The title tune became the anthem of Senegalese youth in 1990. This is the first album N'Dour hasn't re-recorded for the international market. It's very African and his best recorded work to date. ~ J. PoetSpin (12/90) - "..his stunning, expressive, and passionate voice.. rightly continues to be the focal point of his music.."
Entertainment Weekly - "...some of the canniest, most gripping music of the year." Ranked as the #3 Album of 1990.
Q (2/91) - Recommended as one of the five best world music albums of 1990. "Exhilarating."
Q - 4 Stars - Excellent "...reaches to the heart."
Village Voice - "...everything is beautiful..." - Rating: A-
Stereo Review (1/91) - Peformance "Explosive" / Recording "Very good" - "...packs a transcultural wallop. He remains true to the pop style of his native Senegal, rich with rhythm upon rhythm and delicate interweaving melodies, but he also explodes with the kind of kinetic power we expect from rock-and-roll...maybe someone should create a Nobel Prize for music and give it to N'Dour."
Audio Magazine (1/91) - Sound A / Performance A "N'Dour's expressive tenor soars over songs."
New York Times (Publisher) (12/30/90) - Rated #3 of the Top 10 Recordings for 1990 Set Review

While the Gun Club's debut, FIRE OF LOVE, was a masterpiece of untamed punk blues, follow-up album MIAMI, produced by Blondie's Chris Stein, achieves a fuller sound and a more varied stylistic palette without sacrificing any of its predecessor's intensity. The revved-up blues of yore are still here ("Devil in the Woods," "Fire of Love"), but wild-child singer Jeffrey Lee Pierce and company also tackle everything from Creedence Clearwater Revival's "Run Through the Jungle" ...

| | You Came A Long Way From St. Louis: The Many Sides Of Chuck Berry CDs (2006)
Set
$13.95
The Universal U.K. 2006 double-disc set You Came a Long Way from St. Louis was designed as a companion piece to their 2006 comp Reelin' and Rockin': The Very Best of Chuck Berry, an excellent 56-track roundup of the Berry basics. Where that offered up the hits, this 31-track set digs much deeper, culling album tracks and singles that aren't often acknowledged as part of the canon, including many songs that haven't been in circulation on CD. There are a couple of ringers -- the original single of "Reelin' and Rockin'" is here because the previous collection had the live version; a few songs, like "Sweet Little Rock & Roller," "It's My Own Business," and "Thirteen Question Method," are too well circulated to be called offbeat -- but for the most part this is prime obscure Chuck Berry, and it's tremendous. What impresses is the range in the music and the depth in the writing, two things that are evident in his greatest hits but easier to appreciate here, when the songs are largely not as well-known and sharply presented. This doesn't follow a strict chronological order and that's a blessing, as the mix and match between different eras of his classic Chess recordings provide a greater idea of the scope of his music -- or how it's put in the subtitle: The Many Sides of Chuck Berry. Of course, there's plenty of high-octane rock & roll here -- songs that have been covered by other rockers, like "It's My Own Business"; "It Wasn't Me," which Chuck covered later himself; "Big Ben," a tremendous spin on "School Days" concerning a too-loud alarm clock; and "My Mustang Ford," one of his classic car tunes -- but this also emphasizes his blues roots, evident in both the slow-burning "I've Changed" and the Nat King Cole shuffle of "Route 66." These, of course, are expected -- rock & roll and blues can be heard on all the Berry compilations -- but what's unexpected is the jazzy groove of "Right Off Rampart Street," the Hawaiian blues instrumental "Mad Lad," the mellow hipster rap of "A Deuce," the campy stuttering "Broken Arrow" (reminiscent of an early-'60s Bo Diddley cut), the sly shuffle of ...
