| | Instant Karma: Campaign to Save Darfur CD (1 Customer Review)
Organized by Amnesty International after receiving the rights to John Lennon's songs from Yoko Ono, 2007's INSTANT KARMA collection benefits the organization's campaign to end the genocide in Darfur, Sudan, while also serving as a tribute to the late Beatle. Presenting an impressively eclectic array of artists that ranges from Christina Aguilera to Big & Rich to the Postal Service, the compilation is a truly varied affair. Not surprisingly, however, many of the finest tracks come from pop/rock acts directly inspired by Lennon, including R.E.M., reuniting with original drummer Bill Berry for a beautifully drowsy version of "#9 Dream," and Ben Harper, who contributes a delicate take on "Beautiful Boy." Providing the most direct link to Lennon's legacy, though, are Jakob Dylan (son of Bob) and Dhani Harrison (son of George), who offer up a lively rendition of "Gimme Some Truth" that reminds listeners of the legendary performer's socially conscious spirit.Rolling Stone (p.71) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "Jackson Browne's tender want in 'Oh My Love' is the high point: one great songwriter deep inside the power and yearning of another."
Entertainment Weekly (p.76) - "[Lavigne] brings surprising tenderness to 'Imagine'....Green Day also get the churlish spirit of 'Working Class Hero' right..." -- Grade: B Instant Karma: Campaign to Save Darfur Music | List Price | $21.98 (You save $5.09) | | Category | Rock/Pop Albums, Rock CDs, Pop, Oldies Collections | | Label | Warner Bros.

Instant Karma: Campaign to Save Darfur album
 $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 ...
| | Electric Light Orchestra A New World Record - Expanded Edition CD (1976) Bonus Tracks; Remastered
Instant Karma: Campaign to Save Darfur CD music
$7.59
Also available in a 3-pack with FACE THE MUSIC and DISCOVERY.
1976's A NEW WORLD RECORD is both a classic of commercial '70s pop and an archetypal ELO album. From the outer-space synths and rich orchestrations that open the album to Jeff Lynne's meticulous production and Beatlesque melodies, A NEW WORLD RECORD is magnificent ear candy. Both ambitious enough to appeal to "serious" rock fans and ultra-catchy enough to sound terrific on Top 40 radio (the plaintively gorgeous, McCartney-like "Telephone Line" and the anthemic "Livin' ...

| | Al Stewart 24 Carrots CD (1980) Bonus Tracks
Instant Karma: Campaign to Save Darfur songs
$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 ...
| | Traveling Wilburys, Vol. 1 CDs (1988) With DVD & 40-page collectible book
Instant Karma: Campaign to Save Darfur album
$38.19
The meat of the order here is definitely the first disc, TRAVELING WILBURYS, VOL. 1, a certified masterpiece with five legends at the top of their game. Roy Orbison's "You're Not Alone Anymore" may be his finest performance since the '60s; George Harrison's "Handle With Care" is as good as any solo Beatle hit; and Tom Petty's "Last Night" shows why he belongs rubbing shoulders with Orbison, a Beatle, and Dylan. Disc 2 features their follow-up record, TRAVELING WILBURYS, VOL. 3, and while it still holds up, the material is not quite as strong as on VOL. 1 (sadly, Roy Orbison, for one thing, had passed away by this point). There are still some gems, though, ...

$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 ...
