| | Greg Ginn Dick CD Greg Ginn Discography of CDs
Dick is practically a companion piece to Ginn's solo debut, Getting Even. Both albums were released only months apart, yet stake much of the same sonic turf: murky vocals, spluttering guitars, and battering rhythms that naturally recall Ginn's former pioneering band, Black Flag. However, where Getting Even is a tight, focused affair, Dick giddily mixes terse instrumental outbursts like the fuzz bass-driven "Never Change, Baby" with scattershot punk ("I Won't Give In" and the grinding, almost-metal "You Dirty Rat"). Ginn's contempt for modern society seems bottomless, judging by the closing blast of "You're Going to Get It" -- on which he howls, "I want to get back/I want to get even." However, a sly humor emerges on the punk-blues of "Strong Violent Type," which incisively demolishes a macho clod's twisted notions of sexuality (one of Ginn's favorite themes since his "TV Party" days). "Slow Fuse" is as close to a crunch ballad as he's ever gotten, until those dissonant guitars bear down and remind you of who's piloting them. Often copied, Ginn's jangly defiance has never been assimilated, as the handful of instrumentals show. "Creeps" boldly mates fuzzed-out guitars to hip-hop, "Disgusting Difference" to funk, and "Ignorant Order" to a crawl through every lick in Ginn's paint-peeling arsenal. Although unfocused at times, Dick marshals enough of the old firepower to make it a worthwhile listen. Flag fans should enjoy hunting down echoes of their favorite riffs, too. ~ Ralph Heibutzki

Purchase Dick CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Gov't Mule By A Thread CD (2009)
Dick album
 $12.29   
BY A THREAD is Gov't Mule's first studio album since HIGH & MIGHTY was issued in 2006. Since that time, bassist Andy Hess has been replaced by Jorgen Carlsson, though Hess appears on two tracks at the end of the album. Carlsson's playing style is much more aggressive than Hess', and is therefore closer - in spirit anyway - to Gov't Mule's original bassist, the late Allen Woody, though he possesses an adventurous sense of time and is harmonically more colorful than either Woody or Hess. Carlsson and drummer Matt Abst are a solid match, since Abst is a drummer used to shifting time signatures and allowing the unexpected in while still driving a band. The band's keyboardist and rhythm guitarist, Danny Louis, is a shape-shifter, playing to whatever is needed in a given track. His manner of coloring sounds inside and around a particular tune's framework is a large part of what makes Gov't Mule's sound so fresh here - despite the fact that they don't stray far from what they do best. Warren Haynes and his guitar are, as usual, front and center, his guitar screaming, his big throaty growl hammering down lyrics like a Southern fire-and-brimstone preacher with earthshaking soul. The material on this set is tight; there is less jamming but Gordie Johnson's production and mixing equalize everything at ten, making it feel like the disc ...

| | Michael Buble Call Me Irresponsible CD (2007)
Dick songs
$10.09  
Michael Buble ranks among the best of the contemporary crooners working in a classic pop-vocal style, and his 2007 album, CALL ME IRRESPONSIBLE, further refines his suave, smooth style. With its finger-snapping big band arrangements, the album has its share of homage to Frank and Dino, both obvious cornerstones of Buble's music. But this isn't merely a retro exercise; the tunes, the production, and the overall feel are decidedly contemporary.
Stylistically adventurous versions of songs by Eric Clapton, Leonard Cohen, and Willie Nelson keep things lively, while "Everything," a Buble original, is one of the album's highlights. Still, cuts like the lead-off track ("The Best Is Yet to Come") and the old chestnut "I've Got the World on a String" will give listeners looking for some elegant, back-in-the-day pizzazz exactly that.

Dick album
$12.19 
Breaking Benjamin's fourth foray into the crowded waters of early 21st century alternative metal/post-grunge feels a lot like their first three. That's good news for longtime fans of the brooding Pennsylvania quartet, who pound each of the 11 tracks on DEAR AGONY into submission like seasoned strongmen ...
| | Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix CD (2009)
Dick CD music
$7.99 
The slyly referential MOR-pop of Phoenix has, in part, staked it's effectiveness on the reclaiming of unfashionable music styles of yore. From electro-inflected country & western ditties to airy, synth-heavy soft-rock, the group's giddy embrace of all that's considered schlock--retouching the results to a fine point with crisp, modern production and a hip, young attitude--ascended them to the status of postmodern pop auteurs par excellence. WOLFGANG AMADEUS PHOENIX, the band's fourth album, further refines their approach, reining in the scattershot, darts-to-the-wall ...

Dick album
$11.79
"Reptile" won the 2002 Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Performance.
During the recording of the follow-up to his Grammy-winning collaboration with B.B. King, Eric Clapton's uncle passed away. This loss, coupled with Clapton's struggle to get on a creative track, led to REPTILE, a reflective album driven by a number of impressive stylistic turns. Starting with the gorgeous, samba-inspired instrumental title track, ("reptile" is apparently a term of endearment from Clapton's childhood), the man formerly known as God puts his personal stamp on a number of covers while contributing a handful of stellar originals.
Among the artists getting the Slowhand treatment are old standby J.J. Cale (a chugging "Travelin' Light"), James Taylor (a simmering "Don't Let Me Be Lonely Tonight"), and Big Joe Turner (the loping "Got You on My Mind"). ...
