 (1 Customer Review)
The Groundhogs were an at-times better than average 1960s British blues band led by Tony "T.S." McPhee, whose Jack Bruce-like vocals and raggedly aggressive guitar style made the group sound at times like a looser version of Cream. By the mid-'70s the Groundhogs sounded more like Cream thrown into a blender with Ten Years After, and their hard rock sound, for all of McPhee's guitar brilliance, had taken on an alarmingly generic feel. This set combines the two albums for Liberty/UA that the group released in 1976, Crosscut Saw (begun in 1975 as a McPhee solo project) and Black Diamond, neither of which is particularly distinctive aside from Crosscut's acoustic-based "Mean Mistreater" and "Pastoral Future," which features some lovely guitar playing by McPhee. It's nice to have both of these albums on one disc, though, which should delight fans of the band. ~ Steve Leggett

This compilation features tracks originally released on Shreveport, Louisiana's Ram Records.
The Shreveport, LA-based Ram label put out a cartload of rock, blues, and country records in the 1950s without ever establishing itself as a major indie. This 26-track compilation of, as the title promises, rockabilly and hillbilly sides from the decade is definitely for the "let's clean out the vault 'cause it's there'" kind of enthusiasts. That's not to say that it's terrible, just that it's a pretty unremarkable collection of minor leaguers, the biggest name -- and she's hardly a big one -- being Margaret Lewis. A couple of guys not primarily known for work under their own name make early appearances. Joe Osborne, one of the top Los Angeles rock session bassists of the 1960s, is represented by the previously unreleased instrumental "Rovin'," one of the better cuts with its tough blues-rock swagger. James Burton, meanwhile, ...
| | Ray Charles Sings For America CD (2002)
Black Diamond/Crosscut Saw CD music
$25.69
The theme of this collection is, in large part, songs of patriotism, about specific American places, or testaments to the American spirit. Still, you do get the sense that the concept's rather vague, or at least has been applied pretty liberally in order to snag 20 songs that could fill up a collection to appeal to the national mood at the time of its release (about a year after September 2001). "Let It Be" and "Imagine," for instance, are classic songs, but (even leaving aside that they were written by Englishmen) how exactly do they embody the American character? Likewise, "That Lucky Old Sun" and "Over the Rainbow" might be venerated American songs, but they doesn't plug into a specifically American viewpoint as readily as, for instance, "New York's My Home" or even his cover of "Abraham, Martin and John." It's better to treat this as something of a ride through Ray Charles' take on Americana, which goes through country music, popular standards, gospel, covers of rock hits, and not a whole lot of the hard-driving soul for which he's most esteemed. It's an erratic set, spanning the early '60s to the inevitable 2001-2002 re-recording of "God Bless America," featuring Slash and Billy Preston, with six of the songs (including the equally inevitable "America the Beautiful") hailing from his 1972 album A Message From the People. Some of it's excellent, like "New York's My Home," the cover of Percy Mayfield's "The Danger Zone," and "Carry Me Back to Old Virginny"; some of it's fair; and the 1970s material, which comprises the bulk of the disc, too often tends toward the overly sentimental in both song selection and production. ...
