| | King Yellowman CD Yellowman Discography of CDs
Yellowman's jump to a major label might have had some reggae purists gasping, but the one album that resulted introduced many listeners to the rich world of dancehall music and its cadre of talented DJs. Before he cut this 1984 record for CBS, Yellowman had already hit the peak of his fame in Jamaica, waxing some stellar sides for the supreme early dancehall producer, Henry "Junjo" Lawes. And while King Yellowman doesn't match the quality of such Lawes discs as Mister Yellowman, it does boast enough solid tracks to stave off the cut-out bins. Sporting some commercial-friendly funk and pop touches here and there, the mix boasts highlights like "Jamaica Nice/Take Me Home Country Roads," "Sea Cruise," and "Strong Me Strong." Lawes' deft touch is certainly missed, but the Roots Radics' presence certainly keeps things aboveboard. Not an essential Yellowman title, but one that's enjoyable enough to warrant more than just a few spins on the turntable. ~ Stephen Cook

When four of the world's funniest black stand-up comics came together to celebrate their crownings as the "Kings of Comedy," acclaimed filmmaker Spike Lee decided to film two of their most memorable shows. The result is THE ORIGINAL KINGS OF COMEDY, a raucous concert film that takes its cue from classic performers such as Richard Pryor and Eddie Murphy. The host of the evening, Steve Harvey, spends most of his time criticizing modern music--namely hip-hop--for forgetting to include love in its songs, missing the days when black music was passionate and romantic. D.L. Hughley focuses on universal topics such as work, as well as taking his time to criticize certain unfortunate audience ...

Comedian and ventriloquist Jeff Dunham hits the stage with hilarious new pals Achmed the Dead Terrorist and Melvin the Super hero, as well as old favorites Peanut, Walter, and Jose Jalapeno, in this sidesplitting performance at Washington D.C.'s Warner Theater.
More than just a stand-up comic, Jeff Dunham is a one-man comedy troupe--a ring-leader in a circus of snark. The veteran ventriloquist may be the only one with vocal chords, but he’s often the least vocal, playing straight man to a steam trunk of personalities: Achmed the Dead Terrorist, a goofball skeleton still fighting the infidels; Peanut, an odd purple creature with a fast mouth; Jose Jalapeño, a smooth-talking pepper on a stick; Bubba J, NASCAR’s biggest fan; and Walter, a dirty old man who speaks his mind. Together with his hilarious and irreverent puppets, Dunham riffs on everything from politics to family life, and slays the audience with his quick-witted banter. SPARK OF INSANITY ...

Saturday, March 17, 2007ALL MUSIC.COM REVIEWS IBA'S MANY LIVES"Not a weak track within..."by Jo-Ann Greene - All Music.com Saint Croix born and raised, but now residing in Connecticut, Iba first began garnering attention with his contribution to Mt. Nebo's 2002 Talkin' Roots - Volume 1 compilation. The following year brought his Jah Lion - Children Of The Nile debut album, a fine set, but one that suggested the singer still had a bit of musical maturing to undergo. With Many Lives, fans will discover an artist that has now come into his own.One can still hear slight echoes of the late, great Prince Lincoln, an influence that too haunted his previous set, but now Iba better straddles the dancehall and singer worlds, his strong, deep tenor evoking the soulfulness of a Frankie Paul or even a Beres Hammond.And it's this emotive quality that imbues the entire album, as Iba delivers his strong cultural messages with absolute conviction. And nowhere more so than on the sizzling "Love Life" and the fiery "World Crises", two of the most powerful tracks on the set. Another excellent pair, "Africa" and "Babylon Don't Like", feature DJs Ijah Menelik and Rafijah respectively, with the sizzling "Zion Trail" also delivered in dancehall style.But a clutch of numbers boast a much sweeter styling, "Don't Talk" amongst them, with "Many Lives" and "Jah Teachings" ...
