| | Introducing Joss Stone CD Joss Stone Discography of CDs
This is an Deluxe edition Of "INTRODUCING JOSS STONE". Includes Bonus DVD.
British soul-pop singer Joss Stone was originally marketed as the teenage second coming of 1970s soul stars like Betty Everett and Ann Peebles. After two albums in that style (one consisting entirely of obscure soul covers) and a U.S. marketing push including several commercials for the Gap, Stone withdrew for a couple of years. INTRODUCING JOSS STONE, from the title onward, is an attempt to completely reinvent Stone's public persona, from a retro-soul blonde to a hip, happening redhead with her finger directly on the pulse of 2007 chart pop.
INTRODUCING JOSS STONE is produced by a bevy of contemporary hitmakers, though primarily Raphael Saadiq, and features cameo appearances by everyone from Lauryn Hill to ex-soccer star Vinnie Jones. But in the center of the drum loops, string sections, and slick electronics stands Stone's commanding voice. Opening track "Girl They Won't Believe It" sets the scene for the album as a whole, with Stone delivering a defiant vocal pitched midway between the appealing brattiness of Lily Allen and Amy Winehouse's full-throated R&B roar. No longer a retro favorite for the old-school R&B crowd, Joss Stone presents herself as a neo-soul diva for her times.
This deluxe edition includes the 14 track CD by the British soul singer/songwriter with featured artists including Common and Lauryn Hill, plus a DVD featuring recording footage, making of the video, music video, and interview with Joss discussing the making of the album.

| | David Gilmour CD (1978) Remastered
Introducing Joss Stone CD music
$6.79 Before David Gilmour virtually "became" Pink Floyd he was always the most likely member of the band (with the possible exception of de-facto leader Roger Waters) to release a solo album. 1978's welcome eponymous debut showcased his multi-faceted performing talents.
The album opener "Mihalis" is an ANIMALS period instrumental, which, along with "Raise My Rent," sounds like an outtake from that album. The beautiful "There's No Way Out of Here" begins with a lonely harmonica and, with "No Way" and "I Can't Breathe Anymore," expounds the album's main theme of being trapped in an untenable situation. "Cry From the Streets" is a nod to the blues, while the lovely "So Far Away" harks back to the ballads of OBSCURED BY CLOUDS. Almost a missing mid-period Floyd album, this solo effort is a must-have ...
| | Al Stewart 24 Carrots CD (1980) Bonus Tracks
Introducing Joss Stone music CDs
$10.45 "Here In Angola," "Pandora," and "Indian Summer" were originally released on the LP INDIAN SUMMER.
24 CARROTS is folk-rocker Al Stewart's 1980 album, recorded with Shot in the Dark. This reissue features five bonus tracks, "Here in Angola", "Indian Summer", "Pandora", "Delia's Gone", and "Princess Olivia".
The pun of the title of 24 Carrots -- the first overt signal of humor Al Stewart has displayed in years, possibly ever -- illustrates that a lot has changed since 1978's Time Passages. The loosening of his wit is perhaps the most evident, but the most significant is the departure ...

| | Doors Soft Parade CD (1969) Gold; Remastered
Introducing Joss Stone CD music
$14.42 Dismissed by the benighted as the Doors' "pop album," SOFT PARADE is one of the band's most adventurous recordings, utilizing strings and horns without resorting to schlocky over-production and moving far beyond their blues roots. Morrison was fully into his shaman phase by 1969, and his obsession with that image is reflected in the proselytizing air of "Tell All the People," and of course "Shaman's Blues." The album's biggest hit "Touch Me," while easily the group's most radio-friendly offering, is a pop classic that ranks among the great '60s AM radio tunes. "Wild Child" is a brief return to the blues-rock of yore, but the title track is a sophisticated, extended piece that moves through several different moods and textures, ...

| | Les Sans Culottes Faux Realism CD (2002)
Introducing Joss Stone album
$11.09 These kids living in Brooklyn share an insanely devoted love for '60s French pop relics like Serge Gainsbourg and Jacques Brel, resulting in music that is accurately derivative albeit a bit too kitschy from time to time. If there's one thing going for them, however, it's a total mastery of the pop form. With male and female vocals and sweet harmonies, the confounding French lyrics don't seem to need a translator, just a groove. The septet is decidedly funky, and fuzzy keyboard lines mix with clean bouncy guitars for a product that's always spunky if a bit repetitive. In Les Sans Culottes' favor, it's arguable that most discerning listeners would have no trouble believing that this was created in another country almost 40 years ago. Other than a few edgier yelps and some high-tempo hipster punk changes, this group is true to its roots. All that remains to be asked is whether the bandmembers have any links to these roots or their faux French approach is just plain pretentious. ~ Peter J. D'Angelo
Les Sans Culottes are an international mélange of musicians now based in Brooklyn, New York. Influenced by 1960's French ye-ye pop, Les Sans Culottes filter those sounds through their own garage-hewn pop sensibility. Known for their furious, attitude drenched Grand Guignol live shows, the New York Daily News recently noted, "Over the last six years, the Brooklyn-based septet has earned a reputation for excessively fabulous performances and intoxicatingly catchy pop in the mold of Serge Gainsbourg and Jacques Dutronc." (NY Daily News, 2/22/02)Les Sans Culottes (which translates to "those without undergarments") borrowed their name from the "ill-clad and ill-equipped volunteers of the French Revolutionary army."Having wowed numerous left-leaning French intellectual cultural critics in the boites of St. Germain-des-Pres, Les Sans Culottes brought their unfiltered swagger to New York City in 1996. Leader Clermont Ferrand hand-selected friends and other musicians from home and abroad to play the music he had grown up with: the music of Serge Gainsbourg, France Gall, Jacques Dutronc, and Jacques Brel. After several incarnations, the band finally locked down its lineup with sexy chanteuses Kit Kat le Noir and Celine Dijon singing backup and taking the microphone for their own songs. Propelled by the rhythm section of Jean Luc Retard on bass (Les Nonchalants) and Harry Covert on drums (ex Les Refusals), Morris "Mars" Chevrolet on keyboards and Cal D'Hommage on ...
