| | Frames Dance The Devil CD Frames Discography of CDs
On their 1999 album Dance The Devil, Dublin's Frames craft more of the passionate rock that has made them popular in their homeland. Songs like "Pavement Tune" are catchy and focused, making this collection their best to date. ~ Heather Phares
Unavailable in the U.S.! Dance The Devil is the third album from this Dublin, Ireland-based band led by former Commitments co-star Glen Hansard, who would later gain fame in the critically successful music-based film Once. In the U.S., the band changed their name to The Frames D.C. to avoid confusion with an American band who were using the same moniker (and where are they now?). On Dance The Devil, Hansard provides the band with another plate full of great songs that are played by the band with passion and gusto. 11 tracks. ZTT Records.

Purchase Dance The Devil CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Frames For The Birds CD (2001)
Dance The Devil album
$12.19 For the Birds opens with "In the Deep Shade," an understated instrumental that sets the mood for the rest of the album. Despite some relatively peppy numbers such as "Fighting on the Stairs," the wailing guitar sound on songs such as "Early Bird" and "Santa Maria," and the expectations some listeners may have for an album recorded with Craig Ward (dEUS) and Steve Albini (Pixies, Nirvana, Rapeman), this is primarily a gentle, slow, and melancholic album. It features melodic, folk-influenced rock songs (somewhere in the general ...
| | Frames Roads Outgrown CD (2003)
Dance The Devil CD music
$8.85 An odds-and-ends collection of rare B-sides, recasts of older tracks, and one live number, The Roads Outgrown also serves as a good brief introduction to the latter period of a band that has undergone significant stylistic change over the course of its existence. "Lay Me Down," the opening song, is the keeper of the bunch, with its bottoming-out bass drum rumbling underneath a hopelessly forlorn violin. There's also a worthy cover of Will Oldham's "New Partner" and a soaring live version of "Fitzcarraldo," one of the band's best songs. ~ ...
| | Frames Burn The Maps CD (2005)
Dance The Devil music CDs
$11.35 One of Ireland's most accomplished musical exports, the Frames built a fan base at home and abroad with tireless touring and passionate albums such as 1996's FITZCARRALDO and 2001's FOR THE BIRDS. BURN THE MAPS, the Frames' 2005 debut for the Anti label, is arguably their most focused and polished effort to date. The band's simmering intensity, folk-rock leanings, and sometimes explosive, dynamic rock (which can rival ...
| | Susan Boyle I Dreamed A Dream CD (2009)
Dance The Devil songs
$9.58 Susan Boyle's grand unveiling on Britain's Got Talent was with a song from Les Miserables - the very song that lends this album its title -- and if she could become an international sensation based on a show tune standard, there's no reason for her to change her approach on her debut, since that's the sound that made her a star. Plus, a large part of Boyle's appeal is that she's a middle-aged woman recalling a bygone era when there were singers that appealed to an adult audience by offering soft, stately versions of pop hits and standards. That time was the late `60s and early `70s, and apart from a rather faithful version of Madonna's "You'll See," I Dreamed a Dream could very well have been released all those years ago, as it mixes up the show tunes, gospel, and Christmas carols with covers of Skeeter Davis' "The End of the World," the Rolling Stones' "Wild Horses," and a version of "Daydream Believer" that is easily the slowest on record. Boyle sings beautifully throughout, delivering more of the same of what she did in her moment in the sun on television. Those won over by Boyle, either her voice or story, will surely be satisfied.
There's no question that Susan Boyle's story is inspiring, but ...
| | Paul McCartney Good Evening New York City CDs (2009) With DVD; Digipak
Dance The Devil album
$15.64 Unlike its 2002 predecessor Back in the U.S., Good Evening New York City doesn't cherrypick highlights from a tour, it commemorates a specific event: the inauguration of Citi Field -- the replacement for the now-defunct Shea Stadium, where the Beatles played a legendary show in 1965 -- in the summer of 2009. The circumstances may be different -- different enough to lead to a Billy Joel cameo on "I Saw Her Standing There," the piano man returning a favor from Paul, who played at Billy's Shea-closing shows in 2008 -- and McCartney might have two strong albums of new material to draw upon, but as an album, Good Evening New York City plays a lot like Back in the U.S. with a whopping 17 of its 35 tracks shared between the two titles. More importantly, the vibe is the same, with Macca delivering an expertly balanced and sequenced set with all the skill of the old pro that he is. Apart from the inclusion of "Mrs. Vanderbilt" and "I'm Down," there are no surprises, either in song selection or performance, but no surprises doesn't mean no satisfaction, and this is plenty entertaining
Unlike its 2002 predecessor, Back in the U.S./Back in the World, Good Evening New York City doesn't cherrypick highlights from a tour, it commemorates ...

| | Manfred Mann EP Collection CD (1989)
Dance The Devil songs
$12.09 Extended-play formats were hugely popular in the U.K. during the 1960s. Often EPs were collections of previous singles or selected cuts from albums -- their popularity due to albums not being an affordable item for many consumers until the end of the decade. Unlike many acts, Manfred Mann were to use the EP format as an opportunity to showcase new material. Only releasing two albums during their stay with EMI, a huge number of tracks not considered for singles found their way onto EPs, three of which The One in the Middle, There's No Living Without Your Loving, and Machines ...
| | Timi Yuro What's A Matter Baby CD (1963)
Dance The Devil album
$15.15 This RPM reissue of soulful 1960s singer Timi Yuro features the title hit, "What's A Matter Baby," and all the songs are in hi-fi stereo.
There are four bonus tracks on this album: "Love of a Boy," "I Ain't Gonna Cry No More," "If I Never Get to Love You," and "Insult to Injury."
The title track of Timi Yuro's third album, What's a Matter Baby, was one of her biggest hits, both on the charts and in terms of sound: more than once, Yuro's voice saturates the song, sending recording gauges (and eardrums) into the red. Yuro's big, beautiful, powerful voice lent itself to a variety of settings; aside from the soulful "What's a Matter Baby" and "Hurt," ...
