The mission of the late South Louisiana dancehall great Beau Jocque was to pull zydeco burbling and rocking into a contemporary context. Judging from the slick, swampy grooves contained on CHECK IT OUT, LOCK IT IN, CRANK IT UP!, his mission was a success. Everything from the cartoon cover, which features Beau Jocque as an accordion-playing, turbo-charged superhero, to the two postmodern remixes of "Slide and Dip It" (the space-age "Party Dip Mix" of the tune is the album's high point), indicates that this is not your average zydeco outing.

Accordions and washboards are still the locus around which the band's chaotic world whirls, and the stylistic vocabulary is still predominantly New Orleans R&B. However, the Highrollers throw keyboards and electronics into the mix and kick up the loose, funky bass to create a fresh, booty-moving take on the genre's formula. Throughout the album, from driving rave-ups like "She Wants to Sell My Monkey" to the wah-wah psychedelic blues of "Going to the Country," it's Beau Jocque's dexterity on the squeezebox and his hulking, Howlin' Wolf-inspired vocals that most mesmerize. Jocque keeps the music rooted in tradition even as it breaks new ground.

Recorded at Ultrasonic Studios, New Orleans, Louisiana in March 1998.

Personnel: Beau Jocque (vocals, accordion); Steve "Skeeta" Charlot (vocals, drums, rubboard); Russell "Sly" Dorion (guitar, background vocals); Michael Lockett (Hammond B-3 organ, keyboards, background vocals); Chuck Bush (6-string bass, background vocals); Eric Minix (drums, rubboard).

Lucinda Williams Car Wheels On A Gravel Road CD  (1998)

Check It Out, Lock It In, Crank It Up! album
CD $11.95  4.7 stars Top 500 Audio Samples Definitive Album
All tracks have been digitally mastered using HDCD technology. CAR WHEELS ON A GRAVEL ROAD won the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Folk Album. "Can't Let Go" was nominated for the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance. Williams's fans waited a long six years for this album, as Lucinda went through music business hassles and a revolving door of producers. The reward for their patience is an album full of rootsy, heartfelt observations that alternately rock and mourn. CAR WHEELS is full ...

Allman Brothers Band Dreams CDs  (1989) Box Set

CD $38.09  4.5 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
DREAMS is a 4-CD box set compiling in chronological order tracks by the Allman Brothers Band, as well as tracks by bands featuring one or more member of the Allman Brothers Band and solo performances by Gregg Allman and Dickey Betts. Recorded between 1966 & 1988. Includes a 32-page illustrated booklet and liner notes by John Swenson. Like nearly all box sets, DREAMS has plenty to recommend it-and a few nagging drawbacks. The set's chief shortcoming is its two conflicting goals: providing an overview of the Allmans' history, thus attracting buyers seeking the ultimate hits ...

Poco Forgotten Trail (1969-74) CDs  (1990)

Check It Out, Lock It In, Crank It Up! music CDs
CD $15.29  5 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
This compilation contains 38 songs, including many new remixes from original master tapes, 6 previously unreleased songs, alternate versions of 3 others, and a comprehensive 36 page booklet, with historic liner notes and photos. This excellent two-disc collection captures Poco's finest moments from the days when they were laying down the template for all the country-rock music that was to follow. It's hard to remember, but when the Eagles first hit the scene, they were thought by many to be a Poco-wannabe band. Listen to this set and you'll hear why. The Forgotten Trail (1969-1974) culls tracks from Poco's first eight albums, as well as unreleased cuts and singles. From the classic anthem "Pickin' Up the Pieces," which kicks things off, through "You Better Think ...
