This absolutely packed King Curtis best-of covers the meat and potatoes soul saxophonist's years with Capitol Records (1963-1964), which came after his original period with Atco and playing with the Coasters (from 1958-1962) and previous to his signing with Atlantic (1965 until his death in 1971), with the Atlantic years being the period in which he gained most of his fame. That said, the two years he spent with Capitol, as evidenced here, were fruitful ones in a big way. The astonishing detail is that the vast majority of these cuts were issued only as singles, and were widely distributed in record shops, juke joints, bowling alleys, drugstore lunch counters and corner barroom jukeboxes all over urban America. These cuts are drenched in sweet soul and pure gritty R&B, from the garagey "Soul Twist" and the honking "Night Train" to a ramped up reading of Horace Silver's "Sister Sadie" and a fine reading of Cornell Dupree's "Soul Twine" -- with a healthy dose of reverb on the sax -- to a true boogie-down-funky version of Herbie Hancock's "Watermelon Man." This is King Curtis without the strings that would be pasted all over his Atlantic studio sides, and, if you can find it, is a worthy addition to your collection. ~ Thom Jurek

Best Of King Curtis album
$6.19 The '60s Blues Revival begins here. Calling this album influential is an understatement akin to calling the Grand Canyon a rut; suffice to say that an entire generation of musicians (mostly young and white) heard this and had their lives changed forever. In fact, for at least a year after the album's release in 1965, it was impossible to walk down the hall of any college dorm in America without hearing one of the songs here ...
| | VH1 Presents The Corrs Live In Dublin CD (2002)
Best Of King Curtis CD music
$6.39 This audio document of The Corrs' Dublin homecoming concert has pretty much everything fans of Irish pop could wish for, including an appearance from Bono in his earthly incarnation, fresh from an audience with President George W. Bush. It's to the band's credit that the charismatic singer fails to steal the show, despite creditable efforts via an anthemized version of Ryan Adams' beautifully downtempo "When the Stars Go Blue," and a great, leering rendition of Lee Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra's "Summer Wine."
Somewhat more mysteriously, Rolling Stone Ron Wood also turns up on what sounds dangerously close to a lounge version of ...
| | Drive-By Truckers Southern Rock Opera CDs (2001) Digipak
Best Of King Curtis music CDs
$11.99 A sprawling two-disc set, the Drive-By Truckers' SOUTHERN ROCK OPERA is a cracked masterpiece that's enjoyable on several different levels. Hipsters might enjoy the giggly premise of a two-disc set devoted to a slightly altered retelling of the rise and fall of 1970s Southern rock icons Lynyrd Skynyrd. Progressive rock fans lamenting the modern era's relative lack of story-driven albums divided into "Act I" and "Act II" will latch onto SOUTHERN ROCK OPERA with the same passion with which they embraced THE LAMB LIES DOWN ON ...

Best Of King Curtis songs

Paul Stacey returns from the first record and is joined by Robinson's guitar-wielding former Crowes bandmate Audley Freed. ...
