Although the packaging and sound are a little below par, Golden Classics Edition contains 18 tracks from Mickey & Sylvia's prime period -- not just "Love Is Strange," but a wealth of strong, lesser-known singles -- making it a good overview of the underrated R&B duo. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
Mostly remembered for their prescient 1957 hit "Love Is Strange," there was far more to Mickey Baker and Sylvia Robinson than met the eye. For starters, Baker was a brilliant guitar player (Robinson was a fair guitarist, as well), and the duo's calypso-tinged R&B style left plenty of room for his startling lead lines. With a casually light, but still sassy and sexy vocal style, Mickey & Sylvia managed to sound both innocent and not so innocent, and somehow all at once, on songs like "Mommy out de Light" and the mock indictment "Love Will Make You Fail in School." All of these songs are included in this brief ten-track set, which will get you started, but once you see what Mickey & Sylvia bring to the table, you'll probably want more. ~ Steve Leggett
Mickey & Sylvia: Mickey Baker (vocals, guitar); Sylvia Robinson (vocals).

$18.79
This CD contains B.B. King's first ABC-Paramount studio efforts -- Mr. Blues (1962) and Confessin' the Blues (1965), respectively. While there are inevitable similarities between the projects, offering them back-to-back allows listeners an acute sense of King's rapid maturation and development during what was by all accounts the nexus of the guitarist/vocalist's career. The dozen-song Mr. Blues was a haphazard start ...

Throughout the '90s, Phish built up its reputation as the ultimate jam band, an outfit fit to take up the Grateful Dead's you-have-to-be-there ethos of exploration via live performance. Accordingly, even after Phish was put on hold and guitarist Trey Anastasio went off to ...

Love Is Strange: A Golden Classics Edition
$20.49
Contains three untitled hidden tracks on track #'s 16, 17, and 18.
With countless Damned compilations issued over the years, what exactly differentiates 2004's Neat Neat Neat: The Alternative Anthology from the rest of the pack, you wonder? This three-disc set spotlights the Damned's earlier "punk" years on the first disc and their more melodic '80s era on the second, wrapping things up with a third disc of live material. Although it may never be actually proven that "New Rose" was the first-ever punk single (an honor it often gets tagged with), it still remains one hell of a punk classic, and kicks things off splendidly. And it's followed up in quick succession with two other Damned gems, the title track and "Stab Your Back," ...

In the Swing of ThingsBy James ReelClassical violinists don’t play Western swing. Dang! Someone must have forgotten to tell Damian Green. Want to find out Damian Green’s musical hero? The 16-year-old fiddler likes to tell a joke about Jascha Heifetz, the most famous classical violinist of the 20th century. “There’s this story that Heifetz was trying to get his dog into his hotel room,” he says. “The manager stopped him, and the violinist puffed up and said, ‘But I’m Jascha Heifetz.’ The manager said, ‘I don’t care if you’re Bob Wills, you’re not bringing that dog in here.’” Sure, Green knows his way around the classical violin; he has a lot of concertos in his fingers, and he plays in an orchestra in his native Texas. But at heart, he’s less of a Jascha Heifetz fan than a keeper of the flame of the great Texas swing fiddler Bob Wills. Wills and his Texas Playboys played country dance tunes as if they were jazz numbers. Wills didn’t invent Texas swing in the 1930s, but he pretty much perfected it, and he’s Damian Green’s hero. In fact, Green keeps getting compared to Wills, both in his playing and his stage presence. That’s how Green wants it. “Yes sir,” he says with his polite ...
