| | Ian Hunter CD Ian Hunter Discography of CDs
After leaving Mott the Hoople in early 1975, Ian Hunter quickly threw himself into recording this eponymous solo debut. Not surprisingly, it contains a lot of the glam rock charm of Hunter's old group: "The Truth, the Whole Truth, Nothing But the Truth" and "I Get So Excited" are fist-pumping tunes that combine punchy hard rock riffs with intelligent lyrics in a manner similar to Mott the Hoople's finest moments. However, Ian Hunter pulls off this grandiose sound without the overtly ornate production that defined the final Mott the Hoople albums because Mick Ronson's cleverly crafted arrangements manage to create a big wall of sound without utilizing a huge amount of instruments or overdubs. As a result, Ian Hunter's lyrics shine through in each song and show off his totally personalized mixture of attitude and intelligence: the legendary and oft-covered "Once Bitten, Twice Shy" is a cheeky, clever exploration of rock & roll's ability to corrupt the innocent, and "Boy" is a critique of a rocker who has allowed his pretensions to overpower his heart (many say this tune was aimed at fellow star and onetime Mott the Hoople producer David Bowie). Another highlight is "It Ain't Easy When You Fall," a moving tribute to a fallen friend that gracefully builds from delicate verses into a soaring chorus. The end result is a memorable debut album that gives listeners their hard rock fix and manages to engage their brains at the same time. Anyone interested in the finest moments of 1970s glam rock should give this classic a spin. ~ Donald A. Guarisco

Ian Hunter album
 $22.75  
Very few Led Zeppelin performances were caught on camera during the band's life-span, but the footage that has been preserved for posterity is collected on this release. With a running time of over five-and-a-half hours, this is the definitive word on Zep's global stage-straddling performances. The footage is taken from London's Royal Albert Hall in January 1970, London's Earls Court in May 1975, Knebworth in August 1979, and Madison Square Garden in July 1973. Guitarist Jimmy Page has taken great care to restore, remix, and remaster the sound from these shows, providing a visual and sonic assault that offers indisputable proof of Led Zeppelin's reputation as a rock & roll behemoth.

Ian Hunter CD music
$14.29
IF YOU SAW THRO' MY EYES is the 1971 solo album from Ian Matthews, who was once a member of the bands Fairport Convention, Plainsong, and Matthews Southern Comfort.
This limited-edition Japanese CD is a digitally remastered reissue with a replica of the album's original artwork.
One-time Fairport Convention member and leader of the short-lived Matthews' Southern Comfort, singer-songwriter Ian Matthews released this album, his official solo debut, in 1971. Though Matthews is from the U.K. and cut his teeth in that most English of folk-rock acts mentioned above, his own work has much more in common with the twangy, laid-back country-rock (see the Gene Clark-esque opening track, "Desert Inn") of the Laurel Canyon scene than it does with the traveling minstrel jams in which his fellow Englishmen were indulging at the same time. Interestingly, although he was ultimately booted from the band, Matthews gets some help here from Fairport Conventioneers Richard Thompson and Sandy Denny. The stellar California-based label Water reissued the album in 2007.
One of the founding members of Fairport Convention, ...

Amidst extensive worldwide travel with the United States Air Force, Brinson has shared the Gospel through song and Word in such foreign countries as Songtan, Korea as a musician, psalmist, director and Senior Pastor of the Center of Praise Church of God in Christ in Aviano, Italy. Shortly after Brinson's release from the military - just days before the nation's September 11th experience in 2001, Brinson accepted the invitation to serve as both Associate and Music Pastor at the New Hope International Church in Central Georgia. He is also Assistant Regional Director of Worship for the Southern Atlantic Region of the Full Gospel Baptist Church Fellowship.In 2004, Brinson released his first CD, Forever Yours. Although his first recording experience, he knew it would not be the last. With the expectation of a sophomore project to match the first, a life-altering encounter with God in 2007 propelled Brinson to eagerly create what is now, The Sound of Hope. After isolated intense writing sessions and upper room worship, Brinson has truly exceeded the anticipations of many, presenting a project that boasts a selection ...

An internet sensation from his renditions of several pop and pop-oriented R&B hits, he was still only 15 years old when he released this, his first album -- though it's more like an EP since it is contains only seven songs that are 25 minutes in duration. Given the comfort level he showed in the material he covered, My World plays it straight, ...
