| | Billy Bob Thornton Modbilly Vinyl LP Record Billy Bob Thornton Discography of CDs
Although he doesn't like to talk about it, if an infamous 2009 interview with CBC Radio is to be believed, the Boxmasters are known primarily because of bandleader Billy Bob Thornton's successful acting career. The two-CD, 24-track MODBILLY is the trio's second album, and its loose, genial brand of country-rock remains largely unchanged from their 2008 debut.
Personnel: W.R. "Bud" Thornton (vocals, drums, background vocals); J.D. Andrew (acoustic guitar, electric guitar, bass guitar, background vocals); Mike Butler (electric guitar, lap steel guitar, dobro).

Purchase Modbilly CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Vince Gill Let There Be Peace On Earth CD (1993)
Modbilly album
 $5.25   
Christmas music releases have become a country music tradition, but the result is often generic mushy background instrumentation on the same moldy standards. Guilty of this is Vince Gill, whose Let There Be Peace on Earth is as cliche-ridden as they come. ~ Roch Parisien
Recorded at Javelina West, Nashville, Tennessee.
Personnel: Vince Gill (guitar, acoustic guitar, electric guitar); Steve Gibson (guitar, acoustic guitar, electric guitar); Dean Parks (acoustic guitar, electric guitar); John Hughey (steel guitar); Charlie McCoy (harp); Stuart Duncan (fiddle); Shane Keister (piano, organ, synthesizer); John Barlow Jarvis (piano, keyboards, synthesizer); John Jarvis ...

Modbilly songs
$9.25
A classic modern country album, THE TRIO is as pretty as music gets. The ethereal harmony vocals of three of popular music's sweetest swingers, Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris and Linda Ronstadt, would be enough--their harmonies couldn't have been closer if they were triplets. But THE TRIO offers something more, gathering songs that not only utilize their natural singing talents but also bring out the emotional timbre of their collective voice.
From the ultra-pretty Phil Spector pop classic "To Know Him Is To Love Him" to the hard-country Jimmie Rodgers song "Hobo's Meditation" and the high-lonesome "Memories Of You," THE TRIO brims with musicality. There are several traditional songs, a folk song written by Jean Ritchie, the spine-tingling gospel standard "Farther Along" and some strong Dolly Parton originals. On "Telling Me Lies," written by Linda Thompson, Linda Ronstadt delivers one of her most controlled performances ...
| | Christmas With The New Christy Minstrels: Complete! CD (2001)
Modbilly album
$14.35
Christmas With the New Christy Minstrels: Complete! offers not one, but two albums by the group of the same name. Interestingly, because of a number of personnel changes, none of the members present for Merry Christmas! in 1963 remained with the group in 1966 when Christmas With the Christies was recorded. While the group has been eclipsed by Peter, Paul, and Mary over time, the New Christy Minstrels' star shone as bright as any folk group in the mid-'60s. The group carved out a unique choral sound, achieved with the help of nine members. When the Christies combined complex arrangements with several talented lead singers on songs like "Beautiful City" and "Tell It on the Mountain," they created a rich tapestry of sound. With nine singers, only the most ardent fans know that the group was the brainchild of Randy Sparks, or that Nick Woods and Art Podell handled the arrangements on the early albums. The bottom line to most fans was how good the group sounded on songs like "The Shepherd Boy" and "Parson Brown." In fact, quite a few people consider Merry Christmas! to be the group's best album and have been listening to scratchy copies of the LP for over 25 Christmases. If this album shines less brightly, it has something to do with the more formalized arrangements and pop production. The New Christy ...

| | Del Tha Funkee Homosapien No Need For Alarm Vinyl LP (1994)
Modbilly music CDs
 $15.95
All songs written or co-written by Del The Funky Homosapien. Samples include "Flat Backing" (as performed by Blue Mitchell), "What Do You Do In The Dark" (as performed by B.T. Express), "Chain Reaction" (as performed by The Crusaders) and "Tranquility" (as performed by Sam Rivers).
After helping create the West Coast underground scene with his 1991 debut, Del tha Funkee Homosapien made a radical departure with 1993's No Need for Alarm, eschewing the familiar G-funk of his debut for a jazzier, more sophisticated sound more akin to East Coast acts like Black Moon and Main Source. The thematic and lyrical content of Del's work underwent a considerable change as well, with No Need for Alarm largely avoiding the endearing comic vignettes and blunted utopian vision of his debut for a never-ending string of battle raps. Del's loopy sense of humor remained intact, but without the structure and pop savvy of I Wish My Brother George Was Here, No Need for Alarm feels a bit aimless, even if it does contain some of Del's best work to date. "Catch a Bad One" showcases Del's new direction to the best effect, driven by Casual's sinister, hypnotic, string-laced production and some of the fiercest and most potent battle raps of Del's career. When No Need for Alarm works, it's terrific -- funny, skillfully produced, and wonderfully propulsive. Unfortunately, it only works about a third of the time. Critics have taken Del's debut to task for having a fairly generic P-funk-dominated sound more in line with executive producer Ice Cube's work than Del's unique sensibility, but Del has always functioned better when paired with strong collaborators. Sure, it could be argued that I Wish My Brother George Was Here and Deltron 3030 reflect the sensibilities of producers and co-producers Ice Cube and DJ Pooh and Dan the Automator as much as they do Del, but working with strong-willed peers has a tendency to temper the artist's tendency toward self-indulgence and bring out the best in him. Without a strong sense of direction, No Need for Alarm is frustratingly uneven, rich and transcendent one moment and aimless ...
| | Ancient Greeks Song Is You Vinyl LP (2003)
Modbilly songs
$13.89
On this release, the base quartet augments its rock vernacular with keys, electronic performers, and strings on this most interesting release, as the musicians' broad vernacular features a stylistic fusion of progressive rock, art rock, late-'60s psychedelia, urban folk, and so on. One of the sometimes-unusual characteristics of the band's makeover has to do with Chris Warland's understated vocals, whereas the group pursues dreamy riffs with the hard-edged ...
