| | James Brown Living In America CD James Brown Discography of CDs
 (1 Customer Review)
LIVING IN AMERICA is a radical update of the classic James Brown sound, utilizing '80s/'90s production styles. From synth bass lines to guest rappers, turntable scratches and programmed rhythm tracks, the album is a virtual textbook of post-hip-hop ... Full Descriptionrecording techniques. This 180 degree stylistic turn could be viewed as either bold or opportunistic, depending on your inclination. You might miss the tightly-wound funk of the JB's, but you have to admire Brown for refusing to stagnate. Regardless of the backing, it's Brown's emotive grunts, shrieks and moans that are the centerpiece here, as on any of his other albums. For the faithful, that will be enough.

Living In America Music Review Purchase Living In America CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Allen Toussaint The Bright Mississippi CD (2009)
Living In America album
 $15.65   
Fans of legendary New Orleans musician Allen Toussaint may at first be surprised that, for his first album in over a decade, the producer, songwriter, and pianist would choose to forgo recording his own stellar material in favor of a collection of cover tunes. The songs here aren't just any songs, however, but a rich selection of Big Easy standards, as interpreted by one of the city's most gifted musical sons. The resulting Joe Henry-produced gumbo draws upon all of Toussaint's myriad musical experiences, but often focuses on his incredibly soulful piano playing. Even when other instruments take the lead (the trumpet on "A Dear Old Southland," the clarinet on "Just a Closer Walk ...
| | Temptations DVD (1998)
Living In America CD music
 $10.15 
Musically oriented filmmaker Allan Arkush directs this fine biopic which tracks the legendary career of The Temptations. One of R&B's most influential, revered bands, the five men enjoyed overnight success and helped define the Motown period. Like many other success stories, though, this one has a dark side -- with self-destructive impulses and personal problems threatening to destroy the band's reign. In addition to capturing the drama of the group's ...
| | Maze Featuring Frankie Beverly Greatest Hits CD (2004) Remastered
Living In America music CDs
$13.45 
Representative of the transition between late-1970s funk and the smooth R&B that came to dominate '80s pop radio, Frankie Beverly's Maze is rightfully recognized as an important band in the genre. This 2004 compilation brings together 18 of Maze's finest moments, ranging from 1979's bass-popping jam "Workin' Together" to the silky, Quiet Storm vibe of 1993's "The Morning After." In between is more than a decade's worth of accessible soul, including lock-step funk ("Running Away"), slow-pulse love balladry ("Never Let You Down"), and lounge-ready mid-tempo grooves ("We Are One").
Leader, songwriter, and singer Frankie Beverly is the focus here, and his smooth-as-butter croon, complete with emotive R&B embellishments, shines throughout. Though influenced by such '70s acts as Funkadelic, Smokey Robinson, and Marvin Gaye (Gaye, incidentally, helped Maze get its professional start), the music of Beverly and company is undeniably ...
| | Rick Ross Deeper Than Rap CD (2009)
Living In America songs
$11.69 
On his third studio LP, Mafioso rapper Rick Ross takes a page from the Notorious B.I.G., celebrating the spoils of his gangsta lifestyle over 14 considerably smoother tracks. Reeling from the allegations of his past as a corrections officer, Ross does his best to assert street credibility, throwing shots at 50 Cent on the album opener, "Mafia Music." From there, the Miami representative calls on a lengthy group of big-name guest artists (Lil Wayne, Kanye West, T-Pain, John Legend, The-Dream, among others) to collaborate on a slew of R&B-flavored cuts. Like Biggie at his best, Ross is able to maintain a mood ...
| | Dr Dre Chronic CD (1992) Parental Advisory
Living In America album
$14.05 
A great hip-hop album relies on a balance of two components: lyrical skill and correctly-matched production. Often they can be found in conflict, undermining one another; but when an artist masters both techniques, the results can be incredibly rewarding. On his solo debut THE CHRONIC, Dr. Dre not only discovered this balance but took it to the next level, making gangsta funk a multi-platinum commodity and changing the face of rap forever.
Dre (nee Andre Young) began his musical career with the World Class Wreckin' Cru, but came to prominence as one of the founding members of hip-hop's first super-group, N.W.A. By the time of THE CHRONIC's release, he had already returned to the limelight with a slammin' single, "Deep Cover," on which he shared the stage with a previously unknown rapper named Snoop Doggy Dogg. It was Snoop's idiosyncratic flow that lay behind Dre's Funkadelicized G-Funk and powered THE CHRONIC.
Dre is the West Coast's king of hard-core production, but the content of lyrics such as "A Nigga Witta Gun" and "Rat-Tat-Tat-Tat" hit hard enough. Songs such as "Bitches Ain't S**t" also showed that Dre and the rest of his crew could get away with many controversial opinions by simply adding a mean bass line and a hypnotic beat. Yet, "Nuthin' But A `G' Thing" and "Let Me Ride" both used the smooth G appeal to capture not just rap fans, but the pop audience ...
| | U.S. Music With Funkadelic CD (2009)
Living In America CD music
$10.75
This long-lost Funkadelic gem was recorded and mixed in 1972, but never released. By the early `70s, George Clinton and company were suffering from problems with personnel and labels, yet continued recording as a side-project called U.S. (standing for United Soul). The group included key members of Funkadelic, including Clinton and Bernie Worrell, and featured newly recruited singer, songwriter, and guitarist Gary Shider (who later became a permanent member of Parliament-Funkadelic).
The album departs from the dark, psychedelic meanderings of the band's first three albums and moves in a more song-oriented direction with an emphasis on rock guitar and grooves. Shider, in particular, shines on "Baby, I Owe You Something Good" and "Broken Heart," but the whole set serves to remind that Funkadelic were among the ...

| | Slow Motion CD (2005)
Living In America CD music
$15.65
The 2005 compilation SLOW MOTION collects songs that share the same pace and sensuality, and the same themes of eternal kisses, honey love, and bedroom eyes. The tunes are mostly drawn from a decade earlier, celebrating the soul crooners of the 1990s who were just beginning to explore hip-hop (with Motown influences still strong in their throats), while the lush productions of the 1980s were still glowingly conspicuous. SLOW MOTION basks in diversity, and includes pop-soul singers, rappers, and many others under one roof.
The track listing for SLOW MOTION contains some of the biggest smashes of the decade, including Boyz II Men's unabashedly weepy and ultimately sweet "End of the Road," and All-4-One's unlikely cover of a country smash, "I Swear" ...
