By 1973, Uriah Heep had progressed from an English heavy metal band to a worldwide success. They moved on to a new label (Warner Bros.) and began to explore new styles to flesh out their combination of prog complexity and heavy metal muscle. The band's desire to break new ground is established with the lead-off track, "Dreamer": while it riffs as hard as the band's past rockers, it adds a surprising element of funkiness into the band's sound. The gentle, acoustic guitar-dominated "Circus" is another change of pace that pushes the group's sound in a meditative, folky direction. The group also explores new avenues in the lyrical arena. Instead of the mystical tales that dominated albums like Demons and Wizards, Sweet Freedom offers lyrics designed to appeal to the listener on a personal level: The most stirring example is "Stealin'," a song about the regrets that come with living a self-obsessed life. These sentiments were combined with a stirring, soulful melody that helped make the song a radio favorite. Another highlight in this vein is the title track, a song that combines lyrics about the price of being free with an organ-fuelled, hymn-like melody. Despite these successful experiments, there are a few tracks that weigh the proceedings down: "Seven Stars" takes an exciting riff and runs it into the ground with a repetitive arrangement and "Pilgrim" is an over-the-top stab at an adventure tale that pushes the group's excesses to the level of self-parody. However, Sweet Freedom is likable enough to triumph over these missteps. While it isn't the group's finest record, it remains a solid listen for Uriah Heep fans. ~ Donald A. Guarisco

| | Uriah Heep Wonderworld CD (1974) Bonus Tracks; Remastered; Deluxe Edition
Sweet Freedom
$8.79 
WONDERWORLD is a classic from hard rockers Uriah Heep. It includes the songs "Suicidal Man" and "Dreams," among others.
The British deluxe reissue comes with six bonus tracks (including two live cuts) and a booklet full of notes and photos.
Wonderworld continues in the vein of Sweet Freedom, trying to bring Uriah Heep's appeal to a wider level while still retaining the grandiose trademark elements (the organ-guitar attack, David Byron's operatic shriek) that got them noticed. The result is an album that is solid but not as inspired as Look at Yourself or Demons and Wizards. The hard rock quotient is a little stronger on this album than it was on Sweet Freedom: "Something or Nothing" is a galloping stomp-rocker in the vein of past classics like "Love Machine" and "Suicidal Man" is an organ-fortified speed-rocker that is one of the band's finest hard rock tunes. On other tracks, the group continues ...

Sweet Freedom
$15.65
The 2005 reissue of the Jerry Garcia Band's 1978 album, CATS UNDER THE STARS, is a revelatory thing. There's a wealth of previously unreleased bonus material here that points emphatically to the strong influence of gospel music. The never-before-revealed likes of "Magnificent Sanctuary Band" and "I'll Be with Thee" make those leanings abundantly clear. These soulful, organic tracks provide a substantial enhancement to the original record.
All tracks have been digitally mastered using HDCD technology.
The Jerry Garcia Band's 1978 album, CATS UNDER THE STARS affords the opportunity to hear the original versions of Hunter/Garcia gems that would become staples of the Grateful Dead's live set (the story-song "Rubin and Cherise," the biblical narrative "Gomorrah"). It also hints at a seldom-considered aspect of the band's work from that period; "Palm Sunday" and "Down Home" suggest the strong influence of gospel music, with which Garcia was infatuated at the time. While some of the Dead's outings showed hints of this inspiration, these cuts make those leanings abundantly clear. These spiritually flavored tracks also provide the perfect foil for more polite, studio-spotless (though still effective) items, such as the title track, one of Garcia's glossier efforts.
Jerry Garcia's fourth solo album was the first to be released under the collective title of the Jerry Garcia Band, although the change was primarily in name, as there was little alteration in the personnel between this disc and the non-Grateful Dead tracks from his previous studio effort, Reflections (1976). However, unlike his previous effort, Cats Under the Stars contains all new original material. Garcia's longtime ...
