| | Carole King Thoroughbred CD - Import Carole King Discography of CDs
 (1 Customer Review)
1976's THOROUGHBRED was Carole King's last album for Lou Adler's Ode Records imprint, and it's clearly a transitional release. Change was afoot in the musical air in 1976, and while there's no hints of punk or disco on THOROUGHBRED--which is a good thing--King is definitely moving away from the solo piano sound of her earlier solo albums. King's thumping, percussive piano playing is still all over the album, but guitars play a more prominent role than ever before. At times, the instrumental interplay resembles that of Fleetwood Mac, particularly Waddy Wachtel's Lindsey Buckingham-like solo on "Only Love Is Real." The songs themselves are in the eclectic style of 1973's all-over-the-map FANTASY, with the country-tinged "We All Have To Be Alone" and "Ambrosia" sitting comfortably between the slinky pop of "I'd Like To Know You Better" and the soulful "Still Here Thinking of You."

Thoroughbred album
 $29.35 
Making the transformation from radio show to television screen can be problematic for any show, but with Groucho Marx at the helm there was never much doubt that YOU BET YOUR LIFE would be a huge success. This compilation offers highlights from the show, which eventually stretched over an incredible 423 episodes from 1950-1961. 18 episodes are included, providing some hearty belly-laughs, and a document of a classic television show.
“Now it’s time to play You Bet Your Life.”
For 14 years that’s how Groucho Marx concluded his conversations with the 2500 offbeat characters, regular folks and thoroughly unusual people who were contestants on the show. They sang, they danced, they chewed wood and they blew up inner tubes. But when ...

| | Herb Alpert The Lonely Bull CD (1962) Remastered; Special Edition
Thoroughbred music CDs
$11.99 
There is a dreamy-eyed wonder about Herb Alpert's debut album. Within its Latin-esque affectations, the album is a moodily romantic concoction of easy listening and progressive sounds. "El Lobo" is a portrait of love's sorrow, tenderly painted with trumpets, guitars, and ghostly vocal choruses. "The Lonely Bull" is cinematic, with imagery of bullfights vividly implied by the opening sound effects of a roaring crowd. The deep electric guitar sounds like the Ventures, a popular 1960s instrumental rock group.
Even at the outset, Alpert's style has the elements that he carried with him over the succeeding years. There's a preference for solid and dominant percussion and tempos, making all his work specifically geared for the dancing set. The Mexican melodies lend a cross-cultural vitality that was to persist in the trumpeter's work.
The colossus that is A&M Records starts right here ...
| | Jamie O'Neal Brave CD (2005)
Thoroughbred songs
$11.89
Though she served a long Nashville apprenticeship as a backup singer and successful songwriter, Jamie O'Neal eventually revealed her own powerful voice and garnered several of her own hits. With her second record, BRAVE, O'Neal delivers gusto-filled vocal performances matched to a set of heartland-rock-inspired songs full of evocative imagery. "Somebody's Hero" was inspired by the birth of her daughter and deals with the joy and heartache of watching a child grow up. "Devil on the Left" is a grinding swamp-rocker that examines a stripper's moral dilemma. The funky bass line and rebellious spirit of "Girlfriends" recalls Dolly Parton's 1980 mega-hit "9 to 5." With a gutsy vocal tone similar to that of ...

Even those who find Barry Manilow's music cringe-worthy are likely to know the chorus to "I Write the Songs," or to recognize the opening bars of "Mandy." That's because Manilow held serious sway over the pop and adult contemporary charts throughout the '70s, ratcheting up an amazing string of hits, ...

| | Lys Guillorn CD (2003)
Thoroughbred album
$11.39
If you are a no-name artist releasing your first LP, it helps to make a record where two members of Luna, three ex-Feelies (Dean Wareham, Stanley Demeski, Brenda Sauter, Glenn Mercer), and Robert Quine (Voidoids, Lou Reed, Tom Waits) all play on it. And while you're at it, why not cover Johnny Thunders' "You Can't Put Your Arms Round a Memory" for good measure? You wanted to get the attention of your humble reviewer; you got it! And Danbury, CT's Guillorn doesn't squander it. This is one of those quiet, twinkling little pop records (they call it "interior rock," and hey, that's not bad!) where nothing is in any particular hurry. Bright, fuzzy, light, airy, and even a little cheery (but not too much so), this is a record made by someone who no doubt appreciates Nico's solo LPs and the very idea of Moe Tucker as much as the rest of us. But she also knows how to translate that into her own pretty pop, like the beguiling "Throne." The more country-inflected tunes don't work as well, even with their lyrics of "legendary cowboys," but with little organ moods and minor percussion always kept spare and the vocals always coming warmly from ...
