Gotta love Roger McGuinn and his big 12 string Rickenbacker
Back from Rio is the sixth studio album by American singer-songwriter, guitarist and co-founder of The Byrds Roger McGuinn. It was released in January 1991, more than a decade after McGuinn's previous solo album, Thunderbyrd.[4] The album was issued following the release of the The Byrds box set and musically it leans on the sound of The Byrds thanks to McGuinn's ringing 12-string electric guitar and vocal contributions from ex-Byrds members David Crosby and Chris Hillman. Also prominent on the album are Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, with Petty co-authoring and duetting with McGuinn on the album's lead single "King Of The Hill". In addition, several members of the Heartbreakers provide musical backing on a number of the album's tracks. Other prominent songwriters on the album—besides McGuinn and his wife Camilla—are Elvis Costello, Jules Shear and Dave Stewart of the Eurythmics.

...Nothing Like The Sun -- CD
Sting
1987 A&M Records
Sting's best,
January 30, 2011
By Eugene Axe
This review is from: Nothing Like the Sun (Audio CD)
I believe that "...Nothing Like the Sun" is the pinnacle of Sting's solo career. Back when I was in college, this was one of my top 5 albums. Not a bad song on here. I find that even after 20+ years this album still sounds fresh and undated. Sting's fusion of jazz, rock, and pop here is distinctive. Not that this is an upbeat album by any means, but after this record his music turned a little bit too droning and brooding for my liking.
The classic songs "Fragile" and "We'll Be Together", stand out (of course), as do "Sister Moon" and "History will Teach Us Nothing". If I had to pick a favorite song, it would be his cover of Hendrix's "Little Wing". But like I say above, there isn't a bad song on here. You can't go wrong with this album...
All songs by Sting except as noted.
Side one
"The Lazarus Heart" – 4:34
"Be Still My Beating Heart" – 5:32
"Englishman in New York" – 4:25
Side two
"History Will Teach Us Nothing" – 4:58
"They Dance Alone" – 7:16
"Fragile" – 3:54
Side three
"We'll Be Together" – 4:52
"Straight to My Heart" – 3:54
"Rock Steady" – 4:27
Side four
"Sister Moon" – 3:46
"Little Wing" (Jimi Hendrix) – 5:04
"The Secret Marriage" (Eisler, Sting) – 2:03

G.I. JUKEBOX -- Remastered 5 CD Set

Special music from WWII May 23, 2011
By Ian Muldoon
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
For those of you who grew up listening to this music, then this collection is pretty darn special - to use the language appropriate for the time. It's special because these records are not the commercial releases of the day, but the transcriptions from radio broadcasts, etc, which have been remastered to a decent fidelity consistent with the original sound -which is to say it's not "muddy". My other fear was that it would have unnecessary crowd noises much as the Andrew Sisters Chesterfield Broadcasts have, but no, these are mainly absent too. In short, justice is done to this wonderful music including such gems as To Each his Own by Eddy Howard; Rockin Chair by Alvino Ray; Jersey Bounce by Ozzie Nelson; Now is the Hour by Horace Heidi and dozens more. Much pleasure in this delightful issue.

Dionne Warwick Sings Cole Porter -- CD
1990 Arista Records
Amazon.com
Recorded in 1990, the same year various pop stars came out in recognition of Cole Porter and AIDS awareness with Red, Hot + Blue, Dionne Warwick's Porter album collects 13 favorites. It's hard to go wrong with this singer or this songwriter, but the production is pretty middle of the road, neither strikingly good nor shockingly bad. She's backed by a large orchestra, except in the reprise of "Night and Day," in which Stanley Jordan and the late Grover Washington Jr. add a smooth-jazz groove. No, Dionne's not exactly Ella here, but then she's not trying to be. --David Horiuchi
1. Night and Day

3. I Get a Kick Out of You
4. What Is This Thing Called Love? [So in Love Medley]

12. Just One of Those Things
13. Night and Day [Jazz Version]
Currently listening to the soundtrack to "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" loved this album back in high school and haven't heard it in 25 years. Then while browsing iTunes saw they had the album on sale and I recalled I still own the CD but my CD won't play on any CD player I own but does work on my computer. So had the album uploaded to the cloud and am now remembering how great this album is while browsing this forum. Lot of great 80's bands from Stevie Nicks, Jimmy Buffet, Don Henley and Oingo Boingo.

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
