| | Missing Numbers CD - Import Missing Numbers Discography of CDs
Although the members of Minneapolis' Missing Numbers have histories in the roots rock scene (drummer Johnny Crist was in the Dashboard Saviors and keyboardist Bob McCreedy is ex-Volebeats), the group's debut album has much more in common with the noir blues-rock of Boston trio Morphine than the average alt-country act. This is due in large part to singer/songwriter Jimmy Peterson's dusky, Mark Sandman-style sing-speak voice and the conversational tone of lyrics like "The Trouble with You" and "This Is Nowhere." The songs are mostly minor-key blues, staying away from standard-issue 4/4 beats in favor of a more open, spacious musical landscape for Peterson and lead guitarist Casey Gooby, whose axe-wielding idol seems to be some cross between Neil Young and Rain Parade's David Roback, given Gooby's fondness for long-held notes draped in echo and feedback. Overall, the Missing Numbers have perfected a sound of their own, but they cling so tenaciously to it, with only the most subtle changeups between one song and the next, that it makes their debut album sound a bit one-note when listened to as a whole. ~ Stewart Mason
This Minneapolis quartet fell together accidentally when members of Bellwether and Janitor Bob came together for a one-off show... in a mere five days they had captured the 8 tracks featured on this moody, darkish, urban blues-influenced rock record.
Personnel: Casey Gooby (guitar); Jimmy Peterson (Fender Rhodes piano); Mike Derrick (upright bass); John Crist (drums).
Recording information: 2004.

Missing Numbers album

Initial pressings of GREATEST HITS VOLUME 2 included a bonus CD.
"It's Five O'Clock Somewhere" won the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Country Song. The song was also nominated for Best Country Collaboration With Vocals.
Anyone who earns a second volume of GREATEST HITS has obviously learned a thing or two about staying power and consistency of artistic vision. Such is the case with Alan Jackson, who appeared in the 1990s as mainstream country's alternative to the dominance of King Garth. His sound was still eminently accessible, but the faux-Springsteen drama of Kiss fan Garth's rock manque was eschewed for a more roots-oriented (though hardly traditionalist) sound. Things kick ...

AMERICAN RECORDINGS won the 1995 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Folk Album.
Johnny Cash is back and better than ever. The legendary Man In Black is now recording for a modern rock label, and is being produced by hard-core rap/rock guru Rick Rubin--and the results are startling. Spare and stripped to the bone, AMERICAN RECORDINGS is Johnny Cash at his artistic zenith.
An original acoustic ballad, the opening "Delia's Gone" is a watershed accomplishment. Wryly ...
| | Ball Tonight CD (1993)
Missing Numbers music CDs
$17.79
Picture this -- it's like 1956 and you're playing in some band down south or in one of the border states, thinking of really making it in the music business, and there's this rock & roll that all of the kids are buying, and it's got a beat and you've got the voice to pull it off the way that "hillbilly cat" from Memphis is doing it, so you and your band get a local businessman to back you for one single, and then there's two hundred bucks blown and the record never charts, or even makes it into stores more than a few miles from your hometown, but it gets you some gigs just having it out. And then Buffalo Bop comes along 40 years later and gets hold of it all and throws these records onto a CD like this. That's what Buffalo Bop is about, gathering together rockabilly's ersatz and also-rans, 30 songs at a time, and delivering the music up whole at the end of the 20th century. These releases have no notes, just a few surviving publicity shots where they exist (which help explain why a lot of the decent sounding acts here didn't make it -- they sounded ...

Patti Wicks is a singing pianist who can be somewhat compared to Shirley Horn, though she has a huskier voice and a smaller range. But her effectiveness in interpreting the lyrics to each of the 14 songs on Love Locked Out is never in question, as she gets to the essence of each of them, while providing just the right accompaniment. ...

After the runaway success of Big & Rich's 2004 debut, HORSE OF A DIFFERENT COLOR, the quirky Nashville duo was in serious demand, both producing and appearing on albums by numerous artists. Despite their busy itineraries, Big & Rich's second full-length, COMIN' TO YOUR CITY, doesn't disappoint, offering up more of their wild and wooly rock-tinged country antics.
A sonic fusion of Brooks & Dunn and Barenaked Ladies, John Rich and Big Kenny wear their whimsy like well-fitted cowboy hats, as is apparent on "The Freak ...
