| | Motown Mod Fave Raves, Vol. 2 CD
This second -- and long overdue, horribly-titled -- volume in the Motown Mod Fave Raves series issued in Europe has more hits than the first set had, but other than Martha Reeves' "Heat Wave," Shorty Long's ubiquitous "Function at the Junction," the Miracles' "C'mon Do the Jerk," and the Temptations' "(I Know) I'm Losin' You," there are other cuts that don't make the compilation circuit often enough -- Kim Weston's "Helpless," Earl Van Dyke's crushing groover "Soul Stomp," Chris Clark's "From Head to Toe," and Barbara McNair's "You're Gonna Love My Baby" are all welcome additions to the general selection. In all there are 20 cuts, and there's not a weak one in the bunch. Those who are looking for the more up-tempo side of the Motown sound will find this one satisfying. ~ Thom Jurek

$9.58  
I AM. SASHA FIERCE represents another change of pace for Beyoncé. Unlike the relatively streamlined, retro-soul inflected B'DAY, I AM... is a sprawling two-disc set designed to reflect two conflicting sides of Beyoncé's musical personality. The first disc sports reflective, sometimes moody ballads, while the second, attributed to Beyoncé's brash alter ego, Sasha Fierce, is loaded with propulsive dance-floor fillers. Except for this stylistic divide, I AM. pays only nominal attention to its supposed concept, focusing instead on a ...

The goal of Leona Lewis' 2007 debut, Spirit, was to prove that an X Factor winner could be a phenomenon not just in the U.K., but in the rest of the world. The goal of her second album, 2009's Echo, is to prove that success was no fluke, to build upon "Bleeding Love" and turn Lewis into an actual diva. Certainly, Echo in any of its incarnations -- its song listings are tailored for individual markets, with the U.K. getting a cover of Oasis' "Stop Crying Your Heart Out," while the U.S. gets a second song co-written ...

Blues singer Walter Brown had a vocal delivery somewhere between Rubberlegs Williams and Joe Turner. Although his alcoholism and addiction to both narcotics and amphetamines resulted in a break with Jay McShann in 1943, by 1947 Brown was back in the recording studio accompanied by the Jay McShann Quartet -- with Seeward Evans on tenor sax, bassist Percy Gabriel, and legendary Kansas City drummer Jesse Price -- waxing four sides for the Mercury label in Houston, TX. Interestingly, Brown's comparatively sensitive voicings on "Just Thinkin'" sound a lot like McShann's own beautiful vocal style that was destined to flourish decades later. Brown's ...

Motown Mod Fave Raves, Vol. 2 songs
$14.75
In early 2006, the political, sometimes militant, Dead Prez and the 2Pac-affiliated Outlawzcollaborated together for Can't Sell Dope Forever. The relationship between the two groups worked well enough that Dead Prez's Stic.man and the Outlawz's Young Noble decided to do a record together, and what resulted was Soldier 2 Soldier. The theme of war is prevalent throughout the album, which opens and closes with a "Soldiers Prayer," but it's directed towards the struggles in the U.S., as opposed to those abroad. Although it's generally Dead Prez who are associated with political rhymes, Young Noble shows that he's just as capable as Stic.man at delivering provocative lines, and the MCs sound good together, working well off one another. "Tryin' 2 Make a Livin" addresses the problems of the working poor, "Time" talks about the large number of black men in prison, and "Young Black and Just Don't Give A..." describes the black experience in America. These songs, which take a strong stance and aren't afraid of stating things clearly ("What if I came to your residence/Put you on a slave ship/Shipped you and your family to a whole 'nother continent/Then made you work for free?" they ask on "How U Like That?"), show off the talents and ...

Motown Mod Fave Raves, Vol. 2 album
$14.35 
Of all British rock's least enviable exports, the national predilection for faceless pop stars -- light of ideas, big on gimmicks, and short of substance -- has always baffled Anglophiles, even as the Anglos themselves send them rocketing chartwards. In the mid-'70s, Tina Charles was certainly the reigning queen of such creations, a sub-disco pop diva who, though she never dented a chart stateside, took six singles into her native Top 30. This, her 1976 debut album, was titled for the positively enormous number one hit that launched that sequence. ...
