Recorded between 1965 & 1968. Includes original release liner notes by Bob Rolontz.
During the early '80s, Atlantic released newer compilations from some of the most popular R&B artists from the '60s, including Aretha Franklin and Wilson Pickett. The Best of Sam & Dave perhaps works even better. Although the duo's 1969 greatest hits remains definitive from a pop culture and song choice perspective, this boasts superior sound and zero filler. Like all of their compilations of merit, The Best of Sam & Dave proves the precision of the backing from Booker T. and the MG's and the duo's most illustrious songwriting team, Isaac Hayes and David Porter. The writing team's masterwork, the amazing and kinetic "Soul Man" was in line with the burgeoning black pride of the time. While other well-known tracks like "When Something Is Wrong With My Baby" and "Hold on, I'm Comin'" are here, The Best of Sam & Dave also culls other songs that are just as potent. The humorous "Said I Wasn't Gonna Tell Nobody" and the hard-driving yet quirky "Wrap It Up" all display the singular one-two punch of Moore's narrow and irascible tone pitted against Prater's woebegone baritone. Arguably the best track, the phenomenal "I Thank You" closes the compilation on a high note. Although the duo did switch officially to Atlantic by the early '70s, this compilation stops at the prime Stax material. The Best of Sam & Dave had a brief shelf life and was supplanted by more extensive overviews. As a compilation spotlighting the hits, this does the job. ~ Jason Elias

| | Deep Purple Machine Head CDs (1972) Remastered; Deluxe Edition
Best Of Sam & Dave CD music
$10.75
This package contains the original MACHINE HEAD plus quadrophonic mixes of 2 songs on one disc, MACHINE HEAD remixed by Roger Glover in 1998, and a 28 page booklet.
A probable contender for one of hard rock's "all-time most influential albums," Deep Purple's MACHINE HEAD has all the markings of a heavy classic. It was here that the band's combination of amped-up blues, progressive instrumental prowess, screaming guitars, and thunderous rhythms was crystallized for the ages, helping to lay the foundation for hard rock and heavy metal throughout the '70s, '80s, and '90s. The lone presence of "Smoke on the Water" immediately elevates the album to essential status. The song became a long-running radio staple, and boasts one of the most instantly recognizable guitar riffs in rock history.
Yet the rest of the album holds up impressively, ...

After establishing itself as a hard-rock giant, thanks to endless touring and the release of such milestone records as MACHINE HEAD and IN ROCK, Deep Purple was in a state of turmoil when it went into the studio to record 1972's WHO DO WE THINK WE ARE?

| | Steve Conn CD (2003)
Best Of Sam & Dave songs
$13.49
Few sidemen have blossomed into solo artistry as fully as Nashville stalwart Steve Conn on this self-titled release. Crisply produced, with a degree of clarity that in no way subverts the album's rustic ambience, Steve Conn stands on a foundation of vintage keyboards; there's only one synthesizer cameo, and even that was played on a stone-age miniMoog. This gives each song a spacious, solid feel, which serves the narrative quality of the lyrics well. Conn's vocal delivery, unaffected and almost conversational, brings these stories into focus, like a rugged frame around an old family portrait. On "Down on Rigolette" it's a country gothic tale told in stark, poetic detail; "Comfort Me," the plaintive "Beautiful," and the easy-rolling, Professor Longhair-flavored "Don't Ask Me" are more personal recitations, haunted by mystery and glimpses of salvation; and his humor, in full view on "I've Got Your Dark," has a wicked twist. Extra flavor is added throughout each track by the band, whose most stellar member, Sonny Landreth, plays just as exquisitely as you'd expect; Conn's solos are somewhat less pointed but just as drenched in homespun soul. Though not as sophisticated as the songs of Bruce Hornsby, this material draws from the same well and quenches that same thirst for something cool, dark, and Southern. ~ Robert L. Doerschuk
If you've all but given up on depth, authenticity and talent in the music business, Steve Conn will give you reason to rejoice. A uniquely gifted singer and songwriter, Conn transcends any limitations of genre with an earthy musical sensibility steeped in Louisiana roots. The 2003 release of Steve Conn reintroduces a Grammy-nominated talent already familiar to some of the most respected names in music. In that sense, you could call Conn a musician's musician, but that suggests someone only insiders can appreciate. As fans from Boulder to Nashville, from Los Angeles to Louisiana will tell you, Steve Conn makes music for anyone with a heart and a soul. The son of "Peanut" Conn, recognized by Melody Maker as one of the best swing violinists in the South and Southwest, Conn grew up in Pineville, Louisiana, surrounded by the sounds of Southern gospel, Perry Como and Bob Wills. Throw in the music of a generation in revolution - The Beatles, Bob Dylan, Otis Redding, Dave Brubeck, and regional stars like Dr. John - and you begin to grasp Conn's rich bank of musical influences. Conn studied literature at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, no doubt setting the stage ...
