| | Crooked Still Hop High CD Crooked Still Discography of CDs
The Boston bluegrass quartet Crooked Still's debut album is a collection of traditional covers given an updated treatment by a lineup that includes cello and Aoife O'Donovan's smoothly seductive vocals. They give the classic "Lonesome Road" a brand new melody, working similar ethereal magic on the beautiful country song "Rank Strangers," though their versions of "Shady Grove" and "Darling Corey" show they're more than capable of fresh interpretations that stick close to the originals.

| | Black Sabbath Mob Rules CD (1981) Import; Remastered
Hop High CD music
$14.79 Black Sabbath had put itself back on track both musically and commercially with the 1980 album HEAVEN AND HELL, as the addition of new vocalist Ronnie James Dio was the shot in the arm Sabbath needed. A follow-up was released one year later, MOB RULES, which follows in the same mega-decibel approach as its predecessor. While it is still a vast improvement over Sabbath's final two albums with Ozzy Osbourne (1976's TECHNICAL ECSTASY and 1978's NEVER SAY DIE), it doesn't exactly match the inspired performances and top compositions featured on HEAVEN AND HELL.
The opening track, "Turn Up the Night," kicks off the album with a jolt of electricity, while other hard rocking highlights include the mid-paced "Voodoo" and the raging title track--the latter would be featured on the soundtrack to the cult animated movie, ...

| | Crooked Still Shaken By A Low Sound CD (2006)
Hop High songs
$17.69 There's certainly nothing new about a band using bluegrass as a base for exploring musical territory outside of that genre's rigid boundaries: from New Grass Revival in the '70s to more recent experiments by Sam Bush and String Cheese Incident, the steady rise of Americana has owed much to these acoustic renegades. But the Massachusetts-based quartet Crooked Still, on their sophomore release, establishes themselves as one of the more notable outfits to take the post-bluegrass formula and run with it. For starters, the conventional bluegrass instrumentation is largely dispensed with: guitar and fiddle turn up only sporadically, and mandolin is nowhere to be found. Instead, the root of Crooked Still's melodicism owes to Greg Liszt's virtuosic ...

| | Michael Allen Harrison Emotional Connection CD (1992)
Hop High music CDs
$18.99 The lush sounds of Harrison's Mason and Hamlin solo piano ring in our ears as he shares with us these heartfelt melodies ranging in style from the very lay-back bluesy harmonies of "Be With Me" and "Blue Rose" to the grandiose, synth-enhanced tones of "Transitions." His strong melodies appeal like Gershwin's with their romance and dramatic structure. Harrison wends his way into those very private places we all have and makes a place there for his music. ~ MusD
At once intensely personal and universal, the music of Michael Allen Harrison finds a place in our deepest emotions.He reflects somber moments with the gentle touch in his heartfelt piano melodies. His fiery concerto movements match charged moments with magnificent bravado. His strikingly diverse musical styles meet us at high and low touch points that extend far beyond the seven octaves on his grand piano. Recognized as Steinway Signature Artist, Michael has built a reputation as a prolific and ...
