| | This Is Desmond Dekker CD Desmond Dekker Discography of CDs
Desmond Dekker and the Aces had already built up a considerable head of steam prior to 1969, the year of their international full-length debut. Already superstars in their native Jamaica, Dekker and crew had compiled their hit singles on three separate sets (which were released in '67, '68, and '69 respectively), and these were in turn brought together on one long-player for international release entitled THIS IS DESMOND DEKKER. In addition to the seminal rocksteady masterpiece "007 (Shanty Town)," the album contains the hits "Sabatoge," "Beautiful and Dangerous," and "Unity," among others. A classic back to front, and a cornerstone of any reggae library, the album rivals any of the numerous Dekker hits compilations on the market.

$8.19  
The Spinners were rivaled only by the O'Jays as the greatest Philly soul group, and for that matter the greatest vocal group of the '70s. For listeners who don't want to dig as deeply as the excellent double-CD anthology One of a Kind Love Affair, Rhino's The Very Best of the Spinners is a stellar single-disc career summary that offers a concentrated dose of the group's sweet soul magic. It also serves as a primer on the best work of Thom Bell, Philly soul's "other" great producer besides the legendary Gamble & Huff team. Incredibly, every one of the 16 tracks here -- culled from 1970-1980 -- reached the R&B Top Ten, and half went all the way to number one on either the pop or R&B lists. As this collection demonstrates, the Spinners' massive popularity was well-deserved. Built around the magnetic leads of Philippe Wynne, ...

The follow-up to the successful Motown Chartbusters, Vol. 1, Volume 2 seems to be a cash-in on a winning formula. Very few tracks from this collection would make it onto a Motown greatest-hits collection. Still, there is great joy to find on this album. Of particular note are Smokey Robinson's "I Second That Emotion" (later a hit for Diana Ross & the Supremes with the Temptations) and Gladys Knight's blueprint of Norman Whitfield's classic "I ...
| | Lonesome, On'Ry And Mean: A Tribute To Waylon Jennings. CD (2003)
This Is Desmond Dekker
$11.59 
Tribute albums, sadly, are the way many listeners are introduced to veteran artists, but 2003's Lonesome, On'ry and Mean: A Tribute to Waylon Jennings -- released roughly a year after Jennings' death -- is botched as an introduction and as a tribute or even just as a good listen. Pretty much everything that could go wrong with a tribute does, with songs sinking even if they're performed by Waylon colleagues (Kris Kristofferson on "I Do Believe") or designed as replicas (Junior Brown's "Nashville Rebel") or even sung by their songwriters (Jack Clement's "Let's All Help the Cowboys [Sing the Blues]"). And those are the good moments. Sure, there's no shortage of love for Waylon here, but the interpretations are by and large leaden -- John Doe's "Only Daddy That'll Walk the Line" takes the swing out of the guitar riff; Robert Earl Keen's "Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way" is reinterpreted so there's no Hank there at all -- and, occasionally, flat-out embarrassing, ...
