The first great blues album to come out of England. Donegan's debut album is absolutely first-rate acoustic folk-blues, featuring some of the songs he'd been playing for close to 10 years, including "Frankie And Johnny," and stuff he learned off of Leadbelly records like "I'm Alabammy Bound," among other folk and blues standards. The sound is raw and crisp, featuring Denny Wright's crisp lead guitar licks behind Donegan's emphatic strumming and superb vocals. He didn't have Elvis' rich baritone, but he could wail the blues better than anyone in England at the time (including Alexis Korner and Cyril Davies), and he knew how to make the tension in a song rise across five minutes like no one else around. Leroy Carr's "How Long How Long Blues" gets a good workout, but the highlight of this forgotten jewel of an album is Donegan's moody rendition of "I'm A Ramblin' Man," a dark blues standard that shows off the guitar interplay between Donegan and Wright to great effect and features what may be Donegan's best blues vocal ever. Leadbelly's "I'm Alabammy Bound" gives Donegan and Wright a chance to share vocals, to great effect (Wright had this coarse bass/baritone that went well with Donegan's blues tenor). Note: The contents of Showcase are available on Bear Family's 8-CD set More Than "Pye In The Sky." ~ Bruce Eder

2006 mini-LP sleeve reissue of this exciting 1956 debut album from the man who would later usher in the Skiffle sound (and become that genre's biggest star). This album was the first great Blues album to come out of the UK, with Donegan's unique Folk/Blues sound that was already drenched in the Skiffle beat. Features bonus tracks, including previously unreleased cuts. 26 tracks total including 'Rock Island Line', 'Cumberland Gap' and more. Castle.

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 ...

Certain concerts create a legend as soon as the final note ceases to ring. Nirvana's headlining appearance at the 1992 Reading Festival is one of these shows, a concert that arrived at precisely the right moment and stands as testament to a band at the peak of its powers...and right before things started to turn sour within the Nirvana camp. Despite the happy news of the birth of Frances Bean Cobain a mere 12 days before this August 30 festival, rumors swirled around Nirvana right up until the band hit the stage. Kurt Cobain took full advantage of these scurrilous stories, making his entrance in a hospital gown and wheelchair pushed by journalist Everett True. Cobain feebly reached for the microphone to croak out the opening lines of "The Rose," only to collapse onto the stage, milking the drama for a moment before leading Krist Novoselic and Dave Grohl through a ferocious "Breed." This impish ...

Recorded live at Madison Square Garden, New York, New York and The MGM Grand Hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada in January and June 1994. Includes liner notes by Jay Landers and Dan Pine. Recorded live at the MGM Grand Garden, Las Vegas, Nevada and in Anaheim, California. Recorded live at Madison Square Garden, New York, New York in June 1994. Includes liner notes by Jay Landers and Dan Pine. On the evidence of this highlights disc alone, no expense was spared during Barbra Streisand's 1994 nation-wide tour: full-dress Broadway set, large-scale orchestra lushly arranged and conducted by Marvin Hamlisch, a giant screen projection of Marlon Brando singing(!) a duet with Barbra from GUYS AND DOLLS. Which makes it all the more remarkable that Streisand is able to establish such a comfortable, intimate rapport with this adoring hometown (N.Y.C.) crowd the moment she swoops in singing "As If We Never Said Goodbye" from SUNSET BOULEVARD. After nearly 35 years in show business, Streisand's voice remains a lovely instrument. So along with the autobiographical song-intros and liberal politics, we are also treated to superbly sung renditions of "People," "Evergreen" and "The Way We Were" as well as "Can't Help Lovin That Man" and a stirring "The Man That Got Away" dedicated to Judy Garland. Credit also arranger Hamlisch for his superior scoring--check out the dark, rich chords opening "Will He Like Me?"--as well as his full-blooded, always sympathetic piano accompaniment. Barbra Streisand's triumphant 1994 American tour marked the diva's return to her roots in Tin Pan Alley. Having abandoned the concert stage some 27 years before, Streisand spoke to her musical fans exclusively t "Ordinary Miracles" was nominated for Best Pop Vocal Performance, Female; and BARBARA - THE CONCERT was nominated for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Performance in the 37th Annual Grammy Awards. Personnel includes: Barbra Streisand (vocals); Brian Koonin (guitar); Ralph Morrison (concertmaster); Sanford Allen, Barry Finclair (violin); Julien Barber, Linda Moss, Alfred Brown (viola); Jeane LeBlanc, Mark Shuman (cello); Emily Mitchell (harp); Lawrence Feldman, Dave Tofani (reeds); Lew Soloff (trumpet); Peter Gordon (French horn); Jim Pugh, Robin ...

The two producers who are Deep Forest are folklorists with keyboards and samplers and visions of one world. Instead of traveling back-country roads and recording native singers on their home turf, they comb the world of recorded music and sample the natives; and instead of presenting them as they are, they mix and match them and supply the beats themselves. Following a debut that was based on Pygmy music from Central Africa, ...
