| | Sly & The Family Stone Back On The Right Track CD Sly & The Family Stone Discography of CDs
By the late '70s, Sly Stone had been so thoroughly written off as a has-been that few listeners checked out Back on the Right Track. Nor have listeners been inspired to rediscover the album, since his late-'60s/early-'70s classics cast such a huge shadow over his subsequent work. It comes as somewhat of a surprise, then, to find the basic Stone soul/rock/funk foundation still firmly in place here. There were two problems: the foundation didn't make any notable advancements on the territory he'd already mapped out by the early '70s, and the songs themselves weren't that special, sounding more like basic vamps or promising scraps than fully baked ideas. Judged solely on its own terms, it's actually a respectable slice of funk; it's only when stacked against Stone's other works that the disappointment becomes intense. ~ Richie Unterberger

Back On The Right Track CD music
$13.10 
On her second album for Concord's Stax imprint (and fourth overall), Angie Stone delves deeper into funk and hip-hop than on her previous outings. Her last offering, The Art of Love & War, was a critical and commercial triumph for the vastly underrated vocalist, and topped the Billboard chart. With a slew of producers including Sly Williams, Willie "Chuck" Shivers, Karrim King and Fitzroy Reid, Steven "Supe" White, Jonathan Richmond, Jazze Pha, and Stone herself, these dozen tracks continue to reveal her versatility as a vocalist and recording artist; she can sing whatever it is she wants to with equal verve, authenticity, and flair. Despite the slicker and more diverse sounds on Unexpected, the soul quotient is high, even if this isn't strictly a neo-soul album. The new beat consciousness reveals itself most on the title track, which is hard funk at its 2009 best. Cuts such as "Free" might have come right ...

Produced by Jim Ebert (Marvelous 3, Meredith Brooks, Cowboy Mouth) at Cue Studios Fall Church, Virginia, Jukebox Serenade's "Bliss" represents a balance between the group's mainstream pop and it's indie rock sensibilities. Combining a guitar based rock sound with various hip-hop and synth layerings, "Bliss" embraces past influences from the Beatles to Nirvana while also drawing from more contemporary artists as well. The first single "Abigail" features Beck-like synth lines, heavy guitar chord progressions, and hand clappin' foot stompin' rhythms making the song both fun and hard rocking at the same time. Some songs such as "All Alone With You" and "What He Says" may evoke reminders of popsters Taylor Swift or Kelly Clarkson. The CD opener "Sugarrush" features an intro of dissonant indie rock guitar riffs over a sugar-coated verse/chorus while "Crazy Completelyā€¯ combines a reggae verse with an all-out 80's style pop chorus. "Turning the Page", a Tori Amos meets PJ Harvey composition, is another standout featuring producer Jim Ebert on piano.Originally formed under the name Ringleader, the songwriting duo Lena Esposito and Chris Brownelle released the EP "No Slide Guitar" in 2005.
