| | 1974 - 20 Original Chart Hits CD Various Artists :
1974: 20 Original Chart Hits continues British label A Time To Remember's look at the hits of the decade. The tracks featured are a strange mix of novelty, pop, and hard rock tracks that give a very good, if narrow, feel for the times. This edition spotlights the booming glitter and glam sounds that were sweeping the U.K. with great songs from Suzi Quatro ("Devil Gate Drive"), Kenny ("The Bump"), Hello ("Tell Him") and Mud ("Tiger Feet"). The rest of the collection ranges from the sublime (Hot Chocolate's "Emma," George McRae's "Rock Your Baby," Andy Kim's "Rock Me Gently") to the ridiculous (Paul Anka's "(You're) Havin' My Baby," Brian Protheroe's "Pinball") to the obscure. In all, this is a decent collection that almost works and will certainly bring back memories for devotees of English pop music of the '70s. ~ Tim Sendra 1974 - 20 Original Chart Hits Music 1974 - 20 Original Chart Hits Songs | 1. | Magic - Pilot | |

Purchase 1974 - 20 Original Chart Hits CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Susan Boyle I Dreamed A Dream CD (2009)
1974 - 20 Original Chart Hits album
 $9.55     
Susan Boyle's grand unveiling on Britain's Got Talent was with a song from Les Miserables - the very song that lends this album its title -- and if she could become an international sensation based on a show tune standard, there's no reason for her to change her approach on her debut, since that's the sound that made her a star. Plus, a large part of Boyle's appeal is that she's a middle-aged woman recalling a bygone era when there were singers that appealed to an adult audience by offering soft, stately versions of pop hits and standards. That time was the late `60s and early `70s, ...

1974 - 20 Original Chart Hits CD music
$9.74 
Since Jimmy Buffett never leaves his comfort zone, it's hard to call 2009's Buffet Hotel a return to roots but, in a way, it is. Discounting the mock rap on "Turn Up the Heat and Chill the Rosé," this album doesn't even have the lingering country and reggae flavors that seasoned 2006's Take the Weather with You, with all of the songs riding a cool, mellow country-rock wave, the kind that has been his ...

| | Lady Gaga Fame Monster CD (2009)
1974 - 20 Original Chart Hits songs
$8.79 
Initially planned solely as a standard double-disc reissue in the wake of the blockbuster success of The Fame, Lady Gaga decided to release the new material as a separate EP called The Fame Monster in addition to the standard two-CD set, where it's tacked onto a now standardized version of her debut. It's a nice move for fans, plus it helps emphasize the new material, which does act as a bridge from the debut to a forthcoming full-length. Everything on The Fame Monster bears a galvanized Eurotrash finish, as evident on the heavy steel ...

Randy & The Bloody Lovelies/Randy & the Bloody Lovelies/Bloody Lovelies: Lisa Germano (various instruments); Greg Leisz (pedal steel guitar); Eric Holden (bass instrument); Lee Thornburg, Shawn Pelton.
RANDY & THE BLOODY LOVELIES"This record is me looking at myself through characters. I would find that when I had met people, I'd try to figure out what makes them tick. After a while I began to realize that I was actually looking at myself through the eyes of other people. In that sense, it was almost scary to write these songs." - Randy Wooten, June 2005It's safe to assume that Wooten's keen observational skills are partly attributable to his uniquely eventful upbringing. It's an equally safe bet that Lift will further fuel the ascent of Randy & The Bloody Lovelies. With its tales of ordinary people swimming valiantly against the tides of modernity, Lift not only gives insight into the twenty-first century consciousness, it also offers a glimpse inside the mind of Randy Wooten himself."I think when you're at certain places in life, other people become a Rorschach test for you," Wooten says. "So writing this was good ...
