Elf - Carolina County Ball / Trying To Burn The Sun reissue album review
Ronnie Dio before he turned to fantasy metal
For their second album Carolina County Ball (1974, 7?10) Glover brought the band over to the UK to record at the newly opened Manor Studios and encouraged them to expand their sound. With Dio and piano player Mickey Lee Soule sharing all writing duties, this they duly did. The prevalence of piano in places brings shades of Elton John (whose seminal Goodbye Yellow Brick Road double, released the year before, was surely an influence), not least on the prophetically titled Rainbow, but Carolina County Ball, though, covers a wide range of styles. The title track is an initially mid-tempo boogie-woogie that also features a clarinet, brass section and ace female backing vocals. Ain’t It All Amusing and the raucous Do The Same Thing sound more like the reason Elf opened for Purple on the Mark III line-up’s Burn tour.
Dio’s extraordinary voice saw Purple’s Roger Glover and Ian Paice opt to spend a break from their hectic US touring schedule producing the self-titled Elf debut album (1972), which painted them as Cortland County’s best Rod Stewart & The Faces soundalikes. When Glover left Purple, he continued as Elf’s producer.
...Overall, though, this album seems a little less focused than its predecessor. In the end, it mattered not as Elf were defunct even before it hit the racks, four-fifths of them – guitarist Edwards deemed surplus to requirements – having already recorded the debut album by (and hit the road as) the first line-up of Rainbow…also Happy and Blanche.
