Allen's career has been marked by experimentation and a willingness to synthesize musical styles (something he learned from his old bandleader), but the core of LAGOS NO SHAKING is pure Afro-beat. Dense polyrhythms create a rattling skeleton fleshed out by burbling bass lines, chiming guitar, call-and-response vocal lines, and ubiquitous, out-front horn riffs. Allen's compositions may dip into American R&B-style singing ("Kilode") or approximate the cool-toned feel of King Sunny Ade's juju ("Moyege"), but Fela Kuti's legacy lives on in the album's intense, beautifully constructed grooves.
Everything from the title to the music to the graffiti-style cover art on Tony Allen's LAGOS NO SHAKING invokes the spirit of the legendary Fela Kuti, and with good reason: Allen was the drummer and occasional director of Fela's great Africa 70 ensemble, helping in no small part to create the very beat of Afro-beat
Personnel: Tony Allen (drums); Fred Fisher (trombone).
The Wire (p.43) - "Tony Allen's drumming, as lean and forceful as ever, keeps LAGOS NO SHAKING consistently as tight as a pressure cooker." Tony Allen Lagos No Shaking Songs Lagos No Shaking Review

Lagos No Shaking album
$15.65 Petty spontaneously banged out a batch of new tunes for the album, but the band stays true to the original Mudcrutch template of country-tinged roots rock, even attacking a couple of old cover tunes from the Mudcrutch setlist ("Six Days on the Road," "Shady Grove"). Whether it's the reconnection with his youth, the off-the-cuff working methods, or just a change of pace, Petty wound up turning out his most consistently rewarding album since the '80s.

| | Lee Perry Repentance CD (2008)
Lagos No Shaking songs
$11.75 From his groundbreaking reggae and dub productions in the 1970s and beyond, Lee "Scratch" Perry has developed a reputation as one of the great mad geniuses of modern music. As 2008's REPENTANCE shows, Perry is still going strong at age 72, and is still out to prove there's a method to his madness. Perry has opened his sound to incorporate modern rhythm music, including electronica and hip-hop. These influences push his compositions into new territory, yet they are still marked by the sonic adventurousness that has characterized all Perry's work.
Made in collaboration with American musician and producer Andrew W.K., REPENTANCE features an all-star roster of guests including Hot Chip, Spank Rock, M.I.A., Moby, and Chris Stein from Blondie. Their appearances add to the eclectic vibe of the album, but it's also Perry's wacky singing and antics that ...
| | Bee Gees Odessa CDs (1969) Deluxe Edition
Lagos No Shaking album
$33.99 ODESSA is widely regarded as the Bee Gees' finest pre-SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER moment, an elaborate (the original LP had a red velveteen cover), baroque-pop masterpiece on the order of the Zombies' ODESSEY AND ORACLE or even the Beatles' SGT. PEPPER. The ambitious arrangements and elegant-but accessible songcraft of tunes like "Melody Fair," "Lamplight," and "First of May" certainly bears out this estimation. Accordingly, ODESSA has been given a deluxe treatment here, with two full discs of bonus material appended to the original album. While there are a couple of never-before-heard songs amid the bonus tracks, most of discs two and three are occupied by mono mixes and alternate versions of the album's classic tunes, offering fresh glimpses of a cult classic.
ODESSA stands as one of the great British pop albums of the '60s, right up alongside such tours de force as SGT. PEPPER, ODYSSEY AND ORACLE, and S.F. SORROW. In fact, while it's full of elegant baroque pop gems, ODESSA's range even extends beyond its aforementioned peers, delving over the course of its double-length into everything from Gospel to country. Songs like "Melody Fair" employ all the pop smarts the Gibbs earned early in their career and apply them to a much more sophisticated scope of song structure. The seven minute-plus title song is a centerpiece here, an epic account ...
| | Hank Williams The Unreleased Recordings: Gospel Keepsakes CD (2009)
Lagos No Shaking CD music
$12.79 Released as a companion piece to the three-disc box, THE UNRELEASED RECORDINGS, GOSPEL KEEPSAKES (like the box) focuses on Hank Williams's stint on a WSM morning show sponsored by Mother's Best Flour company in 1951, a series of shows that found him loose, good-humored, and reaching deep into his repertoire. The country icon bookended each show with dusted-off gospel chestnuts--most of which feature the three-part harmonies of his backing group, the Drifting Cowboys, who rarely sang on his records.
While his legend ...
