Planet P Project CD (1983)

Tale Of The Tape album

$5.19

Planet P Project, known originally as simply Planet P, is the studio brainchild of producer Peter Hauke, and an American expatriate living in Germany, Tony Carey, who had played for a while with Deep Purple. Carey wrote all of the songs and played various instruments on the band's 1983 debut album Planet P Project. The music is layered in synthesizers and has a decidedly dated feel to ...

Blackfoot Strikes CD (1979)

Tale Of The Tape CD music

$5.99

With the tragic death of several Lynyrd Skynyrd members in 1977 and the band's prompt breakup, there was a huge hole left in the Southern rock genre. Though several bands were hailed as inheritors to the throne, Blackfoot was one of the first Southern rock bands to score a big hit after the tragedy, with 1979's STRIKES. Although Blackfoot's music is slightly harder than Skynyrd's, bordering on heavy metal at times, both groups were clearly unashamed of their Southern roots. After two releases, 1975's NO RESERVATIONS and 1976's FLYIN' HIGH, had come and gone with little success, ...

Molly Hatchet Flirtin' With Disaster CD (1979)

Tale Of The Tape music CDs

$6.75

Live tracks recorded in Jacksonville, Florida in 1980. Includes liner notes by Martin Popoff. Digitally remastered by Darcy Proper (Sony Music Studios, New York, New York). By the time Flirtin' with Disaster reached stores, the Hatchet were already bona fide forces to be reckoned with on the Southern rock circuit, with a fan base nearly on par with contemporaries like Skynyrd and the Allmans (who they covered on their eponymous debut LP). With a Frank Frazetta album cover that clearly sent a message that the band means business -- the business of hard partying and equally as hard rocking -- Flirtin' with Disaster is a 40-minute tour de force spearheaded by a triple guitar attack and the raspy thrillbilly growl of Danny Joe Brown. The album slowly builds from "Whiskey Man" into ...

Billy Squier Emotions In Motion CD (1982) Reissue

Tale Of The Tape album

$9.09

Emotions in Motion, the excellent follow-up to Billy Squier's sophomore outing Don't Say No, saw Squier rise from theater headliner to bona fide arena rock sensation by delivering his most consistent solo record to date. Or at least one just as good as its predecessor. On this slice of AOR heaven, Squier expands on the Led Zeppelin-influenced exploits of Don't Say No. Right off the bat, Squier delivers an immediate blow to the head on the album's opening triumvirate "Everybody Wants You," "Emotions in Motion" (a distant cousin of Queen's "Get Down Make Love" no doubt), and the moody "Learn How to Live." Backed by longtime cronies -- drummer Bobby Chouinard, guitarist Jeff Golub, and keyboard player Allan St. John -- Squier effortlessly leads his ace band through the boogie-woogie of future concert staple "Keep Me Satisfied." Squier also takes a few chances by veering into Rolling Stones territory on the horn-laced "Catch 22." Borrowing heavily from "Tumbling Dice," "Catch 22" foreshadows a style that would become more prevalent on future records like Enough Is Enough and Creatures of Habit. Emotions in Motion saw Squier establish himself as a major rock star, embarking on a tour as Queen's support act on their U.S. Hot Space tour. As Queen's popularity in America began to wane, Squier would steal their ...

Billy Squier Signs Of Life CD (1984) Reissue

Tale Of The Tape CD music

$9.89

Squier adds a little bit of keyboard color to his otherwise guitar-driven repertoire on 1984's Signs of Life, his fourth album that comes on the heels of his solid Emotions In Motion release two years prior. His highest charting single, "Rock Me Tonite," is a pulsating array of Squier's pent up energy amidst the cliched candor of bright synth and electric guitar. Although it's well worth its number 15 chart setting thanks to its explosive chorus, the remaining offerings from the artist quickly lose themselves in 1980's pomposity, which could be felt when the album was fresh, and is even more obvious ...

Jazz Orchestra Of The Delta Big Band Reflections Of Cole Porter CD (2003)

Tale Of The Tape songs

$13.45

Cole Porter's music has always had a special appeal to jazz musicians, as somehow his melodies seem to hit the mark as vehicles for creative improvisation. The Jazz Orchestra of the Delta, the brainchild of director Jack Cooper, was formed in 1998 and features some of the best local players from the mid-South region of the United States. For this recording, the 17-piece band performs compositions by Porter (with a couple by Cooper), and the results are swinging, exuberant big-band jazz of the highest quality. The two ubiquitously featured artists, trumpeter Marvin Stamm and vocalist Sandra Dudley, are superb additions, contributing considerably to the overall effects. Stamm has rarely sounded better, and his forceful, tuneful, and exciting solos (which appear to have been recorded separately from the band) are absolutely wondrous. Dudley is just as impressive, and although her voice may not be quite sultry enough for Porter's lyrics, she has an exquisite sound and rhythmic feel that are irresistible. As for the band, it is well-rehearsed and tight, with decent if not memorable solos all around. Cooper's arrangements are hard-hitting and intricate, even if they sometimes lack subtlety, and serve as near-perfect vehicles for Cole Porter's compositions. This album serves as a good introduction to a regional jazz orchestra that belongs in the big leagues. ~ Steven Loewy Jazz Orchestra Of The Delta includes: Jack Cooper (conductor); Mike Krepper ...
