 (2 Customer Reviews)
Dionne Warwick's career was revived when she teamed with Barry Manilow on this 1979 LP. Manilow's production of such heavily orchestrated numbers as "I Know I'll Never Love This Way Again" put Warwick back in the spotlight, as she once again sounded confident and compelling. It was the first platinum album of her career, and also her first album in ten years to crack the Top 20 on the pop album chart. Warwick scored another hit with "Deja Vu," and was back on track. ~ Ron Wynn

After leaving Scepter, Dionne Warwick floundered for a while as she sought the production and arranging assistance she needed to return to her past heights. She didn't get it on this 1975 release, as songs like "Love Me One More Time" and "Jealousy" were tentatively sung, burdened with unimpressive lyrics, or poorly produced. Warwick was also experiencing personal problems and experimenting with adding an "e" to her last name, neither of which helped the situation. ~ Ron Wynn

| | Lyle Lovett Smile CD (2003)
Dionne CD music
$12.59
By 2003, fans of Lyle Lovett had grown hungry for any offerings from their hero, as his last album of new material was 1996's THE ROAD TO ENSENADA. While awaiting the next batch of compositions from Lovett's witty pen, they'd been treated to a live album (LIVE IN TEXAS) and a double record featuring covers of tunes by other great Texan songwriters (STEP INSIDE THIS HOUSE). Taking a slighty different track, SMILE is a collection of songs the lanky Lovett recorded for various movie soundtracks over the previous 10 years or so. While Lovett obviously didn't pen such classics as "The Summer Wind," "Blue Skies," or the title track himself, he brings his signature laconic vocal style to the fore so convincingly that you'll find yourself campaigning for giving him honorary composer's credit.

| | Various Artists Across The Universe CDs (2007) Deluxe Edition
Dionne music CDs
$14.49
The 2007 movie musical ACROSS THE UNIVERSE celebrates beloved songs by the Beatles in the context of a fictional romantic tale from director Julie Taymor. Anchored by young love-struck characters named Jude (Jim Sturgess) and Lucy (Evan Rachel Wood), the film features the cast, which also includes Joe Cocker and U2's Bono, performing Fab Four tunes with great gusto. Among the many highlights of the soundtrack are Sturgess's emotive rendition of the title track, Cocker's stomping version of "Come Together," and an energetic take on "I Am the Walrus" by Bono and the Secret Machines. Like Cirque du Soleil's LOVE show, UNIVERSE presents Beatles classics cast in a dramatic light, giving the album a wide appeal with its boisterous, Broadway veneer.
Following the release of the original soundtrack by just a matter of a month (thereby ensuring the irritation of some fans), the deluxe version of Across the Universe is a double-disc, 29-track set containing almost all of the songs featured in Julie Taymor's film, all presented in the order they are in the film. The very fact that this expanded version appeared so closely after the original single-disc soundtrack is bound to confuse fans of the film, but what will confuse them even more is that there is another double-disc version of Across the Universe that contains all 31 songs featured in the film, including "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" and "Why Don't We Do It in the Road." That longer version only appeared at Best Buy and iTunes, which is frustrating because anybody who loves this film enough to have all the music should be able to acquire it easily, especially since the single-disc version really has all the noteworthy moments that will interest casual fans. So, this is a compromised version -- one that is just close enough to having it all to seem to satisfy, but in truth it's far enough away from its goal to be truly maddening. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

| | Jackson Browne Time The Conqueror CD (2008) Digipak
Dionne songs
$12.29 
The front cover of Jackson Browne's TIME THE CONQUEROR features the eternally boyish-looking singer-songwriter sporting a grizzled, graying beard that puts the album title into its personal context. But musically speaking, TIME THE CONQUEROR finds Browne back in his musical comfort zone, delivering exactly the sort of Southern California singer-songwriter pop that made his name back in the 1970s. Recorded with his longtime touring band, the 10 songs have the unfussy, laid-back sound of vintage Browne albums like HOLD OUT and THE PRETENDER, while the lyrics mix political commentary and personal ruminations in Browne's trademark style. This is almost certainly his best album since at least 1983's LAWYERS IN LOVE.
Recording information: Groovemasters, Santa Monica, CA.
Photographer: Frank Ockenfels.
Personnel: Jackson Browne (vocals, guitar, piano); Jeff Scott Young (vocals, piano, Fender Rhodes piano); Jeff Young, Alethea Mills, Chavonne Morris (vocals); Mark Goldenberg (electric guitar); Kevin McCormick (bass guitar); Mauricio-Fritz Lewak (drums).

| | Jane Live At Home 76 CDs (1993) (Import) Germany
Dionne album
$22.45
Jane were a German progressive rock outfit who recorded for the legendary Brain imprint in the early and mid-`70s. While more feted label mates like Cluster and Neu! favored austere ambient experiments and driving minimalism, Jane delighted in ambitious displays of their instrumental virtuosity. LIVE AT HOME was recorded in 1976 and features darkly progressive psychedelia that blends doomy, Sabbath- derived riffs with Hawkind-like psychedelia and free form improvisational excursions.

| | Prism Small Change CD (1981)
Dionne CD music
$13.49
Small Change was the last album that Prism recorded before the band's demise (reorganizing with weaker personnel in 1988 and without the late Ron Tabak). Prism substituted its vigorous rock & roll sound for a more refined blend of soft rock amiability, which paid off to some extent. The vocals are toned down, the extravagance of the horns and synthesizers are absent, and the songs reflect a more adult-oriented feel. Written by Bryan Adams and Jim Vallance, "Don't Let Him Know" is the album's best guitar-driven track, and represents Prism's late-'70s rock & roll sound better than any other. But "Turn on Your Radar" and "Rain," especially, are two of the group's best semi-ballads, containing some of the sharpest songwriting and use of melody that Prism has ever employed. Efforts such as "When Will I See You Again," "When Love Goes Wrong," and "Wings of Love" have the band taking the prettiness of the love song a little too far, and even the delicate piano and keyboard parts sound overly luscious. On the whole, Small Change was a sturdy farewell from one of Canada's most successful bands. ~ Mike DeGagne

| | Ultra-Lounge Vol. 6: Rhapsodesia CD (1996)
Dionne music CDs
$9.15 
The sixth volume of Capitol's Ultra Lounge series, this focuses on the most sedate face of space age bachelor pad music: the sounds designed for dimming the lights, unwinding with martinis, and (stated implicitly; this was the '50s, remember) seduction. It might not have worked for those purposes then, and it certainly won't now, since prospective partners will be giggling too much at the cheesiness of it all to get it on. As far as sheer listening value, this, even more than other reissues of this sort, needs to be taken lightly or not at all. Julie London, Les Baxter, April Stevens, and a host of nonentities from the Capitol vaults may produce relaxing sounds, but not very involving ones. Those creepy organ lines that form the undercurrent of some of the selections provide the most fascination. At its worst, though, it's barely any better than the music you'll hear after you're put on hold by the airlines or the phone company. ~ Richie Unterberger

| | Ari Gold Space Under Sun CD (2003)
Dionne songs
$11.55
The second album by New York R&B crooner and beefcake pinup boy Ari Gold finds him continuing his exploration of smooth, soul-influenced club pop with explicitly gay romantic themes. His voice is as unobtrusively attractive as ever, and the grooves over which he sings (provided by such producers as Desmond Child, Major, Pete Amato, and Marsha Malamet) are all perfectly serviceable. There's a certain blandness to the proceedings, though -- Gold is an okay songwriter, but his "Bashert (Meant to Be)" is about as generic as modern R&B gets, and he turns Culture Club's "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me?" from a tuneful, sweet pop-reggae confection into a tepid, paint-by-the-numbers R&B confection. His vocal tricks -- the soulful ornaments, the whiny, pleading tone, the electronic robo-manipulations -- all seem to be more about triggering automatic listener responses than communicating anything musical. On the other hand, "Caught" features both gorgeous harmonies and a bracingly jittery groove, and "He's on My Team" (a duet with Kendra Ross) is both funny and charming. And if you get tired of the music, there are all those shower photos inside the package. ~ Rick Anderson
Package includes bonus MP3, lyrics and music video.

| | Sounds Living In America CD (2003) Edited
Dionne album
$10.59
The Sounds embrace the decades-old bands that have inspired them to an unhealthy, cover band-like extent -- they pose for photographs as if they're Blondie, and they both look and play the part, with black T-shirts, faded jeans, and snappy three-minute songs with trebly keyboard vamps and tightly wound guitar riffs. But the thing you cannot take away from the members of this Swedish group is that they know how to write and play songs that fit into their favorite era without the sense that specific songs are being cloned. More than that, the group has a bright, singular personality in powerful lead singer Maja Ivarsson, who has a multi-dimensional voice of her own -- her Debbie Harry isn't nearly as obvious as the guy from the Hives' Mick Jagger, for instance. If you value fun over originality -- and you should, especially when it comes to guitar bands at this point -- the Sounds' debut will serve its purpose. It's over with in 40 minutes, and it plays out like a collection of A-sides. If a legion of bands can get away with relying on Nuggets fetishes, why can't a handful get away with taking several cues from Missing Persons, the Cars, and Blondie? ~ Andy Kellman
The Sounds: Maja Ivarsson (vocals); Felix Rodriguez (guitar); Jesper Anderberg (synthesizer); Johan Bengtsson (bass); Fredrik Nilsson (drums).
This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.
