Spirits album
$38.49 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 package, and including enough unreleased tracks and rarities to appeal to the band's most devoted fans. As a result, DREAMS is neither the definitive Allman Brothers collection nor the gift to hardcore fans that, say, THE BOOTLEG SERIES is to Dylan-philes.
DREAMS' strengths are considerable. First and foremost, the box contains nearly five wall-to-wall hours of great music. By including everything from early demos to Gregg Allman and Dickie Betts' solo material, DREAMS does a great job of tracing the group's musical evolution from hippie blues band to kings of Southern rock. And, while the unreleased studio version of "Statesboro Blues" included here isn't definitive, it's still mighty good-as are the set's other rarities. Start your Allman Brothers collection with THE FILLMORE CONCERTS; if that grabs you, DREAMS should also find a welcome place on your CD shelf.
Personnel includes: Gregg Allman, Dickey Betts (vocals, guitar); Duane Allman (guitar, dobro, background vocals); Paul Hornsby, Scott Boyer, Elvin Bishop, Tommy Talton, Steve Beckmeier, Rickey Hirsch, John Hug, Dan Toler (guitar); John Hughley (steel guitar); Tom Doucette (harmonica); Steve Madaio, Pat Rizzo, Dave Luell (horns); Steve Miller, Chuck Leavell (piano); Dale Betts, Neil Larson (keyboards); Reese Wynans (organ); Bob Keller, Pete Carr, David Brown, Berry Oakley, Lamar Williams, Willie Weeks, Ken Tibbets, David Goldflies (bass
| | Keith Jarrett Always Let Me Go: Live In Tokyo CDs (2002)
Spirits CD music
$22.29 Recorded live at Orchard Hall and Bunka Kaikan, Tokyo, Japan in April 2001.
Recorded live in Tokyo in April 2001, Always Let Me Go is Keith Jarrett's 149th concert in Japan. Joined by his long-standing partners Gary Peacock and Jack DeJohnette, these performances are playful, explosive, somber, and completely improvised. After 20 years of working together, they trust each other (and the audience) enough to deliver over two hours of unscripted music. DeJohnette prowls through his drums like a restless cougar: he chatters, scuffles, and pounces on the skins with agility. Likewise, Peacock spoons out a concrete foundation of bass; one that bubbles as it spreads through the cracks in Jarrett's 88 keys (which serve the pianist so very well). For listeners familiar with the trio's Inside Out CD, here is the same idea further elaborated on.
"Hearts in Space" spirals out of the starting gate with geometrical tremors, as three virtuosos all start their respective engines and read each other's pulses over the course of 32 minutes. The trio effortlessly glide from mood to mood in synchronization to deliver a ballad in the eye of a hurricane, then dismount into straight-ahead swing. "The River" is a stoic hymn, a richness of melancholy in deep scarlet blue. It is Jarrett's only solo here, as brief as it is rewarding. "Paradox" rides the crest of bebop in a simmering stew to close out the first disc with a punch that stops on a dime. There are enough recurring themes here to call it a standard of sorts, and the musicians quickly assume the proper formation as they've done thousands of times before. Disc two opens with "Waves," another half-hour marathon of moods that evolves seamlessly between chromatic stillness, manic fluttering, and gunpowder bop. DeJohnette clearly sets the tone for "Facing East" -- a syncopated clockwork of beat, as Jarrett pinwheels in like-minded percussives with Peacock flipping through volumes of frets. Next comes the aptly titled "Tsunami," which swe
| | Tom Waits Real Gone CD (2004)
Spirits music CDs
$15.05 The absence of piano is significant--Waits's jazzy harmonic underpinning is entirely dismantled here, leaving only the most basic, blues-oriented structures atop which Waits hangs his distinctive poetic imagery, at once surreal and highly detailed. There's an overwhelming sense of darkness ("How's It Gonna End," "Dead and Lovely"), but there are also moments of pure unfettered glee "Metropolitan Glide," "Shake It"), which are often goosed along by Waits's son Casey on turntables and percussion. A perennial romantic, Waits does let in a little melodic sunshine on the poignant closing ballad, "Day After Tomorrow," but for the most part, REAL GONE is a deliriously wild ride.
There have been many incarnations of Tom Waits--the boozy piano balladeer, the arch Kurt Weill acolyte, the bold sonic experimentalist--but the one that pops up on REAL GONE is probably most akin to the raw, howling, modern primitive of BONE MACHINE. As he did on that 1992 album, Waits gets in touch with his inner Captain Beefheart on REAL GONE. Instead of employing arrangements that merely suggest the accompaniment of a FAT ALBERT-style junkyard band, Waits actually sounds like he's hooting and hollering in the middle of a Salvation Army scrapyard, albeit one populated by junkmen with an inherent simpatico for his medium.
Personnel: Tom Waits (vocals, guitar, chamberlin); Marc Ribot (guitar, banjo); Larry Taylor (guitar, bass guitar); Harry Cody (guitar); Les Claypool (bass guitar); Casey Waits (drums, percussion, turntables); Brain (percussion); Mark Howard (bells).
| | Keith Jarrett Radiance CDs (2005)
Spirits songs
$21.25 Jarrett's wide range of influences is threaded throughout--strains of classical, jazz, pop, and world music are identifiable here and there. As with all his improvised work, there is a great feeling of exhilaration for the listener in discovering--along with his concert audience--where Jarrett will go next. In fact, RADIANCE feels even more open-ended than previous efforts in that it relies less on recurring themes and more on small bits of musical connective tissue, which lead the playing in ever-shifting directions. Yet Jarrett's skill and innate sense of balance and pacing are such that the music rarely feels disjointed, making RADIANCE a rich, thoroughly engaging listening.
Though pianist Keith Jarrett has dabbled in many styles and genres over the years, he is most renowned, and deservedly so, for his solo piano performances. Live albums like THE KOLN CONCERT and LA SCALA feature Jarrett engaged in extended improvisations, exploring motifs and phrases, and turning them inside-out with a dazzling ear for detail and permutation. The two-disc set RADIANCE belongs with Jarrett's finest improv concerts. Recorded while the artist was on a 2002 tour of Japan, RADIANCE represents Jarrett's unique, genre-bending playing at its best.
Personnel: Keith Jarrett (piano).
| | Cream: Royal Albert Hall CDs (2005)
Spirits album
$17.49 The set list features the usual suspects (their hopped-up cover of Skip James's "I'm So Glad" and the canonic riff-ology of "Sunshine of Your Love," among others), with some expected space left for the musicians to stretch out. The band still sounds powerful, if not as wild and searching as they did in the '60s (guitarist Eric Clapton, in particular, sounds a bit reserved). ROYAL ALBERT HALL would not be the place for the Cream novice to start (DISRAELI GEARS or BBC SESSIONS would be a better bet), but the group does manage to recapture some of their former magic, which is impressive considering their age (they're all in their 60s) and all the water that's passed under the bridge since their heyday.
The turn of the millennium seemed to be the age of reunions, and Cream's re-teaming for a series of shows (the specifics can be found in the album's rather ineloquent title: ROYAL ALBERT HALL: LONDON 2-3-5-6 2005) kept pace with that trend. Although nearly 40 years had elapsed since the legendary power trio first called it quits, there is still a fair bit of the serious chemistry, technical wizardry, and swirling energy that made Cream's music so vital in the 1960s.
Cream: Eric Clapton (vocals, guitar); Ginger Baker (vocals, drums); Jack Bruce (bass guitar).
| | Chet Trumpet Baker Out Of Nowhere CD (1982)
Spirits CD music
$13.95 Digitally remastered by Phil De Lancie (Fantasy Studios, Berkeley, California).
While not Chet Baker's most arresting album, OUT OF NOWHERE finds the legendary trumpeter/singer performing live in his home state of Oklahoma with local Tulsa musicians. This Christmas Eve concert displays Baker's genius, despite the severe heroin addiction that had plagued him for decades; he plays with insight and inventiveness on all eight tracks. Moreover, his performance on "There Will Never Be Another You" proves that Baker had one of the most charismatic voices in jazz.
On the be-bop anthem, "Au Privave," he burns like he used to as a young lion in the early '50s, while on "All the Things You Are," Baker takes more of a bebop approach to the music, soloing with passionate and uncharacteristically intense vigor. This album offers a rare insight into the later years of one of the great post-war jazz pioneers.
Recorded at the Nine Of Cups, Tulsa, Oklahoma on December 24, 1982. Includes liner notes by Larry Hollis.
Personnel: Chet Baker (vocals, trumpet); Frank Adams (alto saxophone, flute); Frank Brown (guitar); Ted Adams (acoustic bass); Ron Adams (electric bass); Wade Robertson (drums).
| | Friends: Music From The TV Series CD (1995) Original Soundtrack
Spirits music CDs
$5.95 Contains excerpts from the TV show, performed by Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer.
It may be impossible to listen to "I'll Be There For You," The Rembrandts' upbeat anthem to friendship and the theme from FRIENDS, without thinking of the hit TV show, but you don't have to be a fan to appreciate this soundtrack, which includes previously unreleased material by Toad The Wet Sprocket and Paul Westerberg. There is true balance and variety to the compilation, featuring heavyweights (Lou Reed) and newcomers (Barenaked Ladies) alike.
Standouts include The Pretenders' transforming Juice Newton's 1981 hit "Angel Of The Morning" into a love song that can be taken absolutely seriously, Joni Mitchell's extended and deliriously funky version of the classic "Big Yellow Taxi," and k.d. lang's smoothly seductive "Sexuality." Themes of frustrated romance and friendship weave a connection between many of the tracks, and short dialogue excerpts from the series are interspersed between songs, often tying in thematically with the music.

Producers include: Kevin S. Bright, Paul Mitchell, The Rembrandts, Don Gehman, Gavin MacKillop.
Engineers include: Don Gehman, Gavin MacKillop, Steven Rosenthal.
Audio Mixers: Gavin MacKillop; Brendan O'Brien.

| | Pegi Young CD (2007)
Spirits CD music
$10.39 There are few major label debuts as long in the making as this understated gem. After three decades of raising a family, co-founding the Bridge School for special-needs children, and singing back-up on worldwide tours--all with her legendary husband, Neil--Pegi Young had her coming-out moment in 2006 when she shared center stage at the Ryman Auditorium with Neil and Emmylou Harris on the stirring renditions of "Four Strong Winds" and "Comes A Time." After years in the background as the better half of the ultimate baby-boomer troubadour, Pegi was in the spotlight.
On PEGI YOUNG, she turns in a set of songs that walk a beautifully subtle line between innocence and experience--she wrote them in her 20s and waited 30 years before committing them to tape. Backed by many of the same ace musicians who have logged time with her husband, PEGI YOUNG plays like the musical memoirs of the ultimate Laurel Canyon survivor. Songs such as "Heterosexual Masses" and the Jimmy Buffett cover, "When the Wildlife Betrays Me," all reflect on a life of constant motion and excitement, while "Hold On" and the Spooner Oldham classic "I'm Not Through Loving You Yet" reveal the joys and difficulties of a longterm monogamous relationship. The object of her affection makes an appearance or two--with an undeniably recognizable harmonica line here or guitar riff here there, plus an electric sitar debut on "Love Like Water"--but Neil's presence is definitely a sidenote to the real story here: the affecting combination of Pegi's wide-eyed songs with her wisdom-of-age delivery.
Personnel: Pegi Young (acoustic guitar); Neil Young, Anthony Crawford (acoustic guitar); Ben Keith (autoharp); Spooner Oldham (electric piano); Rick Rosas (bass guitar); Karl T. Himmel, Chad Cromwell (drums).
Additional personnel: Marty Stuart (mandolin); Rob Clark , The Jordanaires (background vocals).

$74.89 | | Saville Somnambular Ballads CD (2008) (Import)
Spirits music CDs
$18.55 Dublin band Saville are musical time travellers extraordinaire, blending all the best bits of pop into one completely original package. All four members are passionate about music, and the band is known for their innate ability to traverse a wide range of styles and genres with apparent ease. Not only can they turn their collective hands to Burt Bacharach inspired pop, Byrdsian rock, and guitar-driven indie tunes, they can also throw in the odd stray reggae rhythm, and can come up with something as unexpected as the Jacques Brel-like 'City of Engineers'. Purposely eclectic and openly acknowledged influences come together in original songs in the jangly Rickenbacker-drivenguitar pop tradition. Saville are Ken O'Duffy on vocals and guitar, brother Vinny on bass, Tony "Tosh" Flood on guitar, piano, vocals and assorted other instruments, and Joey Fitzgerald on drums. All hail from Coolock on Dublin's northside, and all have been friends since their schooldays. Their self-financed debut album Is Anybody Happier Today, released in 2000 ontheir own bdb label received rave reviews, and was declared one of Ireland's finest albums in recent years. The band received tremendous accolades for their superb grasp of songwriting and pop sensibility, and soon they were playing to packed houses in Dublin and beyond. They were the first unsigned band to appear on BBC's prestigious music programme Top Of The Pops 2,and also earned an appearance on MTV's Unsigned. The follow-up album Somnambular Ballads, released October 2003 on the Dublin indie Reekus label, was again hailed as "not just one of the best Irish albums of 2003, but one of the best albums of the year, period". (Evening Herald), with all the critics agreeing that the album highlights the band's talent for fusing heavenly pop with masterful songwriting.

Spirits songs
$14.38 Ace are proud to announce a new compilation curated by Saint Etienne, the British group led by songwriters Bob Stanley and Pete Wiggs and fronted by vocalist Sarah Cracknell. This compilation, the second in a series (the first was “Songs for Mario’s Café” released back in 2004) is one of the most eclectic compilations to appear on Ace in recent years. The compilation is a tribute to the Soho pubs that have proved fertile ground for musicians, publishers and general pop-obsessed layabouts. The Dog & Duck specifically was the pub of choice for the Heavenly label, an annexe of the office on Frith Street. When they moved out of Soho this spring they left Soho with a single record company HQ. So
