Best of Dark Horse 1976 -1989 -- CD

George Harrison

1989 Dark Horse/Warner Bros. Records

Overlooked and Undervalued, March 17, 2003
By "bjohnson65" (HAMPTON, Virginia, United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Best of Dark Horse (Audio CD)

I love this CD! Many Harrison purists have scoffed at this one because it's not his best work -- but I found it a wonderful collection anyway. Although most of my favorite songs are also available from the CLOUD NINE collection, there was enough additional material to make it a worth while purchase -- especially CHEER DOWN which was only available on the LETAL WEAPON 2 soundtrack. This album was particularly hard to find! Get it while you can!

Rattle and Hum -- CD

U2

1988 Island Records

Amazon.com

The ill will that initially greeted Rattle and Hum--the follow-up to the band's massively successful Joshua Tree album--was due in large part to the bloated and self-important feature film that accompanied it, which showed the band as being simultaneously naive and pretentious as it "discovered" America. But as the film mercifully slips from memory, the music has remained, from the furious swirl of "Desire" and a clutch of live hits to insightful musical nods to heroes such as Bob Dylan, John Lennon, and Billie Holiday. Songs like "When Love Comes to Town," a supercharged blues duet with B.B. King, suggests the quartet knew more about America from listening to its music than Phil Joanou's unintentional mockumentary suggested. --Daniel Durchholz

Destiny -- CD

Gloria Estefan

1996 Epic Records

Real Latin music at its best
, October 3, 1999
By Chad - pnkyclnt@sd.cybernex.net (Pierre, SD USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Destiny (Audio CD)

I am by far the biggest Gloria Estefan fan in my home state (SD), and most likely the US, and Destiny is my favorite album by Gloria. What bugs me is that nowadays, the only Latin music there is playing is Ricky and Jennifer, and that's not even true Latin in my mind, its just a bad blend of pop and latin. However, this album is pure Latin from the title track, to my favorite song, "Reach". The mezmorizing guitar playing on "Steal Your Heart", and the ballad "Show Me the Way Back to Your Heart" written by Diane Warren are just some other favs on this album and let's not forget "Along Came You" which Gloria wrote for her daughter. This album has everything, including great dance numbers. So if you like REAL latin music, then I can't tell you how much I reccommend this album.

1. "Destiny" G. Estefan, L. Dermer, E. Estefan Jr., D. Warren 5:13
2. "I'm Not Giving You Up" G. Estefan, K. Santander 4:20
3. "Steal Your Heart" G. Estefan, K. Santander 3:47
4. "The Heart Never Learns" J. Casas, L. Dermer 4:32
5. "You'll Be Mine (Party Time)" L. Dermer, E. Estefan Jr., C. Ostwald 4:50
6. "Path of the Right Love" G. Estefan 5:20
7. "Show Me the Way Back to Your Heart" D. Warren 3:57
8. "Along Came You (A Song for Emily)" G. Estefan 6:18
9. "Higher" L. Dermer 3:49
10. "I Know You Too Well" G. Estefan, D. Warren 4:55
11. "Reach" G. Estefan, D. Warren 3:49

Love Songs -- CD

Elton John

1996 RCA Records

LOVE SONGS is a career-spanning collection that takes great liberty with what it means to be a love song. It includes some of John's biggest, and most obvious, pop standards, such as "Your Song" and "Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word," and reels in a few songs that have never appeared on an Elton John album, including his two Grammy-winning songs from THE LION KING and his duet with George Michael on "Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me."It also includes several ballads that stretch the boundary of love songdom. "Daniel" is a gorgeous ballad about some sort of loss; it was written as a tribute to a Vietnam vet. "Circle Of Life," one of THE LION KING tracks, is a pop song about growing up that expresses a wondrous love for the mystery of life without being about "love" at all. And the rock ballad "No Valentines," one of two new songs written for this collection with longtime lyricist Bernie Taupin, is a vicious breakup note. They almost all sound like classic love songs, though, because of John's gift for composing ballads and his sweet British tenor. No matter what he's singing about, it's easy to fall in love with the sound.

.... Presents The RH Factor: Hard Groove -- CD

Roy Hargrove

2003 Verve Records

Hot Hard Groove, May 20, 2003
By A. Leiber "margret_l" - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)
This review is from: Hard Groove (Audio CD)

Yes, I fell in love with "Hard Groove". It is the best attempt of a Jazz musician ever to fuse Jazz with Hip-Hop, Soul & R&B - and time for it to appear after years of disappointing efforts (sorry, Branford Marsalis, Don Byron). "Hard Groove" lightfootedly manages to bridge the gap in a firework display of Hardbop and Funk elements, with reference to the soundtracks of Blaxploitation films and to Hip-Hop, with wonderful Soul and R&B ballads, perfectly timed and elegantly arranged.
The rappers Common and Q-Tip, Erykah Badu and D'Angelo as well as internationally acclaimed Jazz musicians Meshell Ndegeocello, Pino Palladino, Cornell Dupree and Steve Coleman make the CD a strong statement of cooperation. In addition, "Hard Groove" gives room to Hargrove as a brilliant, extremely versatile soloist and as a remarkable composer. Roy, that CD is almost perfect and a gift. Love to you!

The Very Best of -- CD

Wayman Tisdale

2007 GRP Records

Not many people can boast of having two very different, very successful careers--Wayman Tisdale is, however, one such individual. Tisdale was an NBA star who successfully transitioned into a career playing funk and R&B-charged smooth jazz, and his specialty is drawing forth elegant, guitar-like tones from his electric bass. With veteran aces Lenny White, Brian McKnight, and Kenny Garrett (formerly with Miles Davis) in his corner, Tisdale weaves seamless musical tales that balance tuneful improvisational flair with engaging, confident grooves. THE VERY BEST acts as a nice introduction to Tisdale's amiable style, compiling the finest examples of his many attributes.

The Dark Side of the Moon - MFSL Gold Version,
April 4, 2007
By Bret A. Dagostino "BD"
This review is from: Dark Side of the Moon (Audio CD)

This recording speaks for itself in terms of production quality; this is a long-standing reference recording. The MFSL Gold CD version of this CD is EXCELLENT. I have been a part of the ultra high-end audio industry for over 30 years and only listen to reference quality systems; this transfer is incredibly well done. There are no gain (volume issues) or any lack of resolution in any area. I don't think the performance advantages over the standard and SACD versions are subtle. This is well worth the investment, and becoming rare. Buy it while its available ~

Soul'd! -- CD

Earl Thomas

2003 Memphis International

The third release from singer Earl Thomas seems like it emerged out of a mid- to late-'60s Muscle Shoals session. Jerry Wexler, producer of R&B legends like Etta James, Wilson Pickett, and Solomon Burke, is a fan and supporter of the vocalist. He contributes liner notes comparing Thomas to some of the greats, reinforcing the connection. But after one spin, anyone who loves great soul music will instantly appreciate this terrific album. It's as if Thomas has tapped into the spirit that created the classic R&B/soul sound. Not only is the production free of almost all contemporary flourishes (a synthesizer sneaks in unobtrusively on a few cuts), but the songwriting and playing -- especially the horn section -- is so authentic you'll be checking the credits for the recording date. Thomas wrote or co-wrote six of the ten songs, and they are nearly as good as the recognizable covers of "I'd Rather Go Blind," Ragovoy/Shuman's "Look at Granny Run Run," and Tony Johnson's "Midnight in Memphis." The singer's voice -- smooth but gutsy -- nails these tracks, but he never hogs the show or the arrangements, which are crisp and tight. Guitars and horns solo, then retreat to make room for Thomas' emotive vocals. A gospel-infused chorus helps bring religion to "I Won't Be Around," adding even more authenticity to the sound. "Stronger Than My Flame" fuses organ, snappy drums, punchy horns, and a searing performance from Thomas to make the tune fire on all cylinders. Those who have lost faith in the ability of contemporary soul music (circa 2003) to capture the warmth, inspiration, and intensity of the '60s need to add this, as well as the previous two Earl Thomas albums, to their collections. ~ Hal Horowitz

Jazz Workshop Revisited (Live)-- Remastered CD

Cannonball Adderley Sextet

"Swingin'!!!!", February 13, 2001
By Jeffrey Harris (South San Francisco, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Jazz Workshop Revisited (Audio CD)

I was stopped dead in my tracks the other day while I was browsing in a record store when I heard something instantly familiar from my childhood, playing over the stores sound system. It was " The Jive Samba" by the Cannonball Adderley Sextet, which I'd heard my parents play again and again, and I did once I got my little five year old fingers all over it!!! After being out of print for many years, this classic album has been released on CD. Recorded over three days of performances at San Francisco's legendary Jazz Workshop in September 1962. Adderley's band featured his brother Nat on cornet, Yusef Lateef on saxes, flute and oboe, and pianist Joe Zawinul, later of Weather Report and writer of Cannonball's biggest hit "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy". The highlights of this album include the aforementioned "Jive Samba", "Primitivo", "Unit 7", and "Mellow Buno". Even Cannonball's between song introductions are enjoyable to listen to. It's so great to see this great album available again for everyone to enjoy.

This review is from: Pick Yourself Up (Audio CD)

This is my all time favorite Anita O'day Album. Anita O'day is five steps beyond amazing. Her vocal style can't be beat. Every song she sings gets the special O'day treatment and is forever more her own. The track listing of this album is just chocked full of winners! My favorite is Anita's rendition of 'Stars Fell On Alabama'. Its beautiful and moving. You can just feel the magic of the moment she is describing. Other super hits include the slinky 'Sweet Georgia Brown', the peppy 'Pick Yourself Up' and the bittersweet 'There's A Lull In My Life'. Also, this Cd gives you alternative takes on songs and the rockin bonus tracks 'Getaway and The Chase' and the classic 'Rock and Roll Waltz'. This is one of the records I play when I want to get into a good mood. It always makes me smile. Bottom line, Its a FANTASTIC album at a SUPER price. Don't miss it!

This review is from: Come on Home (Audio CD)

I grew up on Ray Charles, James Brown, soul, blues, country & gospel. I've been listening to and collecting music for 40 years, and have approx. 3,000 recordings. Simply put, this is one of the best, most soulful, powerful, bodaciously BAD records I've ever heard! There is not a weak cut here. Boz sounds like he's been holding this in for 30 years! The production & playing are flawless, but not too slick. The "live-in-the-studio" sound is preserved. There are no "highlights", every cut is astounding. With that in mind, "Love Letters" brings tears to my eyes, and, like the previous reviewer, I fall to my knees when Boz testifies "I've Got Your Love". His vocal chords should be enshrined; his heart and soul could provide electrical power to most of North America. If you like ANY kind of blues or R&B, you will surely dig this!

Get Lucky -- CD

Mark Knopfler

2009 Reprise Records

This is the sixth solo studio album from the legendary musician and follows 2007's highly successful Kill To Get Crimson, which Rolling Stone heralded as 'a gem' and USA Today described as, '...yet another unpretentious showcase for his unmistakable gifts as a musician, tunesmith and storyteller.'
Recorded at Knopfler's award-winning British Grove Studios in West London, Get Lucky was co-produced with longtime collaborators, engineer Chuck Ainlay and keyboardist Guy Fletcher and featured Richard Bennett, Danny Cummings, John McCusker, Matt Rollings and Glenn Worf. The 11-track album explores a lifetime of musical roots exemplified by the title track. 'The first itinerant person I ever met would sing in soul bands in winter, then work part-time in fairgrounds or 'go pick fruit down south' when the weather turned warm,' explains Knopfler. 'I was about 15 years old, stuck in school and envious. 'Get Lucky' came from him and other traveling characters I went on to meet in places I'd find myself working short-term, like farms, warehouses, building sites, before I got lucky with my songs.'

This review is from: Runnin' Partner (Audio CD)

As always, George Porter, Jr. produces cool, sophisticated, and funky sounds. The sly and earthy "Runnin' Partner" and "Rough Spots" stand out, and "I Wish" is one of the more poignant "On The Road" songs I've heard.

Porter's virtuosity on the bass is unparalleled, so far as I know, and this isn't as well show-cased with a larger band like the Runnin' Pardners as it is in a smaller group. Too bad, but the band is pretty awesome, also.

The Dream of The Blue Turtles -- CD

Sting

1985 A&M Records

Amazon.com essential recording

From one spin of The Dream of the Blue Turtles, Sting's first solo release, it's obvious that for him there would be life beyond the Police. Teamed with a band of top jazz players, he presents his musical visions that had gone unrealized while he was still constrained by his former ensemble. In style and subject matter, it's a decidedly diverse collection of songs and the playing is excellent throughout. The love songs are mostly focused on endings or escapes, and it's quite possible to interpret much of the imagery in reference to the bitter breakup of the Police. Sting's concern with history and politics is in evidence: he makes a father's plea for sanity and restraint in the nuclear age, takes up for the U.K.'s much-abused coal miners, and relates the savage stupidity of World War I to the destructive effects of adolescent heroin addiction. Songs that seem elaborately constructed and recorded contrast with others that are presented as one-take jams. Seen as a whole, The Dream of the Blue Turtles is eclectic, ambitious--sometimes pretentious--but altogether worth owning. --Al Massa

Year of the Horse - Live -- CD

Neil Young and Crazy Horse

Amazon.com

Long may he run, sure, but Young and friends sound like they're in dire need of a creative refuel on this ho-hum live set. The man's clearly coasting. He knocked off the Broken Arrow studio disc without a second thought, and here the tapes roll for 83 minutes in capturing an OK performance (highlight: "Slipaway," the labyrinthine disc-two opener) that is effectively nothing more than an officially sanctioned bootleg. Let's hope he either gets inspired enough to deliver a Sleeps with Angels-style opus or finally wraps work on what should an awesome archival retrospective. --Jeff Bateman

This review is from: After Hours (Audio CD)

Gary Moore is one of those unsung guitar heroes, of which we have far too many of in this world. His guitar playing is impeccable; all one has to do is listen to his great "I've Still Got The Blues (For You)" to understand and appreciate the fluidity and soaring guitar licks. He is truly a master at his craft, but a guitarist nonetheless that hasn't had much airplay, for whatever reason.

If you love good guitar work, ala Clapton, Vaughn, you will also love the work of Gary Moore.
