| | Sly & The Family Stone Anthology CD Sly & The Family Stone Discography of CDs
Sylvester Stewart, AKA Sly Stone, was a singer, songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist who fused R&B with rock and roll when Prince was still in purple satin diapers. With the Family Stone, he created a complex, energetic brand of soul/rock that had a profound impact on both musical worlds. Stewart was one of the first pop artists to directly address racial issues (in songs like "Don't Call Me Nigger, Whitey"). Reaching out to people of all races, he also penned one of the funkiest, most memorable "message" songs, "Everyday People."
ANTHOLOGY is an excellent introduction to this crucial link in American music; it's also a collection of some of the finest singles ever recorded. "Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)" is assured its place in funk history by virtue of Larry Graham's thumb-slapping bass riff. Butt-shaking anthems like "Dance To The Music" and "I Want To Take You Higher" display Stone's skills as an arranger, creating a whirlwind of sound incorporating funk rhythms, soul horns and rock guitar, along with the ensemble vocals that were a Family Stone specialty.

Anthology album
 $25.79
For those who have encountered Wanda Jackson in the sets of Neko Case, the wild rockabilly posturing of early Pearl Harbour & the Explosions, or on compilations or her comeback during the early part of the 21st century, this is a compilation made in heaven -- or hell if you are simply a fan ...
| | 50 Cent Before I Self-Destruct CDs (2007) With DVD
Anthology CD music
$13.29  
Released without the usual flurry of hype, Before I Self Destruct fulfills 50 Cent's contractual obligation to the Interscope label. It also doubles as a throwback album, returning the rapper to the hunger and hatred of his early mixtapes while skillfully recasting him as a wannabe upstart. That is, for the most part. The four radio-friendly bedroom numbers that conclude the album are out of place but fairly good to dime-piece beautiful, with the best being the Ne-Yo showcase "Baby by Me" ("Have a baby by me, baby/Be a millionaire"). As pleasing as these final numbers are, if you leave the room after the macho bruiser "I Got Swag" ("I'm infinitely special/Girl the Lord is gonna bless you/If you do what I tell you to do"), you'll return to a confusingly different album, one that's as glamorous but less vital. The monstrous run of tracks that leads up to this flash and polish can be summed up by 50's "This ...

| | Melanie Fiona Bridge CD (2009)
Anthology CD music
$9.99
Melanie Fiona's debut single, "Give It to Me Right," was a perfect 2009 pop-R&B recording. The single coupled a timeless classic (the Zombies' "Time of the Season") with roof-raising vocals and infectious pop hooks that stuck like peanut butter. Fiona's single was perfect, albeit a touch formulaic. Because of this, it's no surprise that a large chunk of her debut album, THE BRIDGE, is ...
| | Billy Bragg Mermaid Avenue, Vol. 2 CD (2000)
Anthology music CDs
$11.59
MERMAID AVENUE VOLUME 2 is the second collection of previously unrecorded Woody Guthrie lyrics set to music by Billy Bragg and Wilco.
MERMAID AVENUE VOL. 2 was nominated for the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Folk Album.
When Billy Bragg and Wilco completed 1998's MERMAID AVENUE, everyone involved recognized that this ambitious project's overflowing creative juices necessitated a follow-up. Like its predecessor, VOL. II has the aforementioned artists setting a batch of unfinished Woody Guthrie lyrics, provided by the legendary folk singer's daughter Nora, to music. This time out, the approach is harder-edged but once again rambles all over the musical map.
The lo-fi flavored nugget "Meanest Man" finds Bragg affecting a Tom Waits-like delivery, while the snarling rave-up "All You Fascists" indicates ...
