Live It Up
 $6.55   
The Brothers Johnson first earned national recognition as recording artists by singing the sensuously funky mid-tempo number "Is It Love That We're Missin'," featured on Quincy Jones' album Mellow Madness. The dynamic duo maintains that same groove on this, its debut release for A&M Records. The first single was the moderate number "I'll Be Good to You," which is soothing like a ballad but inducing like a liquid funk cut. The guitar tandem landed on top of the R&B charts with this gold-selling single. They returned to the Top Five with the bona fide funk jam "Get the Funk out of My Face," which peaked at number four. Their remake of the Beatles' classic "Come Together" comes with a soulful twist. Aside from this remake, the Brothers co-wrote every other song on this album, including the untarnished instrumental "Tomorrow," which later became a number one single for Quincy Jones' Back on the Block. This album is consistent throughout. ~ Craig ...
| | Average White Band Awb CD (1974)
Live It Up
$6.29
In those benighted pre-Chili Peppers dark ages of the mid-'70s, the notion of a bunch of Caucasian Scotsmen laying down heavy funk seemed an odd one. Even a cursory listen to AWB puts any such reservations quickly to rest. Alan Gorrie's soulful vocals and percussive, syncopated basslines interact perfectly with Hamish Stuart's funky, rhythmic guitar work. On the band's signature tune, the mostly instrumental "Pick Up the Pieces," the theme is stated by a punchy-but-slinky horn section, with sinuous interpolations from Hamish. Here the band demonstrates its impressive rhythmic facility and its ability to stop on a dime (the death-defying groove rivals the JBs in their prime).
For a group capable of such intense polyrhythmic interaction, the Average White Band keeps things surprisingly song-based, and Gorrie's vocals are the central focus of everything but "Pick Up the Pieces." "Nothing You Can Do" and "Just Wanna Love You Tonight" dip into romantic R&B love balladry, while "Keepin' It To Myself" finds ...
| | Isley Brothers Isleys Live CD (1973)
Live It Up
$7.59 
The 1996 reissue of THE ISLEYS LIVE includes extra tracks from the album LIVE AT YANKEE STADIUM originally released on T-Neck (#3004) in September 1969.
Recorded live in 1969 and 1973. Originally released on T-Neck (3010). Includes liner notes by David Nathan.
This superb live album captures the Isley Brothers at the moment their eclectic combination of old school R&B, psychedelic rock, and blazing funk reached its full late-1960/early-'70s peak. The original lead-vocal line-up--Ronald, O'Kelly, and Rudolph--is still in full-force here, and their gospel-inflected singing fits perfectly into a rock/funk context. The fiery backing band features a young Ernie Isley on guitar. Deeply inspired by Jimi Hendrix (who played with the Isleys in the early '60s), Ernie's spectacular leads radiate through the entire performance.
In addition to funky originals ...

"Ours is a group with built-in hate." Pete Townshend said that in 1965, around the time that THE WHO SING MY GENERATION came out. That hate--or, more accurately, angst--jumps out of the grooves on the album. Although the line between righteous anger and self-centered bitchiness occasionally wears thin, there is no denying that the Who were truly revolutionary. The arresting teenage anthem "My Generation," the shaky solidarity of "The Kids Are Alright," the dizzy confusion of "Instant Party (Circles)"--never had pop music expressed such raw emotions in such an uncompromising manner.
At the same time, Townshend, despite his bluster, could not escape the fact that underneath his rage lay a melodist worthy of the Brill Building. On tracks such as the crystalline, harmony-laden "Much Too Much," he proved that he didn't need power to create a powerful pop song. In other words, you don't have ...
| | Gary Moore Scars CD (2002)
Live It Up
$9.99
After spending over a decade churning out electrified blues, Gary Moore partially returns to his hard rock beginnings in Scars. Reminiscent of '60s power trios such as Cream and especially the Jimi Hendrix Experience ("World of Confusion" is practically a rewrite of "Manic Depression" and "Ball and Chain" borrows the riff from "Voodoo Child"), Moore hasn't abandoned the blues, he's just pumped it up with blustery retro roots rock. With all the genre's limitations, the guitarist is so obviously inspired in this format that the album is a success on its own terms, even though it breaks little new ground. "Wasn't Born in Chicago" infuses jazzy drums and slight electronics to enhance the basic three-piece assault, resulting in the album's most unique and arguably best performance. Moore's pacing also helps as he softens his attack on ballads like "Just Can't Let You Go" and the closing "Who Knows (What Tomorrow May ...
| | Jerry Garcia All Good Things...Studio Sessions CDs (2004)
Live It Up
$63.59
Includes remastered versions of Jerry Garcia's five solo studio albums with bonus tracks, a bonus disc of previously unreleased tracks, and a 130 page booklet.
Recorded between 1972 & 1982. Includes liner notes by Robert Hunter and Blair Jackson.
All tracks have been digitally remastered using HDCD technology.
Though the Grateful Dead were notorious for sounding better onstage than in the studio, Dead leader Jerry Garcia's solo work fared better on record, perhaps due to its less open-ended nature. The six-disc ALL GOOD THINGS set brings all of Garcia's studio recordings under one roof--along with a handsomely appointed booklet and a disc of outtakes--and convincingly makes the case for Garcia as the most aesthetically successful Dead solo artist.
