| | Frank Christian Mister So And So CD Frank Christian Discography of CDs
Nothing becomes a legend more than anonymity, and that's just what Frank Christian had before his belated (official) recorded debut in the '90s. Making up for lost time, he soon began releasing albums at a regular clip, showing the rest of the world what his cult following had known for years--that his guitar, voice, and pen were mighty instruments worthy of close attention.
While there are several strong original compositions here, including the sinister-sounding "Gary's Blues" and rollicking plaint "Can't You Believe Me," Christian's gift as an interpreter is more prominently displayed here than on previous efforts. He slips from the pastoral folkiness of Gordon Lightfoot's "Did She Mention My Name" to the decadent artsong of Jaques Brel's "Port of Amsterdam" without missing a beat. It's this eclecticism that informs his guitar and vocal work as well, making him a truly well-rounded artist.

| | Dirty Three In The Fishtank CD (2004) Extended Play
Mister So And So CD music
$9.65 In late 1999, the Dutch label KonKurrent invited Minneapolis band Low into an in-house studio to record one of the label's near-legendary In the Fishtank sessions; bands have two days to record between 20-30 minutes of all new material of their choosing. Also touring at the time were Low's pals, the Australian instrumental dynamos the Dirty Three. Low invited them in, and in the same collaborative spirit as another In the Fishtank session involving Tortoise and the Ex, this half-hour session is the document. What is truly amazing about this hookup is how natural these two bands sound playing with ...
| | Harold Mabern Few Miles From Memphis CD (1968)
Mister So And So music CDs
$14.15 On A Few Miles from Memphis, recorded by pianist Harold Mabern in 1968, he's joined by tenors George Coleman and Buddy Terry, bassist Bill Lee, and drummer Walter Perkins for a bluesy, rhythm-filled set featuring familiar fare like "A Treat for Bea" and fun originals like "Walkin' Back." There's also the odd inclusion of "There's a Kind of Hush," a pop song that comes out sounding like an old standard here. ~ Ronnie D. Lankford Jr.
When record labels like Prestige release two albums on one CD, it's a great bargain for music fans. A Few Miles from Memphis combines the album of the same name and Rakin' and Scrapin', both recorded by pianist Harold Mabern ...
| | Solomon Burke That's Heavy Baby 1971-1973 CD (2005) (Import) Australia
Mister So And So songs
$19.99 Raven presents the very best of Solomon Burke's recordings for MGM in the 1970s, many on CD for the first time. A pioneering soul singer, Burke's powerful voice and fervent emotionality were much-admired through the 1960s. At MGM, with arranger Gene Page, Solomon deftly crafted a commercial and contemporary sound - both urban pop ballads and rhythmic hymns to black empowerment, all framed around his impassioned ...
| | Ike & Tina Turner Nutbush City Limits/Feel Good CD (2006) Bonus Tracks
Mister So And So album
$17.75 Raven's 2006 two-fer Nutbush City Limits/Feel Good combines two of Ike & Tina Turner's last albums together and adds five bonus tracks, three of which were taken from other Ike & Tina albums from the early '70s, one taken from a Tina solo record, and one disco mix of "Nutbush City Limits." The album that arrives first on this two-fer was actually the last of these two to be released: Nutbush City Limits appeared in 1973, a year after Feel Good, but its title track is one of Ike & Tina's best-known songs so it's an appropriate choice to kick off this disc. Besides, the two records are ...

Countdown Records existed between 1985 and 1987 and served as one of the cornerstones of the mod revival in England. Financed by the legendary Stiff Records, Countdown is probably best-known (if remembered at all) as the home of Makin' Time, the first band of Martin Blunt of the Charlatans. Indeed, there are three tracks by them included among the 23 ...
