| | Showaddywaddy Crepes And Drepes CD - Import Showaddywaddy Discography of CDs
By late 1979 and its fifth album, Showaddywaddy had moved so far beyond its original links with the glam rock scene that it was hard to believe the group had ever been considered a part of it -- all the more so since the bandmembers themselves had scarcely altered their own modus operandi in the slightest. Still firmly locked into an updated vision of mid-'50s Teddy Boy chic and still drawing its repertoire from the pre-Beatles rock & roll library, Showaddywaddy was both an absolute anachronism and an unflagging inspiration for a clutch of freshly emergent '50s revivalists -- both the Darts and Rocky Sharpe & the Replays made their own grab for chart glory during 1979, leaving Britain briefly (but convincingly) poised on the brink of a full-scale rock & roll revival. Again. Of course it didn't happen, but Crepes & Drapes, released just in time for Christmas, marched on regardless. The album made the U.K. Top Ten, three singles hit the U.K. Top 40, and if critics complained that the whole Showaddywaddy sound was sounding dreadfully formulaic -- so what? The usual mix of spot-on originals and excellent covers thrilled the people it was meant to thrill, and who could ask for more than that? Versions of "Sweet Little Rock & Roller," "Twist and Shout," and "Come on Let's Go" stand out among the album's revivals -- points also for the skillful Showaddy-izing of Eric Carmen's "That's Rock & Roll." "Remember Then," meanwhile, serves up the latest in the band's collection of achingly nostalgic looks back at the days when rock was young, while the well-packaged 7Ts CD reissue appends two non-LP B-sides that themselves would have sat proudly on the main attraction, "Love for a Star" and "Five Minutes More." ~ Dave Thompson

Crepes And Drepes album
 $14.45   
After the dark and chilling themes of 2006's BLACK CADILLAC, which saw Rosanne Cash dealing with the deaths of her mother, Vivian Liberto, her father, Johnny Cash, and her stepmother, June Carter Cash -- all of whom passed within a two-year span -- one might assume that her next project would move into an even deeper level of bleakness, but with THE LIST, it's immediately clear that she has instead found a more measured place to stand. It's a lovely and redemptive outing that looks back to go forward. When Cash turned 18, her father, alarmed that his daughter only knew the songs that were getting played on the radio, gave her a list of what he considered 100 essential ...

Crepes And Drepes album
$15.65
With its titanic guitar solos, symphonic suites, and multi-layered melodies, Muse's fifth album operates under the assumption that bigger is better. This is the very definition of a super-sized album, an album that takes its cues from Queen, its lyrics from science fiction novels, and its delivery from rock opera. It's also the first time that Muse has truly sounded like Muse, as few bands since Queen have ...

The last Stones studio album of the '60s finds the band, for perhaps the first time, accurately reflecting the spirit of its age. The erstwhile bad boy outsiders of rock now found themselves firmly in the center of the social and political post-'68 whirlwind, and faced up ...

Accuse bassist and producer Bill Laswell of artistic colonialism or cultural dilettantism and he'll probably just shrug his shoulders. His attitude has always been that he makes the music he likes, and that purists and defenders of tradition can feel free to go jump in a lake if they don't like it. And yet it's hard to escape the feeling that what he and his cohorts are calling "spiritual" on this album is really just exotic. None of this music is devotional or even meditational; it's just Eastern. But hip ...
