ALL MY LIFE gathers three previous albums by prog-rocker Gordon Haskell: BUTTERFLY CHINA, HAMBLEDON HILL and IT'S ALL JUST A PLOT TO DRIVE YOU CRAZY.

A few months after he suddenly found himself transformed from an unknown independent artist into a U.K. Top Ten star by the single "How Wonderful You Are," Gordon Haskell released this highlight compilation in an attempt to introduce his new fans to his extensive back catalog. All My Life spans a decade-long solo career, and it demonstrates that Haskell didn't always record in the barebones settings that made Harry's Bar and its monster hit, "How Wonderful You Are," so effective. Turns out Haskell used a lot of electric guitar and synthesizer in days gone by, with widely varying results. On "Hambledon Hill," Haskell exercises restraint and uses light electronic backing to add an air of mystery to the pretty melody. On "Mumbo Jumbo," he brews an intriguing new wave-tinted Afro-pop arrangement that sounds something like Billy Joel meets Juluka. But the title track is just about destroyed by a twinkly easy listening synth and sax backing. Haskell always straddles a fine line between inventive light jazz-folk and irredeemably gooey easy listening, but the rancid-sweet arrangements on tracks like "All My Life" and "Chilli Chilli" push him way over into the Muzak camp. Only "Please Don't Try to Talk to Me" and "Nothing in This World" apply the ice cool guitar-and-vocal Harry's Bar approach, and the result is that Haskell's fine vocals (which have improved tremendously with age thanks to their relaxed self-possession and compellingly textured husk) are often lost in the mix. This retrospective is a very mixed bag, but the good news is that the best seems yet to come. ~ Evan Cater

2002 compilation for artist best-known for the 2001 hit, 'How Wonderful You Are', off the 'Harry's Bar' album. Featuring Gordon's very own selection of his finest recordings prior to 'Harry's Bar'. 13 tracks including, 'Hambledon Hill', 'Breathing In' & 'Go Tell Sarah'. Housed in a slipcase with booklet including lyrics to each of the songs.

There's no shortage of legendary producers in line to work with music world titans U2; when work with Rick Rubin broke off, Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois stepped in. The resulting NO LINE ON THE HORIZON, 2009's offering from the Irish rockers, continues in the grand U2 tradition, as soaring pop anthems like opening single "Get on Your Boots" pair with experimental melanges like "Tripoli," on a striking album featuring touches of all the albums come before, yet hinting at new worlds for Bono to conquer. After spending the 1990s experimenting with electronic music and returning to arena-ready rock during the first few years of the 21st century, U2 stakes out territory somewhere between those two points on 2009's NO LINE ON THE HORIZON. Enlisting its go-to production trio of Brian Eno, Daniel Lanois, and Steve Lillywhite, the Irish quartet seems intent on crafting a quirkier companion piece to HOW TO DISMANTLE AN ATOMIC BOMB, and they succeed with restless tracks such as "Get on Your Boots," which sounds like "Vertigo" hijacked by T. Rex, and "Stand Up Comedy," a wiry number that lets the Edge cut loose with barbed guitar lines. Some of most striking songs on HORIZON are ...

This 1998 reissue contains 5 bonus tracks (including the previously unreleased "White Christmas") not included on the original release. John Denver's music always had a warm, home-spun quality to it, so it isn't surprising that his 1975 holiday effort, Rocky Mountain Christmas, is a wonderfully low-key and friendly Christmas album. Divided between classic carols and new numbers, such as the fine "Aspenglow" and "Christmas for Cowboys," the album is an appealing, pretty record, perfect for late nights by the fireside. The 1998 CD reissue adds five bonus tracks: "Jingle Bells," "White Christmas," "The Music is You," "Perhaps Love," and "Dreamland Express." ~ Rodney Batdorf Live Recording Producers: Milton Okun, John Denver, Barney Wycoff, Roger ...

Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons: Frankie Valli, Bob Gaudio, Nick Massi, Tommy DeVito (vocals). The Four Seasons were never in a class with Frankie Lymon & the Teenagers or Little Anthony & the Imperials, and Franki Valli's voice tended to sound shrill. But despite their imperfections, Valli and friends came up with their share of fun, enjoyable teen pop in the early '60s. In fact, it's hard to imagine the early '60s without teen ...
Nobody's Heroes
Stiff Little Fingers Nobody's Heroes CD  (1980) Import

All My Life songs
CD $10.49
Stiff Little Fingers' NOBODY'S HERO features 14 remastered tracks, extra liner notes, a bonus poster, and an exclusive hour-long interview with Jake Burns. Roaring back with a vengeance and seemingly without pause for breath, NOBODYS HEROES finds Stiff Little Fingers once again examining the frailty of the human condition in time of war. While this preoccupation with life and death can come across as either preachy (Billy Bragg), goofy (Chumbawumba), or even pedantic (the Clash's later work), to SLF it seems more than just a reaction to circumstance than a defense mechanism in a country divided by barbed-wire. However, SLF are canny enough to realize that no mere punk band can actually cause change by itself (as evidenced in the brilliant title track where lead singer Jake Burns advises fans not to let your heroes get your kicks for you) as true change comes from collective involvement. "Tin Soldiers," with its rant against the futility of the army, and "Fly the Flag" with its indictment of Great Britain's colonialism and neglect of the poor prove that perhaps the best resistance is found in punk rock catharsis. "Bloody Dub" finds the band once again embracing outlaw imagery and the oppositional culture of reggae's most mysteriously satisfying subculture. It's easy ...
