The follow-up to a comeback is a crucial release. It determines whether an act will be able to maintain its restored status or fade back to the oldies circuit. The Doobie Brothers surprised many observers when they re-formed the early-'70s edition of the band in 1989 and returned to the winner's circle with the gold-selling Cycles and its Top Ten hit single, "The Doctor." Brotherhood, however, suggests that that success had more to do with the anticipation of longtime fans than a sustained relevance to the music of the early '90s. Teaming with Jerry Lynn Williams, author of the 1985 Eric Clapton hit "Forever Man," on three tracks, the Doobies sound like a number of other veteran performers, as well as their earlier selves. The Williams co-written "Is Love Enough" borrows the basic riff of Stevie Wonder's "Superstition"; "Under the Spell" recalls Journey in places; and "This Train I'm On" has a slide guitar part straight out of the Allman Brothers Band's "Ain't Wastin' Time No More." When they aren't impersonating another arena rock band, the Doobies are impersonating the Doobies, however. Consider the subject matter: Songs like "Divided Highway," "This Train I'm On," and "Rollin' On" (which is about a river) ape the travel metaphors previously used in such Doobies oldies as "Rockin' Down the Highway," "Long Train Runnin'," and "Black Water." Maybe that will reassure old fans, but the challenge for the Doobies in 1991 is not only to retain its existing audience, but also to attract a new one. Capitol may have hoped that the Williams-penned ballad "Our Love" would do that, but AOR radio latched onto the '70s-style arena rock of "Dangerous" instead. The result was that the album disappointed, and the reunited Doobie Brothers had to depend on road work. ~ William Ruhlmann

This ad hoc instrumental quartet is a supergroup of sorts. Comprised of immensely talented jazz and jazz fusion veterans (bassist Rob Wasserman, drummer Jeff Sipe, and T Lavitz on keyboards) it is spearheaded by guitarist Craig Erickson. He writes all the material, takes the most solos, acts as producer, and put the project together. Although released in 2005, it's a knowing throwback to the jazz-rock fusion of '70s acts such as Jeff Beck, John Scofield, Return to Forever, Allan Holdsworth, Dixie Dregs (of which Lavitz was a member), and any number of similar acts that generally favored instrumental dexterity over the compositional and melodic. It's a solid, incredibly well played album that suffers mostly from a lack of identity; basically, this could ...

Brotherhood
$15.99
Thanks to the chance meeting of translation student Virna Lindt and Compact label guru Tot Taylor on a train, as the liner notes to the reissue of Shiver explain, Lindt and Compact first made its mark with the nervy John Barry-meets-new wave mania of "Attention Stockholm," the single which also leads off her debut album as a whole. Spy atmospherics permeate the album and not just in sound -- thus song titles like "The Dossier on Virna Lindt" and "Letter to Sergei." But while Lindt and her musical collaborators (led by Taylor, credited among other things with playing "Bond guitars") are definitely enamored of a mythical jet-set past where dapper ...

In 1966, following the footsteps of the American Folk & Blues Festival, a slew of the country's finest traditional folk and bluegrass musicians traveled through Europe to give listeners across the pond a taste of U.S. musical history. All captured on this two-disc set, Ralph Stanley & the Clinch Mountain Boys, Roscoe Holcomb, the New Lost City Ramblers and others do their best to spread the sound of heart-and-soul American roots music to the rest of the world. The tunes are interspersed with commentary from some of the performers for added context.
Horst Lippmann and Fritz Rau began organizing their American Blues and Jazz Festivals in 1962, bringing to Europe American blues and jazz players for a series of successful ...
