Robin and Linda Williams make a chancy move on their latest album by opening with a cornerstone from the Carter Family's canon, "I'll Twine 'Mid the Ringlets" (aka "Wildwood Flower"). Unlike the original, the pace is slackened to give the deep emotion of the song room to breathe. The pace, combined with Linda Williams' sensitive vocal, gives this classic a fresh face. Interestingly, the Williams concentrate on covering other artist's songs this time around. Taking turns on vocals and accompanied by spare, tasteful arrangements, they survey great songwriters like Hank Williams, Merle Haggard, and Bruce Springsteen. As with "I'll Twine 'Mid the Ringlets," Linda's version of "Hungry Eyes" and Robin's "Ramblin' Man" slow the pace, allowing room to concentrate on soulful vocals. Linda trades pure folk for the jazzy flavors of Tin Pan Alley pop on "Wasting My Time, Wasting My Love on You" and the album ends on the solemn notes of "If I Should Fall Behind," a song that takes on a personal note when sung by a married couple. While the selection of material is fine, a certain sameness in style and approach makes one wish that the Williams would let their hair down and kick out the acoustic jams now and again. It's as though their careful craftsmanship removes the spark necessary to bring these tunes to life. Fans of past efforts, however, will appreciate the duo's eclectic choice of covers and their professional approach on Visions of Love. ~ Ronnie D. Lankford, Jr.

Visions Of Love
$19.99
Raven presents for the first time on CD two of the finest US "outlaw country" albums ever made. "11 Months & 29 Days" was much more than the length of (one of) Johnny Paycheck's sentences for lawless behaviour. Recorded for Columbia in 1976 it marked a turning point for the singer dubbed "one of the greatest honky tonkers of his time". It and 1977's "Slide Off Of Your Satin Sheets", defined a new era in country music that reverberates with contemporary artists to this day. With five bonus tracks from Paycheck's stunning tribute to Merle Haggard Mr. Hag Told My Story this top value 2-for-1 captures the distinctive voice of a rebellious and influential country artist at the peak of his craft. Superb quality audio, 25 tracks, over 75 minutes of music with detailed liner notes and period photographs.
2 LPs on 1 CD: 11 MONTHS AND 29 DAYS (1976) / SLIDE OFF YOUR SATIN SHEETS (1977)

Raven's 2006 two-fer of Johnny Paycheck's 1976 11 Months and 29 Days and 1977's Slide Off of Your Satin Sheets is the first time either of these records has reached CD, and such long waits for reissues is common for Paycheck -- and just like Koch's reissues of his early Little Darlin' work, the wait was worth it in this case. These two albums were pivotal for Paycheck, as the first helped create the rowdy, rebel persona that made him a star in the late '70s, while the second actually made him the star. Not that 11 Months and 29 Days is too far removed from the music that he was making just a few years prior to its 1976 release; he was already signed to Epic and already working with Billy Sherrill, who helped polish Paycheck enough for the big 1971 hit "She's All I Got," which almost became a pop crossover tune. The genius of Sherrill is that he was so commercially savvy that he could figure out how to get mavericks like Paycheck onto the charts without diluting their power, and that's especially true with 11 Months and 29 Days, which was considerably rougher than She's All I Got -- there's no attempt at sweetening with strings here, a move on that 1971 effort and on Sherrill's productions for George Jones -- ...
| | Peggy Lee Then Was Then Now Is Now/Bridge Over Troubled Water CD (2008)
Visions Of Love
$14.35
This excellent two-fer from Collectors Choice combines two representative Peggy Lee Capitol LPs from distinct stages in her career. Lee was unique among the 1950s-era popular singers in that she could handle just about any genre--standards, jazz, R&B, blues, film work--with aplomb. Her masterful eclecticism can be heard to advantage on 1965's THAT WAS THEN... which boasts a credible version of the Ray Davies's "I Go To Sleep" (also a '65 hit for Cher) as well as a hip, funky "Seventh Son." The title song is a classy slice of contemporary '60s popcraft co-written by lyricist Lee with composer Cy Coleman. Besides Simon & Garfunkel, 1970's BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER also features a rockin' & rollin' version of Randy Newman's "Have You Seen My Baby?" as well as soulfully sung covers of B.B. King's "The Thrill Is Gone" and countryman Jim Weatherly's "He Used Me," all in addition to two Bacharach-David gems and a beautifully sung "I See Your Face Before Me," the only traditional jazz standard in the set.
In the Peggy Lee discography, half a dozen LPs intervene between Then Was Then, Now Is Now!, originally released in the fall of 1965, and Bridge Over Troubled Water, which appeared four and a half years later in April 1970. The obvious question, then, is why mail-order reissue label Collectors' Choice Music decided in 2008 to license the albums from Capitol Records and reissue them, with a few extra tracks, together on a single CD. The answer, as revealed in the company's marketing materials, turns out to be equally obvious: these happen to be two LPs that somehow never got reissued on CD before. That's not an artistic reason, of course, and in fact the albums don't quite flow together. Then Was Then, Now Is Now! wasn't actually recorded as an album per se. It was really one of those grab-bag LPs assembled by the record company from recently issued singles ("The Shadow of Your Smile," "I Go to Sleep," and "Free Spirits," the last a Top Five easy listening hit) and stray tracks from recording sessions dating back more than two years (though never previously released, "Leave It to Love" had been recorded on May 31, 1963), probably just to have something new by Lee in the record ...
