By the late '70s, Sly Stone wasn't nearly as popular or as visible as he had been in the late '60s and early '70s. But his former bassist Larry Graham was still going strong. Released in 1979, Star Walk was the last album that Graham would record with Graham Central Station for quite some time; in 1980, the influential singer/electric bassist officially became a full-time solo artist and soared to the top of the R&B charts with his debut solo single, "One in a Million You." And not until 1998's GCS 2000 would Graham use the GCS name on another album. If the name GCS had to be put to rest for a long time, at least the band went out with a bang on Star Walk. This excellent LP, which Graham produced himself, is full of sweaty, aggressive funk treasures; anyone who appreciates gutbucket funk would have a hard time not loving "Scream," "The Entertainer," and the single "(You're A) Foxy Lady." But not everything on this record is hardcore funk. "Tonight" is a lush Northern soul ballad, and the unexpected title song finds Graham getting into a synthesizer-driven Eurodisco groove -- if you didn't know better, you would think that Graham traveled to Munich, Germany, and hired Giorgio Moroder to produce the tune. ~ Alex Henderson

Following up his crossover-ridden return from retirement KINGDOM COME, Jay-Z presents a concept album, AMERICAN GANGSTER, inspired by the Ridley Scott movie of the same name. Contentwise, Jay is in his element, spinning street corner imagery and tales of the drug trade in the same spirit as the film, while, on the production end, 1970s R&B and soul samples dominate. The production team of Diddy, LV, and Sean C accounts for much of the record's ...

| | Rosco Gordon Rosco Rocks Again CD (1983) (Import) United Kingdom
Star Walk songs
$16.99
ROSCO ROCKS AGAIN, a late period Rosco Gordon set, was recorded live at the 100 Club in 1982 London. Even though the second waves of both ska and punk were just beginning to wane, this recording makes clear the joint was packed, there was still room for an original. More than 30 years after "No More Doggin," the single that provided the shuffle and the offbeat in the original ska rhythm, Gordon was still going strong. The eight cuts on this set are played impeccably -- and whether they are blues or R&B tunes, the "Rosco Shuffle" is present everywhere. The entire recording was remastered in 2009, with a new cover; in general the overall package is improved with the bonus cuts adding welcome additional material form a stellar performance.
This late-period Rosco Gordon set was recorded live at the 100 Club in London in 1982, just after the ska revival -- that coincided with punk and post-punk -- had died down. No matter, it sounds like the joint was packed, and more than 30 years after "No More Doggin," (the single that provided the shuffle rhythm with an accent on the offbeat that became the original ska rhythm and mutated into reggae), Gordon was still going strong. There are eight cuts on this set played impeccably -- and whether they are blues or R&B tunes, that shuffle -- known popularly as the "Rosco Shuffle" -- is present everywhere. Gordon wrote six of these eight ...
