Another entry in the Bear Family's ROCKS series, this Amos Milburn collection gathers the '40s jump blues pianist and singer's greatest sides, which pointed the way to the commercial R&B of the early '50s and after, especially the piano-based New Orleans variety. Aside from "Down The Road A Piece" (which the Rolling Stones famously covered on 1964's THE ROLLING STONES, NOW!), Milburn is not particularly well-known, despite his other early R&B classics like "Chicken Shack Boogie" and "One Soda, One Scotch, One Beer," which John Lee Hooker later immortalized in his own inimitable style. This typically well-produced single-disc, 31-track compilation, with its extensive liner notes and great remastered sound, should go some ways towards righting that wrong, .Dirty Linen (p.64) - "These 31 tracks from Bear Family testify to the power and glory of one of the forgotten heroes of rock..."

| | Tinsley Ellis Speak No Evil CD (2009)
Rocks CD music
 $14.95 
Tinsley Ellis has worked hard since the early 1980s to establish himself on the contemporary blues scene. As a result, he has become one of the most consistent, and therefore quintessential, electric blues men. He's also a good songwriter in that he stretches the blues form as far as it will go, and occasionally he crosses into solid hard rock territory. On SPEAK NO EVIL, it seems as though Ellis has been listening to some of Robin Trower's early to mid-period records. And what seems to be at work on SPEAK NO EVIL is Ellis trying to push the blues form in a decidedly more rockist direction without losing its emotional feel. Check out the opening track, "Sunlight of Love" With its hard-driven wah-wah pedals and funky backbeat; one can easily imagine this track on Trower's TWICE REMOVED FROM ...

Rocks songs
$10.25
Modern life and the sometimes waning American culture are reflected, exposed and generally made fun of without being high brow by this album by Monkey Bones. For example, the title track: "Television" sarcstically slams the often perverse culture and obsession of reality TV. Other songs deal with sweet real life stories ("Magic") and some with dark real life stories ("Rock Me"is about an obsessed husband portrayed on an episode of "Dr. Phil"). "The Answer" is a powerful and clever track that deals with addiction in a totally unique way (check it out). "Sunny Rays" makes you want to drive with the top down! In all, Monkey Bones is about solid, guitar based, smart Rock and Roll! These are songs you will come back to again and again - Memorable Rock and Roll! Formed in the underground rock mecca of Tulsa, Oklahoma (see, Leon Russell, J.J. Cale, Elvin Bishop, Dwight Twilley) Monkey Bones was formed by Michael Barkett and Alan Bates - two high school friends who decided music was too important in thier lives to ignore. Barkett, ...

| | U2 Unforgettable Fire CDs (1984)
Rocks music CDs
$29.85
With a title inspired by an exhibition of paintings by Hiroshima and Nagasaki survivors, THE UNFORGETTABLE FIRE confirmed U2 as one of a handful of bands able to tackle such vast and emotive subjects with dignity and musical integrity. There are few artists capable of writing about religion, war, race, politics, and life with such ferocity and global commercial success. 'Pride (In The Name Of Love)', an elegy for Martin Luther King, was a breakout hit, and every track--wrapped in the Edge's impressionistic guitar splashes--reveals a quartet hungry for the world stage. The production by Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois was a taste of things to come.
In many ways, U2 took their fondness for sonic bombast as far as it could go on War, so it isn't a complete surprise that they chose to explore the intricacies of the Edge's layered, effects-laden guitar on the follow-up, The Unforgettable Fire. Working with producers Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois, U2 created a dark, near-hallucinatory series of interlocking soundscapes that are occasionally punctuated by recognizable songs and melodies. In such a setting, the band both flourishes and flounders, creating some of their greatest music, as well as some of their worst. "Elvis Presley and America" may well be Bono's most embarrassing attempt at poetry, yet it is redeemed by the chilling and wonderful "Bad," a two-chord elegy for an addict that is stunning in its control and mastery. Similarly, the wet, shimmering textures of the title track, the charging "A Sort of Homecoming," and the surging Martin Luther King, Jr. tribute "Pride (In the Name of Love)" are all remarkable, ranking among U2's very best music, making the missteps that clutter the remainder of the album somewhat ...
