Enjoy the music. It is hard today to find music of the 50s 60s.

Excellent compilation. The 50s are well represented here! I just did not understand why 3 cds if all the songs could easely fit in 2.

3 stars read the fine print
These are good songs, however, the cover states "New stereo recordings by the original artists." Some of these "new" recordings date back to 1977! If you want the ORIGINAL versions, you will be disappointed. The sound quality is good, and these songs are listenable, even if not as originally heard on the radio when they first came out.

Michael Buble Crazy Love CD (2009)

50'S Rock N' Roll music CDs

$14.49

Buoyed by the popularity of the hit contemporary pop ballad "Home," singer Michael Bublé's 2005 album, IT'S TIME, clearly positioned the vocalist as the preeminent neo-crooner of his generation. Easily the singer's most stylistically wide-ranging album so far, 2009's CRAZY LOVE is also one of his brightest, poppiest, and most fun. Bublé kicks things off with the theatrical, epic ballad "Cry Me a River" and proceeds to milk the tune with burnished breath, eking out the drama line ...

After the initial shock fades, the existence of CHRISTMAS IN THE HEART seems perhaps inevitable. After all, the thing Bob Dylan loves most of all are songs that are handed down from generation to generation, songs that are part of the American fabric, songs so common they never seem to have been written. These are the songs Dylan chooses to sing on CHRISTMAS IN THE HEART, a cheerfully old-fashioned holiday ...

Pink Martini Splendor In The Grass CD (2009) Digipak

50'S Rock N' Roll album

$13.39

Pink Martini follow the around-the-world-in-a-dozen-songs thrills of HEY EUGENE! with SPLENDOR IN THE GRASS, a mellower, simpler set of small pleasures. These are relative terms, however; the group's music is still well-traveled, with China Forbes singing in five languages (English, Spanish, Neapolitan, French, and Italian) instead of the six or so on EUGENE!. However, Pink Martini opt for a more unified sound here, one that draws on the more straightforward lounge-pop of their debut, SYMPATHIQUE, and the mellowness of '60s and '70s pop. SPLENDOR IN THE GRASS' first half is especially smooth, opening with the beautifully soft Neapolitan ballad "Ninna Nanna" and ...

Wayne Shorter Adam's Apple CD (1966) Bonus Track; Remastered

50'S Rock N' Roll songs

$8.85

Recorded on February 3 & 24, 1966. Includes liner notes by Don Heckman and Michael Cuscuna. For ADAM'S APPLE Wayne Shorter returned to the simple quartet format for the last time in his solo career. This date from 1966 shows the saxophonist firmly between his modal style of the early '60s and his more experimental avant-garde period that was to come with albums like SCHIZOPHRENIA and SUPER NOVA. The effect of Shorter's membership in Miles Davis' legendary group is evident, as his improvisations here are more adventurous and his rhythmic drive more pointed and angular than previous efforts. Above all, this session gives us one last look at Shorter at his most unveiled. The soulful opening title track is a direct precursor to the jazz-rock style that would dominate the jazz world in the late '60s and '70s. A more traditional feel is incorporated for the dark "502 Blues (Drinkin' and Drivin')," a beautiful showcase for Shorter's sensitive side. The bossa nova "El Gaucho" is a highlight and one the saxophonist's most overlooked compositions. Of special note, the classic "Footprints" is presented here for the first time, several months before it was recorded by the Davis group. The delicate ballad "Teru," the bouncing "Chief Crazy Horse" and the bonus swinger "The Collector" complete this must-have session. One often returns to classic recordings with mixed feelings. On one hand, there's the anticipation of hearing great music, and on the other, trepidation that the recording has failed to hold up over time. By 1966 Wayne Shorter had entered one of his most creative ...

Lost Cherrees In The Very Beginning CD (2006) (Import) United Kingdom

It took forever, but finally the Lost Cherees are getting their due, not only from the anarcho-punk community that has always held them close to its heart, but from the wider world as well. The revitalized band's activities naturally play a part in the resurgence, but still it's an unexpected thrill to find more-or-less the original band's entire output reissued across a two-CD set, sensibly divided between the familiar LP and single material (disc one), and a mass of demos ...

Crushed Butler Uncrushed CD (1998) (Import) Remastered; Digipak; United Kingdom

50'S Rock N' Roll CD music

$17.09
Hindsight is a beautiful and painful commodity, as this compilation should make clear enough. Uncrushed captures three young, hungry Londoners whose raw sound mesmerized their peers -- and blew away the day's biggest names -- yet failed to pry open those corporate portals. Yes, Crushed Butler fell short, because 1969's audiences didn't want anyone writing off their hippie dreams just yet. And as drummer Darryl Read once noted, nobody felt compelled to smash their instruments when the music spoke so ferociously for itself. Read's clattering snare on "It's My Life" is the perfect counterpoint for its up-the-system lyrics ("Workin' like a slave, workin' for you/Doin' somethin' I don't wanna do"). Pop stars or not, don't expect these guys to pump your gas! "My Son's Alive"'s explosive gallop is one of the missing links to thrash today, while "Love Fighter"'s grinding drone shows Crushed Butler realized intensity didn't come from tempo. Jesse Hector's guttural drawl makes the lyrics hard to decipher, but his shuddering guitar provides enough of a reference point. In fact, the band achieved its brightest moments amid trying circumstances -- as a session from winter 1970 proves. "Factory Grime" is the track to beat, banged out in one mind-melting take. However, the band only got to do it ...
