Though criminally overlooked and underrated during his late-1960s/early-`70s period of greatest activity, enigmatic singer-songwriter Terry Callier was later re-discovered by a new generation of music lovers who appreciated his ahead-of-its-time mixture of folk, jazz, and R&B. OCCASIONAL RAIN was Callier's second long-player, but the first to showcase his songwriting. Much of the record is lyrically introspective and melancholy, with the Chicago native's aching vocals framed by a sparse, gentle backing that is pretty without ever becoming easy listening. Some tunes, including the classic "Ordinary Joe," are a bit more upbeat, with bouncy, beatnik-y beats. Throughout, flutes, strings, tinkling piano, and acoustic guitar combine with jazzy harmony and bluesy vocal inflections to give the album a sound that seems simultaneously both urban and pastoral. A career highlight, OCCASIONAL RAIN is a great introduction to an unusual artist at the height of his powers. Terry Callier Occasional Rain Songs Occasional Rain Review

Purchase Occasional Rain CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Chills Kaleidoscope World CD (1986) (Import) Import; Australia
Occasional Rain album
 $23.75
KALEIDOSCOPE WORLD contains 10 bonus tracks and represents everything the band recorded through early 1986, including all of the LOST EP, and the I LOVE MY LEATHER JACKET/THE GREAT ESCAPE 12"
KALEIDOSCOPE WORLD, The Chills' 18-track compilation culled from The Chills early and mid-'80s EPs and singles, is highlighted by the song "Pink Frost."
The Chills' Martin Phillipps mixes up melodic pop with elements of garage rock and punk, creating songs with a sweet melancholy all their own. Phillipps has always been the focus of the Chills, writing and singing the band's songs. His group has also rivaled Menudo in its sheer number of personnel changes. In a just world, the Chills would have sold just as many records.
KALEIDOSCOPE WORLD showcases the shifting line-ups and many moods of the early to mid-'80s Chills. "Rolling Moon" captures a mood of shambling joy, its simple, repeated keyboard riff sounding like a distant caravan crossing New Zealand's big-sky country. "Pink ...

| | Killing Floor CD (1995) With Book; Limited Edition; Digipak
Occasional Rain music CDs
$16.65
The sheer toughness -- and overall derivative -- nature of Killing Floor's debut album, issued six months after Led Zeppelin's debut in 1969 on the Spark label, is a wondrous contrast to the overly slick treatment American blues were given by British artists. All of these tunes, with the exception of one, are revamped versions of songs from the blues canon with different words. The lone "cover" in the set was written by Willie Dixon titled "Woman You Need Love," the tune Zep ripped for "Whole Lotta Love." Despite the fact that this set was issued before by Repertoire, the Akarma version is definitive in that it features the original cover artwork in a heavy cardboard gatefold sleeve, and killer sound. This is a raw, immediate, overdriven, psychedelic blues record that offers an interesting historical counterpoint to the immediate impact of Page and Plant and Co., but it also offers a great contrast to the recent 1990s ...
| | Danny Kirwan Second Chapter CD (1975) With Book; Limited Edition; Digipak
Occasional Rain songs
$19.79
The first solo album from Fleetwood Mac singer/songwriter Daniel David Kirwan has the future producer for Human League and Buzzcocks, Martin Rushent, utilizing those skills here, as well as engineering. The sound is crystal clear, and a feather in the cap for Rushent as well as Kirwan. It starts off with an uncharacteristic "Ram Jam City," which has more Lindsey Buckingham sounds than one would expect, especially since the two guitarists come from two different musical worlds. "Odds and Ends" is more lighthearted, the kind of music Paul McCartney toyed with on The White Album's "Rocky Raccoon." What Second Chapter immediately sets forth is the importance of Kirwan as a pop artist, and how, despite Fleetwood Mac's success after he left, his sounds ...
