 (3 Customer Reviews)
This isn't a Foreigner album, but it definitely sounds like one. From start to finish, Shadow King's only album finds the short-lived band emulating Foreigner's sound -- which isn't surprising, because Shadow King was formed by Foreigner vocalist Lou Gramm. Quite often, artists who have left well-known bands opted to try something different with their own bands. Gramm, however, made certain that Shadow King was as Foreigner-sounding as possible, which isn't necessarily a bad thing if you're heavily into his work with that famous hard rock/arena rock outfit. The main difference between the two bands was the personnel -- instead of collaborating with Mick Jones and Ian McDonald, Gramm was joined by bassist Bruce Turgon (formerly of Black Sheep), guitarist Vivian Campbell, and drummer Kevin Valentine when he led this group. Together, Gramm and Turgon wrote most of the material on this CD, and while the results are very Foreigner-minded, this album isn't in a class with Foreigner's best 1970s and 1980s work. This competent, if formulaic, effort doesn't contain any classics -- none of the power ballads are in a class with "Waiting for a Girl Like You" or "I Want to Know What Love Is," and none of the rockers are as memorable as "Hot Blooded," "Feels Like the First Time," or "Cold as Ice." The bottom line is that even though Gramm and Turgon were a capable team, they didn't enjoy quite as strong a rapport as Gramm and Jones. Shadow King's album isn't bad, but it isn't remarkable either. Not recommended to those who have only a casual interest in Gramm's work, this CD is strictly for the singer's most hardcore fans. ~ Alex Henderson

Purchase Shadow King CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Bob Dylan Christmas In The Heart CD (2009)
Shadow King album
 $12.85   
After the initial shock fades, the existence of CHRISTMAS IN THE HEART seems perhaps inevitable. After all, the thing Bob Dylan loves most of all are songs that are handed down from generation to generation, songs that are part of the American fabric, songs so common they never seem to have been written. These are the songs Dylan chooses to sing on CHRISTMAS IN THE HEART, a cheerfully old-fashioned holiday album from its Norman Rockwell-esque cover to its joyous backing vocals. Apart from the breakneck "Must Be Santa," which barrelhouses like a barroom, Dylan doesn't really reinterpret these songs as much as simply play them with his crackerjack road band, dropping in a little flair -- restoring "we'll have to muddle through somehow" to "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," singing ...

Digitally remastered by Kevin Reeves (Capitol Studios, Hollywood, California).
The selection and sequencing strategy adopted by compiler Ron Furmanek for The Ultimate Peter & Gordon is easy to see. Allowed to pick 20 tracks, he has chosen all 14 songs by the '60s British duo that reached Billboard magazine's Hot 100 chart, from major hits like "A World Without Love," "Lady Godiva," and "I Go to Pieces" to minor ones like "To Show I Love You" and "The Jokers." The remaining six selections are either non-charting A-side singles ("You've Had Better Times"), B-sides ("Love Me, Baby," "The Town I Live In"), or album tracks ("I Still Love You," "Broken Promises," "My First Day Alone"). The selections have been sequenced in chronological order by recording date, not release date, so that, for example, "Don't Pity Me," which was released as a single in November 1965, precedes "To Know You Is to Love You," which was released as a single in July 1965 because "Don't Pity Me" was actually recorded 19 days before "To Know You Is to Love You." The sequencing gives a good sense of the duo's development, from the harmony-filled soft rock sound of their first three Paul McCartney-penned songs (with McCartney himself here introducing the third one, "I Don't Want to See You Again") to more elaborate productions such as the one for "True Love Ways" on which Gordon Waller steps out as lead singer with Peter Asher playing a subsidiary role as harmony singer, and on to the novelty songs "Lady Godiva" (a rare Asher lead) and "Knight in Rusty Armour" that gave them their last big hits. The focus on the Billboard chart means ...
