| | Staple Singers Freedom Highway CD Staple Singers Discography of CDs
In soulfulness, nuance, and the power and feeling in the performances, these classics equal anything else in the Staple catalogue.The vibe here is extremely laid back, with a weary-soul feel that brings to mind late-period Sly Stone. Pop Staples's groovy, slightly countrified guitar leads the family through soulful takes on favorites like "Will the Circle Be Unbroken" and spirited numbers like the title track.
The R&B and funk influences that would dominate the group's chart-busting Stax tenure in the 1970s are evident here, but feel even more incisive when paired with a sanctified message. Listeners searching for the Staple Singers' 1965 Epic release entitled FREEDOM HIGHWAY should be forewarned that the 1991 reissue on Legacy includes only two tracks from original LP (the rest are from Epic sessions from the same time period).

This EMI Gold two-fer assembles a pair of country-inspired albums cut by songstress Vikki Carr in the early '70s. Although Carr's vibrant, emotional vocals may seem better suited for the Great American Songbook than the Acuff-Rose catalog, Nashville by Carr transcends novelty status. Given the obvious parallels between the string-sweetened countrypolitan sound and traditional pop, Carr makes only a few adjustments and tweaks to fit comfortably within Julian Lee's ...

Rubberband's User-Friendly CD Review Sweet Hysteria on a Suburban Block PartyBy Pasckie PascuaUser-Friendly RubberbandAll songs written by Gino M. InocentesProduced by Rubberband and Steve Rosen1997 Original Tape: Executive Producer: P.M.P.2005 Re-Issued On CD: Executive Producer:Ed SunicoTHERE’S AN INSISTENT mix of sidestreet laughter, wounded valentines, and subversive romanticism in Gino M. Inocentes’ songs but these are not the kind that you hear in a nicotine-drowned downtown open mic or on a Friday night AM radio. Despite the accessibility of his tunes’ melodicism, and the illuminating simplicity of his words, this prolific songweaver’s genius doesn’t border on high-handed populist histrionics, but on a very introspective, very intimate, person-to-person musical astuteness and brevity. Simply put, Inocentes’ music is mass-oriented but not necessarily universal. His songs are not going to coax the world to shake their booties or prod the working class to launch into a maddening growl, but no doubt – these gems of pop-rock sorcery stand more chances at igniting sweet hysteria on a suburban block party, period. It’s all about village-level, basement dalliances on a hot August night. Nothing heavy but it’s pure, unadulterated fun—from dusk till dawn. Most Popular Pinoy Combo in NYNo buts about it, Rubberband – vocalist/guitarist Gino Inocentes, bassist Ricky Tarriela, guitarist Warren Daya, and drummer Rommel de Leon – are your straight-down, no-chasers, bottoms-up musical embodiments of Pinoy-in-America community. The infectious Beatles-friendliness of their tunes can easily entice 20 hits an hour at a corner store jukebox, but that’s not the real kick behind this trio of longtime Queens and Staten Island homeboys… Their magic lies on the rough-textured exclusivity, or local-ness, and oft-times aching subjectivity of the songs; deeply personal, unabashedly intimate, but very pleasing to the senses. That’s what matters.That, I believe, is the foremost reason why Rubberband remains as the most popular, most effective, most sought-after all-originals Pinoy rock combo in New York City and north New Jersey. The ever-growing mass of supporters and fans who troop to their shows definitely expect to boogie-till-they-drop while chanting in ear-splitting unison each syllable and consonant of the songs – all no-holds-barred paeans to immigrant woes, neighborhood camaraderie, “tampuhan ng mag-syota,” and “barkadahan” spicks and specks.
