| | Pamela Rose You Could Have It All CD Pamela Rose Discography of CDs
Pamela Rose has returned to her blues/R&B side for her third release with a program of red beans and rice, chitlins', and greens -- tunes all of which Rose wrote in collaboration with someone else, mostly Jeff Ervin. The R&B, bluesy surrounding is given credibility by the instrument that is the bulwark of that genre, the Hammond B3 organ, played by Tony Stead. But there's plenty of help from the dripping guitars of Carl Lockett and Danny Caron and the honking tenor and baritone saxophones of Ervin and Johnny Bamont, recalling the likes of Heywood Henry, Leslie Johnakins, and Buddy Lucas, who regularly accompanied the best of the singers of this type of music. Rose has that pleading, catch-in-the-voice style that makes R&B funk work to its best advantage. She uses these devices to advantage on her uncomplicated, earthy tales of romance, unrequited love, and other day-to-day situations which R&B describes best. There is no doubt of the high level of Rose's performance and the way she has taken to the blue-tinged material. She is wise enough to offer a break or two from the doleful material. In fact, one of the best tracks on the CD is a swinging "Wake Up," where she demands that people get off the couch, away from the TV screen, and "Drop the mouse/Leave the house/Come on, get out and make a scene." This track is also noted for some exiting but loose ensemble playing. You Could Have It All offers just the right blend of the melancholy side of the blues with the more upbeat side of that genre performed by outstanding musicians. This is an album you'll want for both the vocalizing and the instrumentalists. ~ Dave Nathan

"'If we survive the fall', they sing in the last line, "we could have it all.'"

You Could Have It All music CDs
$8.69 On his second album for the Concord Jazz label, guitarist Robben Ford stays pretty much to the formula of Blue Moon from 2001. He concentrates on playing, singing, and covering great songs (and even writes a few) with interesting arrangements, inspired solos, and crisp, clean production that lets the song shine through the players. Much has been made of Ford's eclecticism and that is reflected in his choice of material here, though he never strays from the blues or R&B into jazz or fusion. Ford's selection ...

You Could Have It All songs
$18.19 We are going on a journey. It’s a journey of the mind, and of the spirit...a journey into samsara...bliss. As incense fills the air you find yourself drifting off into a deep slumber. Your eyelids grow heavy as day turns into twilight, and evening fills the air. You begin to dream as the real world fades into the distance and the veil of darkness lifts to reveal a glorious and wondrous place you’ve never seen before. You are startled at first, and then gaze upon this new place like a child with their favorite toy. You hear a sound in the distance... chanting, drumming, flutes, tamboura, sitar...you are slowly transformed. You imagine yourself sitting on a lotus blossom hovering over the sacred waters of a distant and long forgotten sea. You are Tara, goddess mother, embodiment of compassion. You have appeared from the Akasa, aether, space...Arupa to Rupa...formless to form. Kali, keeper of time, has sent you on this journey through the cosmic ripples of dimensional space. You have appeared out of the wisdom of the ages to speak Satya...truth...to all who will open their hearts, minds, and spirits. There is a tranquil yet warm feeling in the air...one of peace, beauty ...
