This is a hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD players.
The definitive rock opera, TOMMY liberated the Who from a "singles band" stigma, marking them as a substantial artistic force. Composer Pete Townshend had flirted with the conceptual format on two previous releases, but here his vision is spread over two ambitious records that play to the Who's main strengths. Anthems such ...

| | Dan Penn Do Right Man CD (1994)
Special Occasion songs
$6.09 
In an age of wretched excess, listening to DO RIGHT MAN is like receiving a postcard from a long lost friend. A legendary figure from the golden age of soul who first emerged in the late '50s, Dan Penn is best known as a songwriter, having penned such classics as "Cry Like A Baby," "I'm Your Puppet" and "Do Right Woman, Do Right Man." Here, on ten superb arrangements, Dan Penn demonstrates that there's a world of difference between celebrating sensuality and writing something truly sexy, between dropping beats and laying down a collective groove, between screaming histrionics and subtle, soulful expression.
Penn's voice is a gruff malleable instrument, capable of tremendous emotional twists and turns, but it's the depth of his sincerity that stands out on confessional tunes such as "Cry Like A Man," "It Tears Me Up" and "You Left The Water Running." And on his touching rendition of "Do Right Woman, Do Right Man," Penn achieves a dark, poignant intensity of expression that can even hold its own--thank you very much--with the classic Aretha Franklin rendition we all know and love. But then, there isn't a single tune on DO RIGHT ...
| | Lou Ann Barton Read My Lips CD (1989)
Special Occasion album
$10.79 
Lou Ann Barton didn't have the best of luck in her early career. Incongruously signed to a major label for 1982's Old Enough, she delivered a fine debut that was utterly out of step with the times. Shunted to a tiny indie in her adopted hometown of Austin, she recorded 1986's oddly poppy Forbidden Tones, an album of John Hiatt and Beatles covers that recalled Marti Jones' albums from the same period; it was a fine record, but it was a complete stylistic aberration. Barton returned to her blues-rock roots for 1989's Read My Lips. Cutting out the synthesizers and pop gloss of Forbidden Tones for a more traditional sound and recording with longtime friends like the Fabulous Thunderbirds' Kim Wilson and Jimmie Vaughan, Barton delivers her strongest set of tunes. As always, the song selection is heavy on the covers, including a new, heart-wrenching version of Irma Thomas' "It's Raining" that beats the pants off the too-slick version she recorded on Old Enough. Barton also salutes her influences on solid covers of Barbara ...

In 1991, if any musical artist seemed a candidate for one-hit wonder status, it was Enigma. Not that "Sadeness Part 1" displayed any lack for talent, but the hit was certainly unusual. Worthy of his nom du disc, Michael Cretu released the bizarre, sexually charged Gregorian chant-driven New Age dance song under veils of mystery. Journalists speculated about his identity, as the song ignited controversy in country after country, topping the charts in most of them and going into top 5 in the United States.

| | Ying Yang Twins My Brother & Me CD (2004) Bonus DVD
Special Occasion CD music
$9.35 
ME & MY BROTHER, the third album by Atlanta's Ying Yang Twins, follows the duo's prominently featured role on the Lil Jon & the Eastside Boys top 5 crossover hit "Get Low." In fact, the album capitalizes on that success immediately with "Georgia Dome," a sound-a-like sequel to that inescapable, infectious single. Crown Princes of Crunk, the Ying Yang Twins, Kaine and D-Roc, are all about following their ids, creating pared-down songs about sex, alcohol, blunts, and more sex--a formula the Twins use well. Kaine and D-Roc understand that there are values in simplicity and, indeed, the most memorable song is the catchphrase-worthy anthem "Hanh!"
Making the most of their guest appearance on ME & MY BROTHER, Lil Jon & the Eastside Boyz return a favor to the Twins, while adding one more song to the booty canon as they implore the ladies to shake it like a "Salt Shaker." And, in an inspired collaboration, two of the strongest, brashest voices to break out of the South--Killer Mike & Bone Crusher--trade rhymes on the predictably unchallengable "What The F***!" ME & MY BROTHER rolls on like that--a straightforward, raw, danceable record.
With their unabashedly hedonistic raps and signature chanting style, the Ying Yang Twins rose to the upper levels of the crunk world and became one of the most sought after guests on other hip-hop albums. The brothers from Atlanta were rather ubiquitous by 2004, following up their notable appearance on the Lil Jon smash "Get Low" with their own hit "Salt Shaker" off of the platinum ME & MY BROTHER, in addition to guesting on about as many records as there are weeks in the year. At the end of 2004, they came out with the mixtape-style MY BROTHER & ME, featuring remixes and one new song.
The unpredictable carnival atmosphere suits the Ying Yang Twins perfectly, as MY BROTHER & ME may be their strongest album yet. They open with previously unreleased single "Halftime (Stand Up & Get Crunk!)," featuring a marching band, dizzying bass lines, and the usual fun-seeking lyrics, before easing the beat back with a hypnotizing remix of Juvenile's crossover hit "Slow Motion." The duo's perfect female foil, Jacki-O, lays down a hyper-sensual flow on a remix of "Georgia Dome," while numerous superstars drop by on a rousing extended remix of "Salt Shaker" to close the record.
