| | Daughtry Leave This Town CD Daughtry Discography of CDs
 (5 Customer Reviews)
When he was recording his debut album in 2006, Chris Daughtry didn't have the time to assemble the real rock band he so desperately wanted to have, so it appeared under the band name Daughtry without featuring any of the musicians who later became part of the group. That's not the case with LEAVE THIS TOWN, Daughtry's second record: all five members are glowering on the album cover, floating like specters over an abandoned Californian street. The five rockers serve as visual evidence that Daughtry is a band, not a person, and such reminders may be necessary because LEAVE THIS TOWN doesn't differ much in feel or form from DAUGHTRY. Overall, LEAVE THIS TOWN isn't quite as studio slick as DAUGHTRY, which was fueled by Chris Daughtry's desire prove that he belonged in the big leagues; here, he's achieved that goal and he's happy to stay there as long as possible, giving the people what they want in the form of furrow-browed rockers and brooding power ballads, all saved from their self-conscious sobriety by arena-level hooks, hooks that come from Daughtry and a variety of co-writers including Ben Moody and Nickelback's Chad Kroeger. Daughtry brings these big hooks down to human scale, injecting warmth into his phrasing. Daughtry the band has no desire to make anything other than good, basic, black-and-white modern rock and they do so efficiently on LEAVE THIS TOWN, a sophomore album that's every bit as satisfying as the first.

Entertainment Weekly (p.54) - "Daughtry's relentless competence as a mainstream-rock artist likely serves him far better than any radical departure ever could." -- Grade: B
Billboard (p.44) - "Daughtry's ferocious growl is still the centerpiece of the new songs, but the band has also taken a few creative risks." Daughtry Leave This Town Songs Leave This Town Music Review Average Rating: (4.4 out of 5 stars)   If you liked the 1st CD....

Chris Daughtry getting to write songs with Nickelback’s Chad Kroeger is akin to picking the brains of the Yoda of mainstream rock. Their collaboration ‘No Surprise’ is perfectly named. Daughtry’s second album is similarly surprise-free; more arena-ready FM rock fuelled by cliché, from familiar riffs to beige loved-up lyrics. At least Kroeger’s misogyny didn’t rub off on the Christian Daughtry. Daughtry deals in consistency not cool, just like the 'Idol' sausage factory that spawned him. Critics hate his band, the suburbs love them. They cannily even dangle a foot in country with the Vince Gill duet ‘Tennessee Line’ Welcome to the Anti Radiohead – in a word ‘Safe’

(R)esistere is a concept-album, in that all the songs were conceived and written with a common draft: the continuum between private and public within the life of a person. The unity between the intimate, the interpersonal and the social dimensions creates a canvas where introspective (“L’album”, “Sotto due cuscini”…), relationship (“Carillon”, “Non lasciarmi andare via”…) and socially-committed (“Resistere”, “Kimeo e Kasui”…) songs depict the thoughts and the actions of a single person. Not by chance, the songs that open and close the album (if we exlcude the two fragments that frame the entire work), i.e. “Fa-Si” and “Invecchia con me”, are songs that precisely refer to the continuity between provate and public.Playing with words, one might say that this album is ego-de-centric. Anna Maria Castelli, singer.Castelli is a recording artist who started her carreer as a jazz singer. She has recorded four successful CDs, including “Something to remember”, the first non-classical superaudio CD distributed in Italy. In 2002 she performed in Lithuania with the Lithuanian State Simphony Orchestra a Léo Ferré Opera, “Opéra du Pauvre”. She took part in the Festival of the Mediterranean Peoples in Bisceglie (Italy) with her performance “The night of dream Goddesses” which awarded her the Portovenere Woman Prize in 2002 as the best female project.

A NEW ARRANGEMENT, a 1975 album by Jackie DeShannon, launches with a version of "Let the Sailor's Dance," a rendering that works better than the one performed by her co-songwriter/husband Randy Edelman. Edelman plays piano on "Sailor," as well as on "Boat to Sail," the second track and only tune DeShannon composes without the help of a collaborator. The exquisite country tune that opens Side Two, "Bette Davis Eyes," became a huge worldwide hit for Kim Carnes six years after the release of this influential disc, proving once again DeShannon as powerful a songwriter as a vocalist.
Jackie DeShannon hadn't stopped growing as either a musician and a songwriter in the mid-'70s, but she wasn't having hits like she did in the '60s, so when DeShannon signed with Columbia Records, the label paired her with producer Michael Stewart (who had worked with Billy Joel on his breakthrough album Piano Man) to give her material a more contemporary (and commercial) sound. 1975's New Arrangement moves back and forth between polished adult contemporary material and only slightly less slick country-influenced numbers, and Stewart surrounded DeShannon with an impressive team of accompanists for these sessions, including legendary sessionmen Waddy Wachtel, Jesse Ed Davis, Larry Knechtel, and Leland Sklar, as well as Brian Wilson, who contributes backing vocals on "Boat to Sail" with his then-wife Marilyn. Stewart's production tends to put too much gloss on the music and leans towards the gimmicky in the arrangements, making a few of the songs sound like theme music to thankfully forgotten TV sitcoms, but DeShannon manages to rise above her surroundings. She's in fine voice on New Arrangement, and her songwriting is smart, accomplished, and capable of working in a variety of styles, from the literate title cut (which recalls Court and Spark-era Joni Mitchell) and the subtly witty Walter Mitty tale of "Murphy" to the country-flavored character sketch "Queen of the Rodeo" and the smooth and jazzy sway of "Sweet Baby Gene." The album also features DeShannon's original recording of "Bette Davis Eyes," and unlike the faux-new wave melodrama of Kim Carnes' 1981 hit single, ...
