Ritchie Valens was only 17 when he died in 1959. His musical legacy rests on about an album and a half of completed studio material, a poorly recorded high-school concert, and a handful of demos and rehearsal tapes, all of which actually makes this extremely brief ten-song set a decent purchase, since the longer compilations are forced to include a lot of filler. In the case of Valens, who had no real time to refine or develop his obvious talents, less is quite likely best. Valens' big hit, "La Bamba," is here, along with its flip side, "Donna" (which was actually the A-side, but "La Bamba" has emerged over time as Valens' signature tune), and they are probably the two tracks most casual listeners will want. Collectors and serious fans should definitely pick up one of the longer anthologies, since the demos and unfinished tracks most of them feature are certainly interesting, if hardly essential. ~ Steve Leggett La Bamba And Other Hits Music Ritchie Valens La Bamba And Other Hits Songs La Bamba And Other Hits Music La Bamba And Other Hits Review

La Bamba And Other Hits album
 $9.55     
Susan Boyle's grand unveiling on Britain's Got Talent was with a song from Les Miserables - the very song that lends this album its title -- and if she could become an international sensation based on a show tune standard, there's no reason for her to change her approach on her debut, since that's the sound that made her a star. Plus, a large part of Boyle's appeal is that she's a middle-aged woman recalling a bygone era when there were ...

Since Jimmy Buffett never leaves his comfort zone, it's hard to call 2009's Buffet Hotel a return to roots but, in a way, it is. Discounting the mock rap on "Turn Up the Heat and Chill the Rosé," this album doesn't even have the lingering country and reggae ...

Bintangs: ‘Genuine Bull’, a landmark in Dutch pop history... 2008 was a year of celebrations for Dutch music fans. Somehow, somewhere it was decided that the birth of Dutch pop music happened 50 years ago with the release of ‘Rock Little Baby Of Mine’, the first single of Indo-rockers the Tielman Brothers (on a Belgian label!). As always the true heroes, the people that paved the way were grossly over-looked. Hardly a word about legendary bands like Q65, the Outsiders, the Jay-Jays, Cuby & the Blizzards or the Bintangs. An embarrassing oversight, especially where the Bintangs are concerned, as they were founded in 1961 and are still active today. Which makes the Bintangs arguably the longest existing rock band in the low-lands, possibly even in the whole wide world.In ‘61 brothers Frank and Arthy Kraaijeveld started the Bintangs in Beverwijk, mostly known because of its smelly and smoking steelworks. Initially they were playing Indo-Rock, at that time in the Netherlands a popular form of music styled by expatriates from Indonesia. Bintang means ‘Star’ in the Malaysian language and is also the name of a well-know beer brand in Indonesia, hinting at the star in the logo of Heineken, its owner in the ‘colonial’ days of Dutch East India. The Bintangs soon switched to a raw R&B style, strongly influenced by artists like Bo Diddley and Howlin’ Wolf, comparable to the music of British bands like The Pretty Things and The Rolling Stones. The similarities in their repertoire and in the voices of Bintangs vocalist Gus Pleines and Rolling Stones singer Mick Jagger earned the band the nickname ‘The Dutch Rolling Stones’…Early 1966 the Bintangs released their first single You Can’t Judge A Book By Looking At The Cover, a Bo Diddley song. A series of modestly successful singles followed. All extremely collectable these days for fans of Dutch Garage Rock a.k.a. Nederbeat. The first Bintangs album Blues On The Ceiling got released in 1969. That record was well received, but it was its successor, the LP Travellin' In The USA, that truly established the band and spawned two major hit singles: Ridin’ On The L & N and the title track ‘Travellin’ In The USA. The first peaked at #12 in the Dutch Charts and the second at # 9. Both are now classics of the Nederbeat cannon.Fast forward to 1974. After a couple of difficult years in which musicians came and went, the, most likely, 29th line-up with Gus Pleines - vocals/harmonica; Frank Kraaijeveld ...
