| | Isley Brothers Live Hits CD Isley Brothers Discography of CDs
(1 Customer Review)
A peculiar re-packaging of The Isleys Live -- which was originally released on vinyl in 1973 and then reissued on CD in 1996 -- Live Hits is a release on Rhino's budget-line Flashback division. Like all other Flashback releases, the disc is kept to ten tracks, meaning that it does not include all the material featured on the source release. The original release is far more preferable, not only because it is more thorough, but also because it contains the original (and far superior) artwork. Needless to say, the average Isleys collector who already has The Isleys Live will likely feel ripped off -- apart from publishing and copyright dates, there is nothing on the package that indicates the material was released previously. ~ Andy Kellman

| | Johnny Mathis That's What Friends Are For CD (1978)
Live Hits music CDs
$5.19 Also available in 3-pack with YOU LIGHT UP MY LIFE and BETTER TOGETHER: THE DUET ALBUM.
Recorded in 1978. Originally released on Columbia (35435). Includes liner notes by Ellis Widner.
Johnny Mathis and Deniece Williams made a fine team on this collection of sentimental love songs and light pop ballads. They had had previous success on the title track, which had been included on her first release, so they opted for a full session. They had a moderate hit with a cover of "You're All I Need To Get By," and they also reworked Stevie Wonder's "Until You Come Back To Me (That's What I'm Going To Do)." It peaked at Number 19 on the pop chart, and actually proved Williams' most consistent album from a sales standpoint. ~ Ron Wynn
The 1978 duet album That's What Friends Are For was far more of a highlight in Deniece Williams' career than it was in Johnny Mathis'. Nonetheless, it's well-done, lightly likable late-1970s adult contemporary R&B music, the two sparring sweetly and respectfully on ...
| | Edgar Winter Extended Versions CD (2003)
Live Hits songs
$5.95 This album, one of a series under the Extended Versions rubric, is misleadingly named. The implication is that the material on this set of Winter-Derringer hits and bits has been re-recorded in the studio, but actually everything comes from a live performance in Tokyo, Japan. A classic inclusion is the closer, "Frankenstein," Winter's number one hit from 1973 that clocks in at 14:18, along with a cover of the McCoys' (Rick Derringer's first band) 1965 hit "Hang on Sloopy" and Derringer's solo breakthrough hit "Rock & Roll, Hootchie Koo," "Keep Playin' That Rock & Roll," "Free Ride," and "Teenage Love Affair." ~ Adrian Zupp

| | Kid Rock CD (2003) Edited
Live Hits songs
$15.55 Kid Rock's self-titled fourth major-label outing finds him proudly reaffirming his blue-collar roots and love of classic rock and outlaw country music by inviting a bunch of famous friends to join him and his Twisted Brown Trucker Band in kicking out the Detroit-style jams. Any rap nuances are subtle, with turntable scratches sprinkled over the mid-tempo rocker "Rock 'n' Roll Pain Train," a hip-hop cadence pacing "Hillbilly Stomp" (featuring Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top), and the kind of fanfare-laced "Intro" that you'd expect from someone who put out an album entitled COCKY.
Wielding an impressive array of stringed instruments, this Michigan native moves easily from a straightforward reading of Bad Company's "Feel Like Makin' Love" to resurrecting "Hard Night for Sarah," a previously unrecorded song from the Bob Seger archives. Rock's appealing croon not only works well on the aforementioned Seger song, but on the Harry Nilsson-like "Run Off to LA," his reunion with former paramour Sheryl Crow. Otherwise, he's mixing it up with Hank Williams, Jr. on the lascivious "Cadillac Pussy," recasting David Allen Coe's "Son of the South" as the hyper-boogie of "Son of Detroit," and running through the autobiographical anthem "I Am."
Kid Rock gained his fame as a white-trash rapper, but he retained his fame as a white-trash rocker, using the breakthrough of 1998's Devil Without a Cause to refashion himself as a modern-day blue-collar rocker, as comfortable with crunching bluesy riffs as he is with heartbroken country. The former Bob Ritchie started this transformation on 2001's Cocky, an enjoyably jumbled album that didn't quite take off until "Picture," his straight country duet with Sheryl Crow, was embraced by country radio, reviving the album and even bringing him nominations from the CMA. Kid was already in the process of abandoning metal and, to a lesser extent, hip-hop, so he seized this opportunity to become a full-out rocker and outlaw country singer with his next album, 2003's Kid Rock. Many of Kid's signatures are still in place -- the bragging, the boasting, the songs about sex, fame, and rock & roll, the hard riffs, the self-mythology -- but it no longer sounds like a mix of David Lee Roth and the Beastie Boys (even if the latter's Rod Carew rhyme from "Sure Shot" is lifted for "Intro," just moments after a "So Whatcha Want" reference); it sounds as if Hank Williams, Jr. and David Allan Coe are his new role models. ...
