(2 Customer Reviews)
With its slightly dated and stiff sound, All of the Good Ones Are Taken is a step down from the vibrant Short Back and Sides, yet a handful of songs manage to break free of the restrictions placed on them by the production. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine All Of The Good Ones Are Taken Music Ian Hunter All Of The Good Ones Are Taken Songs All Of The Good Ones Are Taken Music Review Purchase All Of The Good Ones Are Taken CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Ian Hunter You're Never Alone With A Schizophrenic CD (1979)
All Of The Good Ones Are Taken album
$10.39 While former Mott the Hoople singer/songwriter Ian Hunter's solo career started out strong, he stumbled on his third album, OVERNIGHT ANGELS. One of the reasons might have been the absence of longtime guitar foil/fellow Mott man Mick Ronson, who happily reappeared on the follow-up, YOU'RE NEVER ALONE WITH A SCHIZOPHRENIC. Perhaps not coincidentally, Hunter's fourth solo effort features some of the strongest (and most beloved) songs in his catalog. "Cleveland Rocks" is a hard-charging, Mott-like tune (many years later it would have a second life as the theme of TV's Drew Carey show), while "Ships" is a sweeping, romantic ballad, one of Hunter's loveliest (it would eventually be covered ...
| | Ike & Tina Turner Nutbush City Limits/Feel Good CD (2006) Bonus Tracks
All Of The Good Ones Are Taken CD music
$18.09 Raven's 2006 two-fer Nutbush City Limits/Feel Good combines two of Ike & Tina Turner's last albums together and adds five bonus tracks, three of which were taken from other Ike & Tina albums from the early '70s, one taken from a Tina solo record, and one disco mix of "Nutbush City Limits." The album that arrives first on this two-fer was actually the last of these two to be released: Nutbush City Limits appeared in 1973, a year after Feel Good, but its title track is one of Ike & Tina's best-known songs so it's an appropriate choice to kick off this disc. Besides, the two records are so similar in tone and approach, it'd be easy to assume that Feel Good arrived before Nutbush, but that isn't to say they're interchangeable. Both records are hard day-glo funk, overloaded with fuzz guitars, wah wahs, clavinets and horn sections, but of the two, Nutbush City Limits is a bit closer to gritty deep soul thanks to a slow-burning cover of Dobie Gray's country-soul classic "Drift Away," the gospel-fied "That's My Purpose," a churning, funky reworking of "You Are My Sunshine," and, of course, the hard-driving title track, which mythologizes Tina's country upbringing. Of course, "rootsy" in this context is a relative term, since Nutbush City Limits still ...
| | Solomon Burke Nashville CD (2006) Digipak
All Of The Good Ones Are Taken music CDs
$11.39 Soul legend Solomon Burke harbored a desire to sing country tunes ever since his early days at Atlantic, but the powers-that-be wouldn't let their golden goose take the gamble. Four decades down the line, he finally got the opportunity, and he embraced it with open arms. Produced by twang titan Buddy Miller, NASHVILLE is the third album of Burke's "comeback" period that began with 2002's DON'T GIVE UP ON ME. NASHVILLE's two predecessors found Burke tackling often ill-fitting tunes by a bevy of rockers, but taking a country turn sounds completely natural for the 66-year-old soul man.
Crucial to this aesthetic success is the fact that Burke and Miller avoided the obvious dusty honky-tonk warhorses. Instead, Burke invests Tom T. Hall's "That's How I Got to Memphis" with stirring pathos, plays the scorned lover on Miller's "Does My Ring Burn Your Finger," and fills Kevin Welch's ...
| | Raga For Peter Walker CD (2006) Digipak
All Of The Good Ones Are Taken songs
$10.09 Many of the legends of acoustic guitar in the 20th century have already passed on -- John Fahey, Robbie Basho, Ali Farka Toure. Due partially to his spare recording career, Peter Walker's own reputation has not always been as well known as those of said giants, but his own influence has been considerable. A Raga for Peter Walker -- a tribute album that, in a nice touch, not only consists of work composed by its contributors rather than simply offering up covers but also features some original work by its subject in question -- helps to demonstrate this while he is still here to receive acknowledgement of it. Walker's four originals, all new tracks, bookend the collection, each brief but demonstrating that Walker's vigor and skill remain undimmed, from the opening "Day at the Fair," which lives up to its title with sprightly, cascading brightness, to "Jaleo Para Angela," reflecting his newer interest in flamenco. The remaining six songs ...
