| | John Wells Dash CD John Wells Discography of CDs
A key player in the Christian hip-hop realm through his ministry and his songwriting and rapping in the Cross Movement, John "The Tonic" Wells has created his first solo album. Though not an overhaul of his usual sound, the album is slightly more eclectic than his group work, with gritty gangsta-esque numbers mingling with trippier, keyboard-based tracks. Eclecticism notwithstanding, the songs are united in their theme, which is the call for a meaningful life as an instrument of the Lord. Dash Review

Christian rockers Sanctus Real blend elements of post-grunge, indie rock, and emo with messages of faith and devotion. The band sounds very assured on its third outing, THE FACE OF LOVE, with smarter, catchier songcraft, tighter arrangements, and some nice sonic trimmings. The album's opener and first single, "I'm Not All right," is a melodic blast that proves Sanctus Real can be majestic and sweeping, while "Eloquent" is tight and nervous, and the title track merges a post-punk ethos with pop-rock. In all, THE FACE OF LOVE is an impressive showing from one of Christian rock's brighter lights.
Having evolved from power pop to heavier rock back to melodic modern fare, Sanctus Real blend the styles of their previous two efforts on The Face of Love. The quartet takes listeners on a journey to a sonic realm ...

| | Diana Ross I Love You CD (2007) With DVD; Special Edition
Dash
$19.39
This set includes Ross' first studio album since 1999. While at home looking through a family photo album, listing to "Remember" by Harry Nilsson, she became inspired to record a new album of love songs with a positive message. The DVD includes behind-the-scenes footage and photo gallery.
Personnel: Diana Ross (vocals); Brandon Fields (saxophone); Larry Klein (bass instrument); Will Lee (bass guitar); Fred White (drums, percussion); Keith Carlock (drums).
Diana Ross rightly belongs in the pantheon of essential pop artists, and the appearance of 2007's DREAMGIRLS, a film based on the rise of the Supremes, made her legendary star shine all the brighter. Though not as strong as Ross's best work from the past, her 2007 solo album, I LOVE YOU, is a nice, safe collection of romantic standards, ballads, and contemporary covers.
The material ranges from classic pop (Bacharach-David's "The Look of Love," for example) to vintage R&B (the Platters' "Only You") to seemingly odd but still enjoyable choices (Berlin's "You Take My Breath Away" and the Spiral Staircase's "More Today Than Yesterday"). The arrangements are straightforward, and Ross's performances are enjoyable, if a bit timid, but die-hard fans of the great singer will still appreciate her take on these fine, well-known tunes.
In what might be the least inspired album of her career, iconic diva Diana Ross sleepwalks through a mishmash of seemingly randomly chosen love songs, all covers save for one new composition, adding nothing to them and forcing one to wonder just why she bothered. It's been standard music industry practice for years for artists to record (or for their labels to release compilations of) romantic tunes in time for Valentine's Day, and the January 2007 arrival of this set couldn't have been better timed as it also coincided with the release of the film version of Dreamgirls, based on the career of the Supremes. But Ross doesn't seize the moment: she puts little emotion or enthusiasm into her recitations here, and seems to have little familiarity with, or understanding of, the songs she and producers Peter Asher and Steve Tyrell have chosen for the album. Her vocals are largely nondescript and at times barely hint at the qualities that made her such a distinctive force for decades, and the arrangements and production are whitewashed and lacking in originality. The material is all over the place, including songs from the '50s to those of more recent vintage, from the Platters' "Only You" through Berlin's "Take My Breath Away," and from fellow Motown great Marvin Gaye's "I Want You" to the ubiquitous (and, at this point, plain annoying) "You Are So Beautiful." Ross takes Jackie Wilson's "To Be Loved" and bleeds the soul from it, and she drains the magic from the Drifters' classic "This Magic Moment." Harry Nilsson's "Remember" not only opens the album ...
| | Big Joe Turner Definitive Blues Collection CDs (2007)
Dash
$11.85 
Audio Remasterers: Dan Hersch; Bill Inglot; Dave Schultz.
With his combination of jump blues, boogie woogie, swing, and proto rock & roll-- to say nothing of his bone-rattling vocals--Big Joe Turner was a vital figure in the development of roots music throughout the 1930s, '40s, and '50s. With 30 tracks spanning the breadth of the artist's career, DEFINITIVE BLUES COLLECTION is a superb introduction to the big man himself. From juke-joint rumblers to black-tie ballads and back, DEFINITIVE lives up to its name by creating a loud, fully fleshed portrait of one of the biggest voices in blues.
Rhino/Atlantic presents Big Joe Turner's The Definitive Blues Collection, a double-CD sampler containing 30 singles and EPs recorded between April 1951 and September 1959, during Turner's second decade of recording activity. Ideally, this would have been a companion volume to Atlantic's chronologically scrambled 2005 compilation The Rhythm & Blues Years, and yet the two issues have 17 titles in common. Considered by itself, this Definitive Collection is a triumphant accomplishment. Here the songs are doled out in chronological ...
