| | Let It Rock 1987 CD - Import
Direct Source's Let It Rock 1987 gathers up 12 songs from that year. The set includes some of the year's biggest hits in a variety of styles. Some of the highlights are the Bangles' exciting cover of Simon & Garfunkel's "A Hazy Shade of Winter," Eddie Money's "I Wanna Go Back," Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam's "Head to Toe," and Crowded House's beautiful "Don't Dream It's Over." Although it is too brief, inexplicably includes two songs by Europe, and leaves out a great deal of what was going on that year, the collection does serve nicely as a low-priced intro to the sounds of 1987. ~ Tim Sendra Let It Rock 1987 Music | List Price | $8.98 (You save $1.49) | | Category | Rock/Pop Albums, Rock CDs, Oldies, 80's | | Label | Direct Source | | Orig Year | 2000 | | CD Universe Part number | 2203500 | | Catalog number | 6531 | | Discs | 1 | | Release Date | May 16, 2000 | | Studio/Live | Studio | | Mono/Stereo | Stereo | | Recording Time | 53 minutes | | Additional Info | Canada |

Let It Rock 1987 album
 $9.58  
Susan Boyle's grand unveiling on Britain's Got Talent was with a song from Les Miserables - the very song that lends this album its title -- and if she could become an international sensation based on a show tune standard, there's no reason for her to change her approach on her debut, since that's the sound that made her a star. Plus, a large part of Boyle's appeal is that she's a middle-aged woman recalling a bygone era when there were singers that appealed to an adult audience by offering soft, stately versions of pop hits and standards. That time was the late `60s and early `70s, and apart from a rather faithful version ...

Let It Rock 1987 album
$13.19
With a sludgy, chainsaw guitar sound that owes as much to early Black Sabbath as to Kurt Cobain's heroes The Melvins, whose drummer puts in an appearance here, Nirvana emerges from Seattle's underground scene as standard-bearers of a style that embraces the anger and energy of punk alongside the thick, muddy sonic attack favored by early '70s proto-metal bands. Cobain's lyrics are fueled by outrage and self-loathing, combining literary flair with a direct, visceral quality that makes him a viable candidate for the John-Lennon-of-Gen X award.

The Folkswingers, a studio-only group comprised of a changeable cast of top Los Angeles session musicians, had issued a couple of instrumental LPs showcasing the 12-string guitar before leaping on the raga-rock bandwagon with Raga Rock in 1966. Give the World Pacific label a little credit, though: at least they jumped on that bandwagon real fast, almost right after the term "raga-rock" was first used. Plus, the record did employ the cream of the cream from the L.A. rock session world, with Hal Blaine on drums; Larry Knechtel on keyboards; Tommy Tedesco, Howard Roberts, and Herb Ellis on guitar; and Lyle Ritz and Bill Pittman on bass. And it did at least have an actual sitar, courtesy of Harihar Rao, leader of Los Angeles' Ravi Shankar Music Circle and director of the Indian Studies Group at UCLA's Institute of Ethnomusicology. It still sounds like what it is: a hastily recorded cash-in album, largely comprised of raga-fied instrumental covers of mid-'60s rock songs by major artists that were much more instrumental rock covers than they were Indian ragas. Some of the tunes were natural selections for this sort of project: the Byrds' "Eight Miles High," the Rolling Stones' "Paint It, Black," and the Beatles' "Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)" were some of the greatest Indian-influenced rock classics ever, and while the Indian influence wasn't as overt on the Yardbirds' "Shapes of Things," it was there. Still, the very idea of raga-rock arrangements of the Association's "Along Comes Mary," the Outsiders' "Time Won't Let Me," Paul Revere & the ...
