Move It On Over Music Review

Average Rating: (4 out of 5 stars) 4 stars

4 stars Pure, Relentless Rock n Roll
In what is arguably his best studio effort, George Thorogood pulls no punches in delivering a collection of straight-ahead rock. His cover of Chuck Berry's "It Wasn't Me", is enough to sell the album in it's own right. His covers are equal to the task on "Move It On Over", and the more subdued "Cocaine Blues". Through the years Thorogood would deliver many other albums that would pack a lot of wollopp, but this may be the best place to start!

This is a hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD players. By the time Elton John went to France to cut HONKY CHATEAU in 1972, he had already become the first act since the Beatles to land four albums in the American Top 10 simultaneously.

The addition of guitarist Davey Johnstone on HONKY CHATEAU added another dimension to the overall sound. The results were successful, as the nonsensical ...

This is a hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD players. MADMAN ACROSS THE WATER produced only a couple of minor hits, which may have something to do with the fact that its best songs are all five or six minutes long. But they're among the strongest songs in the entire Elton John catalog--especially the lovely opening track, "Tiny Dancer," which builds from a light, delicately melodic verse to a sweeping, ...

Chuck Leavell Forever Blue CD (2001)

Move It On Over

$11.39

It's a long way from "Jumpin' Jack Flash" to the solo piano music of Forever Blue, but that only goes to further validate Chuck Leavell's stylistic versatility. The highly sought-after piano man extraordinaire boasts a massive discography varied enough to include the Rolling Stones, the Allman Brothers Band, Aretha Franklin, and Hank Williams, Jr. Forever Blue was released in conjunction with Leavell's book, Forever Green, an informative work that addresses his other passion -- forestry -- which he avidly pursues on his 2200-acre tree farm in central Georgia. Seven of the ten songs on Forever Blue are originals; some are stripped-down versions of tunes Leavell recorded with his band, Sea Level, in the '70s ("A Lotta Colada" and "Song for Amy," a bouncing, Vince Guaraldi-style tune he wrote while watching his daughter at play when she was a toddler). Leavell's playing is creative and original, yet remains strongly connected to bluesy, Southern roots. A New Orleans feel is often present, particularly on "Walk a Little Closer." He comes down hard on the keys on the gospel standard "Higher Ground," but also gives a valuable lesson in dynamics when he quickly shifts to a gentle, feather-light touch, demonstrating that the distance between forceful emphasis and nimble delicacy can be just a few seconds. Leavell included his take on "Ashokan Farewell," a Jay Ungar song popularized when it was used in the PBS TV documentary The Civil War. Although the song has been recorded more than 30 times, Leavell is one of only a handful of artists who took a gamble on it and made it his, following his own musical trail rather than treating the song as a precious entity not to be tampered with. Even listeners intimately familiar with the tune will be taken to some new territory. The same goes for "Georgia," one of the bluesiest versions of the song you're ever likely to hear. Leavell gets totally inside a tune and goes where the music leads him, yet you get the sense he knows where it's going to lead him. In his hands, some old familiar songs sound as fresh as they did the first time they landed on human ears. Chuck Leavell has loads of chops and plays straight from the heart, resulting in music that is magnificently accomplished and sensitively executed. It's also highly accessible and deeply moving in a simple, straightforward manner. For example, "Comin' Home" was written during the last few days of a tour with the Stones. Leavell was looking forward to returning home to the peace and quiet of the Georgia countryside, and you can literally feel the anticipation he built into this song. A vision of him walking down a long, tree-lined driveway comes to mind. It's not easy to get a full sound on piano, but Leavell does it on Forever Blue, with fat chords on top and nice rhythmic basslines ...
