Many country music purists would say that all of Jimmie Rodgers' recordings are essential, and it's difficult to argue with their logic, particularly considering that the Singing Brakeman's recording career lasted six short years. But everyone has to start somewhere, and the 20-track THE ESSENTIAL JIMMIE RODGERS is the best possible single-disc beginning. These are the recordings that, along with the work of the Carter Family, defined country music for decades. Without tracks like "T For Texas (Blue Yodel No. 1)" and "Muleskinner Blues (Blue Yodel No. 8)," there would have been no Hank Williams, and conceivably, no Elvis. Yet these are not historical curios notable only for their musicological significance. Rodgers was a gifted singer (the famous "blue yodel" with which he decorated his songs is still a startling achievement) and much like the blues singers who recorded during the same period, was a master at recombining familiar lines and motifs into unique and personal songs. Start here, but don't be surprised if you start looking for more.Rolling Stone (No. 968, p.76) - 5 stars out of 5 - "[T]he good-natured magnetism of Rodgers, a former railroad man, drives every song..."

Raven Records have done it again, pairing of two of Jerry Lee Lewis' best albums of the '70s into one hot CD, well over an hour of pounding, rippling rock & roll, with salaciousness and a sense of humor to spare. Some of what's here is laugh-out-loud funny and a lot else is openly lewd, but Lewis keeps the ivories so busy -- in tandem with an array of guitarists that include Steve Cropper, Carl Perkins, and Tony Joe White -- that somehow this record never got hung up by the censors, and Huey P. Meaux's production on the Southern Roots sessions gives you a sound so crisp that you'd swear it was the product of rock & roll's lean, mean early years, and not luxuriating in the services of upward of two-dozen players. The two bonus tracks from those sessions, incidentally, are fully worth hearing and only make this a more urgent acquisition for fans of rock & roll and honky tonk, or Lewis completists. The material off of Boogie Woogie Country Man is not as bracing ...

One of the Caribbean’s top entertainers, AJAMU comes from the island of Grenada, internationally famous for its large variety of spices, and known as the “Isle of Spice.” Indeed, AJAMU’s music reflects the variety of spices and musical art forms prevalent in Grenada and the Caribbean. He is adept in Calypso, Soca, Parang and Reggae. Few Caribbean enter- tainers can match him for his ability to write music, compose sharp and deep lyrics, or arrange music. AJAMU is truly a multi-talented entertainer.AJAMU began singing calypso in 1983 after a one-year stint in Trinidad and Tobago where he experienced first hand the great calypso stars in action. Once he arrived on the calypso scene, fans welcomed this breath of fresh air and dubbed him “KING AJAMU”, a title that he answers to, but his humble nature has not embraced. Acknowledging his talent, AJAMU has since been hailed by both Calypso Rose, the Calypso Queen of the world, and the Mighty Sparrow, the calypso King of the World, as a gifted, talented and top-class Calypsonian. The Mighty Sparrow said of his Grenadian compatriot that he reminded him of himself when he started his career. AJAMU holds the unprecedented title as the seven-time Grenada Calypso Monarch, winning in the 1987, 1988, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1995, and 2004, and he continues to make outstanding musical contributions generating CD after CD and hit after hit. Standing at just 5ft 7inches, this musical giant plays guitar, keyboards, drums, and is a certified sound engineer. AJAMU has written, arranged, and produced songs for a number of top Grenadian Calypsonians, and has transformed many a calypso with his finishing touches. He concluded ...
