| | Henry Paul CD (1982)
Tracks CD music
$10.49  
By 1982, Henry Paul was completely devoid of musical direction, let alone inspiration. After issuing a truly fine album in Anytime a year before, Paul decided on yet another musical change in direction. On his eponymously titled final album for Atlantic before re-forming the Outlaws, Paul took the hard boogie stance of Feel the Heat and married it to pop hooks à la Boston, Loverboy, and Styx, making for a truly disastrous finale. The shrill edges in the vocals seem to be trying to get something out of Bruce Springsteen's mileage as well. But the choruses on "Nightline" are right off of Styx's Grand Illusion and Pieces of Eight albums. Synthesizers careen into incredibly shattering -- yet compressed -- power chords; the guitars and drums are more filtered through effects than they are played. While it seems Paul was doing everything he could to write hooks -- and who knows whether this might not have worked better if stripped down -- Peter Solley's production was so loaded with schlocky keyboard fills that it's impossible to dig the song from its instrumental trappings. Feel the Heat's bar rock sound returns on "Kamikaze Rock," with excellent lyrics: "Kamikaze rockin' and rollin' tonight/Just you and me baby." "Tragedy" has the synthed glockenspiels of Springsteen's Darkness on the Edge of Town, and "Desireé," which could have been a hymn to the porn actress, is so full of clumsy lines and ...
| | Doors Legacy: The Absolute Best CDs (1967)
Tracks music CDs
$19.79 
Recorded between 1967 & 1983. Includes liner notes by Jim Ladd.
Released to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the release of the first Doors album, THE VERY BEST OF THE DOORS supercedes all former Doors compilations. At two discs and 34 tracks, this is quite comprehensive for a band whose key lineup released only half a dozen albums. In addition to all the expected hits like "Light My Fire," "Hello I Love You," and "Roadhouse Blues," this compilation delves much deeper into the catalogue with fan favorites such as "Not To Touch the Earth" and "Wishful Sinful," as well as a handful of previously obscure rarities. Remastered and newly remixed by original engineer Bruce Botnick and the surviving members of the Doors, THE VERY BEST OF THE DOORS is a solid tribute to the band.
The first Doors album was an important development in the evolution of rock, representing the dark underbelly of the '60s counterculture, the Jekyll to the Beatles/Beach Boys' Hyde. The Doors were the antithesis of windblown Californian pop. Dark, brooding and alienated, every element of the quartet's metier was unveiled on their debut album. In Jim Morrison they posessed one of rock's authoritative voices, while the group's dense instrumental prowess reflected his ...

| | Outlaws Los Hombres Malo CD (1982) Import
Tracks album
$27.95 
The Outlaws' LOS HOMBRES MALO contains the songs "Don't Stop," "Running," and "All Roads," among others.
Unfortunately, the popularity of Southern rock was starting to fade by the early 1980s, the success of 38 Special being a rare exception. The Outlaws released Los Hombres Malo (Spanish for "The Bad Men") in 1982, and it was the Florida band's last studio album for Arista. By this time, the band had been whittled down to a quartet, so it lost its classic three-guitar attack. Vocalist/guitarist Hughie Thomasson, vocalist/guitarist Freddie Salem, bass guitarist/vocalist Rick Cua, and drummer David Dix still put up a decent fight on Los Hombres Malo, but cracks in the armor were beginning to show. The hard rock edge Salem brought to the Outlaws is still evident on "Don't Stop," the rumbling leadoff track. Thomasson's "Foxtail Lilly" is another example of a buoyantly melodic tune with a fierce outro jam -- something of an Outlaws trademark. "Rebel Girl" is easygoing, album-oriented rock (AOR). Salem's "Goodbye" is clean and pop-oriented, but the Outlaws' country/cowboy roots and image appear in the form of Jesse James-oriented lyrics and Thomasson's banjo licks. "Back From Eternity" relies heavily on tempo changes, distinctive guitar parts, and Cua's bass melody. Country-pop is the best description of "Won't Come out of the Rain." Los Hombres Malo has respectable ...
| | Jessamine Living Sound CD (1999)
Tracks CD music
$12.95
Jessamine's farewell gift was actually an archival live effort from a Seattle show, the second of the group's collaborations with Pete Kember, aka Spacemen 3's Sonic Boom. Having done a split studio effort with him under the Spectrum guise, here Sonic wears his E.A.R. hat, playing everything from his favored analog keyboards to bowed cymbals and theremin. Jessamine itself concentrates on its usual instrumentation; nobody sings, and the entire performance is sequenced as seven different tracks, each presumably improvisations or newly rehearsed numbers. All are clearly part of the same overall piece, though, introduced by Sonic with his usual reverb heavy treatments and in ways dictated by him throughout. Jessamine fall somewhere between being a backing band for his explorations and being full partners, but whatever the exact nature of the partnership at any one point it's a productive one. Sonic's warm flow of textures and treatments adds a greater depth to the band's sound, replacing the silences that sometimes come to the fore with constant activity; in turn, the band's jams and slow builds give an extra rock bite to the usual E.A.R. approach. The fifth track in particular ...
| | Rick Shea Sawbones CD (2000)
Tracks music CDs
$13.15
This is only Rick Shea's third solo album in a decade, but the first since becoming a full-fledged member of Dave Alvin's Guilty Men band. Consequently, there's a slightly tougher feel to this release, likely inspired by Alvin's approach, yet Shea remains a unique voice in Americana music. Using his acoustic guitars, mandolins, and pedal steel as a backdrop for an eclectic stroll though stripped-down country, folk, blues, and swamp rock, Shea exudes class, dignity, and a heartfelt devotion to this music, which exudes from every track. Twelve of the 13 songs are originals (the only cover is an unplugged version of Lefty Frizell's "Saginaw Michigan"), and all are deeply ingrained in the honky tonk, hardcore country and low-key, ominous rock & roll that inspires Shea. The title track rocks with an easygoing Stones' swagger, Dave Alvin lends his guitar to the bluesy "Piedmont Ridge," and the determined stomp-along with the catchy riff of "Black-Eyed Girl" are the album's most aggressive cuts. But it's on the crackling "Lonesome Cannonball" where the eclectic pieces fit together as a forlorn fiddle sneaks between Alvin's robust, wiry guitar, a determined simmering mid-tempo beat, and Shea's easygoing vocals. The artist's yearning, plaintive, George Jones-styled singing (which is a bit of an acquired taste) and strong storytelling songs are more effective on the slower, acoustic tracks that provide the basis for the bulk of the disc. In particular, the lilting Mexican strains of "Magdalena" (some of which is sung is Spanish) shimmer with Shea's nylon guitar and just a hint of South of the Border percussion. The production, arrangements, and especially sound is stunning throughout Sawbones. It's obvious that Rick Shea took his time and dedicated substantial thought and effort to every song here, producing an invigorating, thoughtful, and sometimes sad journey through the ...

| | Julie London Cry Me A River - Best Of CD (2002) (Import) United Kingdom
Tracks album
$8.45
This best-of collection from Julie London features 18 of her biggest hits.
The three-disc box set Cry Me a River is a budget-line collection including 42 songs, about half from Julie London's prime between 1955 and 1958 and half from her later period between 1963 and1965. Since most of London's songs were at or under the two-minute mark, Disky could almost have fit every track on one CD. Still, there are plenty of coquettish favorites here, including "My Heart Belongs to Daddy," "'S Wonderful," "Love for Sale," "Days of Wine and Roses," "June in January," and the title track. The set also includes many songs rarely seen on Julie London compilations, including her versions of the standards "Wives and Lovers," "I Left My Heart in San Francisco," "Laura," "Our Day Will Come," "In the Still of the Night," and "Why Don't You Do Right." Though it's much too broad for inquisitive beginners, Cry Me a River isn't a bad value for collectors or those wishing to expand their collections a bit more. [The three volumes are also available separately.] ~ John Bush
For many years most of Julie London's vast Liberty Records catalog was out of print. EMI/Capitol then flooded the market ...
| | Gerry Mulligan Mulligan CD
Tracks CD music
$7.89
Though the music on Mulligan is labeled as being recorded in France in 1958 by the baritone saxophonist Gerry Mulligan, it actually consists of three songs by three different groups between 1960 and 1966, plus three cuts from a previously issued LP. Track one is labeled "Jeru," though it is instead a medley of "Roundhouse" and "Out of Nowhere." Backed by pianist Claude Williamson, bassist Buddy Clark, and drummer Mel Lewis, this track is flawed because of the wow in the tape source, though there's nothing wrong with the playing. "Festive Minor" comes from a 1960 concert in Stockholm featuring Mulligan's highly regarded quartet with Art Farmer, Bill Crow, and Dave Bailey. A broadcast of ...
