| | Fugees Greatest Hits CD - Import Fugees Discography of CDs
This double disc compilation brings together the most popular tracks by the East Coast act who fused rap, R&B & reggae. Lauryn Hill, Wyclef Jean & co. found worldwide success with their second album, 1996's 'The Score'. Disc one features 3 bonus tracks 'A Change Is Gonna Come' (live from BBC/Radio 1), 'Killing Me Softly With His Song' (live from MCM) & 'Freestyle' (live from BBC/Radio 1). Plus this UK limited edition includes a bonus disc with 6 more tracks, 'Ready Or Not' (Clarke Kent Remix), 'Ready Or Not' (Salaam's Ready For The Show Remix Instrumental), 'Fu-Gee-La' (Refugee Camp Remix), 'Fu-Gee-La 9Sly & Robbie Mix), 'Killing Me Softly With His Song' (Sound Barrier Remix) & 'No Woman, No Cry' (Remix w/Steve Marley). Columbia. 2003.
The Fugees: Lauryn Hill, Wyclef Jean, Prakazrel "Pras".
Producers include: Wyclef Jean, Lauryn Hill, John Forte, Shawn King, Salaam Remi.
A collection of hits by one of the most important hip hop acts of the nineties, including "Ready or Not," "Killing Me Softly with his Song," and "The Score."
As wonderful and compelling as the Fugees were during their brief moment in the sun (circa 1996), it's difficult to make the case for a Fugees Greatest Hits. The trio only put out two records, the first a muddled attempt at weed-soaked hardcore, the second an excellent fusion of hip-hop and soul, so the obvious choice for record-buyers is that final full-length, The Score. This compilation includes seven tracks from The Score, prefacing it with two selections from the 1994 debut (Blunted on Reality) and tacking on Lauryn Hill's first solo recording, "The Sweetest Thing" -- originally on the Love Jones soundtrack and later included on her first album, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. Anyone interested in hearing what the Fugees sounded like before The Score is subjected to Blunted on Reality's pair of substandard singles ("Vocab," "Nappy Heads"), though wiser compilers would've chosen early songs that paved the way for The Score, like the graceful Hill feature "Some Seek Stardom." Brief and perfunctory, Greatest Hits is, basically, a budget compilation with a more artful cover. ~ John Bush

Feat:Frankie Beverly. Incl. Capitol & Warner Bros.Hits.
Liner Note Author: Gail Mitchell.
Along with a number of very welcome Maze album reissues, in 2004 The Right Stuff compiled what is no doubt the definitive single-disc collection of the Frankie Beverly-led band, titled simply yet accurately Greatest Hits. The 18-track compilation rounds up the four-minute single edits of such hits as "Southern Girl," "Joy and Pain," "Before I Let Go," "Never Let You Down," and "Back in Stride," among numerous others. Because many of these songs in their original states clock around seven or so minutes apiece, these single edits are preferable for a compilation such as this. This way you get as many hits as possible on the disc, and if you indeed like what you hear, you can always go and pick up the individual Maze albums, which are classics in their own right and mighty rewarding listens for lovers of late-'70s funk and early- to mid-'80s urban music. The Right Stuff, a division of Capitol Records, also went out ...

This set collects material from one of the pre-eminent soul shouters of the 60's, Wilson "Wicked" Pickett.
Pickett began singing in churches in his teens, eventually deciding to follow the path of Sam Cooke and other gospel singers who crossed over into the pop market. First with the Falcons and then solo, he honed his astonishingly powerful singing style in recordings he made with musicians from the Stax label and the Muscle Shoals studio. He had huge hits with "Mustang Sally," "Land Of 1000 Dances," and his masterpiece, "In The Midnight Hour."
A Man and a Half: The Best of Wilson Pickett is a double-disc set that collects the absolute cream of Pickett's early sides with The Falcons and all the highlights of his successful alliance with the Atlantic label. With "Mustang Sally," "In the Midnight Hour," "Ninety Nine & a Half," "Hey Jude," "Land of 1000 ...

Greatest Hits
$13.49 
Personnel: Nick Lowe (vocals, guitar, bass); Steve Donnelly (guitar); Richie Buckley (tenor saxophone); Wayne Jackson (trumpet); Matt Holland (flugelhorn); Geraint Watkins (piano, organ); Robert Treherne (drums); Tessa
Niles (background vocals).
Recorded at RAK Studios, London and The Barge, Twickenham, England between May 2000 and April 2001.
Personnel: Steve Donnelly (guitar); Richie Buckley (tenor saxophone); Wayne Jackson (trumpet); Matt Holland (flugelhorn); Geraint Watkins (piano, organ); Tessa Niles (background vocals).
Photographer: Dan Burn-Forti.
The Convincer is the last installment in a trilogy begun with The Impossible Bird and musically it falls between that record's country-rock and the torch songs of 1997's Dig My Mood. No surprises then, but that's fine, because Lowe hasn't delivered three records this consistent in a very long time, if ever. All three records are warm, intimate affairs, yet they all have a different mood. Bird was a quintessential breakup record, Mood was the soundtrack to a late-night seduction, while The Convincer is a laid-back record that simply feels good. It's a smooth affair, whether Lowe is crooning a cover of Johnny Rivers' "Poor Side of Town" or "Homewrecker," where it's clear that he still loves the title seductress, even if she turned his life upside down. And that's the key to the record -- there's a real sense of joy from Lowe, a sense that he knows he's been in a creative renaissance and that he's enjoying every second of it, and that spills over to the record itself. It's a record comprised of ...

Alan Jackson: Alan Jackson (vocals, guitar); Gary Prim, John Wesley Ryles, Keith Stegall, Melodie Crittenden, Brent Mason .

On 2006's PRECIOUS MEMORIES, country superstar Alan Jackson ventures into gospel territory, offering up a set of warm and inviting faith-themed songs. These spare tracks feature no percussion and rely almost solely on piano and acoustic guitar, allowing the focus to remain on Jackson's resonant vocals and the songs' devoutly Christian lyrics. Although praising Jesus is clearly the core of this album, the beautifully minimalist renderings of spiritual classics are so soothing and pleasant that the disc's appeal is sure to extend to fans of Jackson's secular music, particularly on "Softly and Tenderly," which is enhanced by gentle organ lines, and "I'll Fly Away," here given a light, jaunty bluegrass feel. The resulting atmosphere evokes images of the Georgia-born singer/guitarist sitting in on a friendly, open-air church service, leading a sing-along of traditional numbers such as "What a Friend We Have in Jesus" and "I Want to Stroll Over Heaven with You."
Ten studio albums into his career, Alan Jackson takes a bit of a breather with 2006's Precious Memories, his first ever gospel album. Not coincidentally, it's his quietest record to date, as hushed and reverent as a Sunday service, with each track boasting little more than a piano, acoustic guitar, harmony vocals, and maybe an organ. There may not be much musical variety to these spare, intimate arrangements, ...
