Paul Schwartz's STATE OF GRACE II continues where STATE OF GRACE left off. On this album, the imaginative producer draws from two Latin texts, the Magnificat and the Stabat Mater. The former expresses Mary's joy, while the latter focuses on her grief as Jesus is put to death.
Mariology is usually associated with the medieval period, yet this music interprets Mary in a contemporary light. Each piece on STATE OF GRACE II has a liturgical feel to it, but is performed using contemporary sounds and harmonies. The opening track, " Magnificat," has the Crouch End Festival Chorus performing with keyboards and an electronic backbeat. "Curación (Sunlight on Water)" has a Latin American feel, given the rich percussion layers and Carlos Santana's emotive guitar leads. With "Stabat Mater" the music grows darker. Here, Lisbeth Scott's voice becomes the focus. Known for her contributions to THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST, Scott brings to life the story of Mary with great poignancy. Scott's duets with Schwartz on "Fear Not" and "Let Me" also showcase the singer's penetrating voice. Overall, STATE OF GRACE II is an ambitious release that celebrates Mary and all that she symbolizes.

$38.09 DREAMS is a 4-CD box set compiling in chronological order tracks by the Allman Brothers Band, as well as tracks by bands featuring one or more member of the Allman Brothers Band and solo performances by Gregg Allman and Dickey Betts.

Like nearly all box sets, DREAMS has plenty to recommend it-and a few nagging drawbacks. The set's chief shortcoming is its two conflicting goals: providing an overview of the Allmans' history, thus attracting buyers seeking the ultimate hits package, and including enough unreleased tracks and rarities to appeal to ...

State Of Grace II: Turning To Peace music CDs
$10.65 With producer Tom Dowd, known for his work at Atlantic Records, at the helm, the Souther-Hillman-Furay Band seemed to be distancing itself a bit from its country-rock roots with its second release, the appropriately titled Trouble in Paradise. Here the band expands on the funkier aspects of its debut album, while at the same time slipping even closer to the middle of the road. On that record it was former Poco frontman Richie Furay who was responsible for the highlights, but this time out it's J.D. Souther, who penned four of the ...
