| | Joe Poovey Greatest Grooves CD Joe Poovey Discography of CDs
Greatest Grooves follows the career of Joe Poovey from his early country and rockabilly recordings from the '50s to some of his later efforts ('70s through the '90s), which range from straight country to retro-rockabilly made for European labels. The collection entirely bypasses the '60s, during which Poovey made some of his most commercially successful records, but most listeners will be primarily interested in the '50s material, which makes up over half the disc. "Move Around" and "Ten Long Fingers" are minor masterpieces of the original rockabilly era, and are the primary reasons why Poovey is remembered today. An interesting bonus is two Christmas recordings from a 78 made by Poovey as a young teen. ~ Greg Adams

CMJ (3/29/99, p.29) - "...The studio sides will make you cut a rug, while the live tracks from the 1958 Dallas Big 'D' Jamboree pricelessly offer an early taste of rock 'n' roll. Just listen to the excited shrieks of those girls in the audience..."

| | Junior Brown Semi-Crazy CD (1996)
Greatest Grooves music CDs
$6.79   
Though the elements of Junior Brown's albums remain consistent from release to release, his remarkably high level of musicanship prevents things from ever becoming predictable or monotonous. Brown is a master of his self-invented instrument, the Guit-steel, a double-bodied instrument that's half Telecaster, half eight-string lap steel. He also plays plenty of hot guitar and steel throughout SEMI-CRAZY. In addition to his fiercely twangin' country, western swing, blues-rock and surf vocabulary, Brown has a commanding baritone voice that can go from crooning to gutsy depending on what will best serve his well-crafted, frequently wordplay-laden songwriting.
It's all Brown's show--the band is there ...
| | Brian Wilson Imagination CD (1998)
Greatest Grooves songs
$10.39
This is a DTS CD, which features DTS 5.1 Surround Sound technology and is playable on a DTS-capable 5.1 Surround Sound system.
IMAGINATION includes a remake of the Beach Boys' "Let Him Run Wild" and a Jimmy Buffett collaboration, "South American," that gives "Kokomo" a run for its money. It's only the second album of new material Wilson has made in the 25 or so years he's spent lolling around his swimming pool, and it's a damn shame because at its best, which those two songs aren't, it flirts with perfection.
Beyond the three- and four-part harmonies (handled mostly by Wilson himself) and the dense beds of saxes, trumpets, clarinets and percussion--all of which Wilson fans have long been able to count on--are those classic Wilson melodies. He thrives on little complexities, like the strange modulations in the doo-woppy "Keep An Eye On Summer" and the extra chords in "Lay Down Burden" over which he stretches a stock pop melody. And he can still turn out a deceptively simple pop hook, as on "Your Imagination," and surprise you ...

A co-release between the Sounds Are Active and Joyful Noise labels, Strata: A Young Person's Guide to Experimental Music lives up to its title pretty well -- even if not a kid's album in a classic sense, there's often a gentle, merry playfulness about this 15-track selection which gives a number of creative groups a chance to show what they can do in a post-indie/IDM/everything else vein. The most well-known would doubtless be Soul-Junk, whose pursuit of any number of musical muses ...
