Civilized Man Music Review

Average Rating: (4 out of 5 stars) 4 stars

4 stars Good Cocker Album!
This is another one of Cocker's long- lost albums which never really saw the light of day. In fact, it's one of his most forgotten. I love many of Joe Cocker's albums and this one is no exception. He gives a riveting, pure soul performance of The Drifters' classic hit "There Goes My Baby", and it has a nice reggae groove. "Long Drag Off A Cigarette" is also a great acoustic number that works very well with Cocker's raspy voice. I even like the title track. Although there are a few tracks on here that aren't too memorable, this is still another very good work from one of music's most distinctive voices.

Mike Garson Mystery Man CD (1990)

Civilized Man album

$12.95

Keyboardist Mike Garson has proven through the years (on his own projects and in his work with Free Flight) that he is a masterful and highly versatile jazz musician. However this CD has only a few months of interest to jazz listeners, chiefly a loose and lighthearted "Brooklyn Blues" (which features an unusual trio consisting of Garson, altoist Eric Marienthal and cellist Greg Gottlieb) and a relatively straightahead duet with bassist Brian Bromberg on "Without a Song." Otherwise the ...

Faces Nod Is As Good As A Wink... To A Blind Horse CD (1971)

Civilized Man music CDs

$6.15

When this was released in 1971, the Faces also released LONG PLAYER (following the dropping of "Small" from the band's name) and frontman Rod Stewart released the seminal EVERY PICTURE TELLS A STORY. The three-album output was especially remarkable for the Faces, as the band was more known for skirt-chasing and carousing than recording music. NOD found the Faces fusing together a grittier blues and soul sound than on past efforts, which were marked by a rather modish sound and Stewart's then-folkier leanings. The group includes enough heartfelt ruminations to add a sentimental edge to the otherwise rip-roaring mix of material. Among the latter class of songs are a shambling cover of Chuck Berry's "Memphis, Tennessee" and "Stay With Me," the Faces' only hit and ...

Joe Cocker One Night Of Sin CD (1989)

Civilized Man songs

$9.45

This followup to Cocker's comeback album (1987's UNCHAIN MY HEART) boasts the same band, the same production team, and the same esthetic approach, i.e. it's a savvy mix of slick late '80s power ballads and cannily chosen cover songs. The latter, not surprisingly, provide the meat of the album. Cocker apparently relates to the sexual paranoia in Leonard Cohen's "I'm Your Man," and he gives it an appropriately volcanic rendering. Even better, he seems to locate a similar feeling of ...

Motorhead No Remorse CDs (1984)

Civilized Man album

$18.59

There have been dozens and dozens of Motörhead compilations released over the decades, but the first one remains definitive, even if it's not perfect. Released in 1984 as a gap-filler -- for Motörhead were regrouping in the wake of the bandmember shuffling that followed the odd Another Perfect Day album -- No Remorse compiled two-dozen songs across two discs (latter-day editions adding a good serving of bonus tracks, too). Many of the band's best songs to date are here, like "Ace of Spades," "Stay Clean," "Overkill," "Bomber," and "Iron Fist." There are also four new recordings that were cut exclusively for No Remorse: "Killed by Death," "Snaggletooth," "Steal Your Face," and "Locomotive." These four songs were cut by the newly instated four-piece lineup that would go on to record Orgasmatron (1986): guitarists Michael Burston and Phil Campbell, drummer Peter Gill, and of course, bassist/vocalist Lemmy. These new recordings make No Remorse more than a standard greatest-hits package, as do the number of stray recordings compiled here as well. For starters, No Remorse rounds up "Please Don't Touch" and "Emergency," which were released on a 1981 split EP with Girlschool, St. Valentines Day Massacre. It also rounds up an early single ("Louie, Louie") as well as a pair of B-sides ("Too Late, Too Late" and "Like a Nightmare") and a tossed-about live cover "Leaving Here." ...

Angels Of Light We Are Him CD (2007)

Civilized Man CD music

$12.79

WE ARE HIM, the fifth long-player from Angels of Light, is wholly uncategorizable, and features Gira chasing far-flung muses from Beefheart stomps ("My Brother's Man") to dirgy semi-ragas ("Promise of Water"), to almost traditional pop ("Good Bye Mary Lou.") The constants throughout are delicate arrangements, odd structures, and Gira's mesmerizingly laconic baritone. There are familiar touchstones here--synth-era Leonard Cohen and Nick Cave's solo work to name two--but Gira is an original and WE ARE HIM is weird American noir that sounds like nothing else on earth. Michael Gira continued to atone for years of fronting the loudest ...

Coliseum No Salvation CD (2007)

Civilized Man music CDs

$11.39
Mixing the ferociousness of hardcore and the grind of extreme metal, Coliseum should equally appeal to fans of each style (something becoming more and more common circa the early 21st century) as evidenced by their 2007 release No Salvation. Hailing from the not-exactly-heavy metal hotbed of Louisville, KY, the trio specializes in a seemingly non-stop onslaught of noise loaded with hardcore howling, seemingly always on the move guitar lines, and bash-heavy drumming that would transform the average kit into a pile of ash. As with most similarly styled groups, you can instantly tell Coliseum has ties ...

Nancy Elizabeth Battle And Victory CD (2007) (Import) United Kingdom

Civilized Man songs

$14.65

After releasing a few singles under her somewhat non-euphonious full name of Nancy Elizabeth Cunliffe, this young singer/songwriter from the village of Wigan in the north of England makes her full-length debut under her Christian name only. Nancy Elizabeth will gain immediate and widespread comparison to Joanna Newsom, because alongside her many other instruments (acoustic guitar, harmonium, dulcimer, etc.), she plays a small Celtic harp on much of Battle and Victory. However, Cunliffe is a much less affected vocalist ...
