The Mighty Diamonds remain one of the most influential of the many harmony trios that appeared on the reggae scene in the late '60s and early '70s. Although their lyrics have generally focused on sociopolitical and religious themes, their vocal sound is smooth and soft, unlike the raw, open harmonies favored by some of their similarly inclined contemporaries. Lead singer Donald "Tabby" Shaw has an especially silken voice, one which sometimes sounds curiously out of place delivering dread messages like those contained in "Illiteracy" and "Survival." Reggae Street collects ten tracks from their days at the Channel One studio, backed by the Revolutionaries (led by Sly & Robbie). The rhythms are strictly rockers, the singing strictly roots. "Stay far from me," coos Shaw gently, "You suck the eyes out of my head, don't even care if I drop dead." Elsewhere he warns Babylon about the "Unseen Eyes" of Jah and compares a "big con man" to King Kong, vowing to defeat him with music. Wonderful. ~ Rick Anderson

Reggae Street Music Review Purchase Reggae Street CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Allman Brothers Band Dreams CDs (1989) Box Set
Reggae Street
 $38.09   
DREAMS is a 4-CD box set compiling in chronological order tracks by the Allman Brothers Band, as well as tracks by bands featuring one or more member of the Allman Brothers Band and solo performances by Gregg Allman and Dickey Betts.
Recorded between 1966 & 1988. Includes a 32-page illustrated booklet and liner notes by John Swenson.
Like nearly all box sets, DREAMS has plenty to recommend it-and a few nagging drawbacks. The set's chief shortcoming is its two conflicting goals: providing an overview of the Allmans' history, thus attracting buyers seeking the ultimate hits package, and including enough unreleased tracks and rarities to appeal to the band's most devoted fans. As a result, DREAMS is neither the definitive Allman Brothers collection nor the gift to hardcore fans that, say, THE BOOTLEG SERIES is to Dylan-philes.
DREAMS' strengths are considerable. First and foremost, the box contains nearly five wall-to-wall hours of great music. By including ...
| | Poco Forgotten Trail (1969-74) CDs (1990)
Reggae Street
$15.29
This compilation contains 38 songs, including many new remixes from original master tapes, 6 previously unreleased songs, alternate versions of 3 others, and a comprehensive 36 page booklet, with historic liner notes and photos.
This excellent two-disc collection captures Poco's finest moments from the days when they were laying down the template for all the country-rock music that was to follow. It's hard to remember, but when the Eagles first hit the scene, they were thought by many to be a Poco-wannabe band. Listen to this set and you'll hear why. The Forgotten Trail (1969-1974) culls tracks from Poco's first eight albums, as well as unreleased cuts and singles. From the classic anthem "Pickin' Up the Pieces," which kicks ...

Reggae Street
$19.79
Recorded between 1967 & 1983. Includes liner notes by Jim Ladd.
Released to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the release of the first Doors album, THE VERY BEST OF THE DOORS supercedes all former Doors compilations. At two discs and 34 tracks, this is quite comprehensive for a band whose key lineup released only half a dozen albums. In addition to all the expected hits like "Light My Fire," "Hello I Love You," and "Roadhouse Blues," this compilation delves much deeper into the catalogue with fan favorites such as "Not To Touch the Earth" and "Wishful Sinful," as well as a handful of previously obscure rarities. Remastered and newly remixed by original engineer Bruce Botnick and the surviving members of the Doors, THE VERY BEST OF THE DOORS is a solid tribute to the band.
The first Doors album was an important development in the evolution of rock, representing the dark underbelly of the '60s counterculture, the Jekyll to ...

Pauline Oliveros is one of a kind when it comes to listening to other improvisers and contributing to the moment of an improvisation without showing any trace of ego. And yet, in group contexts she always seem to steal the show. Is it because of her natural sense of harmony (yes, there is still room for that in free improv) or the beautiful drones she squeezes out of her accordion? This 53-minute set was recorded live at the Center for New Music and Audio Technologies in Berkeley. Surrounding Oliveros are George Marsh and Jennifer Wilsey on percussion and David Wessel on electronics. Most of the set consists of tapestries of soft textures: accordion drones, cymbal rolls, gongs, bells and chimes, cavernous drones. That's when the music works best (and the third of these three untitled tracks is a charm). Any sounds rising over this level of activity feel awkward. When Marsh plays patterns with brushes on the tom-toms toward ...
