| | Yule B' Swingin' Too! CD
A hoppin' visit from Saint Nick via some of his happier elves, Yule B Swingin' Too is the second release in a series of vocal jazz holiday albums from Hip-O Records. Having released some real classics on the first volume, this edition suffers a little, but several tracks really shine: Ann Margaret and Al Hirt's take on "Baby It's Cold Outside" is a light and funny duet, and Billie Holiday's "I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm" lasts as one of the great interpretations of the song. All of these tracks have been previously released during the '40s, '50s, and early '60s, but having them all on one CD makes for certain holiday listening enjoyment. ~ Zac Johnson

I Don't Want to Lose You Baby was Chad & Jeremy's fourth new album to be released within 14 months, which may help to explain the thinness of the material. Van McCoy contributed another Top 40 hit in the somewhat overwrought title track, and the duo went back to Rodgers & Hammerstein for a singles chart entry with the ballad "I Have Dreamed" from The King and I. Elsewhere, the catalogs of American folkies (Bob Dylan, Phil Ochs) were once again plundered. Clearly, it was time for Chad & Jeremy to re-assess their musical direction, a fact the album's disappointing sales performance only underscored. ~ William Ruhlmann

"Here In Angola," "Pandora," and "Indian Summer" were originally released on the LP INDIAN SUMMER.
24 CARROTS is folk-rocker Al Stewart's 1980 album, recorded with Shot in the Dark. This reissue features five bonus tracks, "Here in Angola", "Indian Summer", "Pandora", "Delia's Gone", and "Princess Olivia".
The pun of the title of 24 Carrots -- the first overt signal of humor Al Stewart has displayed in years, possibly ever -- illustrates that a lot has changed since 1978's Time Passages. The loosening of ...

This is a hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD players.
With a title like Vibrate, it would seem that the Manhattan Transfer had filled their first studio disc in four years with jazzy and exciting vocal workouts intended to shake the speakers. But the title is a bit misleading as Vibrate is one of their most subdued and elegant recordings, and one that harks back to the days of Mecca for Moderns where pop tangents were part of their repertoire. With an arrangement that remains fairly intact from the Brenda Russell original, "Walkin' in New York" begins the disc with a summery sidewalk swagger that sets the relaxed tone of the disc. Two successful Rufus Wainwright covers follow as the Transfer take "Greek Song" globe-hopping through the Middle East via Hawaii and then spin down to Brazil for a beautiful tango-inspired version of "Vibrate." On past recordings they have covered contemporary pop with mixed results, often sounding staid or forced, as on 1983's Bodies and Souls, but the chamber pop of Wainwright is a perfect fit for their vocal style. The tribalistic experiment of "First Ascent" bristles with harmonies and rhythms from musical lands rarely tread upon while a remake of the Beach Boys' "Feel Flows" abandons the original's psychedelic pop for a more soulful arrangement. Oddly enough, as their pop tendencies flourish on Vibrate, their more typical jazz tracks tend to sound like misfits. "Doodlin'" and "Embraceable You" are immaculately performed but lack the personality and depth found in the disc's pinnacle moment, "The New JuJu Man (Tutu)." This stunning vocalese recitation of the infamous Miles Davis ...

First I wanted to be a guitar player; Jimi Hendrix was on the wall above my bed, next to Jim Morrison. The funny thing is that my first record was Saturday Night Fever, and then I started listening to The Best of B.B. King. Years later, no matter what kind of music I played, people would say my voice is very soulful and bluesy, comparing me often to Van Morrison or Eric Clapton...Twenty-five years later, my computer knowledge is still basic, but thanks to Mac & Garage Band, I've managed to record this album all by myself. My other albums are also home-made in various home-studios, and this one turned out to be the most cost effective. Needless to tell the tale about the starving artist and so on...There's an interesting ...
