| | Bea Wain My Reverie CD - Import Bea Wain Discography of CDs
Bea Wain's gorgeous voice is marvelously reproduced and celebrated on Jasmine's My Reverie, a fabulous compendium of classic big band recordings dating from 1937-1941. Backed by the orchestras of Larry Clinton, Artie Shaw and Leonard Joy, this charming woman demonstrates her ability to handle each and every song with uncontrived style and finesse. Her version of Harold Arlen's "Stormy Weather" is an immaculately rendered rite of passage. Even Hoagy Carmichael's long-suffering "Heart and Soul" becomes a delectable treat when sung by Wain. Songs of a romantic nature undergo a magical transformation; "Deep Purple" and "I Didn't Know What Time It Was" become arrestingly beautiful, while "Dancing in the Dark" might well cause susceptible listeners to abandon all worldly attachments and responsibilities in order to worship the voice of Wain by playing this one song -- "Dancing in the Dark," words by Howard Dietz, music by Arthur Schwartz -- over and over again for the rest of time. ~ arwulf arwulf
In 1938, Wain scored a big hit singing "My Reverie" with the Larry Clinton Orchestra, and the following year did the same with "Deep Purple" - this 24 track collection chronicles the sultry, modern sounding vocalist through the peak years of her career,
Recorded in the 1940's.
Personnel includes: Bea Wain (vocals); Larry Clinton (conductor).

| | Steve Tyrell Standard Time CD (2001)
My Reverie album
$6.85 
The Warehouse, Sear Sound, The Hit Factory and David Horowitz Music, New York, New York.
Steve Tyrell has had a long journeyman's career in the music business, serving as record company executive, songwriter, and producer. But no one could have predicted the twist his career took in the late '90s. After he sang standards on the soundtracks of the films Father of the Bride (1991) and Father of the Bride 2 (1995), he was signed up by Atlantic Records to make an album of similar material. A New Standard (1999), his debut album, was a sleeper, such that Atlantic cut him loose, but it was still in the traditional jazz charts two years after its release. Tyrell had joined a new wave of retro singers like Diana Krall and Jane Monheit, reinterpreting the same batch of interwar songs that traditional pop singers have been performing regularly since the 1950s. Columbia Records scooped him up, and Standard Time is more of the same. Hailing from Houston, Tyrell has the same Deep South/Southwest accent and the same raspy vocal tone as Dr. John and Leon Russell. His performances, accompanied by a small jazz band occasionally augmented ...

Today the most recognition the Animals get is "House of the Rising Sun" being played on oldies radio, but in the mid-1960s they were a powerful part of the British Invasion, often reckoned on a par with the Beatles, the Stones, and the Who. Like those bands, the Animals had strong roots in blues and R&B, but, in their original incarnation, ...

| | Solomon Burke Make Do With What You Got CD (2005)
My Reverie CD music
$10.15 
Though soul giant Solomon Burke's 2002 album DON'T GIVE UP ON ME was hailed as a comeback, in fact he had never gone away. Occupied by songs from the pens of famed rockers such as Bob Dylan, Elvis Costello, and Joe Henry, the record alerted the mainstream to Burke's continued magnificence, but it was just a continuation of his long journey.
The next stop on the trip, 2005's MAKE DO WITH WHAT YOU GOT, seems less geared toward crossover appeal. Burke does tackle a couple of tunes from the pop/rock pantheon, including the Band's sorrowful "It Makes No Difference" and Bob Dylan's reflective "What Good Am I?," but these seem even more naturally suited to his style than the songs that were ...
| | Judas Priest CDs (2006) Limited Edition; Box Set
My Reverie music CDs
$16.19 
Black Sabbath may have started it all, but no band is more synonymous with heavy metal than Judas Priest. Priest copped Sabbath's heaviness and built on it by codifying the elements that would define metal for two decades: upper register vocal caterwauling, pyrotechnic fretwork, operatic bombast, and taut rhythms played squarely on beat. Of course, their leather bad boy image became a metal stock in trade as well. While in no way an attempt to be the definitive statement on the band, the JUDAS PRIEST LIMITED EDITION box set is an interesting summation of the ...
