Looking Forward: The Roots Of Big Star featuring Chris Bell delivers the origins of his incredible, infl uential and far too short career. This 22-track collection is the fi rst of it's kind to chronicle music made by and with Bell before Big Star's iconic #1 Record-from bands with imaginative names like Rock City, Christmas Future, Icewater, The Wallabys, and more. It examines Bell's progress as a writer, performer, and engineer leading up to Big Star in which the sounds and roots of Big Star are completely evident. Coupled with the previously issued Alex Chilton compilation, Free Again: The \"1970\" Sessions, these two releases provide a look back into the evolution of Big Star. Featuring 6 previously unissued tracks, Looking Forward's packaging also contains photos and liners from Grammy®-nominated writer (and set Producer) Alec Palao, as well as quotes from Bell's bandmates (Jody Stephens, Terry Manning, Tom Eubanks, Steve Rhea) and collaborators (Alan Palmore, Ardent Studio's John Fry), telling the story of how this true talent came to be, who he was, and what he means to us all. A talent we celebrate to this day.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Think It's Time to Say Goodbye By Rock City \u003cbr\u003e1.2 All I See Is You By Icewater \u003cbr\u003e1.3 My Life Is Right By Rock City \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Feeling High By the Wallabys \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Looking Forward By Icewater \u003cbr\u003e1.6 The Wind Will Cry for Me By Rock City \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Psychedelic Stuff By Chris Bell \u003cbr\u003e1.8 The Reason By the Wallabys \u003cbr\u003e1.9 I Lost a Love By Rock City \u003cbr\u003e1.10 A Chance to Live By Icewater \u003cbr\u003e1.11 The Answer By Rock City \u003cbr\u003e1.12 Lovely Lady By Rock City \u003cbr\u003e1.13 Sunshine By Icewater \u003cbr\u003e1.14 Introduction By Rock City \u003cbr\u003e1.15 Sunday Organ By Rock City \u003cbr\u003e1.16 The Preacher By Rock City \u003cbr\u003e1.17 Shine on Me By Rock City \u003cbr\u003e1.18 Try Again By Rock City \u003cbr\u003e1.19 Germany (Backing Track) By Icewater \u003cbr\u003e1.20 Oh My Soul (Backing Track) By Icewater \u003cbr\u003e1.21 All I See Is You (Alternate Backing Track) By Icewater \u003cbr\u003e1.22 Feeling High (Alternate Backing Track) By the Wallabys\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Chris Bell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39273933930567,"sku":"32988154","price":16.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/products\/3209183-2620812_577e5204-3559-4ed0-be61-cdab7ae6b842.jpg?v=1710723328","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/chris-bell-looking-forward-the-roots-of-big-star","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
