Quicksilver's principal claim to fame on its first two albums was the dueling guitars of Gary Duncan and John Cippolina; here, Duncan has been replaced with Brit piano wiz Nicky Hopkins, of Beatles/Stones/Who/Kinks fame, and the band's sound is altered accordingly. On the opening title tune, for example, the band still gets much mileage out of the Bo Diddley beat (the entire second effort had been based on it), but in the song's instrumental mid-section, Haight Ashbury meets London, which is to say the blues riffs co-exist with English Music Hall influences. Overall, the songs here aren't as uniformly strong as on the band's debut; fortunately, the album's closer, the Hopkins instrumental "Edward (The Mad Shirt Grinder"), is a delightful surprise, a melodic suite for honky-tonk piano and rock band that oozes low-key charm.

Rolling Stone (5/14/70, p.54) - "...The Quicksilver on SHADY GROVE has had its collective head turned around by Nicky Hopkins. The result is more precise, more lyrical, more textured Quicksilver..."
Mojo (Publisher) (9/00, p.111) - "...The most underrated of the '60s Bay Area bands....Listening to them 30 years on, they sound like a terrific cross between the Dead and Television..."

Purchase Shady Grove CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Glee Cast Glee: The Music, Vol. 2 CD (2009) (Import) Original Soundtrack; United Kingdom
Shady Grove album
 $9.58  
The second Glee soundtrack throws a bone to the show's supporting characters, with Jenna Ushkowitz (the faux-stuttering Tina) singing her first solo and Amber Riley (Mercedes) receiving a larger chunk of airtime. Lea Michele and Matthew Morrison continue to steal the show, though; Morrison delivers one of the album's most inventive songs with a mash-up of "Don't Stand So Close to Me" and "Young Girl," while Michele sings the absolute pants off of everything the producers give her. The album sometimes strays away from choral arrangements and focuses on individual actors, but it's hard not to sing along with a song like "Jump," where the cast replaces Eddie Van Halen's keyboard riff with bright choral harmonies. ~ Andrew Leahey
The second Glee soundtrack feels a bit rushed, arriving no less than four weeks after Vol. 1's release and featuring songs from half as many episodes. Returning fans will still find a lot to enjoy here, though, as ...

| | Gov't Mule By A Thread CD (2009)
Shady Grove songs
$11.89
BY A THREAD is Gov't Mule's first studio album since HIGH & MIGHTY was issued in 2006. Since that time, bassist Andy Hess has been replaced by Jorgen Carlsson, though Hess appears on two tracks at the end of the album. Carlsson's playing style is much more aggressive than Hess', and is therefore closer - in spirit anyway - to Gov't Mule's original bassist, the late Allen Woody, though he possesses an adventurous sense of time and is harmonically more colorful than either Woody or Hess. Carlsson and drummer Matt Abst are a solid match, since Abst is a drummer used to shifting time signatures and allowing the unexpected in while still driving a band. The band's keyboardist and rhythm guitarist, Danny Louis, is a shape-shifter, playing to whatever is needed in a given track. His manner of coloring sounds inside and around a particular tune's framework is a large part of what makes Gov't Mule's sound so fresh here - despite the fact that they don't stray far from what they do best. Warren Haynes and his guitar are, as usual, front and center, his guitar screaming, his big throaty growl hammering down lyrics like a Southern fire-and-brimstone preacher with earthshaking soul. The material ...

Digitally remastered by Bernie Grundman (Bernie Grundman Mastering, Los Angeles, California).
Jackson's domination of the world record market continued following Thriller, although by comparison it was an almighty flop with only 12 million sales. As Pink Floyd and Dire Straits have proved, one album can go completely sales haywire without necessarily being any better. The title track and the gorgeous "Man In The Mirror" were substantial hits, but quality material such as "Dirty Diana" and "Liberian Girl" bolster a strong album. Jackson also seemed to have found the romance he seeks in "I Just Can't Stop ...
