Booker Ervin - Exultation! (1963)

Booker Ervin - Exultation! (1963)

Booker Ervin - Exultation! (1963)
MP3 ~ 320kbps ~ Covers + Scans ~ RS.com ~ 103mb ~ 5% File Recovery
Genre: Jazz

Allmusic.com:
Booker Ervin's debut for Prestige (which has been reissued on CD with two shorter alternate takes added) matches the intense tenor with altoist Frank Strozier, pianist Horace Parlan, bassist Butch Warren and drummer Walter Perkins for some bop-based music that is actually quite adventurous. Highlights include "Mour" (based on "Four"), "Black and Blue" and Ervin's "Mooche Mooche." Ervin and Strozier made a mutually inspiring team; pity that this was their only recording together.

Amazon.com reviewer:
Booker Ervin made an amazing string of albums for Prestige from 1963-65, equal to anything in the Blue Note catalog from that golden period, and "Exultation" is no exception. On this album Booker is joined by Frank Strozier on alto sax, Walter Perkins on drums, and two Blue Note regulars, Butch Warren on bass and Horace Parlan on piano. (Ervin joined the latter two on Parlan's "Happy Frame of Mind, which is out of print domestically but still available as an import -- see my review.) The album's standout tunes in my opinion are "Mooche Mooche," and the soulful, groovin' "No Land's Man." The CD also features the "short take" single versions of "Just In Time" and "No Land's Man" as bonus tracks. While this is a terrific outing, I am only giving it four stars because "Exultation" falls short compared to his five-star efforts -- "The Blues Book," "The Song Book," and "The Space Book". However, fans of the aforementioned five-star discs will thoroughly enjoy "Exultation."

Personnel:
Booker Ervin (tenor saxophone);
Frank Strozier (alto saxophone);
Horace Parlan (piano);
Butch Warren (bass);
Walter Perkins (drums)

Recorded at the Van Gelder Studio, Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey on June 19, 1963

Tracks:
1. Mooche Mooche (7:18)
2. Black and Blue (6:19)
3. Tune In (8:32)
4. Just in Time (Short Take) (2:29)
5. Just in Time (Long Take) (4:55)

Booker Ervin - Groovin' High (1964)

Booker Ervin - Groovin' High (1964)

Booker Ervin - Groovin' High (1964)
MP3 ~ 320kbps ~ Cover Scans ~ RS.com ~ 77mb ~ 5% File Recovery
Genre: Jazz

Allmusic.com:
This CD reissue has four selections from the same sessions (but not released on the original sets) that resulted in The Freedom Book, The Blues Book and The Space Book. "Groovin' High" features the intense tenor of Booker Ervin playing comparatively lighthearted bebop in a quintet with trumpeter Carmell Jones, pianist Gildo Mahones, bassist Richard Davis and drummer Alan Dawson. The other numbers ("The Second #2," "Bass-IX" and a brief "Stella By Starlight") match Ervin with the unbeatable trio of pianist Jaki Byard, Davis and Dawson. Although these performances are not quite classic, Booker Ervin fans will want this CD to round out their collection, for Ervin was at the peak of his powers during this era.

Dustygroove.com:
Booker Ervin's definitely grooving high here -- hitting some of the same soulful notes as on his classic Blues Book album, but also bringing in some more modernist moments too! The set features one track that's clearly a Blues Book number -- a take on "Groovin High" with Carmell Jones on trumpet and Gildo Mahones on piano -- but the rest of the album features a quartet that really lets Ervin dominate the proceedings on tenor -- blowing hard with that mix of deep roots and sharper edges he brought to his amazing work with Charles Mingus! Jaki Byard's on piano on these other tracks -- giving a nice sense of urgency to the set, as well as a similar range of jazz traditions in his sound -- and other players include Richard Davis on bass and Alan Dawson on drums -- both nicely loose one minute, then tight as a drum the next. Titles include "Stella By Starlight", "The Second #2", "Bass- Ix", and "Groovin' High".

Personnel:
Booker Ervin (tenor saxophone);
Carmell Jones (trumpet);
Jaki Byard, Gildo Mahones (piano);
Richard Davis (bass);
Alan Dawson (drums)

Recorded at the Van Gelder Studio, Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey on June 30, 1964.

Tracks:
1 The Second #2 (Ervin) 6:33
2 Groovin' High (Gillespie) 9:50
3 Bass-LX (Ervin) 11:41
4 Stella by Starlight (Washington, Young) 2:50

Have I Offended Someone?


Have I Offended Someone?
Frank Zappa
Amazon.com:
Although Zappa did not provide notes with the Offended? master tape, this compilation could be considered his idea of a "Best Of," and indeed, this collection features many of the tunes that first attracted legions of fans to his music. The aforementioned "Valley Girl," with vocals by daughter Moon Unit, was Zappa?s highest charting US single ever, reaching #32 in Billboard and earned Grammy nominations for Moon and FZ (his second), while the accompanying album, 1982?s Ship Arriving Too Late To Save A Drowning Witch, reached #23. But despite the commercial acclaim of the single and album, Zappa?s ironic sensibilities were lost on the public and the media. Said Zappa in an interview with Josef Woodard, "The worst thing about that record is the fact that nobody really listened to it... The whole coverage of the song barely mentioned what the song was really saying, that these people are really airheads." Nevertheless, the song?s success triggered a movement of sorts, with "Valley Girl" T-shirts, lunch boxes, cosmetics, and offers for a TV series and a film (eventually made without Zappa?s participation). A few years earlier, Zappa?s 1979 album Sheik Yerbouti (which spawned the US hit "Dancin? Fool," a depiction of the male of the species in a disco frenzy) also contained two of his most razor-sharp and funny portrayals, "Jewish Princess" and "Bobby Brown Goes Down," both of which are included on Have I Offended Someone? Both songs sparked controversy. "Jewish Princess" brought a protest from the Anti-Defamation League of B?nai B?rith, who asked the FCC to ban it from radio airplay. Zappa said the song was satire, threatened to sue, and refused to apologize. He?s quoted in The Real Frank Zappa Book as saying, "...unlike The Unicorn, such creatures do exist?and deserve to be commemorated with their own special opus." "Bobby Brown Goes Down" is perhaps the oddest of Zappa?s successes. This colorful tale of a young man's encounter with a dyke named Freddie" would never get airplay in the US, but it reached the top ofthe charts in Norway and Austria, was Top Ten in Germany and remains a favorite in territories where English is not the primary language. Said Zappa to Matt Groening in a 1992 Guitar World interview, "I don?t think anything has outsold Sheik Yerbouti, partly because "Bobby Brown" keeps becoming a hit every ten years... I think it was back on the charts again in Norway. For no apparent reason, it was back." Have I Offended Someone? also contains two previously unreleased live versions of popular tunes: "Tinsel Town Rebellion," Zappa?s picture of music business execs and musicians joined in an insincere tango in Hollywood ("Did you know that in Tinsel Town the people there think substance is a bore/But if your New Wave group looks good they?ll hurry on back for more... But then again this system works as perfect as a dream/It works for all those record company pricks who come to skim the cream") and "Dumb All Over," Zappa?s scathing rap on televangelists, and one of the most remarkable performances included here.But Have I Offended Someone? is more than great music and humorous lyrics; this collection illuminates Frank Zappa?s fearlessness in dealing with "sensitive" subjects and underscores his courage in refusing to back down for fear of media, corporate, political or religious censorship or disapproval. His year-long campaign in the mid-80s fighting the PMRC and album rating stickers is well documented, particularly in the "Porn Wars" chapter of The Real Frank Zappa Book. His dedication to the cause of artistic liberty is examplified by his testimony before the Maryland State Legislature, which opened with these words: "It is my personal feeling that lyrics cannot harm anyone. There is no sound that you can make with your mouth, or word that will come out of your mouth, that is so powerful that it will make you go to hell."As Ed Sanders? liner notes for Offended? point out, "It is clear from my decades with the Fugs that there are oodles of humans out there who thirst for the lascivious chants of Have I Offended Someone?... I also know there will be oodles who will listen askance at this gathering of the Zappa legacy." The selections included here are bound to provoke negative reactions from many quarters?potentially offended parties being women, men, gays, jews, catholics, musicians, music business executives, the religious right and the French. It should be noted, however, that Zappa steadfastly defended freedom of speech for 30 years, persistently writing songs about sensitive (but truthful) issues, even in the face of attack and criticism ("rock" and otherwise).Oh yes, about "rock criticism." Zappa never shied away from saying what he really thought about rock critics. His most famous quote on the subject is included in the chapter entitled "Sticks & Stones" in The Real Frank Zappa Book; "Definition of rock journalism: People who can?t write, doing interviews with people who can?t think, in order to prepare articles for people who can?t read."

Dexter Gordon - More Than You Know (1975)

Dexter Gordon - More Than You Know (1975)

Dexter Gordon - More Than You Know (1975)
MP3 @320kbps - Covers - 137mb - Genre: Jazz

Allmusic.com:
Dexter Gordon's SteepleChase recordings of the early- to mid-'70s are among the most rewarding of his career. This particular session (which finds Gordon backed by a string orchestra arranged by Palle Mikkelborg) is one of the lesser items from this fertile period. Dexter is in memorable form on "Naima" and "More than You Know" but the backup orchestra has little interplay with Gordon and the lush charts offer few surprises. This set does not quite live up to its potential although Dexter Gordon fans will still find moments to enjoy.


Personnel: Dexter Gordon (vocals, tenor and soprano saxophone), Palle Mikkelborg (trumpet, arranger, conductor), Allan Botschinsky, Benny Rosenfeld, Idrees Sulieman (trumpet, flugelhorn), Vincent Nilsson, Richard Boone (trombone), Axel Windfeld (bass trombone), Preben Garnov (french horn), Bent Larson (flute), Erwin Jocobsen (oboe, english horn), Luba Boschenko (harp), Per Walther, Mogens Holm Larsen, Age Knudsen (violin), Bjarne Boie Rasmussen (viola), Erling Christensen (cello), Thomas Clausen (piano), Kenneth Knudsen (synthesizer), Ole Molin (guitar), Niels-Henning Orsted Pedersen (bass), Ed Thigpen, Alex Riel (drums) Klaus Nordsoe (congas, percussion).

Recorded in Copenhagen on February 21-23, and March 27, 1975. Originally released on Steeplechase (1030).

Tracks:
1. Naima
2. Good Morning Sun
3. Girl With the Purple Eyes

Christina Aguilera:

One of the most accomplished performers of the last decade, Christina Aguilera has sold well over 25 million albums worldwide and cultivated a fan base that crosses generational, racial and gender lines. Now, segueing from the audacious sexuality of her second studio album, Stripped, the chameleon-like performer pays tribute to the music that has inspired her with her third studio album Back To Basics (RCA Records).Back To Basics has made Aguilera the biggest-seller in the SoundScan era for a female artist, passing Streisand's 2-CD "The Concert" release in '94. Her debut single, "Ain't No Other Man," off her double platinum album, was a huge success, along with her second single "Hurt," while her third single "Candyman" continues to climb the charts.Aguilera has garnered rave reviews for her current 41-city North American tour. The tour kicked off in Houston, Texas and has stopped in Los Angeles, Boston, Phoenix, Vancouver, Las Vegas and New York among others. The "Back to Basics" 2007 North American Tour features a unique stage design that allows Christina's fans unprecedented access to the stage with unbelievable sight lines as well as three distinct stage scenes, illuminated by more than 600 moving lights, and a state-of-the-art hydraulic system. Aguilera has assembled an acclaimed production team for her concert tour featuring choreographer and director, Jamie King (Madonna, Janet Jackson, Prince) and Roberto Cavalli, who is the tour's exclusive costume designer. Working together, the team created a modern inventive vision fused with elements of retro glamour.Aguilera's backstory is well-known. A native of Staten Island, the pre-teen began performing in local talent shows while growing up in Pennsylvania. In 1992, after appearing on "Star Search." She joined the cast of the Disney Channel's "The New Mickey Mouse Club." In 1998 Aguilera's song "Reflection" for Disney's Mulan led to a record deal with RCA and the release of her self-titled debut album in Summer, 1999. The album quickly hit #1 on the strength of its first dance/pop single, "Genie In A Bottle" (which dominated the charts for five weeks) and other chart toppers including "What A Girl Wants." It was a feat she would repeat the following year with Mi Reflejo, the smash Spanish-language version of her debut, followed by her hit holiday release, My Kind Of Christmas.In 2001 Aguilera joined forces with Pink, Mya and Lil' Kim on the smash "Lady Marmalade" single and video. That eye-popping slice of ear candy kept her front and center in the international spotlight even as she began, slowly and steadily, to lay the groundwork for her second album, Stripped. Released in October 2002, it sealed her status as an international superstar while transforming her previous squeaky-clean image into a fully sexualized woman with lots on her mind. Along with the superheated funk of the album's provocative debut single, "Dirrty," came such standout tracks as "Beautiful," "Can't Hold Us Down" and "Make Over."Earning her first of four Grammy Awards in 2000 for Best New Artist, her subsequent trophies came in 2001 for "Lady Marmalade" (Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals), in 2003 for "Beautiful" (Best Female Pop Vocal Performance) and in 2007 for "Ain't No Other Man (Best Female Pop Vocal Performance), winning a Grammy for each of her albums. Among countless other honors, she is also the recipient of a 2001 Latin Grammy Award for Mi Reflejo (Best Female Pop Vocal Album), a 2000 Billboard Music Award for Female Artist of the Year, and two 2004 Rolling Stone Music Awards (Best Female Performer, Readers' Pick; and Best Tour, Readers' Pick, "Justified and Stripped"). Voted Sexiest Teen Idol in a VH1 poll, Aguilera's beauty and charisma have also led Teen People to list her among its "25 Hottest Stars Under 25" and Maxim to crown her Best International Female Singer (2000), one of the Sexiest Women of the Year (2003) and #1 on their "Hot 100" List (2003). Aguilera has also been honored with two NRJ Awards (Best International Female, Best International Album) as well as a 2007 MTV Europe Award (Best Female Artist).Today, while devoting the lion's share of her time to recording and touring, the 26-year-old is active in a range of philanthropy. A major contributor to the fight against AIDS, Aguilera has participated in the "What's Going On?" cover project for AIDS Project Los Angeles' Artists Against AIDS. In 2004 she became the new face for MAC cosmetic company and spokesperson for the MAC AIDS Fund. More recently she became involved in awareness campaigns with Youth AIDS and ALDO. She also sponsors and is actively involved in the Women's Center and Shelter of Greater Pittsburgh for battered women and children.

Chet Baker - Chet Baker And Crew (1956)

Chet Baker - Chet Baker And Crew (1956)

Chet Baker - Chet Baker And Crew (1956)
MP3 ~ 320kbps ~ Covers + Scans ~ RS.com ~ 155mb ~ 5% File Recovery
Genre: Jazz

Allmusic.com:
The numbers heard on Chet Baker & Crew were among a prolific flurry of recordings Baker was involved in during the last week of July 1956 ? fresh from an extended European stay. Sessions were held every day from the 23rd through the 31st, which resulted in such classic titles as The Route, Chet Baker Sings, and Chet Baker Quintet at the Forum ? which is also available under the title Young Chet ? as well as Chet Baker & Crew. The crew on these sides includes Phil Urso (tenor sax), Bobby Timmons (piano), Jimmy Bond (bass), Peter Littman (drums), and of course Baker (trumpet/vocals). Joining the combo on both the original as well as the alternate take of "To Mickey's Memory" and "Pawnee Junction" is Bill Loughbrough (chromatic tympani). His unmistakable percussive accents and tuned drum solos give these West Coast bop tracks uniquely Polynesian intonations. The band members take full advantage of their individual roles and abilities as soloists to really stretch out on "Slightly Above Moderate" and the Urso-credited composition "Halema" ? named after Baker's wife. The chemistry of cool that flows between Urso and Baker is perhaps at its finest during the seamless exchange heard on "Worryin' the Life Out of Me." Timmons also boasts notable contributions throughout. His playful and scampering style dresses up the bluesy "Lucius Lu" and "Line for Lyons," among others. The latter is also notable as it contains the sole Baker vocal on this set. Baker enthusiasts seeking companion tracks featuring the same lineup should likewise obtain the 1995 CD release Young Chet. Among the contents is the frenetic rendering of "Night on Bop Mountain." [The 1993 CD reissue of Chet Baker & Crew increases the original eight-song Pacific Jazz collection to include all 14 tracks completed during three sessions in late July 1956 at the Forum Theater in Los Angeles.]

Cduniverse.com:
This astounding live set was recorded with Chet Baker's regularly touring ensemble at the Forum Theater in Los Angeles in 1956, after the trumpeter's return from an extensive European tour. The group is incredibly in sync and agile on the many intricate arrangements. Of special note is the presence of percussionist Bill Loughbrough who contributes three performances on his unusual chromatic tympani, or "boobams," which are his own invention.

Baker is self-assured and in excellent form here, blowing many fine solos in his classic "cool" style. Tenor man Phil Urso and pianist Bobby Timmons are in equally good form, supporting Baker with flawless precision and taste. Baker's only vocal performance comes on the Gerry Mulligan original "Line For Lyons." Other notable cuts include Mulligan's "Revelation," the Latin-esque "To Mickey's Memory," and Al Cohn's swinging "Music to Dance By." Taken as a whole, this set is a nice snapshot of Baker in performance at the peak of his early popularity.

Personnel:
Chet Baker (trumpet)
Phil Urso (tenor sax)
Bobby Timmons (piano)
Jimmy Bond (bass)
Peter Littman (drums)
Bill Loughbrough (timpani)

Recorded at the Forum Theater, Los Angeles, California on July 24, 25 & 31, 1956. Includes original liner notes by Woody Woodward. Remastered.

Leona Lewis ? Spirit (2007)


Leona Lewis ? Spirit (2007) (Repost)
R&B, Pop | 192 kbps mp3 | 79.9 mb

?..Spirit is just the sound of a generic diva.?

Leona Lewis MySpace

Leona Lewis Web Site

Leona Lewis on Wikipedia

Watch ?Bleeding Love? Video

Review:
(by Lyndsey Winship-02 November 2007)
When Leona Lewis slipped from the spotlight after last year's Christmas Number One, there were whispers that maybe she didn't have the x-factor after all. But in reality, Leona was one of the few people to come out of a TV talent show worth investing some time and money in. Not for her a rush-released covers album; instead it was off to the States to work with a host of big name producers like Dallas Austin and Jam and Lewis.
It's almost a shame all that effort went into crafting a bland pop album strong on mid-tempo balladry and spiralling vocal gyrations, but short on hooks, innovation and personality.
With sights firmly set on the lucrative American market, single ?Bleeding Love? is an 80s throwback that even Mariah wouldn't record these days. And the attempts at skittering r'n'b beats on tracks like "The Best You Never Had" and the Ne-Yo- produced "I'm You" are also fairly middle-of-the-road.
Elsewhere, "Take a Bow" is a slice of synthy melodrama, "Whatever it Takes" has singalong potential and big ballad "Footprints in the Sand" is a piano warbler that brings Leona's voice to the forefront. It's an amazing voice, no doubt, but if it wasn't for those elastic vocal cords, this could be anyone.
Only on the Leona co-written "Here I Am" do we get a glimpse of the Hackney girl herself, thrown into the pop machine: "This is a crazy world/These can be lonely days.../Who can you really trust" she asks. Otherwise, Spirit is just the sound of a generic diva.

Amazon.co.uk Review:
Leona Louise Lewis is something of an anomaly. Not only is she pretty and endowed with a wonderfully elastic (four-octave) vocal range--she?s also a committed vegetarian and one of the few X Factor/TV talent show winners not to immediately try to capitalise on her success with an album of weak covers. Instead, her mentor Simon Cowell (and team) have coaxed Lewis into the studio with some of America?s biggest talents--Dallas Austin, Jam & Lewis--and come up with an album of weak originals. You couldn?t exactly call "Spirit" a bad album. It carries memorable melodies, some classic song-writing and, of course, Lewis? seriously potent voice (she?s been compared to Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey already). But what the album lacks is personality. Songs like "Bleeding Love" (produced by Ryan Tedder and Jesse McCartney) are technically flawless, but you?re left thinking ?is this all the sass and sparkle a bonafide Hackney gal can muster?? "The Best You Never Had", the Ne-Yo produced "I'm You" and many other songs here follow this play-it-safe formula, while the album?s ballads--"Footprints in the Sand", for example--are so bland even Whitney and Mariah would wince. Still, there?s no doubt Lewis is a real talent. Perhaps if she ditches the overpaid ?superstar? producers next time and makes the album she wants to make, we might finally hear some of her real ?spirit?. --Danny McKenna

Description:
2006 X-Factor winner Leona Lewis's long-awaited debut LP 'Spirit' comes nearly a year after her first single, 'A MomentLike This'. Preceded by 'Bleeding Love', this release sees Lewis collaborating with a wealth of different producers andwriters (as well as the ubiquitous Simon Cowell as executive producer) including Damon Dash and Ne-Yo. The sound rangesfrom slick R&B pop to power ballads, finding room as well for a delicate version of Ewan Macoll's 'The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face'. Lewis herself was heavily involved in the writing process, sharing credits on several of the songs on 'Spirit'.

Tracks:
1 Bleeding Love
2 Whatever It Takes
3 Homeless
4 Better in Time
5 Yesterday
6 Take a Bow
7 I Will Be
8 Angel
9 Here I Am
10 I'm You

No pretty boys are in this line up and their music is raw and very unpolished just like the band's look. Pain was the last Rose Tattoo album to feature Pete Well's before his death.

RAY CHARLES AND FRIENDS - SUPER HITS


RAY CHARLES AND FRIENDS - SUPER HITS

Amazon.com:
Most of the albums in the Super hits series of albums are greatest hits collections, but this is a straight re-issue of Ray's 1984 album of duets with country singers, originally titled Friendship. It was originally released on vinyl, then later on CD with the same artwork. That version of the CD was replaced by this album, but the title Super hits is very confusing. (More recently, the album has been re-issued again, this time with the original artwork and title but re-mastered and with two bonus tracks.)

It is fitting that Ray should have recorded this album - after all, he recorded R+B versions of country songs back in the sixties and took them high in the pop charts including I can't stop loving you, a number one in Britain and America. Those records didn't sound country, but twenty years later, here is Ray singing country and having a great time doing it.

The big hit here (a country number one) is Seven Spanish angels, the duet with Willie Nelson that closes the album. I love all the songs but I particularly like Who cares (with Janie Fricke, the only female singer featured), Two old cats like us (with Hank Williams Junior) and We didn't see a thing (with George Jones and Chet Atkins). Other guests include Johnny Cash, B J Thomas, Ricky Skaggs, Merle Haggard and the Oak ridge boys.

This is an upbeat country album that shows just how talented Ray Charles was - one of the few singers equally brilliant in several different genres of music.

Tracks:

01 - TWO OLD CATS LIKE US - RAY CHARLES / HANK WILLIAMS.JR
02 - THIS OLD HEART (IS GONNA RISE AGAIN) - RAY CHARLES / THE OAK RIDGE BOYS
03 - WE DIDN'T SEE A THING - RAY CHARLES / GEORGE JONES / CHET ATKINS
04 - WHO CARES - RAY CHARLES / JANIE FRICKIE
05 - ROCK & ROLL SHOES - RAY CHARLES / B.J.THOMAS
06 - FRIENDSHIP - RAY CHARLES / RICKY SKAGGS
07 - IT AN'T GONNA WORRY MY MIND - RAY CHARLES / RICHARD LEIGH
08 - LITTLE HOTEL ROOM - RAY CHARLES / MERLE HAGGARD
09 - CRAZY OLD SOLDIER - RAY CHARLES / JOHNNY CASH
10 - SEVEN SPANISH ANGELS - RAY CHARLES / WILLIE NELSON

MICHAEL BOLTON - Greatest Hits 1985-1995


MICHAEL BOLTON - Greatest Hits 1985-1995

cduniverse.com
Personnel includes: Michael Bolton (vocals); Dann Huff (guitar); Tommy Sims (guitar, keyboards, bass, programming); Jan Mullaney (keyboards); Walter Afanasieff (keyboards, Hammond B-3 organ, synthesizer, programming); Chris McHugh (drums); Danny Duncan, Gary Cirimelli (programming); Robert John "Mutt" Lange, Brenda Braxton, Victor Trent Cook, Pattie Darcy Jones, Larry Batista, Portia Griffin, Pat Hawk, Vann Johnson, Janis Liebhart, Claytoven Richardson, Philip Ingram, Jim Gilstrap, Rose Stone, Alex Brown, Bob Carlyle, Kim Fleming, Vicki Hampton, Angelo Petrucci, Veronica Petrucci, Chris Rodriguez, Micah Wilshire, Lisa Befill, Michael Black, Lisa Cochran, Tabitha Fair, Chris Harris, Robert White Johnson, Lisa Keith, Kim Keyes, Robin Johnson, Michael Mellett, Cindy Morgan, Nicol Smith (background vocals).

Producers include: Keith Diamond, Johnathan Cain, Peter Bunetta, Rick Chundacoff, Michael Omartian.

Engineers include: Jan Mullaney, Steve Milo, Dana Jon Chappelle.

Recorded at Passion Studios, Connecticut; Wally World, California; The Record Plant, Hollywood, California; The Dugout, Nashville, Tennessee; Cherokee Studios, Los Angeles, California.

Michael Bolton possesses numerous attributes inherent to a great recording artist--a grandiose voice able to be at once overwhelming and gentle, the vision to convey powerful emotional details with simple vocal inflections, the ability to set his songs in precise musical colors. But what is probably his most overlooked quality is also his greatest strength: The man is a tunesmith non-pareil. Not only is he a powerful songwriter in his own right (having written for everyone from Barbra Streisand to Kiss), but his knowledge and choice of cover songs borders on the omniscient. And they all become hits--the proof is on GREATEST HITS 1985-1995.

It was Bolton's renditions of soul classics that first gained him an audience. Zelma Redding, widow of the legendary Otis Redding, called Bolton's chart-topping take on "(Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay" her "all-time favorite version," and his interpretation of "Georgia On My Mind" personifies the timeless elegance of modern pop. Yet his own compositions shine just as brightly: "Soul Provider" glides with a smoky, saloon feel, "How Can We Be Lovers" deftly communicates the complexities of relationships, and "Steel Bars" (co-written with Bob Dylan) moves with classic Bryan Adams-ish abandon.

GREATEST HITS also shows off Bolton's knack for nurturing hits out of current songwriters, and finding nuggets ripe for renewing. Among the latter is the remake of Roy Orbison and Jeff Lynne's "A Love So Beautiful," a sweeping ballad on which Bolton pays homage to Orbison's unique tenor. Among the former are "When I'm Back On My Feet Again," "Time, Love And Tenderness" and "The River"--all by Diane Warren, all modern-day epics of the heart that place the fleeting, indescribable moments of love (and love lost) into exquisitely poetic pop statements.

Tracks:

(Sittin on) The dock of the bay (bysevretly)
A love so beautiful
can't touch there
Georgia in my mind
How am I supposed to live without you
How can we be lovers
I found someone
I promise you
Missing you now
Said I love you but I lied
Soul provider
Steel bars
That's what love is all about
This river
Time, love and tenderness
When a man loves a woman
When I'm back on my feet again

Anthony Gomes - Live (2008)


Anthony Gomes "Live"
MP3 | CBR 320 Kbps 48000 Stereo | 59.16 | 149.56Mb
2008 | Genre: Blues | Rock | Pop | Songwriter

For some musicians, it all comes down to what happens on stage. Anthony Gomes burns with blazing vocals and incendiary guitar work throughout his new CD, 'Live' to be released February 19th, the first full-length concert release from a man who plays as many as 250 dates annually in North America and Europe.

Mining blues-rock, soul and gritty R&B styling for the past decade, Live is a summation of where Anthony?s been and also offers a glimpse of where he might be heading, too. The album finds him immersed in his element ? performing for an audience and making a connection. Certainly, Anthony enjoys the craft of the studio, but that passion and power truly rises to its greatest heights during his live performances.

?Some of my favorite artists and bands would release live albums to bookend a period and then move on to a new sound, a new journey,? Anthony says. ?I feel like this is a booking-ending of this sound and style for me as I look forward.?

Nominated Artist of the Year by Blueswax magazine 4 years in a row, winning one of those years, Gomes acclaim continues to grow as a songwriter and especially as a performer. While the original plan for a live album was to record a series of dates in Nashville, fate overtook the project when Anthony and his band lined up a test recording during a show at the Triple Door in Seattle, Washington on February 27, 2007. Listening back to the 90-minute performance, Anthony and his team realized they already had the live album they wanted. ?We just played, not thinking about the red light being on,? he says. ?There?s no studio trickery, this is it. We started to pass it on to some fans before releasing it an they all said it?s their favorite CD, ?this is the Anthony Gomes that we know, the person we see in a live show.??

?The album captures the essence about what happens between and artist and the audience, that energy you can?t capture in a studio,? he says. ?The show is a journey and within, there are great individual performances. It?s an organic, living, breathing document of that one night."

The set list includes a churning ?Music Is the Medicine? as Anthony works the crowd into a frenzy, while the funky and soulful ?Bluebird,? a highlight of the last studio release, soars even higher here, the interplay between guitar and keyboards capped by group vocals on the refrain. The explosive ?Testify? is so powerful, Anthony thinks it shreds his original studio track.

The album also features a cover of Led Zeppelin?s ?Heartbreaker,? both a challenge and a thrill for Anthony. ?It was intimidating, but also very natural, part of who I am,? he says. ?I played it in my first band in high school and grew up on that music, so it?s an extension of myself and it?s nice to pay respects to an act that influenced me as a musician and a songwriter.

On the new ?I Won?t Let You Down? Anthony thanks his greatest supporters throughout his career ? his parents. ?You want to make them proud of the man or woman you?ve become,? he says. ?They?ve given so much to raise you and you want to make sure you?re doing a good job in their eyes and live up to the legacy of your family.? Equally compelling is ?Wings of a Song,? which harkens back to Anthony?s lifelong mission statement that music can indeed change the world.

As Live ends one creative period for Anthony, he?s already looking ahead to the next chapters in his ever-continuing musical story as he prepares to unveil Anthony Gomes and the New Soul Cowboys, a song summit between blues, R&B and country too. Of course, his unofficial membership in the Nashville Muzik Mafia, which includes Big and Rich, Cowboy Troy and Anthony?s one-time backing singer Gretchen Wilson, should make it all the more colorful.

"I'm very well-received in Nashville, being a southern rock/blues musician and I've been laying down the groundwork for this new direction, being a roots player, too," Anthony says. "Yes, I'm a blues guy, but as I said on my first album, my blues is Technicolor." And the sound of Anthony Gomes has never been more widescreen, full of Hi-Def excitement, than on Live.

01 - Countdown
02 - Up 2 Zero (Peterik, Gomes)

Decrepit Birth - Diminishing Between Worlds (2008)
Brutal Death Metal | 2008 | 44:44 | MP3,CBR 320Kbps | 94MB

Diminishing Between Worlds succeeds as not only a necessary reinvention (a point only underscored by the re-recording of "...And Time Begins" included herein), but also a measuring stick by which the veracity of brutal death metal albums shall be judged in the latter part of this decade. Is it perfect? Nope. But it's damn close.

The Wrights - The Wrights EP (2008)


The Wrights "The Wrights EP"
MP3 | CBR 320 Kbps 48000 Stereo | 25:39 | 63.37Mb
2008 | Genre: Country | Songwriter

8 Track mini-album follow up to their critically acclaimed 1st album release on ACR/RCA Records, "Down This Road." Tracks produced by Keith Stegall (Alan Jackson), John Kelton, and Paul Kennerley (Emmylou Harris). "The undeniable literacy within The Wrights' songwriting, and the pinpoint harmonies of this talented husband/wife duo, showcase what is truly pure about country music."
With one album to their name, the husband and wife duo consisting of Adam and Shannon Wright recently released a followup EP simply titled The Wrights on a label (ACR) owned by Adam?s uncle, Alan Jackson. It was music that brought the couple together over ten years ago and lead to love and now it?s love that inspires the music.

A couple yearn for the time when their relationship had seen better days, and in reflection, they wish they could go back in the opening track, ?Rewind.? The song features the alluring vocals of Shannon and the longing in her voice is evident every time she stretches out the title and sings ?Reeeeeewind? while Adam sings backup harmony.

The following song, ?Do You Still,? is the first of five on which the couple share songwriting credits. In the song, they seek affirmation from each other that they are still in love after being married for some time. The remarkably reserved vocals and production that highlight the songwriting, rather than outshine it, and along with the harmonies of the husband and wife, these attributes come to characterize the album and are?in part?due to the genius of Keith Steagall, who produced the first six tracks.

?Planting Flowers? finds a couple in an emotionally empty relationship devoid of communication. It?s one of the more brilliant tracks and truly shows off the songwriting prowess of The Wrights. Too often, a dying love is cause for a vindicative lover or an internal awakening of determination, but Shannon and Adam explore the frustrations of cultivating a relationship that is no longer emotionally rewarding, likening it to ?planting flowers on a gravel road.? Written by Alan Jackson and Roger Murrah, ?True Love? was accidentally discovered while choosing songs to include on the EP, and thank goodness it was. ?True Love? is a refreshing look at exactly what the title suggests and ignores the immature misconceptions of love that are so often thrown about in popular culture and country music today.

Paul Kennerley is the fourth person to leave a prominent imprint on this EP. He co-wrote ?A Love Like That,? ?You?re The Kind Of Trouble,? and ?You Were Made For Me? with the Wrights and he produced the latter two, which also close out the album. ?You Were Made For Me? seems to be the only blemish, albeit a small one, on a fine album. The lyrics are a little lighter than featured elsewhere, but even so, the couple still manage to exhibit a cool confidence and faithfulness in their relationship in which jealousy doesn?t play a role; they know that they were made for each other and nothing can come between them.

The Wrights? self-titled EP is a splendid and refreshing album with a focus on mature songwriting that doesn?t resort to banal love cliches. It?s a fine example of what country music can and should be. My one complaint is that it had to end after only eight songs.

Tracklist:

01 - Rewind
02 - Do You Still
03 - Planting Flowers
04 - Home Sweet Highway
05 - A Love Like That
06 - True Love Is a Golden Ring
07 - You're the Kind of Trouble
08 - You Were Made for Me

Shannon Brown - A Tour Of My Heart (1998)


Shannon Brown "A Tour Of My Heart"
MP3 | CBR 320 Kbps 48000 Stereo | 43:23 | 102Mb
1998 | Genre: Country

Shannon Brown grew up in Spirit Lake, Iowa, a resort town built along three natural lakes where her father, a guitarist-band leader, and mother owned several clubs and restaurants. She sang in choruses, show choirs and pageants but didn't consider a recording career until she was 17 when she began singing on karaoke nights every Thursday at her parents' club.

Brown moved to Nashville in 1994 and soon began singing songwriters' demos. For two years, she would work in Nashville for two weeks and then make the 15-hour drive to Iowa to begin a three-week tour and then return and start all over. She signed a record deal with the RCA Label Group in 1997, but she suffered from corporate restructuring at the company and no album was released.

"A Tour Of My Heart" is the debut album by Shannon Brown. The first single released was the amazing power track "I Won't Lie" an amazing song that showed Shannon's incredible vocal range. The album was completed on RCA Label Group in 1998, but was never released due to poor airplay of the first single.

Tracklist:

01. A Tour of My Heart
02. Everywhere I See You There
03. Half A Man
04. I Don't Move You
05. I Won't Lie
06. Maybe
07. Sorrowful Angels
08. Tears Only Run One Way

10. When I Need You
11. You Need A Little Dark

The Gougers - A Long Day For The Weatervane (2007)


The Gougers "A Long Day For The Weathervane"
MP3 | CBR 224 Kbps 48000 Stereo | 42:26 | 73.06Mb
2007 | Genre: Country | Songwriter | Folk | Rock | Americana

For members of The Gougers, who each sport a tattoo of the band's bird-and-broken-heart logo, it is more important that audiences hear the artful and profound lyrics of the songs created by the team of singer-writer-instrumentalists Shane Walker and Jamie Wilson - vivid imagery of human lives, subtle social comment, truth - than be concerned with what sort of genre the band's music fits into.

That's because The Gougers' sound takes in most genres, constantly moving in and out of country, rock, folk, roots, or mixing them up, as Walker and Wilson experiment and evolve as songwriters whose words stay with listeners and make them think. Dreamy ballad, up-tempo urban anthem: They're playing with rhythm and instrumental effects, too, along the lines of influences and music mavericks Ryan Adams, Emmylou Harris and Bright Eyes and premier musical partners David Rawlings and Gillian Welch.

Formerly as The Sidehill Gougers, the four-piece Americana band contributed to such albums as Palo Duro Records', Texas Unplugged: Vol. 2 (2006) - an example of the neo-traditional porch-and-parlor, mandolin-and-fiddle facet of its music, the tender "One Tiny Sin" - and recorded Runaway Scrape (2003), the band's debut CD, and an EP, Gone To Seed (2005), a harmonic and graceful collection of seven songs that intrigued fans and continue to mesmerize them.

Now the Sidehill has been dropped, a drummer has been added, and there's been a switch to electric guitar and bass. The outstanding vocals of Walker and Wilson wrap around a ringing guitar, sometimes a laidback one, a drum riff, echoes or reverb - and always a great lyric. Take, for instance, "Old Crow/Scarecrow," which talks about boozing and ends with appropriate suddenness. Five songs on Gone to Seed were re-recorded for Weathervane, songs fans can't get enough of, like "John Henry" and "It'll Get Better," which Walker and Wilson wrote via text messages and voice mail.

The Gougers are Shane Walker on vocals, guitar and harmonica; Jamie Wilson on vocals and acoustic guitar; Cody Foote on electric and upright bass; and John Ross Silva on drums and percussion, who kept his talents secret while he mastered the recording and then joined the band as it tours from Houston to Oklahoma City. Silva (with engineering credits for Dixie Chicks, Shawn Colvin, John Alagia and Lloyd Maines) had been a friend of the band and its incarnations for years, and it was he who brought in country-rocker-producer Keith Gattis, who oversaw the production.

The two Texas songwriters teamed up this way: Walker, the deep singer-songwriter who played drums and piano by age 4 (and later guitar), heard Wilson singing harmony in a cantina in College Station where together they attended Texas A&M and was blown away. Both had grown up in small towns (he from Crawford, she from Sealy) listening to good country music and soaking up influences from Bob Wills and Johnny Cash to Bruce Springsteen, both of their fathers, and even writer/philosopher Joseph Campbell. Walker was also absorbing the songwriting skills of high-caliber pistols the likes of Gram Parsons and Townes Van Zandt.

When the four put their talented heads together, what results is an eclectic blend of new music and lyrics refined to the basics - as stark yet as loaded with meaning as the band's logo and band members' tattoos: a crying bird ready to fly from its perch atop a broken heart.

Tracklist:

01 - Manheim Station
02 - Rosaline
03 - Old Crow Scare Crow
04 - Everybody Knows
05 - Riding in a Lincoln Continental with Sylvia Plath
06 - Michael
07 - John Henry

Sass Jordan - Rats (1994)


Sass Jordan "Rats"
MP3 | CBR 320 Kbps 48000 Stereo | 42:27 | 104.57Mb
1994 | Genre: Rock | Songwriter

Sass Jordan's third album continues in the vein begun on Racine; this is roots rock with teeth. "High Road Easy" received considerable radio airplay, and the other rockers on the album are similar-catchy with an edge, showcasing Jordan's gut-deep voice.

As on Racine, the up-tempo stuff works the best: "Damaged", "High Road Easy", "Ugly" (featuring a guest appearance from George Clinton), "Honey", and "Wish". Of the slower songs, "I'm Not" and "Give" are excellent, though "Breakin'" is an acquired taste. Jordan's got way more attitude and a much stronger voice than most singer-songwriters, and both are shown to their best advantage on Rats.

Track List:

01 Damaged
02 Slave
03 Pissin' Down
04 High Road Easy
05 Sun's Gonna Rise
06 Head
07 Ugly
08 I'm Not
09 Honey
10 Wish
11 Breakin'
12 Give

James Moors - Hush (2007)


James Moors "Hush"
MP3 | CBR 320 Kbps 48000 Stereo | 39:10 | 96.62Mb
2007 | Genre: Folk | Alt Country | Soft Rock | Songwriter

Young and old souls alike have no trouble finding themselves in the plain spoken lyrics of James Moors. After bringing an audience into the present moment with his midwestern sincerity and ungaurded humor, James unveils the layers of our common experiences to expose the magic that lies beneath them. Often compared to such luminaries as Greg Brown, Peter Himmelman and John Hiatt, James paints the landscapes we live in.

"Hearing Shawn Colvins' - Live 88 on a frigid late night drive through northern Minnesota, warmed me from the inside." That's how Moors remembers being bit by the songwriting bug. Performing under the stage name of Sterling Waters (the name that Moors took after his brother went missing in the Colorado Rockies in the mid-90's), James began criss crossing the country in 2000. He has released three CDs under the Sterling Waters moniker and has had the good fortune to share the stage with Chris Smither, Richard Shindell, Willy Porter, Peter Case and many others. In 2001 James was awarded the emerging artist grant from the McKnight Foundation which funded his most recent Sterling Waters recording, Let it Go, in 2002.

In an effort to live more presently and simplify his life a bit James has shed the stage name and relishes the new begining. Now a family man with two young girls, carefree travels have given way to a path with a deeper purpose and Moors' songwriting has been a major beneficiary. With the release of his CD, Hush, James Moors entices the inner cynic out of the shadows to bask in the glow of the present moment.

Hush boasts performances from Lisa Germano (Bowie, Neil Finn, U2), Marc Perlman (Jayhawks, Golden Smog) and Ben Wisch (David Wilcox, Marc Cohn). Produced in part by Canada's secret weapon, Danny Michel, Hush promises something deeper from the inner world and delivers it through intimate performances and well crafted songwriting. RIP Sterling Waters and welcome to James Moors.

Track List:

01 Ten Years
02 Chenille
03 Anne Louise
04 Stretch
05 It's Alright
06 Magic Place
07 I Want You Back

Jim Brickman - Valentine (2008)


Jim Brickman "Valentine"
MP3 | CBR 320 Kbps 48000 Stereo | 44:42 | 106.67Mb
2008 | Genre: Jazz | Pop | New Age | Instrumental

Valentine's is Jim Brickman's red-letter day. As a master at conjuring sonic romance, the platinum-selling pianist/composer/ producer has truly made Feb. 14 his signature holiday.

The AC/new age hitmaker's 17th CD features 12 intimate morsels, including fresh instrumental takes on familiar songs (a sensuous sax-styled mix of 1997 cross-format top five single "Valentine" and rumba-lite "Escape") and recast vocal tracks (the tender "You," now with Tara MacLean; 2007 AC hit "Never Alone," featuring Lady Antebellum; and reignited "Destiny" with Jaci Velasquez).

Other highlights: rhapsodic "To Hear You Love Me" with hand-picked touring mate Jake Simpson and elegant instrumental "Sacred Moment," inspired by Bach. As he opens his 14th year as a chart presence in what has become a bulk chocolate domain, Brickman maintains his rep as the Godiva of the genre.

Tracklist:

01 Valentine (Instrumental)
02 To Hear You Say You Love Me (feat. Jake Simpson)
03 Escape
04 Sundown
05 Reflection
06 You (Feat. Tara Maclean)
