GULLIVER "SAME" (U.S.ELEKTRA EKS7470) 1970 W DARYL HALL AND TIM MOORE SEAELED TINY CC SLIGHT BND UPPER LEFT CNR
Two members of Philadelphia’s Gulliver later became prominent players in the pop music world. Vocalist and future hit maker Daryl Hall got his start in the band, and Tim Moore would go on to write hits for everyone from the Bay City Rollers and Cher to Art Garfunkel and Colin Blunstone. Their 1969 debut Gulliver is mostly pop rock with soft folk undertones, a sound that Moore would refine on four solo records for the Asylum label in the 1970s. His early work here shows promise. “Rose Come Home” is bright sunshine pop suitable for the Partridge Family, while the ambitious “Enough/Over the Mountain” is darker toned, but no less melodic. You can hear Moore striving to be as tuneful as possible on these and other tracks, yet they all seem to lack the final bit of needed polish to successfully put them over. The album presents an interesting starting point though. After its release, the band broke up and Daryl Hall found work recording demos for other artists with a partner named John Oates. The rest is history. Track listingShow track credits A1 Every Day's a Lovely Day2:45 A2 I'm Really Smokin'2:25 A3 Christine1:45 A4 Rose Come Home3:35 A5 Enough / Over the Mountain a. Enough1:58 b.
