| | Minus 5 I Don't Know Who I Am CD (2003) Let The War Against Music
Rank And File music CDs
$13.85
Although Scott McCaughey pays his bills as a loyal R.E.M. sideman, the longtime Young Fresh Fellows frontman's Minus 5 project has allowed him to explore his fundamental pop/rock leanings with colleague Peter Buck on albums like 2001's acclaimed Let the War Against Music Begin. Recorded in tandem with that set, I Don't Know Who I Am -- a limited-edition disc reportedly restricted to a pressing of just 2,000 copies -- is far darker and more experimental, as evidenced by the set launcher, "There Is No Music." Meshing a slide guitar with a brooding lo-fi feel, the song's alt-country leanings uneasily shift into the electronic-tinged "Myrna Loy." While there are contagious moments like "Rooting for the Plague" and the profane singalong "I Don't Want to Fuck Off Anymore," tunes like the ...
| | Pete Anderson Daredevil CD (2004)
Rank And File songs
$9.69 
Pete Anderson's third solo outing has been a long time coming, and one gets the distinct impression that it's the album he's been itching to make all along. Given that Daredevil is completely instrumental, the guitar geeks already have something to salivate about. But there's much more to it than that. Anderson played the vast majority of instruments, with help in a few places from multi-instrumentalist Skip Edwards and minimal assistance from trumpeter Lee Thornberg and fiddler Donny Reed as well. There's also some string work performed by some mysterious entity know as "the Skipper." If the Latin Playboys were an instrumental country band, they would almost certainly sound something like this. While it's true that Anderson's guitaristry is signature to all he does, he understands dynamic, ...
| | Rank & File Long Gone Dead CD (1984)
Rank And File album
$10.45
Two years separated Rank and File's acclaimed debut album, Sundown, and 1984's follow-up, Long Gone Dead, and the band had gone through some major changes in the interim. Guitarist Alejandro Escovedo left the group to form the True Believers, and drummer Slim Evans had also parted ways with the band, leaving vocalists and songwriters Chip Kinman and Tony Kinman to record Long Gone Dead with a band of veteran session players, including Tom Petty drummer Stan Lynch, former Seatrain fiddler Richard Greene, and multi-instrumentalist Peter Grant, who'd previously picked with Guy Clark and the Incredible String Band. The result was a considerably lusher and more pop-oriented album than Sundown. While the band's maintained its country cred with tunes like ...

Rank And File CD music
$18.09
Additional personnel includes: Greg Lake, Gary Moore (vocals, guitar); Pete Sinfield (vocals, synthesizer); Tommy Eyre (vocals, keyboards); Steve Lukather, Dean Parks (guitar); Steve Dolan (bass); Min (drums, percussion).
Let's face it -- no matter how far he gets stylistically from his work with Emerson, Lake & Palmer, and he has gotten very far afield from it at times, Greg Lake's fandom is always going to be rooted in his work with the prog rock trio during the 1970s and its various incarnations since. So it's no surprise that the entire first half of this two-and-a-half-hour double-CD set is devoted to his music with King Crimson and ELP in one form or another. The down side for fans is that most people who would buy this double-CD set will already have many of the tracks on the first disc -- the only exceptions are the live 1972 version of "Take a Pebble" from the Mar y Sol Festival, which was a better showcase for Lake than for Emerson or Palmer, and "Still," the title track from Pete Sinfield's 1973 solo album, on which Lake shared the lead vocals with Sinfield; the producers were also obviously limited in what they could license of Lake's King Crimson work, or else they might well have included "Epitaph," but "Catfood" is a good substitute, as an unusually hard-rocking track off of the second Crimson album, which they're less likely to own. That all might be enough to lure ELP fans to buy this set -- if it isn't, however, then the second disc comes into play in terms of interest, devoted to Lake's harder-rocking solo material, as well as his forays with Emerson, Lake & Powell and the latter-day, re-formed Emerson, Lake & Palmer into the 1990s. His 1981 solo reinterpretation of Crimson's "Schizoid Man," which closes out the first disc, lacks the urgency of the 1969 Crimson original -- in those days, Robert Fripp would even jape at Lake for performing the song. But the solo tracks on disc two successfully show off Lake's heavier guitar-oriented sound, featuring Thin Lizzy alumnus Gary Moore, and could be a revelation for casual ELP ...

With the dawning of 1974, the future looked bright for the Coloured Balls. Their album Ball Power sat in the Top 10 and their performance at Sunbury 1974 over the Australia Day weekend had been a triumph. They were at the peak of their powers, yet, by the end of the year, fate had intervened and the band was simply crumbling under the weight of outside pressures: EMI calling for hit singles; the national media ...
| | Kenny Rogers/Kenny CD (2007) Reissued
Rank And File CD music
$16.19
Raven's 2007 two-fer pairs two eponymously titled albums from Kenny Rogers -- the 1977 United Artists release Kenny Rogers and 1979's Kenny. Kenny Rogers was the second album Rogers released for United Artists, following 1976's Love Lifted Me by a year. Love Lifted Me was a modest success, setting the stage for the breakthrough of Kenny Rogers. That breakthrough was largely fueled by "Lucille," the second single pulled from the LP. The first, "Laura (What's He Got That I Ain't I Got)," was a solid country hit, building upon his initial 1976 success, but "Lucille" opened all the doors for Kenny, turning into a pop crossover hit not only in the U.S. but in other countries as well, making him an international star. "Lucille" had a loping country beat but a pop sheen and was indicative of the rest of the album, which bounced between these two sides instead of balancing them the way the hit single did. For every pure country tune, such as Dallas Frazier's "The Son of Hickory Holler's Tramp" (made into a hit by Tom T. Hall) or even Don Williams' decidedly mellow "Lay Down Beside Me," there were tunes that took a bit of a broader, almost stereotypical view of country such as the 2-step "While I Play the Fiddle" and "Mother Country Music," a soft pop tune in every way but its title and sentiment. Even on this early LP, Kenny didn't avoid the middle of the road, turning in a loungey version of the standard crooner number "Green Green Grass of Home," but the best moments on Kenny Rogers was when he balanced his soft touch with songs that had a country backbone, as on those aforementioned hits, and tunes by Frazier and Williams, but also "Puttin' in Overtime at Home" whose easy rolling, slick country-rock pointed the way toward the future of country-pop not just for Kenny, but for country music at large.
Kenny arrived two years after Kenny Rogers and those were eventful years for Rogers. During that time, he became a major star, largely due to his version of "The Gambler," a song by Don Schlitz that Kenny turned into his own on his 1978 album of the same name (although it has to be said that Rogers' version bears a startling similarity to Bobby Bare's version released that very year). Kenny was the follow-up to The Gambler and it's clear from how the album glistens and shimmers that Kenny was intended to be a consolidation of his crossover success. Actually, it could even be seen as the album where Rog
Raven presents two multi-platinum selling albums on one cd, for the first time, from a true country/pop superstar - Kenny Rogers. the grammy and multi-cma award winning Rogers came to prominence with the New Christy Minstrels and The First Edition before striking out on his own. His breakthrough solo album 'Kenny Rogers' (1977) has never been reissued on cd before now and even his mega-hit lp from 1979, 'Kenny' has been unavailable for many years. All the more surprising ...
