SENZA VALORE Un
disco di vecchie canzoni, solo quattro brani - realizzato a tempo di
record da Luigi con la sua Bandaccia.
Una registrazione live in studio per esaudire le numerose richieste
ricevute. "Da molte parti mi si chiedeva come fare a reperire i
miei brani meno recenti. - dice Grechi - Purtroppo i vecchi dischi sono
esauriti da tempo e così ho deciso cominciare a pubblicare di
nuovo le perle del mio repertorio, col duplice scopo di renderle disponibili
agli appassionati e di far conoscere meglio al pubblico la Bandaccia
che ormai mi accompagna …"

PASTORE DI NUVOLE Cassette/CD Eccolo lo stronzo!-Il fuoco e la danza-Le vespe-Diggeridoo-Ma che vuoi da me?-Venti gradi sotto zero-Al di là del confine-Stivali e tequila-Supergatto-Pastore di nuvole “Pastore
di Nuvole” – Clouds’ Shepherd – Luigi Grechi’s
most recent work, is not only another milestone along his artistic journey,
but also a further evidence of his many-sided and cross-cultural talent,
that his fans have loved and followed for many years now, with the same
consideration which is usually devoted to cult objects. “Pastore
di Nuvole” is mainly the sound-fresco of the world of today and
of the author’s world: he made this album being certain and aware
that it’s possible to start from country music and move about
many styles, and yet hold the reins without degenerating into mannerist
and tasteless quotations. We are therefore in the presence of an album
we could define as rock, if by this term we mean that concreteness of
sounds and words which is becoming a rarity in the musical production
of our time.

E ALTRE STORIE Cassette/CD Sony Music/Epic (478077 2)- 1994 La coperta indiana-Le chiavi- Il mio cappotto-Tutta la verità su Manuela-Il bandito e il campione-Dublino-Azzardo- Barry-L'isola di Toni-Diretto per il cielo Produced by Vincenzo Mancuso De Gregori’s version of "Il bandito e il campione" has sold over 500,000 copies and it has been given the Tenco Award for the best song of the year. It’s thus time to record an official version of this song, together with some titles already issued in “Azzardo” and other tracks brought back from unavailable old vinyl LPs. Thanks to Vincenzo Mancuso and Lucio Bardi, taking turns on guitar, this is Luigi’s most guitar-based work. |

AZZARDO Self-produced cassette (GREC 1)- 1990 Azzardo-Il bandito e il campione-Deportees-Il mio cappotto-L' isola di Toni-Tutta la verità su Manuela-Vola via!-Paura o libertà-Treasures Untold-Rock della crostata Produced by Ricky Mantoan Despite the limits of home-made recording, this album most faithfully represents Grechi’s live playing, also thanks to all-round guitarist Ricky Mantoan, who had become Luigi’s best fellow traveler in music. This tape was turned down by many record companies, even if it included the first version of “Il bandito e il campione”, as this song was thought to be too intellectual and hardly appealing for the audience. |
