New York was red-hot with rock bands in the first half of the new millennium, but few were quite as straight-ahead, nuts-and-bolts, and elemental as textbook, no-frills pop/rockers the Fame. For its sonic inspiration on this debut EP, the quartet looked back about as far as 1975 and then forward to roughly 1982. The years prior to that narrow window of time and all the ones that came after it seem largely to have escaped the band's notice. This, in other words, is the muscular sound of a N.Y.C. that existed before these guys (and one gal) probably were even born, or at least while they were still sucking on pacifiers. But so what. Anachronistic though it is, the music is also as taut and glossy as black leather, and the songwriting, best exemplified by Get on the Beat's bookend tunes, the title track, and "The Bedford Girls," is ballsy and hook-filled. If there is the prospect that the album plays like a self-conscious retro act, at least it's a strong act. ~ Stanton Swihart Get On The Beat Music | Category | Rock/Pop Albums, Rock CDs, Oldies, 80's | | Label | The Fame | | Orig Year | 2005 | | CD Universe Part number | 7156750 | | Catalog number | 14524 | | Discs | 1 | | Release Date | Jul 05, 2005 | | Studio/Live | Studio | | Mono/Stereo | Stereo | | Recording Time | 18 minutes |

| | Paul McCartney Good Evening New York City CDs (2009) With DVD; Digipak
Get On The Beat
$15.98 
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

| | John Fogerty Blue Ridge Rangers Rides Again CDs (2009) With DVD; Deluxe Edition
Get On The Beat
$14.29
John Fogerty released his first solo CD, an album of covers on which he played all the instruments, under the name the "Blue Ridge Rangers," and he revives that concept on 2009's THE BLUE RIDGE RANGERS RIDES AGAIN. Where the first smacked of the righteous zeal of a young purist, RIDES AGAIN is a lot looser in its attack, which is reflected in the way it splits the difference between country and rockabilly classics and reflective numbers from '70s songwriters. These unexpected covers of John Prine, Delaney & Bonnie, and John Denver offer a peek at a sweeter, gentler Fogerty, a Fogerty who can also be heard on how he lays back instead of pushing ahead on Buck Owens' "I Don't Care (Just as Long as You Love Me)" and Ray Price's "I'll Be There," and even on his revamp of his own neglected swamp rocker "Change in the Weather." He can still raise an unholy ruckus however, wailing his ...
