| | Xclusive R&B CD
This triple-disc set from the Union Square label sifts through roughly 15 years of popular R&B and pop-rap singles, at least as the English saw them. Beyond that somewhat loose theme, there's little apparent rhyme or reason behind the selection process, but with 45 inclusions, the average fan of modern R&B is bound to obtain a few songs he or she has been wanting, in addition to being introduced to a similar number of likeable inclusions. Highlights include SWV's "So into You," Monica's "Don't Take It Personal (Just One of Dem Days)," Aaliyah's "Back and Forth," V's "Anotha Phase," Dominic "Ski" Oakenfull's "Hang On," and Foreign Exchange's "Come Around." One negative aspect is that quite a few tracks are so laid-back and light on features that they fade into the background after a few seconds. ~ Andy Kellman Xclusive R&B Songs | 1. | Shackles - Mary Mary |

Hound Dog Taylor & The Houserockers: Hound Dog Taylor, Brewer Phillips (guitar); Ted Harvey (drums).
A talent so mighty and so criminally overlooked that Bruce Iglauer started Chicago's Alligator Records just to put out his debut full-length, Theodore Roosevelt "Hound Dog" Taylor may be as important to blues and roots postmodernists as Robert Johnson and Muddy Waters were to the classic blues rockers. With a heavily distorted, highly amplified electric sound that eschewed the standard time-keeping ...

| | Greg Rapaport Wyrd CD (2001)
Xclusive R&B music CDs
$12.55
Review:Wyrd (2001), the fourth release from New York guitarist Greg Rapaport, provides an exciting glimpse at a world where metal, funk and some other as-yet-unnamed musical mutation live in a kind of bizarre and wholesomely unsettling harmony. Whether the clear Sunday morning funk/jazz runs of “Mahdah,” the airy, imaginative “Bugjuice,” or the plain crazy “Diminished Returns,” Wyrd becomes a kind of feast for those wishing to dine on exciting and dense (yet still accessible) harmonic matter. Of course that's not to say that the music here is without heart, for heart is a common denominator to all the tracks, though “Silk,” the penultimate piece seems to speak the word most loudly and serves to solidify Wyrd's status as a winning recording, one of the most intriguing and refreshing instrumental releases in recent memory, one that could finally launch ...
| | Elaine O'Rourke No Beginning No End CD (2007)
Xclusive R&B songs
$13.15
Compelling and hypnotic, dark and haunting -- these are words repeatedly used to describe Elaine O'Rourke's debut CD, "No Beginning, No End." Resonating with the spirit of her native Ireland, O’Rourke’s deceptively sweet and seductive voice and entrancing acoustic guitar style lure the listener to a mystical, ancient place. A tempting risk-taker, O’Rourke is an explorer who beckons you to wander, curious, beyond the expected, beyond the comfortable conventions of modern folk music.No Beginning, No End marks O’Rourke’s recording debut, and it’s a strong one. Known to audiences in her adopted hometown of Gloucester, MA for her expressive live performances, O’Rourke assembled an impressive list of talent to get her unique musical vision down on tape. Co-produced by “Super Genius” singer/songwriter Michael Barry, No Beginning, No End features legendary English drummer (and Marblehead resident) David Mattacks on drums and keyboards. Mattacks, who has played with Richard Thompson, Rosanne Cash, and Mary Chapin Carpenter, says, “Mike, with whom I play in “Super Genius”, played some tracks for me, and I thought ...
