 (6 Customer Reviews)
In October 2003, Jennifer Lopez will release a dvd containing ALL of her music video clips. Jennifer's comments became the narrative for this video collection. She tells her fans which video is her favorite, how the concepts are developed, and lots more. The dvd will also feature a bonus ep. This version is packaged in the jewel box.
DVD includes the videos "If You Had My Love," "Waiting for Tonight," "No Me Ames Mas," "Feelin' So Good," "Love Don't Cost a Thing," "Play," "I'm Real," "Ain't It Funny," "Alive," "I'm Gonna Be Alright," "Jenny from the Block," "All I Have," "I'm Glad," and "Baby I Love You."
Personnel includes: Jennifer Lopez (vocals); R. Kelly (rap vocals); Rene Toledo (guitar); Verdine White (bass); Omar Hakim (drums); Troy Oliver (programming); B-Money (scratches); Shelene Thomas, Cory Ronney, Natasha Ramos (background vocals).
The title of The Reel Me is another of J-Lo's intentionally baffling misleading titles, but unlike the bewildering This Is Me... Then -- a title perfectly suited for a compilation, but released as a new album -- this is a little easier to figure out. The Reel Me collects all of Lopez's music videos, from On the 6 to This Is Me, interspersed with interviews with the diva as she reminiscences about her life and career (these interviews are inaccurately called commentaries on the DVD menus and publicity stickers; there is no audio commentary on this DVD). If this were a straight-up DVD, this title wouldn't be quite so confusing, but since it was released in the era of multiple repackagings, this is available as a DVD with a bonus EP (packaged in a keepcase) and a EP with a bonus DVD (packaged in a digipak). In either format the EP is forgettable, filled with passable remixes of singles from the This Is Me that all fall short of being interesting, but the DVD is excellent, containing all of Lopez's videos and including a good 5.1 mix as well. While the interviews are all promo puff pieces, they can be amusing, and are fun to watch once. But the real reason to get this is for that collection of videos, which were among the best of the dance-pop renaissance of the early 2000s. They'll likely be repackaged again, but any repackage will likely use this as the standard to beat. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
As its title suggests, THE REEL ME is a companion video compilation to Jennifer Lopez's 2002 album, THIS IS ME...THEN. The DVD disc is accompanied by an audio-only CD EP that compiles several excellent remixes of the most popular songs from the original album. The EP includes the R. Kelly remix of the hit "Baby I Love You," which humorously casts Kelly's thuggish raps about "rollin" with "some fine females" against J-Lo's heart-on-the-sleeve declarations of passion (set to the theme from MIDNIGHT COWBOY). Also featured is the Seismic Crew Latin Disco Trip mix of "Jenny from the Block," turning what was already an insanely catchy song into an absolutely undeniable, booty-shaking dance-floor romp. Any listener who enjoyed THIS IS MEŕTHEN will certainly want to pick up THE REEL ME, as the tracks here present alternate versions that are often even more fun than the originals.

| | Leadbelly Bluesman: Collector's Edition CDs (2006) Remastered
The Reel Me
$15.05
Personnel: Leadbelly (vocals, acoustic guitar).
Liner Note Author: Bill Dahl.
This two-disc set gives a fully satisfying dose of the down-home folk-blues magic of the man they call Leadbelly. With only an acoustic guitar, an itinerant lifestyle, and a repertoire that included traditional ballads, political songs, kids' tunes, and blues, among myriad others, Leadbelly was the mythic archetype for the early American folksinger.
Leadbelly's discography is so large and varied that boiling down his best performances to 15 tracks may seem a foolhardy enterprise, but disc one of BLUESMAN: COLLECTOR'S EDITION does just that to fine effect. Many of the singer's staples are here, including "Goodnight Irene," "John Hardy," and "Midnight Special." Disc two features a 1949 concert in which Leadbelly rolls through such favorites as "Rock Island Line" and "Skip to My Lou." There's something elementally American about the music of Leadbelly, and the BLUESMAN box captures that quality perfectly.

This project was born in the fall of 2008 in a downtown L.A. loft space on the edge of Skid Row, dubbed Temperamental Recordings. There, producer/multi-instrumentalist Mike Brown (who had played a few live shows with Lowlight) began working with Ed Mattiuzzi (Lowlight’s primary songwriter) on the record’s title track, “A Wonderful Lie.” Originally, Mike and Ed planned to record only a few songs, but soon enough the record took shape as a collaboration among a group of L.A. artists and friends, including (among others) bassist Bill Reynolds, drummer Dave Krusen, drummer Scott Seiver, singer/songwriter Lissie, and vocalist Simone White. Bass player Frank DiVanna, in particular, quickly became an essential part of the recording process, bringing many of the hooks, arrangements, and ideas to the record along with Ed and Mike. Immersed in the insanity of downtown L.A. -- among homeless neighbors and neighborhood characters -- Frank, Ed, and Mike would work and talk into the wee hours of the night. Often leaving the huge wooden windows of the loft open during takes, the guys captured a noise floor consisting of people chatting and laughing as Ed laid down his vocals, crackheads arguing on the streets below, the sounds of Tom Petty (the studio dog) tripping over cables and knocking over guitars, and the constant hums of cars and buses rumbling outside. So much of the sound and feeling of these unique surroundings made their way onto this low-key record, and the resulting work is interesting and complex, yet organic, warm and accessible. The recording process was pretty much complete by the Holidays. In February, Mike went back to Geneseo, his small hometown in upstate New York, to finish building a recording studio in an old country church (which would become the future playhouse of Temperamental Recordings).Ed called Bill Reynolds (who was with the guys during some of the recording process and played bass on the third track, “Shout It Out”), and suggested that he mix the record with Mike. The plan was to fly Mike to meet Bill in Atlanta, where the two would mix for three days at Exocet Studios. Ed would not attend the mixing session due to fear that his stubbornness and neurosis would ...
