The 12 songs on this album are of surprising interest, though you'd have to look hard to see why amid the plethora of latter-day Bill Haley material on the market. Later in his career, Haley cut any number of live and studio recordings, re-creating his '50s hits which have been repackaged countless times, but Mister Rock 'N' Roll is made up of a dozen of the sides that he cut for Mexico's Orfeon label during the mid-'60s, when he and his band were still arguably near their prime and before they were relegated to the oldies circuit. These tracks have also been little heard in the United States (they're not even represented on either of the two Bill Haley boxes from Bear Family Records), and completists have every reason to at least hear them. The band here is pretty solid; in addition to Haley on vocals and rhythm guitar, Frannie Beecher is present on lead guitar, Johnny Grande on accordion, Billy Williamson on steel guitar, and Rudy Pompilli on saxophone. Beecher's lead playing is always interesting and is particularly worthwhile on "ABC Boogie," where he takes off on a brief jazz flight on what is otherwise one of Haley's more lugubrious numbers. A horn section is present on a few of the tracks, but mostly not obtrusively so, and most of this record is just the band playing what amounts to a pretty tight set. The sound has been processed through the CEDAR noise-reduction system and the result is a clean CD, and one at least worth consideration by serious fans (though the ready availability of Haley's classic Decca sides makes Mister Rock 'N' Roll sort of superfluous). ~ Bruce Eder

Mister Rock 'N' Roll album
 $14.45   
After the dark and chilling themes of 2006's BLACK CADILLAC, which saw Rosanne Cash dealing with the deaths of her mother, Vivian Liberto, her father, Johnny Cash, and her stepmother, June Carter Cash -- all of whom passed within a two-year span -- one might assume that her next project would move into an even deeper level of bleakness, but with THE LIST, it's immediately clear that she has instead found a more measured place to stand. It's a lovely and redemptive outing that looks back to go forward. When Cash turned 18, her father, alarmed that his daughter only knew the songs that were getting played on the radio, gave her a list of what he considered 100 essential American songs; Cash kept that list, and now she's drawn on it for this wonderfully nuanced outing that brims with a kind of redemptive timelessness. THE LIST is a renewal and a testament to life, and it belongs to her father as much as it ...
| | Them Crooked Vultures CD (2009)
Mister Rock 'N' Roll CD music
$13.05 
Often, supergroups wind up dominated by one particular personality - think Eric Clapton in Derek & the Dominos, Jack White in the Raconteurs -- which makes the egalitarianism of Them Crooked Vultures all the more remarkable. Of course, when it comes down to it, it's a group of three natural-born collaborators: John Paul Jones, the old studio pro who gravitated toward provocative partners after Led Zeppelin's demise, teaming up with R.E.M. as easily as he did with avant-queen Diamanda Galas and nu-folkster Sara Watkins; Dave Grohl, who hopped into an empty drummer's chair whenever the opportunity presented itself; and Josh ...
| | Avett Brothers I And Love And You CD (2009)
Mister Rock 'N' Roll music CDs
$11.25 
North Carolina sibling duo the Avett Brothers return in 2009, fresh off a few years of building a cult following for its melodic and rootsy alt-bluegrass sound, with the subdued I AND LOVE AND YOU. The opening single and title track basks in piano-pop splendor in an odd mix of Beach Boys, Byrds, and the Band.
The Avett Brothers continue charting the same musical course as EMOTIONALISM and MIGNONETTE on major-label debut I AND LOVE AND YOU, despite the presence of hands-on producer Rick Ruben. The country-folk duo continue to add elements of pop and hillbilly rock to a country/bluegrass foundation on the 2009 LP, a record with a newfound emphasis on piano and nuanced arrangements. Working ...

Mister Rock 'N' Roll music CDs
$10.45 
Long May You Run is not a Neil Young solo album. It is credited to "The Stills-Young Band," which is to say, Stephen Stills and his band with Young added, and the two divide up the songwriting and lead vocals, five for Young, four for Stills. The pairing, though it proved short-lived and had, in fact, ended before this album was released, must have seemed commercially logical. Like Young, Stills had seen his record sales decline after a successful period following the 1970 breakup of CSNY. So had erstwhile partners David Crosby and Graham Nash, but they had returned to ...

Mister Rock 'N' Roll CD music
$9.99
Sometimes a picture really is worth a thousand words. Take for example the photo from the inner booklet of NO SHOES, NO SHIRT, NO PROBLEMS that features contemporary country star Kenny Chesney resplendent in cowboy hat and tie-dye T-shirt emblazoned with a Beatles lyric. That one image tells you a lot about Chesney's music. Though he's got the requisite amount of twang a la his Nashville contemporaries, he has an undeniable pop-rock sensibility as well. You can hear it in everything from the classic pop "whoo-hooh" background vocals on the opening track "Young" to the crunchy guitars on "Live ...
