Parring down their previously expansive rock sound, Ireland's Hothouse Flowers perform as an intimate three-piece on BORN. tracks include "Forever More" and "You Can Love Me Now."

Five years after delivering Songs from the Rain, Hothouse Flowers returned from a self-imposed exile with Born. During their time off, Liam O'Maonlai had a side-project with Tim Finn called ALT, but that group's boozy charm is nowhere to be heard on Born. Instead, the group has scaled back, losing saxophonist Leo Barnes and drummer Jerry Fehily, and crafted a solid record quite similar to their Van Springsteen early records. They take an ill-advised stab at post-grunge, but the remainder of the album proves that they're at their best when they stick to the familiar, and while they offer no new revelations, Born nevertheless finds the group coming back to life with panache. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Reissue of 1998 release from Irish band featuring the charismatic vocalist Liam O'Maonlai. Discovered bu U2's Bono, Hothouse Flowers come across as a more down to earth, rootsy U2.10 tracks including 'You Can Love Me Now', 'Turn Up The Verb', 'Forever More' & 'Born'. Standard jewelcase.

Average Rating: (3 out of 5 stars) 3 stars

3 stars Sounds in Reverse.....
I am a huge fan of Hothouse Flowers music and have every thing they have done but waited to get "Born" until just recently. It sounds like most other soft rock bands with tunes that are completely generic. The lyrics are even more generic and juvenile and are similar to too many other bands that blur together. Liam has one of the most beautiful voices I have ever heard but on "Born" you don't even really get to enjoy his vocals due to the muddy rock sound that obscures it.

Allman Brothers Band Dreams CDs  (1989) Box Set

Born album
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 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. ...

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

Born CD music
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 Twice," "C'mon," "Kind Woman," "From the Inside," "A Good Feelin' to Know," "Crazy Eyes," and on and on, this is wonderful music, ahead of its time in many ways. If Poco had arrived on the scene in the early '90s, they would have been kings of the country charts. Of course, without Poco, country music wouldn't have taken on the rock trappings that it did in the '80s and '90s. As it was, the band was considered too country for the Top 40 rock format of the time, and too rock & roll for country radio. This set is the place to start for an appreciation of the original Poco, when the group was considered to be Richie Furay's band. All the ingredients are here that made their music so delightful: the trademark high-vocal harmonies; Rusty Young's pedal steel guitar wizardry; Furay's patented juxtapositions of sad ...

Doors Legacy: The Absolute Best CDs  (1967)

Born album
CD $19.79  4.7 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
Recorded between 1967 & 1983. Includes liner notes by Jim Ladd. Released to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the release of the first Doors album, THE VERY BEST OF THE DOORS supercedes all former Doors compilations. At two discs and 34 tracks, this is quite comprehensive for a band whose key lineup released only half a dozen albums. In addition to all the expected hits like "Light My Fire," "Hello I Love You," and "Roadhouse Blues," this compilation delves much deeper into the catalogue with fan favorites such as "Not To Touch the Earth" and "Wishful Sinful," as well as a handful of previously obscure rarities. Remastered and newly remixed by original engineer Bruce Botnick and the surviving members of the Doors, THE VERY BEST OF THE DOORS is a solid tribute to the band. The first Doors album was an important development in the evolution of rock, representing the dark underbelly of the '60s counterculture, the Jekyll to the Beatles/Beach Boys' Hyde. The Doors were the antithesis of windblown Californian pop. Dark, brooding and alienated, every element of the quartet's metier was unveiled on their debut album. In Jim Morrison they posessed one of rock's authoritative voices, ...
