Mud (groupe)

Mud (maintenant Mud II ) est un groupe de glam rock anglais, formé en . Leur premier succès est venu dans un style pop, puis glam rock, tandis que par la suite ils ont été influencés par le rock and roll des années 1950; particulièrement dans leurs singles à succès « Tiger Feet (en) », qui était le single le plus vendu au Royaume-Uni en 1974, et « Lonely This Christmas (en) » qui atteint les Christmas number ones (en) en . Après avoir signé pour Rak Records et fait équipe avec les auteurs-compositeurs/producteurs Nicky Chinn et Mike Chapman, le groupe enregistre quatorze succès parmi les 20 meilleurs au Royaume-Uni entre 1973 et 1976, dont trois numéros un[1].

Histoire

Le groupe est fondé par le guitariste principal Rob Davis (né Robert Berkeley Davis, le , Carshalton, Surrey), le chanteur principal Les Gray (né Thomas Leslie Gray, le [2], Carshalton, Surrey; mort 21) , Lagos, Portugal ), le batteur Dave Mount (né David George Mount, le , Carshalton; décédé le à l'hôpital St Helier, Carshalton [3] ) et le bassiste Ray Stiles (né Raymond John Stiles, , Guildford, Surrey).

Mud dans TopPop d'AVRO (émission de télévision néerlandaise) en 1974

Le groupe sort son premier single "Flower Power" sur CBS en 1967, mais ne perce pas immédiatement[4] - [5] - [6]. Trois autres singles en 1967/68, "Up the Airy Mountain"/"The Latter Days", "Shangri-La" / "House on the Hill" et "Jumping Jehosophat" / "Won't Let It Go", ne font pas impression sur le UK Singles Chart.

Le groupe apparait sur le Basil Brush Show sur BBC TV, et tourne en soutien à Jack Jones. Après des années de singles infructueux, ils signent sur le label Rak de Mickie Most et remportent trois succès dans le Top 20 en 1973 avec "Crazy" (n ° 12), "Hypnosis" (n ° 16) et " Dyna-mite " (n ° 4)[1].

Au sommet de leur carrière, ils savourent également les singles numéro un britannique avec " Tiger Feet "; et " Lonely This Christmas " (1974), un pastiche affectueux d' Elvis Presley ; plus " Oh Boy " (1975), une reprisee du succès de Buddy Holly, qui est également en vedette sur leur album Mud rock Volume 2. "Tiger Feet" se vend à plus de 500 000 exemplaires au Royaume-Uni et à un million d'exemplaires dans le monde[2].

Comme leurs contemporains Sweet, leur période la plus réussie est venue lorsque leurs disques ont été écrits et produits par Nicky Chinn et Mike Chapman: en 1975, ils avaient sept singles dans le Top 40 britannique totalisant plus de 45 semaines sur le palmarès, plus par n'importe quel artiste en 1975. "Oh Boy" est le seul single numéro un produit par Chinn et Chapman qu'ils n'écrivent pas également[7].

" Lonely This Christmas " est diffusé en saison à la radio et à la télévision britanniques (avec " Merry Xmas Everybody " de Slade et " I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday " de Wizzard ). Le groupe également embrasse l'engouement disco en plein essor, comme en témoigne son single de 1976 "Shake It Down" qui a atteint la 12e place du classement britannique. Après "Tiger Feet", ils sortent " The Cat Crept In " qui a atteint le n ° 2 en , qui est écrit pour exploiter l'impression vocale de Les Gray de Presley[8]. Leur prochain single "Rocket" atteint la sixième place au Royaume-Uni, après quoi ils sortent un autre morceau de leur album Mud Rock, une reprise de " In the Mood "; publié sous le nom de "Dum" ("Mud" épelé à l'envers), mais il ne réussit pas à percer dans les classements.

Après le succès avec "Lonely This Christmas", ils monopolisent le marché de la Saint Valentin avec "The Secrets That You Keep", qui atteignit la 3e place en . À cette époque, Mud met fin à leur contrat avec Rak en sortant trois autres singles, " Oh Boy " (leur troisième et dernier numéro 1 britannique), "Moonshine Sally" (numéro 10) et "One Night" (numéro 32). Mud se sépare également de Chinn et Chapman au milieu de 1975 et signe avec Private Stock (sous licence de Philips en Europe continentale). Là, ils apprécient trois autres succès britanniques du Top 20 en sept mois: "LL-Lucy" (n ° 10), la ballade "Show Me You're a Woman" (n ° 8) et le morceau d'influence disco "Shake It Down "(N ° 12). Les deux derniers singles les éloignent progressivement du glam rock, désormais démodé. Le claviériste Andy Ball, anciennement de Candlewick Green, rejoint le groupe brièvement pendant cette période, pour être remplacé au début de 1978 par Brian Tatum[9].

Leur dernier single à atteindre les charts britanniques est une reprise de la chanson de Bill Withers " Lean on Me " qui a atteint le n ° 7 au Royaume-Uni en [1]; suivi par la version solo de Gray de " Groovy Kind of Love " sur Warner Bros., qui culmine au n ° 32 au Royaume-Uni.

En 1977, avec Private Stock en difficulté financière, le groupe déménage à RCA . Leur premier single sur ce label est "Slow Talking Boy", une chanson folk rock composée par John Kongos[10], et mettant en vedette Davis jouant une guitare-mandoline à 12 cordes Vox; ils interprètent cette chanson sur le Top of the Pops de BBC TV[11], mais sans récolter aucun succès dans les charts. Le prochain single de Mud, "(Just Try) A Little Tenderness", est leur dernière apparition sur n'importe quel palmarès national majeur, se classant n ° 98 en Australie[12]. Trois autres singles, toutes les versions de couverture, suivent en 1978 avant que RCA ne laisse tomber le groupe et que Gray ne le quitte pour une carrière solo; le groupe original continue pendant un court moment avec la chanteuse Margo Buchanan à la place de Gray[9], libérant un single infructueux pour Carrere, avant de se dissoudre finalement en 1979.

Dissolution et Mud II

Après la dissolution du groupe, Stiles rejoint les Hollies ; tandis que Davis co-écrit plusieurs succès dance très réussis pour Kylie Minogue et Spiller avec Sophie Ellis-Bextor [1]. Drummer Mount se lance dans le secteur des assurances. Mount apparait dans un épisode de Never Mind the Buzzcocks sur BBC Two en , et figure dans la parade d'identification «spot the pop star of the past». Mount décède le . Il s'était marié deux fois et avait travaillé comme vendeur dernièrement. Sa nécrologie parait dans le journal The Independent[13]. La dernière représentation des quatre membres originaux a lieu le au mariage de Dave Mount; un enregistrement vidéo est réalisé par Mount.

Après la séparation du groupe original en 1979, Gray reforme le groupe sous le nom de «Les Gray's Mud». La formation initiale comprend Stuart Amesbury (guitare rythmique) et Cherie Beck (choeurs) du Cherie Beck Band, basé à Bristol ; avec Dale Fry (basse), Rob John (batterie) et Nick Richie (guitare principale); les deux derniers sont remplacés en 1983 par le guitariste Tim Fish et le batteur Mark Hatwood respectivement[14]. En 1985, un autre changement de composition d'équipe voit Amesbury, Beck et Fry quitter le groupe; avec la nouvelle composition d'équipe complétée par Kevin Fairburn à la basse[15].

En 1987, tous les membres à l'exception de Gray quittent le groupe et Gray fait venir le bassiste John Berry, le batteur Wole Rothe et le guitariste Syd Twynham comme remplaçants. Rothe et Twynham avaient tous deux été membres de Liquid Gold avant de rejoindre Mud. Cette formation dure jusqu'en 1998 lorsque Rothe est remplacé par Phil Wilson, et le groupe ne subit aucun autre changement jusqu'à la mort de Gray en 2004. Après le décès de Gray, les trois membres restants reçoivent la permission des autres membres fondateurs de Mud, plus celle de la famille de Gray, de continuer à utiliser le nom du groupe. Berry, Twynham et Wilson ensuite rebaptisrnt le groupe «Mud II» et recrutent le claviériste et collaborateur à long terme de Mud Chris Savage[16]. L'année suivante, Berry quitte le groupe et est remplacé par Marc Michalski, créant la formation de groupe qui continue encore à ce jour.

Une version courte de "Tiger Feet" est jouée lors de la cérémonie d'ouverture des Jeux olympiques d'été de 2012.
