Powerful Pain Relief -- CD :angry-chillpill: :angry-chillpill:

Lovejones

1995 Zoo/ BMG Records

Love Jones' second album was released in 1995, again to little notice. Powerful Pain Relief has more soul and pop stylings than their previous effort. "World of Summer" even sounds reminiscent of Hall and Oates, Barry White, and the Bee Gees. The band evolved their loungey sound away from a Combustible Edison bossa nova vibe to more rock but still created a smooth, cocktail mood. "The Thing" has some funk influences and sounds like the song Steely Dan would record if they were still obsessed with Jose Cuervo and the fine Colombian. The standout track is definitely "You Don't Know Me," which is the best and most danceable song in the Love Jones catalog. Jon Brion again joins the band and plays Korg Moog synth, chamberlin, and piano on about half the album. If Here's to the Losers was a quiet, late-night album, Powerful Pain Relief is loud, mid-day party disc. But liquor is still the flavor of the day; the album's title refers to the morning after hangover and aspirin. Here's to the Losers and Powerful Pain Relief were the only full-length CDs by Love Jones and are the kinds of releases for which music lovers scour used CD bins. ~ JT Griffith

Love Train: The Best of The O'Jays -- CD :banana-rock: :banana-dance:

The O'Jays

1994 Sony Legacy

This is part of the Legacy Rhythm And Soul series.

The once monolithic Motown Sound had begun to fragment in the early '70s, and into the breach came Philadelphia International, the label run by genius producers/songwriters Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff. Their stable of artists basically ruled the radio and the nation's dance floors in the middle of the decade, and the O'Jays were probably their classiest act.
This greatest hits album is a brilliant distillation of the group's best work of the period. It's also a fascinating time capsule look back at an era when socially conscious music ("Survival," the ominous sounding "For the Love of Money") could co-exist with poppy appeals to the feet ("Livin' for the Weekend," "Time to Get Down").

Track listing

1. Love Train
2. Back Stabbers
3. 992 Arguments
4. Survival
5. For the Love of Money
6. Put Your Hands Together

Let's Stay Together -- CD

Al Green

1971/1993 Hi/The Right Stuff Records

A classic Al Green album, April 10, 2009
By J. Sawon - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)
This review is from: Let's Stay Together (Audio CD)

Everyone knows the title track "Let's stay together", but the other ten songs on this album are equally good; personal favourites are "So you're leaving" and "It ain't no fun to me". Of course you should buy this album for Al Green's incomparable vocals, but don't overlook Willie Mitchell's arrangements, both sparse and rich/lush where appropriate. This band has one of the coolest rhythm sections, including legendary Memphis drummer Al Jackson Jr. on the title track. If you are new to Al Green, I'd recommend starting with the albums "I'm still in love with you" and "Call me", then "Let's stay together"; but they are all five star albums, and it hardly makes sense to rank them.
Side One

"Let's Stay Together" (Green, Jackson, Mitchell) – 3:18
"La-La for You" (Green, Mitchell) – 3:31
"So You're Leaving" – 2:57
"What Is This Feeling?" – 3:42
"Old Time Lovin'" – 3:19

Side Two

"I've Never Found a Girl (Who Loves Me Like You Do)" (Floyd, Isbell, Jones) – 3:41
"How Can You Mend a Broken Heart?" (Gibb, Gibb) – 6:22
"Judy" – 3:47
"It Ain't No Fun to Me" – 3:23

Greatest Hits -- CD

Bill Withers

1981 Columbia Records

Pop/soul legend Withers was one of the most important figures in '70s R&B, but most of his catalog remained shamefully unavailable throughout the '90s. Fans who followed Withers into the CD age (and those who weren't around during his glory days) were forced to content themselves with this short but definitive anthology. Withers' smooth '80s hit "Just The Two Of Us" kicks things off, but it's the '70s cuts that are the meat of his catalog.
Withers' gift for marrying lyrical simplicity, soul, and an undefinable freshness of presentation sets his early work apart. "Use Me," with it's angular, funky clavinet line and unabashedly sexual lyrics, is prime Withers. The moody, minor-keyed lost-love lament of "Ain't No Sunshine" demonstrates his ability to articulate loss without resorting to sentimentality. The classic "Lean On Me" adds a touch of Gospel for an unpretentious anthem of emotional solidarity. Listening to this collection, one can't help but marvel at the fact that Withers' original albums have remained out of print for so many years.

Track listing

1. Just the Two of Us
2. Use Me
3. Ain't No Sunshine
4. Lovely Day
5. I Want to Spend the Night
6. Soul Shadows
7. Lean on Me

Loverly -- CD

Cassandra Wilson

2008 Blue Note Records

Amazon.com

Cassandra Wilson's Loverly is something more than just her unique spin on songs from long ago. For this set, she has assembled an impressive core group of musicians to accompany her: Jason Moran on piano, Lonnie Plaxico on acoustic upright bass, and Marvin Sewell on guitar. Her low and hypnotic contralto glides so knowingly through each song that they would seem to be of her own creation--but aren't. To be sure, each of the 12 songs found on Loverly are stamped with her trademark Delta-baby, bluesy style (most noticeably on "Dust My Broom"). But Wilson and company have taken it one step further by turning tear-jerkers such as "Til There Was You" and "The Very Thought of You" into sultry bubblers that invite ballads into the bedroom. Throw in the moody "Black Orpheus" and her funky, down-to-business take on "St. James Infirmary," and it doesn't take long to realize that Loverly is a complete attempt to satisfy the soul; a sexy mesh that dares rival anything Cassandra Wilson has released before it. --Eric C.P. Martin

"Lover, Come Back to Me" (Sigmund Romberg, Oscar Hammerstein II) – 4:16
"A Day in the Life of a Fool" (Luiz Bonfá, Antonio Maria) – 4:58
"Wouldn't It Be Loverly" (Alan Jay Lerner, Frederick Loewe) – 5:02
"Gone With the Wind" (Herb Magidson, Allie Wrubel) – 5:51
"Caravan" (Duke Ellington, Juan Tizol, Irving Mills) – 4:23
"'Til There Was You" (Meredith Willson) – 6:42
"Spring Can Really Hang You Up the Most" (Fran Landesman, Tommy Wolf) – 5:01
"Arere" (Babalola, Moran, Plaxico, Riley, Sewell, Wilson) – 5:42
"St. James Infirmary" (Irving Mills) – 4:40
"Dust My Broom" (Elmore James, Robert Johnson) – 4:46
"The Very Thought of You" (Ray Noble) – 4:47
"A Sleepin' Bee" (Harold Arlen, Truman Capote) – 4:35

His Best -- CD

The Electric B.B. King

1998 MCA Records

Product Description

Although this collection has "Don't Answer the Door," "Paying the Cost to Be the Boss" and a nice live re-cut of "Sweet Sixteen" to highly recommend it, this 1968 issue is hardly King's best, and the "electric" part of the title makes it sound like there's an acoustic B.B. King album lurking around somewhere that you and I somehow missed in the last 40 years. To be sure, these are rock solid performances all recorded between 1965 to 1968, just as King's music was getting slicker and more urban. But this was one of the albums that helped introduce B.B. to a more modern audience (it's gone on to sell over a million copies in 30 years' time), heading straight to the timeline of "The Thrill Is Gone" putting him on the map worldwide. This 1998 CD reissue also includes three bonus tracks, studio versions of "Waitin' On You" and "Night Life," plus "Messy But Good" from the motion picture soundtrack For the Love of Ivy. Not his best, certainly electric, and ultimately, a good one to add to the collection after you've gotten about five or six others first. ~ Cub Koda, All Music Guide --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

1. Tired Of Your Jive
2. Don't Answer The Door
3. The B.B. Jones
4. All Over Again
5. Paying The Cost To Be The Boss
6. Think It Over
7. I Done Got Wise
8. Meet My Happiness
9. Sweet Sixteen
10. You Put It On Me
11. I Don't Want You Cuttin' Off Your Hair

Live At The Apollo -- CD

B.B. King

1991 GRP Records

Amazon.com

It's not that there's anything wrong with this 1990 recording: King's expressive guitar work and vibrant vocals rarely disappoint in a live setting, and this release here he has a top-notch big band behind him. In addition to U2's "When Love Comes to Town," King rolls through nine staples, including "Sweet Sixteen," "Thrill is Gone," and "Paying the Cost to Be the Boss." On the other hand, King has produced a number of absolutely riveting live albums, including Live at the Regal, Blues Is King, and Live in Cook County Jail. They remain high points of blues history, relegating this solid release to the second tier. --Marc Greilsamer

"When Love Comes to Town"
"Sweet Sixteen"
"The Thrill Is Gone"
"Ain't Nobody's Bizness"
"Paying The Cost To Be The Boss"
"All Over Again"
"Nightlife"
"Since I Met You Baby"
"Guess Who"
"Peace To The World"

Live At The Regal -- CD

B.B. King

1965/1990 ABC/MCA Records

Amazon.com essential recording

Heralded as one of the greatest live blues albums ever recorded, this set catches the singer-guitarist as his star was in ascent: in 1964 playing Chicago's answer to Harlem's Apollo Theater--the Regal. King's performance is visceral. He sings so hard that gravel flies even in his clearest high notes. And his trademark single-note guitar lines are sharp and steely, matching his voice with trembling vigor. He offers early hits like "How Blue Can You Get," "Worry, Worry," and "You Upset Me Baby" to what's essentially his adopted hometown crowd (by his own account, King had already played the theater hundreds of times). They give him a hero's welcome. In fact, the audience's screaming enthusiasm is distracting. But rarely has a love-fest of this magnitude between a performer and fans been documented. --Ted Drozdowski

"Every Day I Have the Blues" (Memphis Slim) - 2:38
"Sweet Little Angel" (Riley King, Jules Taub) - 4:12
"It's My Own Fault" (King, Taub) - 3:29
"How Blue Can You Get?" (Leonard Feather) - 3:44
"Please Love Me" (King, Taub) - 3:01
"You Upset Me Baby" (King, Taub) - 2:22
"Worry, Worry" (Maxwell Davis, Taub) - 6:24
"Woke Up This Morning (My Baby's Gone)" (King, Taub) - 1:45
"You Done Lost Your Good Thing Now" (Joe Josea, King) - 4:16
"Help the Poor" (Charlie Singleton) - 2:58

Deuces Wild -- CD

B.B. King

1997 MCA Records

Amazon.com

B.B. King, probably the most celebrated living blues player, has come a long way from Itta Bena, Mississippi, and this CD illustrates just how far. A series of guest shots by such artists as Van Morrison, Tracy Chapman, Eric Clapton, Mick Hucknall, Bonnie Raitt, Dr. John, Joe Cocker, Marty Stuart, the Rolling Stones, and Willie Nelson, Deuces Wild is far removed from the blues King played in the '40s and '50s. It's more like psychodrama, especially in the case of the Cocker track, "Dangerous Mood." Nobody here, celebrity notwithstanding, is just going through the motions. The album's crass concept is redeemed by, among others, drummers Steve Jordan, Jim Keltner, and Charlie Watts. Although it's an overblown international project with no affinity for the meaning of the blues, the players and their love for the music triumph. --Stanley Booth

"If You Love Me" (with Van Morrison) - 5:48
"The Thrill Is Gone" (with Tracy Chapman) - 5:00
"Rock Me Baby" (with Eric Clapton) - 6:38
"Please Send Me Someone to Love" (with Mick Hucknall) - 4:16
"Baby I Love You" (with Bonnie Raitt) - 4:00
"Ain't Nobody Home" (with D'Angelo) - 5:18
"Pauly's Birthday Boogie" (with Jools Holland) - 3:39
"There Must Be a Better World Somewhere" (with Dr. John) - 4:50
"Confessin' the Blues" (with Marty Stuart) - 4:32
"Hummingbird" (with Dionne Warwick) - 4:20
"Bring It Home to Me" (with Paul Carrack) - 3:10
"Paying the Cost to Be the Boss" (with The Rolling Stones) - 3:35
"Let the Good Times Roll" (with Zucchero) - 4:00
"Dangerous Mood" (with Joe Cocker) - 4:55
"Keep It Coming" (with Heavy D) - 3:57
"Cryin' Won't Help You Babe" (with David Gilmour & Paul Carrack) - 4:12

20th Anniversary Collection -- 2 CD Box Set

Blind Pig Records

1997 Blind Pig Records

Amazon.com

One would expect a label's two-CD collection, no matter how assiduously picked, to have some low points. It's inevitable, one might think; even the most selective record labels have produced some duds. But on the 20th Anniversary Collection from Blind Pig Records, such low points are non-existent. It's a testimony to the label's exacting standards and the many reels of quality blues they've recorded over their first 20 years. There's something for everyone on this set, from traditional acoustic blues (check out Johnny Shines's rendition of "Blues Come to Texas"), to modern rockers (Jimmy Thackery and the Drivers' "Drive to Survive," for instance). Many up-and-coming artists are featured here, including Deborah Coleman ("My Heart Bleeds Blue") and Debbie Davies ("Howlin' at the Moon"), counterbalanced with plenty of old hands such as Carey Bell ("That Spot Right There") and John Lee Hooker ("Terraplane Blues"). There's even a rousing "La Vierge" from zydeco accordionist Al Rapone. All in all, while it's possible that not everything here will appeal to every taste, there's definitely something here for everyone. --Genevieve Williams

Probably my least favorite Radiohead album, but it has really grown on me. There's Special Editions of their older albums that contain a lot of B-sides and live content. I plan on adding those to my collection.

Only The Lonely

Mavis Staples

1970 Volt/Stax Records

Nothing lonely here – as Mavis Staples hits a newly sophisticated groove that's set up in full arrangements from the great Horace Ott, and produced with a nicely sweet touch from Don Davis! The sound is a great example of the changes going on at the new Stax at the end of the 60s – a more mature, adult sort of sound that goes way beyond simple soul – especially the too-sweet style that sometimes dominated female acts during the Stax/Atlantic years. Ott's backings have never sounded better, and at points Mavis almost brings an Aretha-like depth to her vocals – or even better, hits a range that really ranks right up there with some of the best indie female southern soul acts of her generation. Titles include "Don't Change Me Now", "It Makes Me Wanna Cry", "I Have Learned To Do Without You", "You're The Fool", "What Happened To The Real Me", and "How Many Times".

01 I Have Learned To Do Without You

This one is fun. It was the very first 5.1 demo I ever heard (I was auditioning studio speakers, heard this on some very expen$ive JBL's but bought the Tannoy Reveals). I got tired of listening to the Eagles playing in a cover band, but its been 4 years and hearing these guys now is just... cool!
They're showmanship is just a bit lower than the Cars (very bad) but the razor-sharp harmonies make up for it. :text-bravo:

Hey Botch, that is definitely a great one! I throw it into the DVD Player from time to time and just totally enjoy it.

I also have this one, and it is not as good, however anything with Joe Walsh is worth a watch and listen.
