Lori Carson is not afraid to expose herself on FINEST THING. This is unadorned music that speaks directly to a listener's emotions. There are no fancy studio tricks or complex song structures on this release, just an honest musical expression that centers on Carson's sleek voice.
On each track, Carson's voice glides effortlessly over a wash of delicate guitar and keyboard layers. The penultimate tune, "Coney Island Ride," uses an amusement park to explore themes of uncertainty and doubt. However, earlier in the album, on "She Can't Decide," Carson's wordless singing brings a childlike innocence to similar themes of hesitation and indecision. Other tracks such as "Glimmer" and "Long Walk" see Carson's voice floating peacefully above the music. On these tunes, Carson ruminates in multi-tracked harmonies over distant, shimmering keyboards and circular acoustic guitar arpeggios. FINEST THING uses sameness as its strongest asset. In fact, variety is not needed to add interest to this release. Overall, Carson's voice never fails to create a scenic image of beauty and resilience. This music is like the arc of a rainbow after a long, dark thunderstorm.
Lori Carson's CD is a record about remembering those rare moments in life when one wishes time could stop. Written as a series of connected meditations, Carson has created a score-like collection of songs and instrumental pieces that paint a life's journ

In some circles, Mickey Jupp is something of a minor legend, a roots rocker with excellent taste and a cutting wit, best heard on the songs "Switchboard Susan" and "You'll Never Get Me Up in One of Those," both covered by Nick Lowe. Basher's endorsement is a clear indication that Jupp is a pub rocker, a guy who specializes in laid-back good times, so it shouldn't come ...

| | Don Cherry Mu First Part / Mu Second Part CD (2001) Reissue; Remastered
Finest Thing music CDs
$10.65 
An outstanding work in the free jazz and avant-garde jazz idiom, the Mu sessions are among the most beautiful improvised duets recorded during the height of the free jazz movement. Recorded in France in 1969 and originally released on the BYG Actuel imprint, Mu remained an obscure collector's item for three decades until its reissue in two parts during the '90s. With Don Cherry on pocket trumpet, piano, Indian flute, bamboo flute, voice, bells, and percussion and Ed Blackwell on drums, percussion, and bells, the pair created one of the most telepathic improvisations on record, matched only by John Coltrane and Rashied Ali on the album Interstellar Space. From simple playful themes, Cherry develops a complex interplay with his partner that results in irrational mood changes and rhythm shifts, moving from ecstatic bird-call flurries through to fragile blues and nursery rhyme patterns. An African-inspired pulse groove follows the rapid-fire introduction, after which flurries of Cherry's pocket trumpet soar ecstatically into the air. More than three decades later, Mu is one of the few records that one can say sounds free, playful, candid, and revolutionary, an utterly arresting masterpiece that is a milestone in Don Cherry and Ed Blackwell's careers -- not to mention the free jazz movement in its entirety. Essentially, the recording represents such fire, passion, and energy that it can certainly reach listeners far beyond the avant-garde jazz academy. The Get Back reissue version is an exquisite collector's item in 180 gram vinyl. ~ Skip Jansen

The past year for the Sim Redmond Band has been huge. Opening for the likes of moe., the Neville Brothers, the Wailers, and Habib Koite, in some of the most beautiful venues in the country. The world has taken notice. From Ithaca, NY to Boulder, CO to Tokyo, Japan, SRBs's unique blend of roots-rock, Afro-Caribbean, and reggae music has spread like wild fire. They are based in Ithaca, NY but their magnetic pole is Africa, particularly the sounds emanating from West & South Africa. This magnetic pole has served as a pivot for the Sim Redmond Band to spring into straight rock grooves and pumping reggae. The vocal teamwork of Sim Redmond and Uniit Carruyo creates a male/female chemistry that is rare and beautiful. Lyrically, they explore dreams, truth, and matters of the heart. Their music has reached the hearts of people all around the world. They have begun touring extensively, venturing across the U.S., and bringing their positive energy everywhere they go.

$20.39 | | Sid Vicious Too Fast To Live CD (2004) (Import) England; United Kingdom
Finest Thing album
$12.19
TOO FAST TO LIVE is a 15-track remastered solo release by Sex Pistol bassist Sid Vicious and includes "Something Else," "My Way," an interview, and a live version of "Take A Chance On Me."
The greatest moment of John Simon Ritchie's life was also the same thing that sent him off on a downward spiral from which he would never return -- becoming a member of the Sex Pistols. While the other three members of the group may have been screwups and delinquents of various stripes, they at the very least had some idea of who they were, what they wanted to do, and what they wanted to be. Poor Ritchie was nothing more than a half-bright loser who saw that his old school chum John Lydon had stumbled into one of the greatest rock bands of their day and reinvented himself as Johnny Rotten, and naturally he wanted to do the same. But the boy who would be Sid Vicious always lacked Johnny Rotten's native intelligence and creative spark -- while Rotten created a sound and image that wasn't quite like anyone else around him, Sid was the first cookie-cutter punk, a cipher with spiky hair, a leather jacket, and a chain, and the sad truth was that the thousands of kids who would use Sid as their ...
