| | Dazz Band The Best of Funk CD Dazz Band Discography of CDs
Those curious about this Dazz Band comp should be wary: these are tapes from either a single or multiple live shows, and not the original versions of these tunes. In other words, this is one of those cases where either a bandmember sold the tapes to ABC Entertainment/Voiceprint, or the material was simply pirated. The sound quality is quite good, but the keyboard sounds on this record lead one to believe that this isn't the original, hitmaking Dazz Band either, rather some of its members playing gigs under the name at a later date, or a complete reunion show -- the sleeve doesn't make it clear, making the whole package that much more dubious. The performance is better than adequate, but fans should always be wary of "live" or "best-of" albums on lesser-known labels. ~ Thom Jurek

The Best of Funk songs
$17.45 This is a continuous in-the-mix CD compiled and mixed by DJ Richard Morel.
INNOCENTS AND ILLUSIONS compiles the albums RENAISSANCE and ILLUSIONS, as well as bonus tracks.
Recorded between 1969 & 1998. Includes liner notes by David Wells.
Throw on this 1977 set from these hard-working prog rockers and you'll quickly realize that E.L.P. and Yes has nothing on these guys. Features five tracks, including "Can You Hear Me?" and "The Sisters."
This double-disc set offers the first two Renaissance albums in state-of-the-art sound, which is a big help, but there's also a lot more than that -- the producers have augmented the group's self-titled debut album with the single edit of "Island," and the B-side "The Sea," a good piano-driven piece that's a killer showcase for Jane Relf's falsetto, as well as the backup singing of Keith Relf. Much more important is the addition on disc two (devoted mostly to the Illusion album) of the four songs that Keith Relf and Jim McCarty recorded before and after the early history of the group, as a duo. "Shining Where the Sun Has Been" is one of the most charming pieces of sunshine pop ever. The pair of 1970 McCarty-Relf sides (which feature McCarty singing), "All the Fallen Angels" are excellent pieces of spaced out psychedelic folk-pop, and "Prayer for Light" is a bravura Jane Relf showcase. These additions add immeasurably to the appeal of the two albums, and also give us a much better picture of some of what McCarty and Relf were doing beyond the finished first album and the thrown-together second album by the group. The annotation also presents the fullest account yet given of the early history of Renaissance, leading up to the establishment of the group's second incarnation. ~ Bruce Eder
The fourth great album in a row for Renaissance, Live at Carnegie Hall was recorded at three concerts on June 20, 21, and 22, 1975, at New York's Carnegie Hall. Although no one could have known it at the time, it also marked the high point of the group's influence and acceptance -- waiting in the wings, at just about the time this album was released the following year, was the punk rock boom and, a little after that, the disco boom, which would quickly sour audiences and critics on progressive rock. Recorded on tour ahead of the release of Scheherazade and Other Stories, this was the most ambitious concert venture to come out of the progressive rock boom of the 1970s up to that time, featuring the group accompanied by the (uncredited) New York Philharmonic, whose playing shows up on several numbers, but is mostly here for "Song of Scheherazade," which took up one side of the original double LP and more than half of the second disc in the CD version. It and the seven other cuts range across the group's repertory, including revamped versions of "Prologue," "Can You Understand," "Carpet of the Sun," and "Ashes Are Burning," plus live versions of ...

The Best of Funk album
$31.29 Kevin Welch is a card-carrying member of the Texas school of songwriting, and it is easy to reel off the names of some of his classmates: If you like Guy Clark, Lyle Lovett, Steve Earle, Joe Ely, or any one of a dozen or so other literate singer/songwriters with a Southwest sensibility who have been in and out of Nashville since the 1960s, then you'll like Kevin Welch, too. Welch's obvious talents brought him a contract with Warner Bros., but despite the regard in which the school is held ...
