Julie Driscoll Brian Auger & Trinity - Wheels On Fire (1968) video free download

Howard Rose

Back to the inchoate days of WNEW-FM 102.7 FM "a new groove" on the radio, many album selections came from England. Many of these were in the form of more blues oriented rock than fusion - jazz oriented rock.Among those early selections was one from Julie Driscoll with Brian Auger and the Trinity and it hits the chart at # 3146 as we hope these kinds of obscure selections will live on the net forever. This one is actually a borrowed tune and it is called "Wheels of Fire". Borrowed from whom you might ask? How 'bout Mr. Dylan.

Happy Birthday, Julie Driscoll !!!

Julie Tippetts (born Julie Driscoll, 8 June 1947) is an English singer and actress, known for her 1960s versions of Bob Dylan and Rick Danko's "This Wheel's on Fire", and Donovan's "Season of the Witch", both with Brian Auger and The Trinity. Along with The Trinity, she was featured prominently in the 1969 television special 33 1/3 Revolutions Per Monkee, singing "I'm a Believer" in a soul style with Micky Dolenz. She and Auger had previously worked in Steampacket, with Long John Baldry and Rod Stewart."This Wheel's on Fire" reached number five in the United Kingdom in June 1968. With distortion, the imagery of the title and the group's dress and performance, this version came to represent the psychedelic era in British rock music. Driscoll recorded the song again in the early 1990s with Adrian Edmondson as the theme to the BBC comedy series Absolutely Fabulous, the main characters of which are throwbacks to that era.Since the 1970s, Driscoll has concentrated on experimental vocal music. She married jazz musician Keith Tippett and collaborated with him and now uses the name Julie Tippetts, adopting the original spelling of her husband's surname. She took in Keith Tippett's big band Centipede and in 1974 sang in Robert Wyatt's Theatre Royal Drury Lane concert. She released a solo album, Sunset Glow in 1975; and was lead vocalist on Carla Bley's album Tropic Appetites and also in John Wolf Brennan's "HeXtet".Later in the 1970s, she toured with her own band and recorded and performed as one of the vocal quartet 'Voice', with Maggie Nichols, Phil Minton, and Brian Eley.In the early 1980s, Julie Tippetts was a guest vocalist on an early single by pop-jazz band Working Week, on the song "Storm of Light", which brought them to the attention of a wider audience.

Absolutely agree, Allan Cerf. This is my favourite version by far of a great song – an entirely different interpretation from all the other recordings, with no disrespect at all meant to those. I heard Julie Driscoll with Brian Augur and the Trinity several times live back in those halcyon days in London, not least at a pub gig in Hampstead; I forget whuch one...

I was 18 when I first heard this on LM Radio. It blew my mind. Love it!

This was the 60'2 original as far as I know and one of the greats of all times by Julie. It's a time music which will never be forgotten by those who were in their teens then-like myself. I feel very lucky to have been in my teens then, as was such a great time with smashing tracks like this which put Julie Driscoll 'on the map' for many a teenager. By the cringe it brings great memories back..............
