| | Patrick Wolf Bachelor CD - Import Patrick Wolf Discography of CDs
Immaculately-coiffed, London-based, glam-dance anti-hero Patrick Wolf's fourth album picks right up where 2007's MAGIC POSITION left off, albeit with a darker palette of colors to paint from. Wolf's penchant for brooding, British-folk melodies pasted into a nightmarish cradle of apocalyptic, techno-chicanery has never been more controlled than on the BACHELOR. Wolf has often stated that he has no allegiance to styles when it comes to recording, but the BACHELOR feels most alive when it's wallowing in it's own dusky ruin.
Audio Mixers: Jonathan Shakhovskoy; Patrick Wolf.
Arranger: Patrick Wolf.Rolling Stone (p.86) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "It's all gloriously indulgent -- Wolf is one kook who should never try to resist his own kookiness."
Spin (p.93) - "This young English showman comes across like the Kanye West of avant-pop....The aggressive tracks bring grins..."
Alternative Press (p.108) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "The London-based compulsive hair-dyer follows 2007's soulful breakout THE MAGIC POSITION with the luxurious sounds of THE BACHELOR..."
Q (Magazine) (p.133) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he ballads swoop and soar like vintage Kate Bush, Wolf's rich baritone bristling with conviction....Daft, complex, and beautiful, it's also his best yet."
Record Collector (magazine) (p.98) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "THE BACHELOR returns to the intensity of Wolf's earliest, most enduring work....A determined reaffirmation of identity."

Purchase Bachelor CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Susan Boyle I Dreamed A Dream CD (2009)
Bachelor album
 $11.29    
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 singers that appealed to an adult audience by offering soft, stately versions of pop hits and standards. That time was the late `60s and early `70s, and apart from a rather faithful version of Madonna's "You'll See," I Dreamed a Dream could very well have been released all those years ago, as it mixes up the show tunes, gospel, and Christmas carols with covers of Skeeter Davis' "The End of the World," the Rolling Stones' "Wild Horses," and a version of "Daydream Believer" that is easily the slowest on record. Boyle sings beautifully throughout, delivering more of the same of what she did in her moment in the sun on television. Those won over by Boyle, either her voice or story, will surely be satisfied. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
There's no question that Susan Boyle's story is inspiring, but the same adjective can't quite apply to her debut, I Dreamed a Dream. This is almost a willful antonym of "inspiring" -- it is not stirring, rousing, or stimulating, it is sleepy, reserved, and placid, but is that a surprise? Boyle's grand unveiling ...
| | Jimmy Buffett Buffet Hotel CD (2009)
Bachelor CD music
$9.74   
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 flavors that seasoned 2006's Take the Weather with You, with all of the songs riding a cool, mellow country-rock wave, the kind that has been his stock-in-trade since the `70s. There's a difference between being part of a tradition and being stuck in the past and Buffett is surely in the former, not shying away from the new millennial mess, admitting that we all have "A Lot to Drink About" and never flinching from his advancing years, most movingly on a cover of Bruce Cockburn's "Life's Short Call Now." Cockburn's song is paired with another expertly chosen cover, Jesse Winchester's "Rhumba Man" (he covered Winchester's "Nothin' But a Breeze" the album before), but this has the highest percentage of original Buffett compositions since 1999's Beach House on the Moon, which is a good indication that Jimmy is in good form. While a handful are collaborations with his longtime colleague Mac McAnally, many of these are co-written with Will Kimbrough, who helps liven up Buffett and sharpen his pen, resulting in one of Jimmy's strongest ...
| | Pink Funhouse CD (2008) Explicit
Bachelor music CDs
$8.99  
Pink's insistently hooky, attitude-filled pop-rock has kept the singer a fixture on the radio and on singles charts since the early 2000s. The artist's fifth effort, FUNHOUSE, doesn't tamper with the formula: Pink's powerhouse vocals and in-your-face approach, backed by stadium-sized production, are in full effect on all 12 tracks. Even though the album deals primarily with aftermath of her divorce and includes serious moments of self-confrontation like "Sober," fans needn't worry that Pink has lost any of her chutzpah.
If anything, there's an increased sense of confidence and newfound liberation on tracks like the chest-thumping "So What" and the mischievous, bouncing "Bad Influence." In softer moments, like the ballad "I Don't Believe You" and the soulful "One Wrong Foot," Pink channels her personal experience into expressions that carry no less strength or muscle. But FUNHOUSE is a pop album first and foremost, and its catchy choruses, rollicking beats, and memorable vocal performances won't disappoint.

| | Very Best Of Lou Monte CD (1997)
Bachelor songs
$15.89
Digitally remastered by Eliot Goshman (1996 BMG Studios, New York, New York).
Lou Monte, the king of the Italian-American novelty song, is well represented on this career-spanning anthology that contains selections from his terms with RCA Victor, Roulette and Reprise, including all of his Top 100 hits. Only a couple of ballads interrupt an otherwise non-stop program of novelties, many of which are Italian remakes of popular songs such as "(At The) Darktown Strutters' Ball" and "The Sheik of Araby." In Monte's world, even the animals are Italian, from the chipmunk-voiced "Pepino the Italian Mouse" and his feline friend ("Pepino's Friend Pasqual") to Rudolph the Reindeer's would-be successor, "Dominick the Donkey." "Calypso Italiano" recalls Rosemary Clooney's "Mambo Italiano" and was a logical response to the calypso craze in 1957. The only song lacking the Italian ...
| | Bon Jovi Circle CD (2009)
Bachelor album
$13.49
Bon Jovi's 2007 effort, LOST HIGHWAY, found New Jersey's finest brandishing a Nashville-tinged, commercial rock/country crossover sound that wasn't too far a stretch from their usual arena rocking anthems for the Everyman. And where that album sometimes tried too hard to fit into the conventions ...

| | George Benson Breezin' CD (1976) Deluxe Edition
Bachelor songs
$9.09
Benson earned his reputation as a superior jazz guitarist through his partnership with soul/jazz organist Brother Jack McDuff. Several solo albums for the CTI label ensued before a switch to the giant Warner Brothers resulted in extraordinary chart success with this release. Benson's remake of the title track, originally a hit for fellow guitarist Gabor Szabo, set the tone for the entire set wherein mellifluous funk underscores the artist's sweet voice and soft-touch technique. Like Nat 'King' Cole before him, Benson left jazz to court a wider audience and with Breezin' he did so with considerable aplomb.
