| | Silver Bells! CD
CEMA Special Markets' Silver Bells: Top Country Stars Sing The Best Of Christmas is an entertaining collection of country-pop holiday tunes culled from the EMI-Capitol vaults. There are no surprises here, but the quality of the songs is uniformly high, which makes Silver Bells! a good bargain for budget-minded contemporary country fans. Among the featured songs are Eddie Rabbitt's "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," Merle Haggard's "Silver Bells," Suzy Bogguss' "The First Noel," Larry Gatlin & the Gatlin Brothers' "The Little Drummer Boy," Tanya Tucker's "What Child is This," Glen Campbell's "O Holy Night" and the Pirates of the Mississippi's "Jingle Bells." ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine Silver Bells!

Silver Bells! album
 $13.49   
The second installment of the Hard to Find 45's series is, like the first, a wide assortment of Top 40 hits, some of them indeed very hard to find on CD or even hear on the radio. Some of them are not really that hard to find on CD, though this disc (like every one in this series) takes pains to present original 45 RPM single versions, often in stereo. Whereas the first volume was devoted to material from 1955-1960, this goes into the next era (1961-1964), and though it's pretty pop-inclined, there's a good deal of diversity. There's doo wop verging on soul by the Stereos ("I Really Do Love You," the Flares' "Foot Stompin'," Clyde McPhatter's "Lover Please"), girl-sung teen idol pop (Little Peggy March's "I Will Follow Him," Marcie Blane's "Bobby's Girl"), the poppiest brand of girl group sounds (the Murmaids' "Popsicles and Icicles," Diane Renay's "Navy Blue," the Caravelles' "You Don't Have to Be a Baby to Cry"), the foreign novelty (Singing Nun's "Dominique"), middle-of-the-road pop (Joe Dowell's "Wooden ...

Frontman and key songwriter Alan Hull is gone, replaced by Billy Mitchell, leaving Rod Clements and Ray Laidlaw from the original group. The resulting album strikes out for a few different stylistic corners, including a strong hint of country, but it never rises up enough to really make any sort of solid impression ...

The Carter Family has probably inspired as many tributes as any country group. Fortunately, Jody Stecher and Kate Brislin's attempt, like Ginny Hawker and Kate Justice's 1999 tribute, is the real thing. Not only do the sing the Carter Family's songs, but they also perform them in the spirit of the originals. This spare and lovingly performed music features Stecher and Brislin taking turns on lead vocals, accompanying themselves on guitars and occasionally mandolin. As far as standouts go on this album, there are so many that it's difficult to know where to begin. Brislin sings a lovely lead on "Bear Creek Blues," backed by Stecher's bluesy guitar work. Her lead on "Dreaming of You Darling" is plaintive and sad, as she sings of her love leaving her for another. Stecher's vocals on "Dark and Stormy Weather" and "Don't Forget This Song" are pure old-time country, delivered in a relaxed, straightforward fashion. Their harmony is occasionally aided by the bass singing of Larry Hanks. The three-part harmony seems just about perfect on religious songs like "Sow Em on the Mountain" and "River of Jordan." These songs are also reminiscent of Stecher's earlier recordings like Going Up on the Mountain" (Larry Hanks also sang on this earlier recording). The liner notes manage to be informative as well as entertaining. Stecher writes about the mystique of the Carter Family, their sometimes odd lyrics and titles ("Away Out on the Old Saint Sabbath"), and discusses the individual song choices for the album. This is a wonderful collection that shows how vital old-time music continues to be. ~Ronnie D. Lankford, Jr.
Twice Grammy-nominated musicians Jody Stecher (vocals, guitar, mandolin) and Kate Brislin (vocals, guitar) make their Appleseed debut with quite possibly their finest recording to date, "Songs of the Carter Family." The Carter Family of southwest Virginia shed new light on older music. Their recordings (1928-1942) made an immeasurable impact on the course of modern country, ...

While Echo & the Bunnymen rarely reached the heights of their 1980s glory days on later releases, albums like 2001's FLOWERS prove they still had plenty of creative juice nine albums into their career. Moody, melodic tunes like "King of Kings" and "Make Me Shine" may lack the angst of OCEAN RAIN-era Echo & the Bunnymen, but the songcraft is as ...

Always looking to try something new, The Drop Band explores many musical styles from straight ahead metal to blues to acoustic rock to the humorous and back again. Guitarist and Drop Band founder Paul Mascott wrote and produced this latest effort after reading a review of his first album asking to hear more of the female vocalist. The result is seven new songs and a new sound for the band.Along with Christine's vocals and Paul's usual guitar madness, John Macaluso (ARK, TNT, Yngwie Malmsteen) contributed drum tracks for the record which was recorded in Uptime Studios (NYC) in 2001. Also appearing on the record are Derek Wieland on bass, Hank Wagner on harmonica and vocals, Lane Sparber on 12-string guitar, and the Drop Band horn section including Dan Yeager on Trumpet, Sergio Bustamante on Saxophone and Nelson Foltz on Trombone.
