| | Jack Vees Restaurant Behind The Pier CD Jack Vees Discography of CDs
A showpiece for solo bass guitar (with and without overdubbing), this CD serves as testimony to Vees' varied musical background as an alt-rock bass player (with Forever Einstein, among other groups), a contemporary classical composer, and a sonic explorer who is intent upon pushing the boundaries of his instrument. The program opens with an excellent interpretation of Jimi Hendrix's "Manic Depression," with Vees' intense distorted fuzz bass sounding like a heavy metal lead guitar with a chest cold. Equally fine is Vees' accurate, melodic reprise of Paul McCartney's famous bassline from "I Want You (She's So Heavy)," which shows off Vee's control of harmonic nuances and emphasizes the contrapuntal sophistication of the original melody. On the almost new-ageish title piece, Vees hammers the fretboard, producing delicate, chiming harmonics which create a sound similar to a cymbalon or autoharp. "John Henry" and "Surf Music II" are on the abstract end of the scale, with the former a rhythmic exercise in feedback and distortion, and the latter (which is perhaps the single most impressive selection on the CD) a ghostly, hypnotic 22-minute drone piece that sounds more like something played on a "ong string" installation than on a bass guitar. The varied program does not work in favor of continuity, but that's a small price to pay for such a display of the bass guitar's possibilities. ~ Bill Tilland

| | Shakira She Wolf CD (2009)
Restaurant Behind The Pier songs
$14.39 
Shakira's brand new English album She Wolf is an uptempo pop album. It is all about synthesizers and electronic concepts, all mixed with the world sounds that we are used to from Shakira.. sounds from countries like India, the Middle East and her home country of Colombia. She Wolf features a predominantly English track list with a follow up album of new and unique repertoire in Spanish to come in 2010. The title track "She-Wolf " boasts the infectious and energizing sound that made Shakira a household name, with a slightly more dancey/ electronic beat (about 125 beats per minute). Though most tracks on the upcoming album will be in English, Shakira chose to service the Spanish version of the first single, "Loba", two weeks before the English single is launched.
Last time around, Shakira touched upon so many styles she couldn't be contained on one album, splitting Oral Fixation in two. This time, she focuses on one sound only: a pulsating electro-disco that crosses all boundaries and welcomes all nationalities. Such concentration behooves Shakira, freeing her to release her inner She Wolf, a wild wacko who's as ...

| | John Entwistle Rigor Mortis Sets In CD (1973)
Restaurant Behind The Pier songs
$11.98
John Entwistle must have had a ton of material backlogged as a member of the Who in the late 1960s/early 1970s, as evidenced by the appearance of three solo albums in three years (SMASH YOUR HEAD AGAINST THE WALL, WHISTLE RHYMES, and RIGOR MORTIS SETS IN). As the latter's title suggests, Entwistle's fascination with the macabre still served as the basis for much of his work. Comparable to his first two solo releases, RIGOR MORTIS SETS IN is not unlike his few compositions that graced The Who's records around this time. The difference here is a heavier and darker edge. Standouts include a remake of his classic "My Wife" (which is one of the gems on The Who's classic WHO'S NEXT), as well as the straight forward "Gimme That Rock N' Roll."
The cover art for Rigor Mortis Sets In presents a grave for rock & roll with a tombstone that proclaims that it "didn't die, it just ran out of time." Ironically, the same could be said for this album: after establishing a singular voice on Smash Your Head Against the Wall and Whistle Rymes, John Entwistle's burgeoning solo career took a surprising nosedive with this misjudged collection of halfhearted covers and schlocky retro-rock originals. It's obvious from this album's tone that Entwistle wanted to make a commentary about how rock & roll had gone in the wrong direction, but doing tongue-in-cheek covers of classics was not the way to do it. In fact, the versions of songs like "Hound Dog" and "Lucille" are so lifelessly performed that it sounds like the band is ...
