| | Bob Dylan Collection CD Bob Dylan Discography of CDs
Gathering significant albums from three decades of Bob Dylan's career, this entry in Columbia's value-added COLLECTION series features 1966's collision of freewheeling poetry and kinetic R&B, BLONDE ON BLONDE, 1975's towering chronicle of love lost and lovers abandoned, BLOOD ON THE TRACKS, and Dylan's underrated yet compelling 1983 exploration into reggae territory, INFIDELS.
This third volume in Sony's collection edition of Bob Dylan's catalog is one of the more curious entries, as it assembles Blonde on Blonde, Blood on the Tracks, and Infidels. Given the other volumes in the series, it's a given that chronological order isn't the M.O; it would seem as though there is some kind of wacky aesthetic principle at work. There are some real thematic reasons for the juxtaposition of the first two LPs, and both of them are considered among Dylan's finest records, but Infidels -- in juxtaposition -- is a cipher, full of deep reggae grooves, apocalyptic sentiment, and Judeo-Christian obsessions -- and a fine love song or two. This would be an interesting place to start for the novice Dylan fan. ~ Thom Jurek

Purchase Collection CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Mike Bloomfield Super Session CD (1968) Bonus Tracks; Remastered
Collection album
 $6.75    
A surprise best-seller when it was first released, this mostly improvised pairing of singer/keyboardist/producer Al Kooper with two major guitar heroes of the day sounds fascinating all these years later precisely because of the distance of time--nobody makes records like this any more. The material runs the gamut from folk pop (covers of Donovan and Dylan), to blues ("Albert's Shuffle," "You Don't Love Me"), to heady jams ("His Holy Modal Majesty"), to big-band jazz ("Harvey's Tune").
All the tunes make effective templates for the kind off-the-cuff music-making that in less capable hands might have resulted in simple noodling. In fact, although Bloomfield and Stills don't play together on any of the cuts ...

Collection music CDs
$7.59 
This willfully eccentric album is among the most misunderstood in Dylan's catalog. It's surely the oddest recorded moment in a career far from devoid of left turns. Dylan himself doesn't even appear on the opening tune, wherein a female chorus repeats a spiritual-sounding refrain over strings and organ. Some of the tunes pick up where NASHVILLE SKYLINE left off, with Dylan crooning over country-ish backup. Elsewhere, he tackles an unusual group of cover tunes, including Gordon Lightfoot's "Early Morning Rain," Simon & Garfunkel's "The Boxer" and the Everly Brothers' classic "Take A Message To Mary."
He takes a relaxed, homespun approach on the traditional murder ballad "Little Sadie." He offers us a glimpse of Bob the bluesman on "Woogie Boogie" and the Elmore James chestnut "It Hurts Me Too." He even covers himself, with a new version of "Like A Rolling Stone." The eclectic outside material and the lack of any anthems for the Woodstock generation to hang their preconceptions on led many ...
| | Collection (The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan/The Times They Are A-Changin'/Another Side Of Bob Dylan) CDs (2005) Cube Box
Collection songs
$21.69
Bob Dylan's second, third, and fourth albums are part of an astonishing period of artistic growth that was to continue unabated until his 1966 motorcycle accident. FREEWHEELIN' finds the artist emerging from Woody Guthrie's shadow and creating classic and enduring early protest songs like "Masters of War," as well as simple, beautiful love songs like "Corrina, Corrina." TIMES captures Dylan's self-assured conflation of protest songs and stunning lyrical imagery, while ANOTHER SIDE is a drift away from protest music, a further consolidation of his singular style, and a strong hint of the seismic career changes to come.
This is the slipcase version of the second volume in Sony's three-pack of Bob Dylan albums -- they are issuing his entire catalog this way. While some of these volumes put two fine recordings together with a dog, there is nothing but gold here on Collection, Vol. 2: Freewheelin' Bob Dylan/Times They Are A-Changin'/Another Side; all are from Dylan's early years as a "folk" musician. Freewheelin' contains "Girl from the North Country," "Masters of War," "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall," "Don't ...
| | Badfinger Airwaves CD (1979)
Collection album
$9.69
Includes liner notes by Joe Tansin, Joey Molland & Dan Matovina.
Although AIRWAVES--the 1979 reunion album by original Badfinger members Joey Molland and Tom Evans--is not in the same league as Badfinger's early seventies power pop classics NO DICE and STRAIGHT UP, it is a strong album and perhaps the most pop-oriented record of Badfinger's career. Now reissued with improved sound, five bonus cuts and excellent liner notes, AIRWAVES provides ample proof that Badfinger made plenty of great music after the death of group leader Pete Ham.
By the time of the reunion, both Molland and Evans developed into first-rate writers. The album's key track is Molland's "Love Is Gonna Come At Last," a soaring power pop single that was a minor hit for the group in 1979. Featuring a gorgeous melody, shimmering ...

| | Polydream Rigid Shard Of Balance: 1 CD (2006)
Collection songs
$10.25
The seeds of Polydream were planted in May of 1998, when two small-town kids with big ambitions began performing as an acoustic duo in a tiny coffee shop in Medford, WI. The group gained Eric LeMieux on guitar; then in late 2004 the band became acquainted with a drummer/producer, Britton Rice. Rice, formerly of Lex Rex, spent most of 2005 working with Polydream on their debut EP, A Rigid Shard of Balance: 1. The work on "A Rigid Shard of Balance: 1" is described as “eclectic recipes that vary from Shoegazing beauties, to Sunny toss-arounds, to Epic pieces that pull on you… They are songs of courage, call to action, self-confirmation, spiritual intrigue, regret and more.”LYRICS:CATCH ME IF YOU CANHere we are another space in timeHere we are another window blindI can’t tell you our generation has a chanceTo ever fall into line…We can take our time‘Cause we’re free yeah, we’re free yeahCatch me if you can…Here we are another bleeding corpseHere we are another casualty of civil warI can’t tell you anything will everBe the way we’re promised it will be No guarantee‘Cause we’re free yeah, we’re free yeahCatch me if you can…Even Rome fell one dayAnd I know, some day…If we don’t try to live as one,We will not out last the sun‘Cause we’re free yeah, we’re free yeahCatch me if you can…Song by Lucas Etten, Jonathan Knudson, Eric LeMieux, Britton Rice© 2006 Tin Whisper Media GroupJUNERI’ve left my mindWith hopes of findingA reason for this life.I’ve learned to longTo lose what I’ve lovedSo it goes, sometimes.I think my life is fine.There’s no use in asking me why.Sometime my dreams are to die,And I wonder what it’d be like to fly.I’ve left my mind.You lose and you learn…I’ve been bitter but I’m much, much better today.I’ve got so longYou’ll only live once.I don’t know what you said, but it just don’t matter now.I think my life is fine.There’s no use in asking me why.Sometime my dreams are to die,And I wonder what it’d be like to fly.What you have is all you need.Talking out of sympathy.This, your final serenade.Consider this your serenade.I think my life is fine.There’s no use in asking me why.Sometime my dreams are to die,And I wonder what it’d be like to fly.Song by Lucas Etten, Jonathan Knudson, Eric LeMieux, Britton Rice© 2006 Tin Whisper Media GroupEVRYTHING ELSE COMES TO LIFEGo and pack your suitcasePack your car and leave before tonightYou've gotta find a new placeDrive into LA with the morning lightAnd paint that face babyBecome someone that you never knew before ISaw you on the TV, and I heard your voice on the radio Now you believe in anythingThat you can see and feelAnything beyond the darkened skyDoesn't seem to be realYou've taken off for shoreNow what's everyone looking for?I see the sun in your eyesAnd everything else comes to life Now that everybody knows youDon't you wish that you could go back and be no one again?The no one that I called my best friendI saw you on the tvAnd I didn't even recognize your faceThen I heard you on the radio and you came back in and filled your empty spaceBut you’re way too much for me Cause I saw you sliding away into the seaAnd this lifeLet's you know who you areAnd you are the only one that kept on dreaming"I could be all I want" But you bite the ...
