| | Amerie Touch CD Amerie Discography of CDs
 (7 Customer Reviews)
This is a DualDisc, which contains a CD on one side of the disc and a DVD on the other.
Since Amerie broke onto the scene with her 2002 debut, ALL I HAVE, she's acted in films and been a BET television host. So for her sophomore effort, TOUCH, the D.C. native drew from these experiences in taking a bolder and more explicit approach towards revealing a more sensual and self-confident side of her persona. The 20-something songbird gets straight to the point on the Lil' Jon-produced title track, where she alternates between coyness and aggression over a squiggly synth line with a faintly Arabic flavor. In working her hip-hop/soul groove, Amerie gets plenty of mileage from vintage samples, from the Roy Ayers saxophone riff that gooses the heavy thump of "Rolling Down My Face" to the Gamble & Huff-penned Ebonys sample at the heart of the bonus "Why Don't We Fall in Love" Richcraft Remix. But nothing hits the mark more than "1 Thing," a go-go flavored slice of funk driven by a sample from the Meters' "Oh Calcutta." Upping the ante even more is a second version featuring plenty of sass from guest rapper Eve.
This dualdisc includes exclusive behind-the-scenes footage from NYC Virgin Mega Store in-store album release party @ club QUO NYC and 3 video performances (one featuring Eve). The CD side features 13 audio tracks.
Personnel: Amerie (vocals); Carl Thomas (vocals); Eve (rap vocals); Andre Harris, Vidal Davis (various instruments).Rolling Stone (p.79) - 3 stars out of 5 - "Amerie is all grown up on her second effort. And in this case, growth is good."

This limited edition of WARNING contains a 64-page booklet. It is packaged in a digipack in a green plastic bag.
To debate whether or not Green Day truly was or is a punk band in the purest definition of the punk ethic now seems irrelevant. If nothing else, they're a pop band who can't seem to help but write good songs--in the case of WARNING, some really good songs. This album makes up for any missteps the band may have taken since the fluke success of DOOKIE.

| | Diamanda Galas Plague Mass (1984 End Of The Epidemic) CD (1991)
Touch CD music
$10.69 
Diamanda Galas, who has been known for both her own work and as a singer of extremely demanding modern scores, created this heart-wrenching cry about the physical suffering caused by the AIDS plague being compounded by the shameful arrogance of self-appointed moralists. Maintaining an incredible intensity and depth for over an hour's solo vocal (recorded live at The Cathedral of St. John the Divine, NYC, with suitably minimal band and electronics backup), Galas proceeds through Mahalia Jackson-influenced ...

| | Tracy Byrd It's About Time CD
Touch songs
$6.29
Tracy Byrd's seventh album, IT'S ABOUT TIME, marks the first time he's done things his way. It's the first album he's co-produced, and the first, he says, to include songs he really wanted to record, rather than songs he was told to. If that's true, IT'S ABOUT TIME reveals Byrd to be an artist who's moved far beyond ditties like "Watermelon Crawl."
Nearly every song he's chosen carries a strong emotional message. ...

| | Pete Siers Those Who Choose To Swing CD (1999)
Touch album
$18.99
Although Pete Siers is the leader on this album, the true star of the set is pianist Johnny O'Neal. Siers' drums are, for the most part, relegated to the background except for his passion for the ride cymbal, which he tends to pound rather than massage. This a Detroit group, all with excellent jazz credentials. Piano player O'Neal spent time withArt Blakey's Jazz Messengers during the early 1980s and then with the Ray Brown Trio. Bassist Paul Keller had been on albums with Russell Malone and Diana Krall. The Trio's leader, Pete Siers, also worked with Malone. Given these references, it is not unreasonable to expect a more innovative, imaginative outcome. Technically, the performances are top-notch; inspirationally, however, they fall a little short of the mark. In fact, those who prefer an abrasive element to their music will find this album slick, and perhaps even dull. Nonetheless, there is some excellent playing by the group, especially O'Neal. Listen to his driving, lyrical piano on Coleman Hawkins' "39"-25"-39." ...

Assembeled and remastered at The Village Recorder, Los Angeles by Ed Michel and Baker Bigsby.
There's no shortage of albums in this world entitled either THE BEST OF B.B. KING or some variation thereof. Fortunately, the inestimably influential blues guitarist has a colossal and consistently impressive discography that warrants a couple of dozen best-of compilations.
At 10 tracks, EMI's 2006 collection is a basic primer on King, featuring a full roster of the legendary performer's straightforward, soulful vocals and smooth, perfectly phrased fret work. There's no "The Thrill Is Gone" or "Caldonia" here, but King's take on "Everyday (I Have the Blues)" and the smooth swing of "Why I Sing the Blues" more than compensate. The lack of liner notes and recording information will frustrate some listeners, but it won't detract from the excellent music on offer.
This solid three-CD boxed set overview of B.B. King's post-1960s career contains favorites like "The Thrill Is Gone" and "How Blue Can You Get?" as well Stevie Wonder's "To Know You Is to Love You," the latter an example of the master guitarist's impeccable taste in choosing songs to suit his style. King's late-1960s resurgence as an influence on young white musicians like Eric Clapton and Mike Bloomfield led to many crossover collaborations with rock artists (including Clapton and, eventually, U2), illustrated here by the inclusion of Leon Russell's "Hummingbird." The string arrangements on King's version, together with those on "Ghetto Woman" and the aforementioned "Thrill Is Gone," also show the attempts the bluesman made to enhance his commercial appeal. But ultimately King's music is best ...
