| | Lisa Loeb Firecracker CD - Import Lisa Loeb Discography of CDs
All tracks have been digitally mastered using HDCD technology.
FIRECRACKER was nominated for the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical.
The Japanese edition of Loeb's sophomore album includes an exclusive bonus track.
You remember, don't you? The impossibly winsome girl with the tortoise-shell specs who staged a bloodless coup on MTV thanks to a strategically-placed cut on the REALITY BITES soundtrack? The one who shamelessly pledged allegiance to Olivia Newton John and endeared herself to every teenage girl with a diary full of subversive secrets? She's back for a second round of radio-friendly alterna-pop on FIRECRACKER. Loeb earned a Grammy nomination for her last effort, and a legion of fans who will find this album full of the same sparkly pop-rock confections they gobbled up so avidly on the gold-certified TAILS.
Japanese release of her 2nd full-length. Includes an exclusive bonus track.
Recorded at 52nd St. Digital, Clinton Recording Studios, Avatar Studios and Juan's Apartment, New York, New York; Dreamland, Woodstock, New York; Groovemasters Studio, Santa Monica, California.
Personnel includes: Lisa Loeb (vocals, acoustic & electric guitars); Tony Berg, Mark Spencer (guitar); David Gresham (clarinet); Juan Patino (piano, vibraphone, drums, tambourine, bongos, shaker, triangle, loops, background vocals); Leland Sklar, Joe Quigley, Trent Hellerstein (bass); John Robinson, Ronny Crawford (drums); Shawn Colvin (background vocals).
Rolling Stone (11/27/97, p.110) - 2.5 Stars (out of 5) - "...disappointing....staid arrangements and lackluster riffs. Loeb's songwriting and delivery haven't aged as much as she apparently thinks they have, either..."
Spin (2/98, p.103) - 5 (out of 10) - "...Record companies don't know what to do with talented, smart indie girls with guitars....Problem is, Loeb was a bit of a pale indie-imitation from the start: like her debut TAILS, FIRECRACKER is underwhelming and middlebrow, overproduced and pointlessly moody..."
Entertainment Weekly (11/14/97, p.92) - "...Loeb's earnest confessionals are melodically attractive, but the album's chilly, relentlessly polite musical approach is at odds with the artist's soul-baring lyrical stance..."

Purchase Firecracker CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | John Mayer Battle Studies CD (2009)
Firecracker album
 $11.18   
It's no secret that John Mayer is a 21st Century Fox, wining and dining women all through tabloid headlines, so it's about time he delivered an album that traded upon his loverman persona -- and Battle Studies is that record in spades. Retaining more than a modicum of the slick, soul-blues undertones of Continuum, Mayer fashions a modern groove album, a record that maintains a smooth seductive vibe so thoroughly it spills into a one-man band cover of "Crossroads." Mayer remains somewhat of a disciple of Slowhand, but he shows an unusual interest in the big AOR stylings of Journeyman, along with Stevie Ray Vaughan's In Step, creating a coolly clean blend of synths and Strats, one that's as much about texture as it is about song.something perfectly appropriate for a make-out album like this. Sometimes, ...
| | Tom Petty Live Anthology CDs (2009)
Firecracker CD music
$19.34
It's a commonly held opinion among fans and band alike that Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers' lone live album, 1986's Pack Up the Plantation, didn't quite capture the group at its peak, so there has been a long-standing need for another live set, which 2009's Live Anthology finally provides. Like its closest cousin, Bruce Springsteen's Live 1975-1985, Live Anthology almost overcompensates for the long wait by offering almost too much music, cherrypicking highlights from 1978 to 2007. In its simplest incarnation, Live Anthology is a super-affordable, four-disc ...

Lou Reed never struck anyone as one of the happiest guys in rock & roll, so some fans were taken aback when his 1984 album New Sensations kicked off with "I Love You, Suzanne," a catchy up-tempo rocker that sounded a lot like a pop tune. After reaffirming his status as ...

Firecracker music CDs
$20.19
"I think Doug Montgomery is one of the finest and most entertaining pianists I have ever heard!" -ARNOLD PALMER "In the celebrated Rhapsody in Blue by George Gershwin, the triumph was for American pianist Doug Montgomery. His natural feeling, idiomatic sound, and fluency in jazz were purely expressed on an impeccably classical base. His way of playing the piano is undeniably American, rich in vitality and loose. A pianist who is brilliant and appealing in many ways, Montgomery has successfully married two diverse musical cultures; American and European." -IL LAVORO, GENOA, ITALY "Doug Montgomery's playing possesses a seductive variety of touches and colors. He enraptures us with his interpretation." -LE SOIR, BRUSSELS, BELGIUM "Doug Montgomery plays with compelling intensity, sensitivity and energy."-EL NACIONAL, CARACAS, VENEZUELA "Doug Montgomery is a gifted musician who is equally at home performing Chopin or singing great show tunes. The wondrous part is that he does both with great style, verve and talent." -MICHAEL FEINSTEIN "You will certainly see his name again." -EL ...

Firecracker CD music
$18.55
Happy Here With You CD Review Written by Drum Media, David Beniuk Wednesday, 25 August 2004 Rob Hirst knew Paul Greene was some kind of musical freak when he walked into the studio to record a song for the Sydney Olympics compilation that Hirst was producing. Greene had run the 400 metres in Atlanta. Hirst, of course, was Midnight Oil's drummer. Since then, they've worked together in Hirst's side-project The Ghostwriters, and as Hirst and Greene on a recent national tour with Ani DiFranco.At the same time, Greene has independently released an EP (The Miles) and album (This Way). Inspired by the likes of the Waifs, he's also packed his life into a van and driven it to all corners of the country. Out of that volume of gigging comes a live release, Happy Here With You.Now, when we say 'freak', we really mean vocal freak. Greene has a stunning voice ...
