| | Blue Voodoo Smile N' Nod CD - Import Blue Voodoo Discography of CDs
If the band name has you expecting swampy roots rock, think again. Voodoo Blue plays straight-up power pop with a slightly punky edge, but you wouldn't exactly call them pop-punk: their sound is more crispy than crunchy and they never succumb to speed for speed's sake. Imagine a less corporate-sounding and more personable Click Five and you'll have a good idea what to expect. They make a mighty big sound for a three-piece, in part because all three of them sing harmonies (and sing them very, very well). They also make an impressive variety of sounds within the general boundaries of their genre: there are, for example, the stomping 6/8 rhythm on "Great Escape," the sugar-sweet harmonizing on "Cherry Hill," the faint whiff of cowpunk and the weird drum-line coda on "31st Street (Drumline)," and the deceptively simple-sounding "Beach Blanket Boredom," with its strangely baroque bridge. The lyrics won't change your world view but they won't embarrass you either (though someone needs to tell these guys that "Where the hell is rock & roll?" is a dumb question). Overall, this is a very fine album from a band that bears watching. ~ Rick Anderson Smile N' Nod Music | List Price | $37.99 (You save $2.50) | | Category | Rock/Pop Albums, Rock CDs | | Label | Indie | | Orig Year | 2006 | | CD Universe Part number | 7297372 | | Catalog number | 57062 | | Discs | 1 | | Release Date | Nov 13, 2006 | | Studio/Live | Studio | | Mono/Stereo | Stereo | | Additional Info | Japan |

Smile N' Nod album
 $11.18   
It's no secret that John Mayer is a 21st Century Fox, wining and dining women all through tabloid headlines, so it's about time he delivered an album that traded upon his loverman persona -- and Battle Studies is that record in spades. Retaining more than a modicum of the slick, soul-blues undertones of Continuum, Mayer fashions a modern groove album, a record that maintains a smooth seductive vibe so thoroughly it spills into a one-man band cover of "Crossroads." Mayer remains somewhat of a disciple of Slowhand, but he shows an unusual interest in the big AOR stylings of Journeyman, along with Stevie Ray Vaughan's In Step, creating a coolly clean blend of synths and Strats, one that's as much about texture as it is about song.something perfectly appropriate for a make-out album like this. Sometimes, Mayer dips too heavily toward the texture, but he can't resist a good, tight melody and builds the bulk of Battle Studies upon them: the elegant "Half of My Heart," the softly soulful "Perfectly Lonely." Here, Mayer is effortlessly seductive and somewhat irresistible, and it's easy to see why the ladies love cool John.

| | Tom Petty Live Anthology CDs (2009)
Smile N' Nod CD music
$19.34 
It's a commonly held opinion among fans and band alike that Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers' lone live album, 1986's Pack Up the Plantation, didn't quite capture the group at its peak, so there has been a long-standing need for another live set, which 2009's Live Anthology finally provides. Like its closest cousin, Bruce Springsteen's Live 1975-1985, Live Anthology almost overcompensates for the long wait by offering almost too much music, cherrypicking highlights from 1978 to 2007. In its simplest incarnation, Live Anthology is a super-affordable, four-disc box set running 48 tracks, which is eight cuts longer than Springsteen's box, plenty long enough for most fans, but in its deluxe version, available only through Best Buy, there's an additional CD, plus two previously unreleased DVDs -- a 1978 New Years Eve concert from Santa Monica, a documentary called 400 Days shot during the Wildflowers tour -- a Blu-Ray edition of all 62 tracks on the five-CD version, a vinyl copy of the 1976 Official Live 'Leg LP, plus a book and lithograph, along with other assorted bonuses. Certainly, the deluxe ...

| | Lou Reed New Sensations CD (1984) Reissue; Remastered
Smile N' Nod songs
$11.18  
Lou Reed never struck anyone as one of the happiest guys in rock & roll, so some fans were taken aback when his 1984 album New Sensations kicked off with "I Love You, Suzanne," a catchy up-tempo rocker that sounded a lot like a pop tune. After reaffirming his status as one of rock's greatest poets with The Blue Mask and Legendary Hearts, what was Reed doing here? Lou was having a great time, and his pleasure was infectious -- New Sensations is a set of straight-ahead rock & roll that ranks with the most purely enjoyable albums of Lou's career. Reed opted not to work with guitarist Robert Quine this time out, instead overdubbing rhythm lines over his own leads, and if the guitars don't cut quite as deep, they're still wiry and in the pocket throughout, and the rhythm section of Fernando Saunders and Fred Maher rocks hard with a tough, sinewy groove. And while much of New Sensations finds Reed in a surprisingly optimistic mood, this isn't "Don't Worry, Be Happy" by any stretch ...
