At Their Best -- CD
The Crusaders
1973 Motown Records
As a band, the Crusaders were always the most respected, as intelligence and earthiness permeated throughout their best work. The group -- Joe Sample on keyboards, Wilton Felder on bass/saxophone, Wayne Henderson playing trombone, and drummer Stix Hooper -- had been together for close to 15 years when all of the work on this album, At Their Best, was recorded. The title is somewhat misleading. These tracks were compiled from two 1970-1971 albums, Old Socks, New Shoes and Pass the Plate. Both efforts were released when Motown was distributing Chisa in the early '70s. During the time the Crusaders dropped the "Jazz" part of their name, and started to simplify, but not dumb down, their arrangements. At Their Best proves that even during this stylistic change the playing still was top notch and influential. On the track "Listen and You'll See," Sample's judicious electric piano is heard throughout, as it became a hallmark of their '70s work. That track, as well an updated take of their own "Young Rabbits," also has the signature sound of both Felder and Henderson's emotive yet restrained horn playing. A lot of cover material shows up on At Their Best. Sly & the Family Stone's "Thank You (Falletin' Me Be Mice Elf Agin)" is quite close to the original and shows them having fun in a newer genre. The group even brings "Spanish Harlem" to life on a decidedly revamped and surprisingly exciting version. The collection finds the group no doubt doing good work, but the great work came before and after this. ~ Jason Elias, All Music Guide

This review is from: Dangerous Curves (Audio CD)
Awesome CD !! I saw Jeff perform at the 2000 Pasadena JazzFest and was totally captivated by his performance and the music. I bought the CD, 'Dangerous Curves' that day, based on what I had heard. It has been a permanent fixture on my CD player this last year. It is hip,sassy,funky, with a blues feeling.Plus more! Check the smooth,romantic "Till We Meet Again" and the great cover of Smashmouths "Walkin' on the Sun" ! You will enjoy.

Band On The Run -- 25th Anniversary Edition 2 CD Box Set
Paul McCartney & Wings
1974/1999 Capitol Records
Amazon.com essential recording
Band on the Run should have been a disaster. Two of Wings' original members quit in a huff just before its production. The whimsical decision to record in Lagos, Nigeria, became a nightmare when McCartney and company found themselves in a decaying studio, then had many of the project's demos stolen by armed bandits. Despite these hardships--perhaps because of them--Band on the Run remains the most focused and consistently satisfying record of McCartney's wildly uneven post-Beatles career. This mini box set contains the original album, a well-written booklet by Mark Lewisohn, and a bonus disc featuring outtake snippets and interviews with all the album's participants (including its cover crew, which includes actors James Coburn and Christopher Lee) and Dustin Hoffman, who recounts how he spurred McCartney to spontaneously write "Picasso's Last Words" on a dare. This second disc would make a fine radio show; it comes up short where it matters most--in music. Time spent detailing the album-cover photo session could have been more gratifyingly devoted to more contemporary outtakes (much of the bonus Band material is culled from live performances from as recently as the mid '90s; perhaps McCartney wants us to know how important the record has been to him over the years) or to a pair of single B-sides, which are curiously absent here. --Jerry McCulley

Live -- CD
Shadowfax
1995 Sonic Images Records
Review by Chuck Greenberg's widow, February 8, 1999
By Joy Greenberg (greenshadow@fix.net) (San Luis Obispo, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Shadowfax Live (Audio CD)
The last album made before the death of Chuck Greenberg in 1995, "Live" in many ways is the "best of Shadowfax," featuring their most popular material. "Live" demonstrates how different the band sounded in concert (electronic and loud), as opposed to their studio work which was more laid back and acoustic. It also contains my personal all-time favorite track, "A Pause in the Rain," another quintessential Chuck composition featuring his ethereal lyricon AND soulful soprano sax. As with all Shadowfax recordings produced by Chuck, this one is audially flawless--a true "eargasm" for audiophiles and Shadowfans alike.

Full Moon Fever -- CD
Tom Petty
1989 MCA Records
Blame it On The Moon, July 17, 2008
By Tim Brough "author and music buff" (Springfield, PA United States) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER) (VINE VOICE)
This review is from: Full Moon Fever (Audio CD)
After more than a decade of working with The Heartbreakers, Tom Petty took a breather and decided to fly solo. Well, sort of. "Full Moon Fever" is a Tom Petty album in name, but features songs co-written by Mike Campbell (who co-produced), and features Campbell, Howie Epstein and Benmont Tench on assorted songs.
What set this apart from the Heartbreakers' work was the impressive guest list. ELO's Jeff Lynne produced, Roy Orbison and George Harrison - three of the Traveling Wilburys - sang (and Del Shannon contributes 'barnyard noises'), along with a crack group of session cats. Lynne's fascination with roots rock hybrids (Dave Edmund's Information and some of his ELO songs) meshed perfectly with Petty's new direction, and Petty brought his strongest album's worth of songs since *** the Torpedoes.
The result was an album that was consistent all the way through, with Petty sounding loose and relaxed. There's his terrific anthem "I Won't Back Down," the rocking "Running Down a Dream" and the powerful tribute to Los Angeles, "Free Fallin'," some of the best singles he's ever done. Finally, there's a serious affirmation of his influences with the Byrds' "Feel a Whole Lot Better" marking Petty's first cover.
The non-hits here carry "Full Moon Fever" to the top of the ratings. The single-acoustic guitar of "Alright For Now" was one of the simplest pieces Petty ever committed to tape and one of the most beautiful. "Zombie Zoo" is a lighthearted laugh of a rocker, and "Yer So Bad" has a great sense of humor in it. There really isn't a bad song in the bunch, with the weakest ("Apartment Song") still better than some of his other album tracks. It's a classic album from an artist that already had two five-star albums under his relatively young belt.

Love Tattoo -- CD
Imelda May

This review is from: Love Tattoo (Audio CD)
If you go to hear Imelda May perform live, she's not doing to have dancers on stage, or a head mic, and there won't be any lip synching. This is a real singer with soul, attitude, and a great band behind her. Do yourself a favor and buy this record - this is what music used to be like, back when talent, not just looks, made the difference. "Love Tattoo" is a superb record, and Imelda May deserves to be heard.

Mothership is a compilation album by English rock group Led Zeppelin, released by Atlantic Records and Rhino Entertainment on 12 November 2007 in the United Kingdom, and 13 November 2007 in the United States. It was released on the same day that Led Zeppelin's entire catalog became available in digital stores, including the iTunes Store.[1] The cover (designed by artist Shepard Fairey) is a graphical interpretation of the Beresford Hotel, Glasgow, Scotland.
The songs included were chosen by the surviving members of Led Zeppelin, Robert Plant, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones, and represent eight of the band's nine studio albums. In addition to a two-disc set, the album is also available in both "deluxe" and "collector's" editions with a DVD featuring varied live content from the previously released Led Zeppelin DVD. A 4-LP vinyl package was also released on 26 August 2008.[2]
On 8 November 2007, a temporary XM radio station, XM LED was made in order to support the album. It was scheduled only to last six months, and ceased its operations on 5 May 2008. The channel was actually dropped from the XM lineup on 7 March 2008. It is now up and running again and features Led Zeppelin music 24/7.

The Best Of Kansas -- CD
Kansas

Good Place To Start, July 1, 2000
By Bill R. Moore (New York, USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Best of (Audio CD)
This is that rare best of album that actually features the band's best of. Not sacrificing longer tracks for shorter pieces (well, Magnum Opus maybe, but...) this collection truly gives a good overview of Kansas. The radio hits are here: Carry On, The Wall, Hold On, Point of No Return, and of course, Dust In The Wind, but even they feature prog overtones. But it's the longer pieces that show the band's excellent musicianship, like Song For America, No One Together, The Pinnacle, and Closet Chronicles. All in all, a good place to start if you're just getting into Kansas.
"Carry on Wayward Son" – 5:22
"Point of Know Return" – 3:11
"Fight Fire with Fire" – 3:40
"Dust in the Wind" – 3:27
"Song for America" – 9:07
"Hold On" – 3:51
"No One Together" – 6:57
"Play the Game Tonight" – 3:26
"The Wall" – 4:47
"The Pinnacle" (Livgren) – 9:36
"The Devil Game" (Dave Hope, Walsh) – 5:04
"Closet Chronicles (Live)" (Livgren, Walsh) – 6:54

Deguello -- CD
ZZ Top
1979/1990 Warner Bros. Records
Amazon.com
First released in 1979, Deguello was three years in the making. Billy Gibbons, Dusty Hill, and Frank Beard had disappeared into the sagebrush to recharge their batteries following their grueling World Texas Tour. They returned with a new antic sense of themselves that first appeared in songs like "Cheap Sunglasses," "She Loves My Automobile," and "Esther Be the One" and came to fruition almost four years later with Eliminator. Deguello forges the last link to the band's early blues-rock years, before they became the sleeker, less threatening entity that graced MTV during the '80s. Tunes like their rendering of David Porter and Isaac Hayes's steamy "I Thank You," the salacious "Hi Fi Mama," and the boastful "I'm Bad, I'm Nationwide" careen on the edges of good taste, but these guys didn't give a *** who they offended as long as they entertained. And, of course, they did entertain legions of fans with their ribald lyrics, off-kilter timing, and Gibbons's daredevil guitar wizardry. But ZZ Top isn't all hard edges and pinup fantasies; the heartbreakingly beautiful intro to their eccentric love song, "Fool for Her Stockings" rivals the lyricism of Jimi Hendrix's "The Wind Cries Mary." --Jaan Uhelszki

This review is from: Mr Lucky (Audio CD)
When one of the most revered blues guitarists asks for help on his album, there is no shortage of great talent to show up. The likes of Santana, Ry Cooder, Albert Collins, Johnny Winter, John Hammond, and Robert Cray (to name just a few) come out in support of "Mr. Lucky", the follow up guest album to "The Healing". But, John Lee Hooker doesn't need all of this talent to put out a great blues album.
Robert Cray shows up on the title cut of this album providing some great leads to Hooker's rhythm. A tune that makes Hooker "... feel a little better". Albert Collins steps in for "Backstabbers" providing a powerful presence that only he was capable of. All you have to hear is one note of Collins to know it's him. "I Cover the Waterfront" is a haunting tune with Van Morrison taking over the guitar work and Booker T. Jones on organ. Morrison's voice complements the low-boom of Hooker's. Another highlight is Santana's work on "Stripped Me Naked".
Hooker's Delta Blues sound is hypnotizing, and his deep voice is lazy and sweet. There are very few that have shaped the sound of music, especially the blues, as he has. This album, a tribute of sorts, is a must for blues lovers. To hear so much talent gathered in one place playing with a legend like Hooker gives me the chills.
Except where otherwise noted, all songs composed by John Lee Hooker.
