Originally released in 1997. 18 track anthology from the original member of Brinsley Schwarz. EC. 2005.
Following Brinsley Schwarz's disbandment, Ian Gomm launched a solo career that fell somewhere between power pop and the new wave roots-rock of Rockpile, which was co-led by his former Brinsley colleague, Nick Lowe. Gomm wasn't as sharp a songwriter as Lowe, nor was he as accomplished a recordmaker. Instead, he was a solid, workmanlike pub-rocker with pop aspirations. Each of his albums had several fine pop gems, but Gomm tended to undersell his songs and rely on slick production that now sounds dated. However, these are minor flaws if you're already a fan of either pub rock or power-pop, and if that's the case, you'll likely excuse the somewhat uneven albums. Or you could choose Come On, a solid collection that culls 18 highlights from Gomm's first three albums (Summer Holiday, What a Blow, and Village Voice). His hit "Hold On," is fairly atypical -- the song makes him sound like a soft rock crooner, but the rest of the collection enjoyably falls into the power pop and pub rock traditions, even if the production may be a little glossy for Brinsley fans. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
Personnel: Ian Gomm (vocals, guitar); Taff Williams (guitar); Malcolm Morley, Nick Glennie-Smith, Chris Parren (keyboards); Barry DeSouza, Alan Coulter (drums).

Purchase Come On CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | John Mayer Battle Studies CD (2009)
Come On album
 $11.18   
It's no secret that John Mayer is a 21st Century Fox, wining and dining women all through tabloid headlines, so it's about time he delivered an album that traded upon his loverman persona -- and Battle Studies is that record in spades. Retaining more than a modicum of the slick, soul-blues undertones of Continuum, Mayer fashions a modern groove album, a record that maintains a smooth seductive vibe so thoroughly it spills into a one-man band cover of "Crossroads." Mayer remains ...

Come On CD music
$19.34
It's a commonly held opinion among fans and band alike that Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers' lone live album, 1986's Pack Up the Plantation, didn't quite capture the group at its peak, so there has been a long-standing need for another live set, which 2009's Live Anthology finally provides. Like its closest cousin, ...
| | Leona Lewis Echo CD (2009)
Come On music CDs
$11.18 
The goal of Leona Lewis' 2007 debut, Spirit, was to prove that an X Factor winner could be a phenomenon not just in the U.K., but in the rest of the world. The goal of her second album, 2009's Echo, is to prove that success was no fluke, to build upon "Bleeding Love" and turn Lewis into an actual diva. Certainly, Echo in any of its incarnations -- its song listings are tailored for individual markets, with the U.K. getting a cover of Oasis' "Stop Crying Your Heart Out," while the U.S. gets a second song co-written by Justin Timberlake -- uses the chilly, synthesized "Bleeding Love" as its foundation, creating a sheet of sound equal parts Euro-pop and modern American R&B. As opposed to the often-stuffy Spirit, this is proudly modern, ...

Come On album
$15.25
This CD, The Time and the Place, is not the album of the same name released on Columbia Records dated February 8, 1967, with pianist Cedar Walton. That recording was a studio date with live audience sounds overdubbed. This is the actual live concert date, remixed from the three-track reel-to-reel master at New York City's Museum of Modern Art's outdoor "Jazz in the Garden" series, featuring pianist Albert Dailey on August 18, 1966, and presented in its entirely. Farmer plays flugelhorn exclusively, one of the first to do so. This concert also links his time leaving the U.S. for Europe, returning briefly, then moving permanently to Vienna, Austria. Tenor saxophonist Jimmy Heath is on the date, and he sounds as good as he ever has. The show includes the first recording of his piece "Far Away Lands," a modal hard bopper that hits the ground running and never lets up. Also included is his timeless Philly funk number, the title track. Dailey's lithe piano, bassist Walter Booker's "Song for My Father"-like samba-cum-pre-disco bass, and the bright singing melody from the horns which identifies this very contemporary jazz and still bears that brand today, and evermore. Farmer did not write any of the tunes, but takes them into his own light, and is a much more expressive performer than typically soft-toned flugelhorn players who use the instrument only on ballads. He's neat and fleet during the extended "The Shadow of ...
