The story of Brad Nowell could easily be compared to that of the late John Belushi. Nowell was a gifted artist who knew full well the dangers of excess. His promising life was tragically cut short by a drug overdose just as his career was hitting its stride. GREATEST HITS chronicles the short, sweet trip taken by Nowell and his comrades in Sublime.
Few bands in '90s pop were able to hop genres as seamlessly and with as much spirit as Sublime. "What I Got," their breakthrough single, was hungrily eaten up by alternative radio, as were "Wrong Way" and "Santeria." For those who know little of the group beyond their hits, GREATEST HITS fills out the picture. The trippy xylophone and laid-back hip-hop of "Doin' Time" frame lyrics displaying Nowell's vulnerable side. Fellow punk-ska enthusiast Gwen Stefani lends her pipes to the melodic dialogue of "Saw Red." "Badfish" is a reggae-tinged ballad that looks at ocean pollution from an intimate perspective. Nowell truly lived the punk ethic of excess found at the heart of "40 oz. to Freedom," where he explains that it's "the only chance I have to feel good even though I feel bad." Ironically, SUBLIME's success came after Nowell took that chance too far.

It is nearly impossible to imagine a time when reggae was not part of the cultural currency. Though Bob Marley and the Wailers cannot be said to have invented the style, they certainly brought it to the world stage, and this album was the torch that lit the way. CATCH A FIRE hit with the force of a revelation when it was released in 1973, and though Chris Blackwell tailored its sound with a rock audience in mind, the album was still unlike anything that had ever come down the pike. Ironically, even given its relatively full production and electric guitar solos, CATCH A FIRE sounds more organic and rootsy than any of the Wailers' subsequent releases.
While the percolating rhythms and burbling bass lines of the Barrett brothers, and the sweet, impeccable harmonies of Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer soothe and move, CATCH A FIRE also introduces the conscious, politically minded themes that would remain at the center of Marley's songwriting for the rest of his career. "Concrete Jungle," one of the towering standout tracks, addresses the trap of inner cities, while "Slave Driver" and "400 Years" take on racial/historical issues. Yet Marley's penchant for gorgeous love songs is evident here too on his all-time classic "Stir It Up." Even after everything that followed, and the cult of idolatry that formed around Marley, this remains soulful, message-driven music that goes straight to the blood. Utterly essential.
This two-disc set heralds the beginning of the overdue reassessment of Bob Marley & the Wailers' Island Records/Tuff Gong CD catalog -- and where better to begin than the beginning? Catch a Fire (Deluxe Edition) actually goes one better -- issuing the original as well as a non-overdubbed (aka "Jamaican") version of the album. Disc one contains the latter version -- which has been previously unissued until this point. It also tends to overshadow the brilliant sonic restoration done on the standard issue -- featured on disc two. The early "Jamaican version" of Catch a Fire consists of the album as it was first delivered to Chris Blackwell -- talent scout/owner/operator of Island Records. While pleased with the results, Blackwell convinced Marley & the Wailers that sonic enhancements might be in order. The ...

A musical journey out of the darkness...into the lightDonna invites you to listen while reading these notes...ABOUT THIS ALBUMThis 2-disc CD is a companion recording to Donna's first song chant album, 'Into the Light.' Originally begun in 2001, this long-awaited release provides a musical journey through original song chants that express searching, hope, healing, joy, gratitude and possibility. Donna invites you to make and use these as your personal musical affirmations in your own healing journey. ABOUT THE TWO DISCSDisc One is highlighted by original vocal recordings as well as a quietly soothing instrumental piano meditation. There is also a beautiful duet featuring Donna and vocalist Gregory Fisher. Listeners can hear the layers of intricate harmonies on the a capella vocal montages 'Infinite!' and 'Possibility (Reprise). ' (Donna sang all the vocals on this album. ) The well known 'Cradle Me (Reprise)'--already in use at Taize services in churches and at conferences and retreats throughout the country--was built from the tracks of the full-length song. Disc Two features instrumental tracks that may be used for performances and group singing but are also provided purely for listening enjoyment to create a beautiful and inspiring background for creativity, contemplation and celebration. The progression of these songs begins in quiet sadness and aloneness then gradually moves forward into healing, grace and joy. All the instrumental tracks on Disc Two follow the vocal versions on Disc One. (Certain performance tracks with background vocals can be specially ordered. Contact ...
