 (1 Customer Review)
In 1990, Warner Bros., issued a two-volume compilation titled GREATEST HITS and GREATEST MISSES (each sold separately), which contained material from all six of the band's albums from 1978 through 1984. For the casual fan looking to dig further than just "Whip It," GREATEST HITS is a highly recommended purchase. Although considered a joke band by some, Devo has proven to be one of the more musically valid bands from the new wave era, influencing many notables along the way (Trent Reznor, Henry Rollins, Kim Thayil, Kurt Cobain, etc.).
Nearly an hour in length, GREATEST HITS contains nearly all of Devo's best tracks from over the years; "Girl U Want," "Satisfaction," "That's Good," "Through Being Cool," "Freedom of Choice," and of course, "Whip It." Also featured is a remarkable cover of "Working In The Coalmine" (previously only available on the HEAVY METAL SOUNDTRACK), plus such key album tracks as "Smart Patrol/Mr. DNA," "Gut Feeling" and "Gates of Steel." What more could a spud want?
Recorded between 1979 & 1990.

Greatest Hits
$13.75
A Billy Joe Shaver album is always cause for celebration, but on this 2007, Grammy-nominated release, the outlaw country troubadour shines in a whole new way. Produced by John Carter Cash, the album features all country-gospel originals, half of them sung in duet with a laundry list of country greats, including the late Johnny Cash, old partner in crime Kris Kristofferson, and Tanya Tucker. Although the Christian-themed lyrics are utterly sincere, fans needn't worry that Shaver has gone soft ...
| | Hot & Nasty: The Best Of Black Oak Arkansas CD (1993)
Greatest Hits
$8.39
All songs written or co-written by members of Black Oak Arkansas except "Jim Dandy" (Lincoln Chase), "Dixie" (traditional), "Taxman" (George Harrison) and "So You Want To Be A Rock `N' Roll Star" (Chris Hillman/Roger McGuinn).
Although Lynyrd Skynyrd and the Allman Brothers Band remain better known today, Black Oak Arkansas was once an important group in the Southern rock scene. This generous compilation provides a solid thumbnail sketch of the group's career, including all their hits and radio favorites plus a generous assortment of album tracks. Black Oak Arkansas were often criticized by the music press for their cartoonish hillbilly image (especially frontman Jim "Dandy" Mangrum's strangled vocal style), but Hot & Nasty: The Best of Black Oak Arkansas reveals that the group's tunes hold up pretty well: their big hit "Jim Dandy" remains a tub-thumping slice of country-rock, and "Keep the Faith" mines similar territory to an equally listenable effect. The group also shows off a surprising funkiness on tracks like "Mutants of the Monster," presented here in a smoking, wah-wah guitar-drenched live version, and "Hot and Nasty," which has a hard-grooving drum beat that's begging to be sampled by a hip-hop group. Other tracks show off the group's chops on country sounds: "When Electricity Came to Arkansas" starts off with a convincing, old-fashioned hoedown (complete with washboard) before moving into its hard rock portion and "Everybody Wants to See Heaven (Nobody Wants to Die)" is a solid slice of country philosophy driven home by an effective bluegrass-style acoustic arrangement. The listener's tolerance for this music will most likely depend on what they think of Jim "Dandy" Mangrum's vocals, but anyone who enjoys ...

Spyder Turner's biggest hit, "Stand By Me," scratches the surface of one of the most multifaceted talents in the music industry. The Clay McMurray produced "Stand By Me," which features Spyder's on-target vocal imitations of many of fellow 1960s soul brothers such as Smokey Robinson, Chuck Jackson and Jackie Wilson, belies Spyder's incredible talent as a songwriter and producer in his own right. Spyder Turner was born Dwight Turner in West Virginia. He moved to Detroit with his family at a very young age. Drawn to music early on, he participated in glee club and boys' ensembles in school. Forming groups with a few buddies was de rigeur for young black men who came up listening to the "bird" groups of the '50s, and Spyder was no exception. He and a few of his friends created a group called the Nonchalants, and they harmonized to the current hits of the day. All of Spyder's singing around Detroit paid off in 1966 when he teamed up with producer Clay McMurray to reinterpret Ben E. King's classic "Stand By Me." The song features Spyder's interpretation of other singers' interpretations of the heartfelt soul classic. As a result of his number one hit record, which started out as a demo, the 19 year old Spyder Turner was invited to perform at the Apollo Theater, where he had won a talent show three years earlier. Later on, Spyder cowrote songs with legendary songwriter Norman Whitfield. One of Spyder's songs, Rose Royce's "Do Your Dance," (1977) earned platinum status. This underrated soul legend also performed the title track in Berry Gordy's "Last Dragon" film. Beyond the musical arena, Spyder also made on-screen appearances in "Secret Agent Double-00-Soul" and "Street Wars." His self-titled album, Spyder Turner, features an updated smooth rendition of his "Stand By Me." This version relies less on novelty and more on his own sensuous vocals. The other three songs on the album showcase his writing ability and the dexterity ...
