 (1 Customer Review)
Ben Harper & the Innocent Criminals: Ben Harper; Michael Ward (guitar); Jason Yates (keyboards); Juan Nelson (bass guitar); Oliver Charles (drums); Leon Mobley (percussion).
After touring the European continent for nine months, Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals booked a week in a studio in Paris and recorded the entirety of Harper's eighth album, LIFELINE. By the end of a lengthy tour, a good band is simultaneously tight and loose, able to easily navigate any twists their leader throws at them, and that quality is all over LIFELINE. Largely recorded live to tape with minimal overdubs, LIFELINE has the live, fresh sound of 1970s album rock classics like Jackson Browne's RUNNING ON EMPTY, as well as a pronounced R&B influence that has never been so prominent on Harper's previous albums. Highlights include the bluesy shuffle "Fight Outta You," the Rolling Stones-like rocker "Put It On Me," and the title track, a solo acoustic performance by Harper that's one of his most personal and affecting songs. The album is also available in a special deluxe edition that includes a bonus DVD.
Additional personnel: Michelle Haynes, Rovleta Fraser (background vocals).Rolling Stone (p.87) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "The performances sound confident and natural....Harper was born to make records like LIFELINE. He sings in a grainy tenor of surprising range."
Spin (p.129) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "Ben Harper eases into a more fluid, evenly paced groove on his eighth LP....Commanding..."
Entertainment Weekly (p.79) - "LIFELINE thankfully favors songs over jamming....Just add applause." -- Grade: B+
Q (Magazine) (p.116) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "LIFELINE has a warm, languid intimacy that taps into the Otis Redding and Stevie Wonder records he grew up on." Ben Harper Lifeline Songs Purchase Lifeline CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | VH1 Presents The Corrs Live In Dublin CD (2002)
Lifeline album
 $6.39  
This audio document of The Corrs' Dublin homecoming concert has pretty much everything fans of Irish pop could wish for, including an appearance from Bono in his earthly incarnation, fresh from an audience with President George W. Bush. It's to the band's credit that the charismatic singer fails to steal the show, despite creditable efforts via an anthemized version of Ryan Adams' beautifully downtempo "When the Stars Go Blue," and a great, leering rendition of Lee Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra's "Summer Wine."
Somewhat more mysteriously, Rolling Stone Ron Wood also turns up on what sounds dangerously close to a lounge version of Jimi Hendrix's "Little Wing," but this minor faux pas is redeemed by the Irish folk medley "Joy of Life/Trout in the Bath" which arguably features more full-on ...
| | Drive-By Truckers Southern Rock Opera CDs (2001) Digipak
Lifeline CD music
$11.99   
A sprawling two-disc set, the Drive-By Truckers' SOUTHERN ROCK OPERA is a cracked masterpiece that's enjoyable on several different levels. Hipsters might enjoy the giggly premise of a two-disc set devoted to a slightly altered retelling of the rise and fall of 1970s Southern rock icons Lynyrd Skynyrd. Progressive rock fans lamenting the modern era's relative lack of story-driven albums divided into "Act I" and "Act II" will latch onto SOUTHERN ROCK OPERA with the same passion with which they embraced THE LAMB LIES DOWN ON BROADWAY. And most importantly, unreconstructed Southern rockers of the boogie-and-beer variety will appreciate the fact that this is an unapologetic, non-ironic ...

As the electric guitar ace Joe Bonamassa was so strongly inspired by blues and blues-oriented six-stringers (i.e., Clapton, Johnny Winter), many of his fans would politely pester him about doing a disc of blues standards. ...
| | Gov't Mule Deja Voodoo CD (2004)
Lifeline songs
$7.99
DEJA VOODOO serves as a comeback for Gov't Mule, who lost founding member Allen Woody in August 2000. Bandmates Warren Haynes and Matt Abts carried on with a search to fill Woody's shoes, and this led to live recordings featuring guest bassists on each cut. This studio outing welcomes the arrival of former Black Crowes bass player Andy Hess and keyboardist Danny Louis, whose entry transforms the Mule into a quartet, upping the creative potential for all involved.
Being the consummate musician that he is, Haynes guides this potent ensemble down a wide-ranging path. Wielding his ever-present slide, the in-demand guitarist pours plenty of soulful playing into the country-tinged mellowness of "Wine and Blood," switching gears to plug a wah-wah pedal in for the muscular strut "Perfect Shelter." Louis's organ provides a neat ...
| | Bright Eyes I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning CD (2005)
Lifeline album
$10.89
In early 2005, young indie icon Conor Oberst (AKA Bright Eyes) unveiled two full-length albums--I'M WIDE AWAKE, IT'S MORNING and DIGITAL ASH IN A DIGITAL URN. Whereas the latter proved to be a departure into electronic music, the former sticks to Oberst's established sound, which combines the urgency and heart-on-the-sleeve sentiment of emo-rock with twangy, down-home feel of alt-country and folk music.
I'M WIDE AWAKE begins with Oberst telling a story that morphs into "At the Bottom of Everything," a jangly, upbeat tune featuring My Morning Jacket's Jim James on backing vocals. Throughout the record, Oberst reaches nearly hysterical peaks, seemingly overcome with emotion as his wavering voice, which often recalls Violent Femmes' Gordon Gano, veers almost, but not quite, out of control. Oberst's eccentric vocal delivery makes his pairings here with ever-graceful harmony singer Emmylou Harris intriguing, particularly on the rambling shuffle of "Another Travellin' Song." Although Oberst manages ...

| | Glenn Mercer Wheels In Motion CD (2007)
Lifeline album
$11.79
Wheels in Motion is the long-awaited solo album from former Feelies frontman Glenn Mercer. He has been quiet in recent years since disbanding Wake Ooloo, the group he led following the Feelies' demise in the early '90s. Wheels in Motion will sound agreeably familiar to the fans of those nerd-punk heroes. In fact, the album overall feels structured something like a Feelies tune. It starts subtly with the gentle, strummy opening number "Days to Come," but the tempo gradually builds with the succeeding tracks. On the second song, the title track, Mercer displays his distinctive guitar playing, balancing more guitar strumming with some dipping-and-soaring electric guitar work. His buzzy guitar playing gets showcased more prominently on the subsequent tracks: the bright, almost bouncy "Morning Light" and the darker "Into the Clear." The disc peaks with the magnificent "Whatever Happens." This tune, with its jagged, noisy guitars and Anton Fier's fierce drumming, most closely captures the classic Feelies' sound. The rest of the album's pace maintains this ebb and flow of strumming acoustic guitars and edgier electric guitars. "Two Rights" is a second half standout with its jangly, near-poppy sound. The disc concludes with a wonderful melding of two George Harrison songs: "Within You, Without You" and "Love You To" (a not surprising cover choice considering that the Feelies recorded several Beatles tunes during their lifetime). Mercer doesn't appear to be avoiding his past; he enlisted a handful of former Feelies colleagues (bassist Brenda Sauter-Barnes and drummers Fier, Stanley Demeski, Vinny DeNunzio, and Dave ...

| | Wyclef Jean Carnival II: Memoirs Of An Immigrant CD (2007)
Lifeline songs
$11.39
In the decade since his post-Fugees solo debut Wyclef Jean has become as well known as an activist as a pop artist. CARNIVAL II: MEMOIRS OF AN IMMIGRANT reflects Jean's political commitment in its detailing of immigrant experience, but not without also turning in an album of bright, eclectic, and continually inventive music. Reggae, Latin, and South Asian sounds can be heard amid the hip-hop and R&B, creating a multicultural pastiche that perfectly suits Jean's lyrical message.
CARNIVAL II is star-studded affair, with everyone from Paul Simon to Mary J. Blige to Nora Jones to the Minister Louis Farrakhan making guest appearances. There's plenty of the smooth rapping and pop smarts that Jean fans expect, but the arrangements and production for the disc set it a cut above. "Riot," featuring dancehall king Sizzla and System of a Down's Serj Tanikan, is a highlight, as ...

| | Lemon Drops Sunshower Flower Power CD (2009)
Lifeline music CDs
$22.29
Sunshower Flower Power is not a simple re-hash of previous Lemon Drops releases (ie. Definitive Collection on Collectables, Crystal Pure on Magnum Records, etc.). Simply put, the masters and recordings that were sourced now, are a revelation. In other words The Lemon Drops never sounded better. Note: "Sometime Ago" (raga version) and The Theater of Your Eyes" are previously unreleased stereo versions that are "psychedelic" gems that arrived just as this release was going to press. The tray card below does not reflect this. Sunshower Flower Power tells the full story of The Lemon Drops for the first time. Complete recording history, lyrics pages, and band memorabilia complement the CD booklet. In other words if you like the sound of flower-power psych. then prepare for the sound quake of The Lemon Drops! Here follows a short synopsis: The Lemon Drops were pioneers of a flower-power folk rock sound in and around the Chicago suburbs in 1967. The mastermind behind their music was a former naval cadet, Reggie Weiss. The first song he wrote for The Lemon Drops was inspired by the effects of a LSD trip and titled “I Live In The Springtime”. Long recognized as a classic example of psychedelic folk-rock, “I Live In The Springtime”, has appeared on the Rhino Nuggets Box Set, Pebbles Volume Eight and many other compilations. In addition to the shimmering splendor ...
