New Riders Of The Purple Sage CD (1971) Bonus Tracks; Remastered

Stinging Nettles

$7.49

New Riders of the Purple Sage: Dave Torbert (bass instrument, background vocals); David Nelson, John Dawson. In the early 1970s, with the likes of the Band, the Grateful Dead, and Crosby, Stills & Nash all turning away from the orgy of the senses that was the '60s, toward a simpler, more deeply rooted place, country rock became de rigeur. Shortly after the Dead made their move from acid tests to hoedowns, their pals Dave Torbert and John "Marmaduke" Dawson followed suit. Torbert and Dawson were the heart of New Riders of the Purple Sage, aided on their debut album by Dead buddies Jerry Garcia and Mickey Hart. There's a still-slightly-stoned, morning-after feel here that works well with the New Riders' low-key style. Their cowboy/hippie/outlaw ethic is espoused on the likes of "Last Lonely Eagle" and "Glendale Train" as horse trails meet Haight-Ashbury in an agreeably ramshackle manner. Anyone who enjoyed the Grateful Dead's Workingman's Dead or American Beauty and wanted more, then or now, should get this record and follow that with the Riders' next two albums. With Jerry Garcia and Mickey Hart in tow and the Jefferson Airplane's Spencer Dryden playing what drums Hart didn't, plus Commander Cody at the piano, New Riders of the Purple Sage is some of the most spaced-out country-rock of the period. Even ignoring the big names working with John Dawson, David Nelson, and Dave Torbert, however, this is a good record, crossing swords with the ...

B B King Blues CD (1960) (Import) Bonus Tracks; United Kingdom

Stinging Nettles

$12.55
Recorded in 1960, THE BLUES was one of the last albums B.B. King cut for the Crown label before moving to ABC-Paramount. The record has a loose, roadhouse vibe and features King backed by a full band, including horns, piano, harmonica, and a thumping rhythm section. At the heart of the set are, of course, King's stinging, soulful leads and his passionate vocals, serving up instant classics like "Why Does Everything Happen to Me" and "When My Heart Beats Like a Hammer." The album is distinguished by a raw, ragged feel, which proves refreshing in light of the artist's subsequent slicker recordings. Originally released in 1958 by the budget-priced Crown label, The Blues collected a dozen sides B.B. King cut for RPM and Kent between 1951 and 1958. (RPM and Kent were owned by the Bahari Brothers who also ran Crown, which explains how one of the true prestige artists of the blues ended up on such a notoriously cheap-o label.) As was often the case with Crown's product, The Blues used a single hit tune (in this case "When My Heart Beats Like a Hammer," a Top Ten R&B chart entry in 1954) to help sell a package of lesser-known material, but thankfully the label also picked some great tunes that hardly sound like filler, even if they didn't make the charts. The material on The Blues is dominated by muscular, horn-driven performances with King's interjections of single-note riffs and powerful string bends punctuating the arrangements, and King's songwriting was already stellar, with "I Want to Get Married," "Don't You Want a Man Like Me," and "Ruby Lee" demonstrating ...

Although the orchestrations have been criticised as over-elaborate, there is no denying their impact on the title track and songs like "Swiss Cottage Manoeuvres" and "Scandinavian Girl" manage to shine through. Also of interest are the delicate instrumental "Denise at 16," the Procol Harum-like "Beleeka Doodle Day," and "The Carmichaels," an account of a loveless marriage that looks ahead both lyrically and stylistically to his next album. Perhaps the highlight is "Samuel, Oh How You've Changed," which matches sensitive lyrics to a pretty melody. In the wake of subsequent critical success Stewart's ...

The 18-minute title track, a chronicle of amorous exploits, attracted attention for including the word "fucking" (then taboo in pop songs) as well as alluding to impotence. The five shorter songs are uniformly excellent, from "In Brooklyn," the account of Al's first visit to New York, to the grim Soho tale "Old Compton Street Blues," and the wry "You Should Have Listened to Al." Particularly vivid are the lyrics of "Life and Life Only," which deal with personal relationships as observed by a child, who concludes "and I was feeling small, sitting on the wall / looking ...

Jesus Alemany Cubanismo CD (1996)

Cubanismo! is a rollicking, entertaining collection of Cuban-inspired jazz recorded with pianist Alfredo Rodriguez and a host of Havana musicians. Jesús Alemañy sounds vigorous throughout the album, spurring his team of supporting musicians to great performances. It's an album that emphasizes the Latin rhythms of Latin jazz, not the jazz and it is all the stronger for it. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine Feat.Alfredo Rodriguez Eff.9/2/2 From 16.98 To 11.98 Recorded at Egrem Studios, Havana, Cuba in May 1995.
