| | Billy Bragg Volume 1 CD Billy Bragg Discography of CDs
 (1 Customer Review)
Even devoted Billy Bragg fans who have followed the singer-songwriter's albums throughout the '90s and 2000s are likely to agree that the artist's best work is his earliest. Bragg was a passionate, outspoken figure who married punk immediacy to folk-styled songwriting, and whose unerringly clever and detail-rich lyrics addressed both political and emotional matters with equal insight. He released a series of albums and EPs in the '80s that still sound fresh and relevant today.
VOLUME 1 BOX SET is a compendium of all of Bragg's early recordings, including his debut EP LIFE'S A RIOT WITH SPY VS. SPY, his excellent full-length albums BREWING UP WITH BILLY BRAGG and TALKING WITH THE TAXMAN ABOUT POETRY, and the various EPs and singles in between. VOLUME 1 also includes work from THE INTERNATIONALE, the 1990 release that marked the change in Bragg's approach from stripped-down singer-with-guitar to a more a robust, pop-oriented sound. The set is packed with extras, including alternate takes, rare singles, unreleased material, and two DVDs featuring concert and television appearances. But the thrill of having Bragg's excellent songs from the era--and there are many of them--under one cover is the set's real treasure.

Volume 1 album
 $26.69  
From the Doors' own Bright Midnight Records comes this double-disc package featuring the first of two sets performed on July 21, 1969, at the Aquarius Theater in Hollywood. The evening was billed as " Elektra Records Showcase Concert Series Presents..." and, as lead vocalist Jim Morrison announces at the outset, these homecoming performances were done for the express purpose of gathering material for a live album. Indeed, this was only the fifth concert appearance that the Doors had been able to secure in the wake of what is referred to as "the Miami incident." While at times pensive, the band members ultimately rise to the occasion as they wind through a set ...
| | Harold Mabern Few Miles From Memphis CD (1968)
Volume 1 CD music
$14.15 
On A Few Miles from Memphis, recorded by pianist Harold Mabern in 1968, he's joined by tenors George Coleman and Buddy Terry, bassist Bill Lee, and drummer Walter Perkins for a bluesy, rhythm-filled set featuring familiar fare like "A Treat for Bea" and fun originals like "Walkin' Back." There's also the odd inclusion of "There's a Kind of Hush," a pop song that comes out sounding like an old standard here. ~ Ronnie D. Lankford Jr.
When record labels like Prestige release two albums on one CD, it's a great bargain for music fans. A Few Miles from Memphis combines the album of the same name and Rakin' and Scrapin', both recorded by pianist Harold Mabern in 1968. On the first set he's joined by tenors George Coleman and Buddy Terry, bassist Bill Lee, and drummer Walter Perkins for ...
| | Billy Bragg Volume 2 CDs (2006) Bonus DVD; Remastered; Box Set
Volume 1 music CDs
$63.35
The first four years of Billy Bragg's recording career (1982 to 1986) were a blur of record releases that established the froggy-voiced "Bard from Barking" as perhaps the most powerful and engaging political songwriter to emerge since the "folk scare" of the 1960s. From 1988 on, however, Bragg had the difficult task of living up to his own legacy, and that proved to be no small task; as he stylistically outgrew the rough electric guitar and vocal textures of Brewing Up with Billy Bragg and Life's a Riot with Spy vs. Spy, Bragg didn't display the same immediate skill at "proper" record-making and took his time growing comfortable with the craft of the studio, and while he never ran out of things to write and sing about, as the 1980s faded into the 1990s his songs lost a certain amount of the sharp wit and keen focus that was second nature on his early records. (It also became clear the material ...
| | Ike & Tina Turner Nutbush City Limits/Feel Good CD (2006) Bonus Tracks
Volume 1 songs
$17.79
Raven's 2006 two-fer Nutbush City Limits/Feel Good combines two of Ike & Tina Turner's last albums together and adds five bonus tracks, three of which were taken from other Ike & Tina albums from the early '70s, one taken from a Tina solo record, and one disco mix of "Nutbush City Limits." The album that arrives first on this two-fer was actually the last of these two to be released: Nutbush City Limits appeared in 1973, a year after Feel Good, but its title track is one of Ike & Tina's best-known songs so it's an appropriate choice to kick off this disc. Besides, the two records are so similar in tone and approach, it'd be easy to assume that Feel Good arrived before Nutbush, but that isn't to say they're interchangeable. Both records are hard day-glo funk, overloaded with fuzz guitars, wah wahs, clavinets and horn sections, but of the two, Nutbush City Limits is a bit closer ...
| | Raga For Peter Walker CD (2006) Digipak
Volume 1 album
$11.09
Many of the legends of acoustic guitar in the 20th century have already passed on -- John Fahey, Robbie Basho, Ali Farka Toure. Due partially to his spare recording career, Peter Walker's own reputation has not always been as well known as those of said giants, but his own influence has been considerable. A Raga for Peter Walker -- a tribute album that, in a nice touch, not only consists of work composed by its contributors rather than simply offering up covers but also features some original work by its subject in question -- helps to demonstrate this while he is still here to receive acknowledgement of it. Walker's four originals, all ...
| | Johnny Clueless Secrets Of The Universe CD (1995)
Volume 1 CD music
$11.39
It's All Good, the latest release by Minneapolis rockers, gb leighton, is a hook - heavy 12-song disc filled with honest, soulful, rock 'n' roll of the best kind. From the full and mature sound of the first cut, 'Most Important Night Of My Life,' to the boardwalk rock of 'Fly My Plane,' and the roots flavor of 'County Road,' It's All Good is rock music reminiscent of John Mellencamp and Bruce Springsteen, yet singularly gb leighton. Displaying his growth as a songwriter, It's All Good comes straight from the heart of a true musician and showcases good old fashioned rock 'n' roll; as was Leighton's intention. "We rocked this one up a little bit more, went a ...
