Because it contains its share of memorable and inspired material -- and even a few gems -- it seems inappropriate to call Tina Turner's Break Every Rule a disappointment. But because Private Dancer was so incredible a comeback, one greeted this anxiously awaited follow-up with such high expectations that anything less than outstanding would have been disappointing. And the album isn't outstanding -- it's generally quite enjoyable and far from weak -- but not outstanding. Be that as it may, there's a lot to savor here. "Two People" is forgettable, but Turner definitely has some gems in the power ballad "I'll Be Thunder," the driving rocker "Back Where You Started" and the haunting David Bowie piece "Girls." While Private Dancer would be a much better introduction to Turner's work as a solo artist, this has more pluses than minuses. ~ Alex Henderson

 Turner does not actually break the rules with this album, but...
Following the unprecedented comeback that Turner made with 1984's "Private Dancer," almost any followup effort was bound to be greeted with a bit of skepticism and alot of critical interest, and "Break Every Rule" did not disappoint on those level. Removing "Private Dancer" as a comparative work, however, "Break Every Rule" stands as a glorious late-eighties synth-pop effort. Flawlessly produced and performed, the album seems just to glide along, and therein lies most of the albums problems. The first half of the record is filled with songs written for her by the gents responsible for what has become one the all-time greatest pop songs, "What's Love Got To Do With It?" Terry Britten and Graham Lyle. Most of these new tunes are pop throwaways, however, and none are as inspiring as the former hit (although all are served well by Turner's delivery). On the second half Turner absolutely shines. From David Bowie's haunting "Girls" to the Bryan Adam's penned rocker "Back Where You Started" Turner is at the absolute top of her form. The best track on the album by far is the Mark Knoppler produced "Paradise Is Here." Not only is the one of Turner's most stunning vocal performances, but perhaps, like her inspired "River Deep, Mountain High," one of the greatest of all pop history. Considering her successful collaberations with Knoppler thus far, perhaps another offing would be wise for the pair. Had "Break Every Rule" truly lived up to it's title and been filled to the rim with tracks as strong as these, or even "Overnight Sensation" and "I'll Be Thunder" then perhaps "Break Every Rule" would have been a greater success stateside and would have sealed Turner's claim to being one of the handful of true international superstars.

Break Every Rule album
$17.69
IN BRIGHT MANSIONS was nominated for the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Recording Package.
The Fisk Jubilee Singers of Fisk University in Nashville TN have dazzled thousands of concert-goers since their inception in 1871, earning hundreds of thousands of dollars for an African-American school that desperately needed a benefactor, and gaining fans from midwest America to the Netherlands. Except for a few poorly distributed albums in recent years, though, the group hadn't been released in several decades, and regardless, they've certainly never been better heard than on Curb's lavish 2003 production, In Bright Mansions. Digitally recorded with seven microphones in a mid-19th century Nashville church (that now houses a studio), the album is among the best ways to appreciate dynamic jubilee singing. Most of the arrangements are at least a half-century old, though a few songs have new arrangements from director Paul T. Kwami (a native Ghanaian who joined the group in 1995). Fortunately for neophytes, the group includes their ...

One of the biggest radio singles of 1993, Dr. Dre's "Nuthin' But a G Thang" (featuring Snoop Doggy Dogg) proved to be an unforgettable anthem that brought West Coast rap to the mainstream. From there, Suge Knight's Death Row Records became one of major forces in '90s hip-hop, virtually defining "gangsta rap." The company waned near decade's end, as conflict claimed the life of 2Pac, other stars left for different labels, and the combative Knight's extensive legal troubles landed him in jail. However, 2005 found Death Row set ...
