A shockingly successful novelty, Me First & the Gimme Gimmes have gotten a surprising amount of mileage out of earnest pop-punk covers of songs from genres as diverse as country and show tunes. They got their start, however, with their first album, HAVE A BALL, which featured soft-rocking songs from the 70s and 80s. To celebrate its 10-year anniversary, they've released all the material from the original sessions on HAVE ANOTHER BALL. Sped-up versions of songs your mom loves, such as Hall & Oates's "Rich Girl" and James Taylor's "You've Got a Friend" whiz by with a snarky wink.

Purchase Have Another Ball CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Flaco Jimenez Ay Te Dejo En San Antonio Y Mas! CD (1986)
Have Another Ball album
$14.49 Lyrics translated from the Spanish by Guillermo Hernandaz, Yolanda Zepeda and Jaime Nicolopulos.
Following on from his father Santiago Jimenez' own successful run as a conjunto musician in San Antonio, Flaco Jimenez put together a conjunto of his own in the '50s, eventually becoming one of the most famous figures in Tex-Mex music (also known as Musica Nortena in Mexico). Based on the polkas and waltzes Mexican performers refashioned as rancheras, the Tex-Mex conjunto style features accordion, the 12-string bajo sexto guitar, bass, and drums. Flaco immediately staked his claim in the music with a distinctly imaginative and lively accordion style, finding the ideal backing from equally able Tejano musicians, including his father and his son David. For this excellent 1985 recording, Flaco teams up with noted bandleader and bajo player Toby Torres, bassist Henry "Big Red" Ojeda, and drummer Isaac Garcia. The group works through a variety of song forms, including rancheras, boleros, danzons, and polkas. ...
| | Phil Alvin County Fair 2000 CD (1994)
Have Another Ball CD music
$10.69 Brothers Phil and Dave Alvin were the heart of California roots-rockers the Blasters. After songwriter/guitarist Dave's departure for a solo career, Phil kept the group alive, but mostly on a local performance level, not as a recording unit. He released his first solo album in 1986, but it took him eight years to make another.
Like its predecessor, COUNTY FAIR finds Phil Alvin backed by a shifting cast of characters, exploring an eclectic batch of American roots styles, from blues to country to R&B and rockabilly. On several songs, he's backed by the '90s version of the Blasters, but Alvin goes further afield in collaborations with the Dirty Dozen Brass Band and singer Mary Franklin. The solo efforts of each brother underline what the other brought to the Blasters; ...

| | Cry Baby CD (1990) Original Soundtrack
Have Another Ball album
$6.49 John Waters' Cry-Baby goes hand in hand with Hairspray, and is a musical film that will probably appeal more to Waters' fans than fans of musical cinema. There is nothing original or exciting about the music on the soundtrack, as energetic as it is, and its bizarre nature is probably due to the scenes from the film rather than its own oddities. Waters describes it as "music that proved kids knew how to be bad before sex, drugs, and rock & roll," yet there seems to be little separation between those attributes and the concoction of lust and loudness here. Songs like "Doin' Time for Bein' Young" and "High School Hellcats" are no different from rock & roll, except that they sound like weak imitations of songs from Grease. Waters, the master of imitation and suburban insult, may very well have planned it that way. What might have changed everything would be to have Johnny Depp, who stars as Wade "Cry-Baby" Walker, sing the songs himself. He ...

Have Another Ball music CDs
$13.35 As good as the Charley Jordan material here is, the real find of this disc is Hi Henry Brown's recording of "Titanic Blues" and its guitar duet between Brown and Jordan. As a piece of belated topical blues, it is an extraordinary song, but the exciting interplay between two guitars really makes the record and, ...

| | Thaxton Ward Promise CD (2004)
Have Another Ball album
$9.55 Sometimes you hear music that speaks to your soul. The words, the melody, the beat, it fits. It's real. Sometimes when you hear music that's good, really good, you want to move, dance and scream all at the same time. Music is a release, music is art, music is fun, and music mirrors life. THAXTON WARD is that kind of music. "Epic" music, as they call it, is exciting, compelling and memorable. It's music that is written to surpass the ordinary song. A high-energy rock band living in Nashville, THAXTON WARD's members are from the far corners of the country brought together by a passion for music that people want to hear. Band front man Thaxton Ward captures the group's music best, "our songs are about people coming of age in a different generation-a different time and place where facing passion, love, hate, religion, war and life. We all have to find ...
