| | Verve This Is Music: The Singles 92-98 CD Verve Discography of CDs
Though the band only made three studio albums before disbanding in 1999, the Verve still proved to be one of the most compelling rock groups to emerge from Britain in the '90s. THIS IS MUSIC: THE SINGLES 92-98 upholds the claim, and gives 14 prime examples of the ensemble's sharp songcraft and riveting sonic sweep. Powered by the rumbling of bassist Simon Jones and drummer Peter Salisbury, and characterized by Nick McCabe's swirling guitar-scapes and Richard Ashcroft's hypnotic vocals, the Verve created a hugely expansive sound that drew from '60s psychedelia, mainstream rock, and an indie shoegazer ethos.
More subtle and atmospheric than contemporaneous work by Blur and Oasis, the Verve's spiraling, echoing textures were offset by a fierce edge that underscores the desperation at the music's core. This is particularly true of early tracks, including "Slide Away" and "Blue," which offered up a heady crunch. The Verve refined its sound without losing any of its epic scope, culminating in the hit singles from 1997's URBAN HYMNS, the aching ballad "The Drugs Don't Work" and the majestic "Bittersweet Symphony." The Verve's songs--especially their singles--were symphonies within themselves, and THIS IS MUSIC ensures the band's brief, important legacy will continue to hold sway.

Often, supergroups wind up dominated by one particular personality - think Eric Clapton in Derek & the Dominos, Jack White in the Raconteurs -- which makes the egalitarianism of Them Crooked Vultures all the more remarkable. Of course, when it comes down to it, it's a group of three natural-born collaborators: John Paul Jones, the old studio pro who gravitated toward provocative partners after Led Zeppelin's demise, teaming up with R.E.M. as easily as he did with avant-queen Diamanda Galas and nu-folkster Sara Watkins; Dave Grohl, who hopped into an empty drummer's chair whenever the opportunity presented itself; and Josh Homme, who set up a mini-empire based entirely on jam sessions. If Them Crooked Vultures brings to mind Homme's projects more than Grohl's or Jones', it's largely due to his role as lead vocalist and how guitar can push a rhythm section as powerful as this to the side, dominating with its grinding riffs and solos. Homme's predilection for precision does ...

$11.99  
After the dark and chilling themes of 2006's BLACK CADILLAC, which saw Rosanne Cash dealing with the deaths of her mother, Vivian Liberto, her father, Johnny Cash, and her stepmother, June Carter Cash -- all of whom passed within a two-year span -- one might assume that her next project would move into an even deeper level of bleakness, but with THE LIST, it's immediately clear that she has instead found a more measured place to stand. It's a lovely and redemptive outing that looks back to go forward. When Cash turned 18, her father, alarmed that his daughter only ...

Subtitled "Instrumental Impressions for the Christmas and Winter Seasons," this collection is an unusual departure from traditional arrangements. Winterfall combines delicate layers of melodies from both familiar and more unique carols to create sparkling images of the season. ~ MusD
WINTERFALL DESCRIPTION“Winterfall” renders the crystal-quiet feeling of standing in a snow-covered forest. The original title composition is based on a melodic line from Vivaldi's "Winter," and is described by fans as “a breath of fresh air. “Lee Spears hammered dulcimer work dances delicately inside Donna Michael’s emotive acoustic piano strokes. Both artists play acoustic guitar and the album features additional accompaniment on cello, stringed bass and English horn.Described by fans as “soothing and life-affirming,” these exquisite arrangements ...
