Purchase Compact Story CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Allman Brothers Band Dreams CDs (1989) Box Set
Compact Story 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 ...
| | Poco Forgotten Trail (1969-74) CDs (1990)
Compact Story CD music
$15.95 
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 ...

Compact Story CD music
$11.45
Australia's Drones set the American underground on fire with 2005's Wait Long by the River and the Bodies of Your Enemies Will Float By. It is a wily combination of Aussie garage rock, country, psychedelia, and pathological sonic experimentation presented raw and immediate with the poetically strange and storytelling lyrics of frontman Gareth Liddiard. The songs, played with a spiky crackling energy and recklessness, pushed critics to the brink of superlatives in order to describe them. Released in 2006, Gala Mill is named for the rural place in southeast Tasmania where the album was recorded. The Drones are no less on the fringe this time out, and the album's sound is, if possible, even more immediate than its two predecessors. One can hear dogs barking, musicians coughing, and birds singing in and between cuts. And Liddiard is even wordier this time out -- to positive effect.
"Jezebel," the slow, roiling eight-minute opener, is coiled to bust loose at any moment and addresses topics as unrelated as the death of journalist Daniel Pearl in the Middle East, nuclear testing in the Australian homeland, and a school massacre that is infamous in Aussie history. Liddiard refers to world events, history, mythology. Politics, sex, desire, tragedy, and other indecipherable topics are presented side by side as a way of weaving a new series of myths and texts that erupt from the belly of rock & roll. While there may be no direct influence at all, former Aussie rockers Crime & the City Solution fronted by Simon Bonney did the same on their cult gem The Bride Ship in the late '80s. "Dog Eared," with a gorgeous violin played by Michelle Lewitt, feels like Neil Young's "Cortez the Killer" crossed with Nick Cave's Boatman's Call album. The kind of love revealed in this tune is so vulnerable that it becomes abusive. The slow, plodding lyric lines adorned by switchblade guitars and unraveling instrumental passages are infectious and purely Australian -- they feel closer to the strange experimentation the Band did on Stage Fright, but are culturally outside the North American experience and feel closer to Australia's wild country music read through garage rock and post-punk.
Gala Mill gets even slower for the next two cuts, the whispering shambles of "I'm Here Now," about drug addiction -- observing it, not participating in it -- and the truly hunted "Words from the Executioner to Alexander Pearce," about a convict in the 19th century who escaped the Sarah Island Penal Settlement not once but twice, only to be caught the third time after having murdered and eaten six men. This is a gallows pole conversation that is chilling in its close observations of an executioner who seems to care. Spooky? Hell yes. Spiny rock & roll returns in "I Don't Ever Want to Change," with its mutant Chuck Berry leads and open-chorded riffs. Liddiard sprays his anthemic wash of words into the mike ...
| | Red Meat We Never Close CD (2007)
Compact Story music CDs
$11.59
Red Meat's contribution to the Americana universe is to stoke the legendary fires of that old Bakersfield sound, as once done by Buck Owens and Merle Haggard. There are lots of hearty, fiery, twangy guitar leads that call to mind the leads of Don Rich, and there is a whole parcel of honky tonk soul on this record as well. You can also hear those sepia touches of the Stanleys or Carters, and one gets the sense that this group has absorbed their share of latter-day hippy honky tonk revivalists such as the Flying Burrito Brothers. Originality is not a commodity in this form of country music, but attention to tradition is, as well as the ability to find variation within that ode to tradition. Oakland honky tonkers Red Meat have absorbed a wide spectrum of their predecessors, and their country music is not "all hat"; they go ...
