| | Casey Kasem Presents America's Top 10: 1970'S CD
Like most of the decade-based installments in Casey Kasem's America's Top 10 series, this set has its hands full with the genre-flooded charts of 1970s pop. But while most retrospectives would include just a few hits surrounded by hit-or-miss filler, Top 10 is crammed with well-known radio favorites, and offers a nice cross-section of the decade's disparate sounds. There's bombastic album rock from Foreigner ("Feels Like the First Time") and the Guess Who ("American Woman"), light funk in the form of Rufus and Chaka Khan's "Tell Me Something Good," and perennial favorites from heavyweights like Fleetwood Mac ("Don't Stop"), and Rod Stewart ("Maggie May"). '70s soft rock is represented by Seals and Crofts' classic "Diamond Girl," as well as the rakish, blue-eyed soul of the early Hall and Oates hit "Rich Girl." The delightful oddities department is represented well by the starstream art rock of Gary Wright's "Dream Weaver," as well as Nilsson's classically melodramatic interpretation of "Without You." Top 10's booklet includes liner notes and artist photos. ~ Johnny
Includes liner notes by Merrill Shindler.

If you took Revolver, Pet Sounds, the first Cheap Trick album, and all three studio albums by Iggy & The Stooges, threw 'em in a blender and set it on "grind," then you'd have a pretty good idea of what Kiss Me Screaming sounds like. Then there's what they're singing about, which is another matter entirely. Kiss Me Screaming is just a little bit different, and this is good. Fronted ...

A stylistic chameleon, the nimble convections of Xavier's are held together by his phenomenal guitar work. Whether lush and pretty 12-string acoustic strumming, or acid lead electric, there is a palpable sense that it's all coming from the imagination of one man. On Ghost Story, Xavier has opted for a more balls-out rock approach to his music. He has split his head wide open to let all the demons loose, and they explode in innumerable directions with shards of musical references to just about everyone in the pop/rock lexicon. Most notable is the Jethro Tull influence on "Wily Creilly," abut it won't take too careful a listen to identify hat-tipping to White Album-era Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, and Nirvana. The musician wallows shamelessly in the grunge gutter on "Enter the Drag Queen," a track so hard and so loud, it would undoubtedly get 3 thumbs up from Beavis and Butthead. All of this works remarkably well, establishing an interesting future for rock & roll (now in its forties and going through a midlife crisis) without abandoning its best influences. Industrial-strength angst has been wrung from a troubled subconscious and laid tunefully at our feet. On "Ruffian on the Stairs," it sounds like Xavier is singing through suffocation as a mean and twisted cocksure master before switching his point of view to the sexual servant. The contrast of punk with urbane rock is theatrical, attention-grabbing, and another example that even in its sagging middle years, rock can be made interesting and alluring in the right hands. ~ Will Grega
"Ghost Story" (Bloodfish ZYZ 1618): The seconde album from hard hitting drummer Rich Hutchins and singersonger Phideaux Xavier. "Ghost Story" is firmly placed in the "classic" rock sound of the 70s but from a more current perspective. Darker and heavier than the previous ("Fiendish"), "Ghost Story" maintains the same precision production ...
