los 80′s con un par de temas de lo más hermosos. Peter Kingsbery nace en Arizona en diciembre de 1952.  Después de haber estudiado en el conservatorio de Austin (Texas) decide probar suerte en Los Ángeles como compositor y músico de estudio componiedo canciones para otros como Smokey Robinson o Stephanie Mills. A principios de los 80′s y por esas cosas del destino conocería a Anna LaCazio con quien formaría la banda Cock Robin completando la formación con Luis Molino III (bateria) y Clive Wright (guitarra).
Steve Hillage les produce su primer LP en 1985 “Cock Robin” el cual pasa desapercibido en su país, pero es un éxito en Europa. De este albúm destacan dos temas “When You Heart is Weak” y “The Promise  You Made”.
Don Gehman produce su siguiente disco “After Here Through Midland” (1987), de donde saldría el sencillo “Just Around the Corner”; y finalmente Rhett Davies productor de Roxy Music produciriá su último trabajo “First Love, Last Rites ” en 1989. A principios de la nueva decada y con los Cock Robin separados, Kingsbery se instala en Francia e inicia una carrera en solitario sacando 4 albunes de gran calidad musical pero que curiosamente no han tenido la repercusión que tuvo en su momento Cock Robin (hablamos a nivel de Europa…obviamente!). En el 2006 y después de su último trabajo en solitario “Mon Inconnue” (2002), Kinsgery se reune con su antigua banda y se edita el nuevo trabajo “I Don’t Want to Save The World”.

Les dejo el “Simply the Best of Cock Robin” , el álbum de reunión del 2006 y los 4 discos de este señor con una gran calidad compositiva.

Que lo disfruten.
