It's impossible to say for sure where or when most of these songs were recorded. The liner notes seem to suggest that they were done during Gene Vincent's mid-to-late 1960s stay in Portland, Oregon. It's not as epochal as his 1950s classics but it's pretty entertaining.
Vincent sneers through a re-worked version of "Be-Bop-a-Lula" and "Pistol Packin' Mama," which builds off the riff from Eddie Cochran's "Something Else." The real treat for Vincent fans, however, are several backstage interviews from 1957, in which the star, among other insights, votes for Chet Atkins as the greatest guitarist around and confesses to owning a partial interest in a Peoria radio station.
Includes liner notes by Red Robinson.

 $11.39
After plugging in at the Newport Folk Festival in 1965, Bob Dylan's break with the folk scene was complete. The ensuing sonic assault caused pandemonium among the crowd, including an apoplectic Pete Seeger, and ruptured Dylan's standing among many of his longtime fans. This collection of Dylan's performances at the festival, taken over three years and filled with plenty of never-before-seen footage, charts his rapid evolution as an artist. Beginning in 1963, THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MIRROR captures Dylan playing the folk and protest songs that endeared him to so many of his generation--including "Only A Pawn In Their Game," "Chimes of Freedom," and "It Ain't Me, Babe" (with Joan Baez)--before he turned ...

| | Hudson Falcons For Those Whose Hearts And Souls Are True CD (2001)
Be-Bop-A-Lula!: The Gene Vincent Tapes songs
$10.69
Modern-day street punk seems to have thwarted any attempts to popularize it as other subgenres of punk rock have been. Then again, it'd be quite entertaining to see what kind of purveyor of this descendent of Oi! would make it onto a popular stage. The Hudson Falcons help to bear the standard of street punk, defined in their terms as "working class punk rock & roll." Their second full-length features an altered lineup, bassist Craighton Fischer and drummer Ben Glotzbach having somehow joined the cause while the band was in Indiana. The music is still a muscular, energetic mix of leftist politics and punk-rock & roll. The Falcons seem still to be writing tracks on their favorite themes, mainly those involving workers' rights, pride, etc. Although, as with the first album, the lyrics do tend to get a bit violent -- see "Scab," with such lines as "Tire irons and baseball bats/You ...
| | Michael J Sheehy Ill Gotten Gains CD (2001)
Be-Bop-A-Lula!: The Gene Vincent Tapes album
$22.09
Michael J. Sheehy is a clever fellow. The first song on the morose crooner's sophomore solo release also doubles as the title of his debut full-length. The sparse and haunting segue tune, "Sweet Blue Gene," is the perfect bridge between the companion pieces. Basically, Ill Gotten Gains is the expected sequel -- another solid batch of lyric-oriented vignettes concerning sin, love, detachment, and pain. As far as instrumentation, there are more of the same intricate string arrangements, shimmering keys, and slick programming tricks. One interesting expansion, however, is that Ill Gotten Gains offers a bit more in the soul department as evidenced by the earthy female backing vocals that sporadically drift through and the occasional sax break provided by Spiritualized's horn man, Ray Dickaty. Regardless of these minor innovations and overall pristine presentation of sound, Ill Gotten Gains ultimately succeeds courtesy of Sheehy's evocative vocal delivery and the themes and associated imagery that ...

WHITE CHALK is as surprising a musical change of direction for Polly Jean Harvey as the bluesy, torchy TO BRING YOU MY LOVE was back in 1995 after the corrosive guitar fury of the Welsh singer-songwriter's first two albums. Indeed, WHITE CHALK may be PJ Harvey's ...
