Manassas -- 2 LP Set :text-bravo:

Stephen Stills

1972 Atlantic Records

Product Description

A sprawling masterpiece, akin to the Beatles' White Album, the Stones' Exile on Main St., or Wilco's Being There in its makeup, if not its sound. Rock, folk, blues, country, Latin, and bluegrass have all been styles touched on in Stephen Stills' career, and the skilled, energetic musicians he had gathered in Manassas played them all on this album. What could have been a disorganized mess in other hands, though, here all gelled together and formed a cohesive musical statement. The songs are thematically grouped: part one (side one on the original vinyl release) is titled 'The Raven,' and is a composite of rock and Latin sounds that the group would often perform in full live. 'The Wilderness' mainly centers on country and bluegrass (Chris Hillman's and Al Perkins' talents coming to the forefront), with the track 'So Begins the Task' later covered by Stills' old flame Judy Collins. Part three, 'Consider' is largely folk and folk-rock. 'Johnny's Garden,' reportedly for the caretaker at Stills' English manor house and not for John Lennon as is often thought, is a particular highlight. Two other notables from the 'Consider' section are 'It Doesn't Matter' (later redone with different lyrics by the song's uncredited co-writer Rick Roberts on the first Firefall album) and 'Move Around,' which features some of the first synthesizer used in a rock context. The closing section, titled 'Rock & Roll Is Here to Stay,' is a rock and blues set with one of the landmarks of Manassas' short life, the epic 'The Treasure.' A sort of Zen-like meditation on love and 'oneness,' enlivened by the band's most inspired recorded playing it evolves into a bluesy groove washed in Stills' fierce electric slide playing. The delineation lines of the four themed song groupings aren't cut in stone, though, and one of the strengths of the album is that there is a lot of overlap in styles throughout. The CD reissue's remastered sound is excellent, though missed is the foldout poster and handwritten lyrics from the original vinyl release. Unfortunately, the album has been somewhat overlooked over the years, even though Stills considers it some of the best work he has done. Bill Wyman (who guested on 'The Love Gangster') has said he would have quit the Rolling Stones to join Manassas.

"But seriously, Folks..." -- :handgestures-thumbup: :handgestures-thumbup:

Joe Walsh

1978 Asylum Records

"But Seriously, Folks..." is the fourth studio album by Joe Walsh, released in 1978 (see 1978 in music). It included the reggae-styled satirical song "Life's Been Good". The original 9-minute album version of this track was edited down to 4½ minutes for single release and this became Walsh's biggest solo hit, peaking at #12 on the Billboard chart.

The album also features the other four members of the Eagles -- which Walsh had joined by the time the album was released—as well as singer-guitarist Jay Ferguson, a former member of the group Spirit (who co-wrote one track on the album), drummer Joe Vitale from Walsh's former band Barnstorm, and renowned bassist Willie Weeks, who is well known for his association with singer Donny Hathaway.

2. "Second Hand Store" (Murphy, Walsh) – 3:35
3. "Indian Summer" – 3:03
4. "At the Station" (Joe Vitale, Walsh) – 5:08

Aaron Neville's Soulful Christmas -- CD :text-bravo: :text-bump: :text-bravo:

Aaron Neville

1993 A&M Records

Aaron Neville's Soulful Christmas is at once familiar yet progressive, traditional, prayerful, heartfelt, fun, and sexy. Neville lends his angelic voice to timeless holiday standards, resulting in one of the more compelling American holiday albums of the 1990s. Neville's treatment of classics such as "O Holy Night," "Silent Night," and "O Little Town of Bethlehem" is absolutely stirring, and he infuses these lullabies with so much warmth and sincerity that they can even touch the hardest, most cynical audiences. Neville also covers more contemporary tunes, such as "Please Come Home for Christmas," and augments his warm renditions of "The Christmas Song" and "White Christmas" with classic pop arrangements, filled with lush strings, piano, and even saxophone. The real gems, however, include the irresistibly swingin' "Such a Night," which should become mandatory for any Christmas party, and the equally intoxicating, hand clapping "Louisiana Christmas Day." The album ends on a spiritual tone with the tender "Star Carol" and the moving, organ-accompanied "The Bells of St. Mary's." Neville wholly succeeds in crafting a fun, Cajun-spiced yet traditional Christmas album, which manages to capture all of the joy, passion, spirituality ,and nostalgia which goes along with the holiday season. ~ Jose F. Promis, All Music Guide

The Christmas Jug Band

1987 Globe Records

Where, oh where's my Santa Claus suit?, December 9, 2004
By
Johnny Heering "trivia buff" (Bethel, CT United States) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Mistletoe Jam (Audio CD)

The Christmas Jug Band is an all-acoustic, tongue-in-cheek collaboration concerning itself with a high degree of holiday spirit and revelry. This is their first album, of four so far. It is a lot of fun. Most of the songs are performed with a sense of humor. Several of the songs are in fact rewritten versions of non-Christmas songs. "Somebody Stole My Santa Claus Suit" is one of my favorite Christmas songs. I would recommend this album to anyone who likes Christmas music that doesn't take itself too seriously.

1. Santa Clause Is Coming to Town
2. Rudolph the Bald-Headed Reindeer
3. Santa Claus Want Some Lovin'
4. Gee, Rudolph (Ain't I Good to You)
5. X-Mas Shopping Blues
6. I'm Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Christmas Card
7. 'Twas the Night Before Christmas
8. I Got Home Today for Christmas
9. O Holy Night
10. Somebody Stole My Santa Clause Suit
11. What Are You Doing New Year's Eve?

Midnight Special :text-bravo:

Jimmy Smith

1960 Blue Note Records 4078
Midnight Special is a perfect complement to Back at the Chicken Shack, which was recorded the same day. Organist Jimmy Smith, tenor saxophonist Stanley Turrentine, and guitarist Kenny Burrell always make for a potent team, and with drummer Donald Bailey completing the group, the quartet digs soulfully into such numbers as the groovin' "Midnight Special," "Jumpin' the Blues," and "One O'Clock Jump." Highly recommended.

A1 Midnight Special
A2 A Subtle One
B1 Jumpin' The Blues
B2 Why Was I Born
B3 One O'Clock Jump

Guitar - Kenny Burrell
Organ - Jimmy Smith
Saxophone - Stanley Turrentine

Indianola Mississippi Seeds

B.B. King

1970 ABC Records

Blues Boy!, April 25, 2010
By Noel A. Hodda (Sydney, Australia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Indianola Mississippi Seeds (Audio CD)

When I was about 16 (a long time ago) and living in a rural cultural backwater I hung out a lot in a short-lived 'alternative' shop run by a loose collective of laid back guys who didn't mind if you didn't buy anything - it was all 'cool' (it was 1970 after all). One afternoon after school I dropped by for my usual dose of reality and the most jaw-dropping LP was playing. I'd never heard anything like it - it was old sounding, but modern at the same time. I knew my blues then from the British players - Mayall, Clapton, Green et al - but this was something else, something cleaner and lighter but no less true. It was BB and this album. I went straight out and bought my own copy. I knew then that I just HAD to have it and if you've never heard it I reckon the same thing could happen to you, even all these years later. This album retains its freshness and originality. It still brings a smile and I must have heard it a few thousand times by now. None of this is surprising when you look at the depth of talent involved: Russ Kunkel; Joe Walsh; Bryan Garafolo, Carole King (yeah, I know!) and Leon Russell are the band; Jimmy Haskell serves up remarkably sympathetic string and horn arrangements and on the magnificent 'Hummingbird' we get the 'Angelic Chorus' - Sherlie Matthews, Merry Clayton, Clydie King and Venetta Fields. Class all the way. The magic is that it all works. The blues isn't lost in this potentially disastrous rock/pop meld. It all hangs together beautifully, glued into place by some of Mr. King's tastiest and most joyful playing allied to the keyboards of Ms. King and Mr. Russell, not to mention that tight, chugging rhythm section. What? You haven't bought it yet? What are you waiting for?

1 Nobody Loves Me But My Mother 1:26
2 You're Still My Woman 6:04
3 Ask Me No Questions 3:08
4 Until I'm Dead And Cold 4:45
5 King's Special 5:10

Christmas Album -- :text-bravo:

Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass

1968 A&M Records

A collection of familiar Christmas songs, pulled out of Santa's sack and thankfully rejuvenated! There are new TJB twists on everything on this album--"Jingle Bells", "Winter Wonderland", "My Favorite Things"...you name it. Its refreshing look at holiday music is what makes it special, and it's been a family favorite of ours since it was released back in the late 60's. The strings and vocals were arranged by jazz "giant" Shorty Rogers. If you're tired of the same old Christmas music, give this album a spin! This one is a perennial favorite of many music lovers, not just Tijuana Brass fans.

1. Winter Wonderland {D. Smith/F. Bernard} [3]
2. Jingle Bells {Arr. Alpert/Pisano} [3]
3. My Favorite Things {Rodgers/Hammerstein} [3]
4. The Christmas Song {M. Torme/R. Wells} [4]
5. Las Mananitas {Arr. Julius Wechter} [2]
6. Sleigh Ride {L. Anderson/M. Parish} [3]
7. The Bell That Couldn't Jingle {Bacharach/L. Kusik} [2]
8. Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow {S. Cahn/J. Stein} [3]

Tusk -- 2 LP Set

Fleetwood Mac

1979 Warner Bros. Records

Amazon.com essential recording

A liner portrait of the big Mac, then coming off the commercial bonanza of Rumours, shows them looking anxiously at guitarist, singer, songwriter, and de facto auteur Lindsey Buckingham, a moment given weight by the sprawling ambitions behind this 1979 double album. Buckingham's superb sense of pop craft had catapulted the once blues-based rockers into multiplatinum ubiquity, and he responded not with a safe return to form but with an invitation for his songwriting partners to chase their respective muses. Comparisons to the Beatles' White Album abounded and remain apt: Stevie Nicks twirls dreamily through extended variations on her crystal visions, Christine McVie turns in a reliably fine set of sunny pop-rock cruisers and tender ballads, and Mick Fleetwood and John McVie sustain their reputation as one of rock's most powerful yet deft rhythm sections. Buckingham provides the wild cards, in largely self-recorded plunges into his own skittish psyche, culminating in the massive title song, beefed up by the University of Southern California's marching band, but more cannily in dreamy music-box exercises ("That's All for Everyone") and sudden bursts of gonzo, fuzz-toned rock ("That's Enough for Me"). Better than its detractors thought upon release, Tusk was a brave platinum "failure" that actually charts where subsequent Mac and Buckingham projects would go. --Sam Sutherland

Jimmy & Wes - The Dynamic Duo -- :text-bravo:

Jimmy Smith & Wes Montgomery

1966 Verve Records

1966 Verve Records Creed Taylor matched two of his most famous artists, Wes Montgomery and Jimmy Smith, on this session (Montgomery's last for Verve), and the results are incendiary -- a near-ideal meeting of yin and yang. Smith comes at your throat with his big attacks and blues runs while Montgomery responds with rounder, smoother octaves and single notes that still convey much heat. They are an amazing pair, complementing each other, driving each other, using their bop and blues taproots to fuse together a sound. The romping, aggressive big band charts -- Oliver Nelson at his best -- on "Down by the Riverside" and "Night Train," and the pungently haunting chart for Gary McFarland's "13" (Death March)" still leave plenty of room for the soloists to stretch out. "James and Wes" and "Baby, It's Cold Outside" include drummer Grady Tate and conguero Ray Barretto, with Smith's own feet working the organ pedals.

# Down by the Riverside (Traditional) - 10:02
# Night Train (Jimmy Forrest, Lewis Simpkins, Oscar Washington) - 6:48
# James and Wes (Jimmy Smith) - 8:13

The Trio - Live From Chicago :text-bravo:

Oscar Peterson - Ray Brown - Ed Thigpen

1961 Verve Records

5.0 out of 5 stars Live jazz at its pinnacle, August 1, 2008
By
Mike Pawlows - See all my reviews
This review is from: Trio Live in Chicago (Audio CD)

Jazz is one of those genres that thrives on live recordings. Some of the most exciting music in the relatively brief history of jazz has been recorded in concert.

This album stands among the absolute best live jazz ever captured on a soundboard. Oscar was in his prime during the early 60's, a virtuoso who could go from brutally fast swing to gentle, melancholy blues at the drop of a hat. His mastery of dynamics is very much evident on this album.

Peterson was lucky to be backed by Ray Brown on bass and Ed Thigpen on drums. I mean, could someone ask for a better pair to round out a trio? Having this much talent on one stage is a treat for the ears.

The rendition of "Chicago" on this album is THE best interpretation of the song I've ever heard. It progresses from the classic melody to a break-neck swing session, all in a 9 minute span. If you ever buy a disc for just one song, buy "The Trio" for "Chicago."

This should be on the shelf of any serious fan of Oscar Peterson. Actually, all jazz fans should own this album. It's bliss.
