| | O'Jays Family Reunion CD O'Jays Discography of CDs
The O'Jays were probably their classiest act. This 1975 album is typical of the group's work with Gamble and Huff, a life-affirming effort ("Remember, the family that prays together stays together," Gamble avers in the liner notes), proving that socially conscious music such as "Unity," the title tune, could co-exist with appeals to the feet like "Livin' For the Weekend" and "I Love Music."
The once monolithic Motown Sound had begun to fragment in the early '70s, and into the breach stepped Philadelphia International, the label run by genius producers/songwriters Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff. Their stable of artists basically ruled the radio and the nation's dance floors in the middle of the decade.
The O'Jays: Eddie Levert, Walter Williams, William Powell.

Family Reunion album
 $9.65 
In late 1999, the Dutch label KonKurrent invited Minneapolis band Low into an in-house studio to record one of the label's near-legendary In the Fishtank sessions; bands have two days to record between 20-30 minutes of all new material of their choosing. Also touring at the time were Low's pals, the Australian instrumental dynamos the Dirty Three. Low invited them in, and in the same collaborative spirit as another In the Fishtank session involving Tortoise and the Ex, this half-hour session is the document. What is truly amazing about this hookup is how natural these two bands sound playing with one another. Low has been striking out lately, playing different kinds of material while keeping its signature slower-than-slow approach to songwriting. The Dirty Three has taken a more melodic and dynamically restrained tack since ...

| | Harold Mabern Few Miles From Memphis CD (1968)
Family Reunion music CDs
$14.15
On A Few Miles from Memphis, recorded by pianist Harold Mabern in 1968, he's joined by tenors George Coleman and Buddy Terry, bassist Bill Lee, and drummer Walter Perkins for a bluesy, rhythm-filled set featuring familiar fare like "A Treat for Bea" and fun originals like "Walkin' Back." There's also the odd inclusion of "There's a Kind of Hush," a pop song that comes out sounding like an old standard here. ~ Ronnie D. Lankford Jr.
When record labels like Prestige release two albums on one CD, it's a great bargain for music fans. A Few Miles from Memphis combines the album of the same name and Rakin' and Scrapin', both recorded by pianist Harold Mabern in 1968. On the first set he's joined by tenors George Coleman and Buddy Terry, bassist Bill Lee, and drummer Walter Perkins for a bluesy, rhythm-filled set featuring familiar fare like "A Treat ...
| | Solomon Burke That's Heavy Baby 1971-1973 CD (2005) (Import) Australia
Family Reunion songs
$19.99
Raven presents the very best of Solomon Burke's recordings for MGM in the 1970s, many on CD for the first time. A pioneering soul singer, Burke's powerful voice and fervent emotionality were much-admired through the 1960s. At MGM, with arranger Gene Page, Solomon deftly crafted a commercial and contemporary sound - both urban pop ballads and rhythmic hymns to black empowerment, all framed around his impassioned voice. Using fractured, multi-layered background vocals (a la Marvin Gaye), and deep vocals not unlike Barry White, Burke created, over three albums, some of his most powerful, distinctive and important work. This 22-track compilation culls the essence of Burke's MGM albums and includes ...
| | Ike & Tina Turner Nutbush City Limits/Feel Good CD (2006) Bonus Tracks
Family Reunion album
$17.75
Raven's 2006 two-fer Nutbush City Limits/Feel Good combines two of Ike & Tina Turner's last albums together and adds five bonus tracks, three of which were taken from other Ike & Tina albums from the early '70s, one taken from a Tina solo record, and one disco mix of "Nutbush City Limits." The album that arrives first on this two-fer was actually the last of these two to be released: Nutbush City Limits appeared in 1973, a year after Feel Good, but its title track is one of Ike & Tina's best-known songs so it's an appropriate choice to kick off this disc. Besides, the two records are so similar in tone and approach, ...

Family Reunion music CDs
$13.15
OTAR loves a wistful melody in a waltz///OTAR is the ache in his voice///OTAR is the guitar that weeps and moans///OTAR writes songs that make his whole body sing///He writes songs that make everybody cry and laugh///OTAR lives for music///REBEL RECORD is OTAR – its charged, sincere, melodic, politically outspoken and at times quite ferocious. Some Quotes: “REBEL RECORD is a powerfully defiant album with tremendous musical range and fluidity, and a unique electric sound. Reminiscent of Beatles, Floyd, Radiohead and Zappa” – Arthur VanDelay, E-Musician Magazine. “REBEL RECORD is an inspired and artfully performed statement that will blow your socks off." - Tom Giraldi, Chicago Voice, 9/2006. REBEL RECORD features Otar Taktakishvili (a classically trained pianist and multi-instrumentalist and guitarist for technofunkrock band The Gglitch) on guitar, voice, bass, piano, organ and many other instruments, and a gifted young drummer, Adam Morford on drums. Music was recorded in Otar’s Fat King Studios in the tranquil and eerie seclusion of the lonesome midwest. The album has a distinctive style that defies classification, but perhaps may be described as Psychedelic/Alternative Rock. It is driven by flowing melodies, fluid arrangements with smooth transitions and deeply textured, electronic undertones. The album’s rich production is evident in such songs as “Kid Klash” and “Venus’ Embrace”, while its elegant simplicity is expressed in “Alone” and “Drift”. Lyrics to the first track ...
