Green Eggs & Ham/Yertle The Turtle & Other Stories
$9.79
By the late-'70s, Newman had begun to take the contributions of his L.A. session musician buddies a little too seriously, allowing their smooth sound to dominate his records instead of providing a foil to his unconventional compositions. Here and on subsequent albums, Newman's songs fight a tug-of-war with the arrangements. Fortunately, the songs on BORN AGAIN are strong enough to stand up to anything this side of Arif Mardin. Newman is in rare ironic form from the get-go, with the unapologetic capitalist anthem "It's Money That I Love." The ominous "Pretty Boy" unsentimentally examines xenophobia and bully psychology (and is the obvious role model for Dire Straits' "Money For Nothing." The anti-homophobe shaggy dog story of "Half a Man" harks back to Newman's GOOD OLD BOYS days. Song for song, BORN AGAIN is among the best of Newman's latter-day ...
| | Joe Jackson Big World CD (1986) (Import) Import; Reissued; United Kingdom
Green Eggs & Ham/Yertle The Turtle & Other Stories
$15.75 
Recorded live at the Roundabout Theatre, New York City on January 22-25, 1986.
On his previous couple of albums, Jackson had tried on various styles, inhabiting one or two for the length of a record, or at least for a few songs. On BIG WORLD, he brings all his influences together for a constantly shifting amalgam of textures and styles. After the relative excess of BODY AND SOUL, the band on BIG WORLD was scaled down to bass-guitar-drums and Joe, just like the old days. To underline the excitement generated by small-band interaction the album was recorded live to two-track.
BIG WORLD was initially released as a three-sided double LP, and the tracks touch on everything from Ennio Morricone spaghetti Western motifs ("Wild West") and tango ("Tango Atlantico") to Steely Dan-ish jazzy pop ("Soul Kiss") and dewy piano balladry ("Shanghai Sky"). Ultimately though, the emphasis is on the energetic, hooky pop/rock that is Jackson's strong suit. BIG WORLD also marks a return to the biting sarcasm and social commentary of his early albums, making it an appealing return to (lyrical) form.
Originally released in 1986, It contains all 15 tracks from the 60 minute release. A top ...
| | Randy Newman Sail Away CD (1972)
Green Eggs & Ham/Yertle The Turtle & Other Stories
$10.89   
Though 1968's RANDY NEWMAN introduced a major songwriting talent, and 1970's 12 SONGS still stands among the artist's best work, 1972'S SAIL AWAY has the strength and sophistication of an immediate, indisputable classic. Combining the lush orchestration of his debut with 12 SONG's lean, small-combo sound, SAIL AWAY marks Newman's prowess as a composer and arranger of the first order. His ear for melody, instrumentation, and the literary, often scathingly satiric nature of his lyrics are applied to perfection. The title track, a beautiful piano-strings duet sung from the point of view of a slave ship captain enticing Africans to America, is a case in point.
Every song on SAIL AWAY is memorable, from the tongue-in-cheek cabaret lament "Lonely At The Top" to the whimsical ragtime of "Simon Smith and the Amazing Dancing Bear" to the deliciously ironic and astute "Political Science." Newman can go from rock-inspired slink ("Last Night I Had A Dream") to charmingly lyrical ("Dayton, Ohio--1903) to fiercely caustic ("God's Song (That's Why I Love Mankind)"-- a song narrated from God's point of view about the stupidity of humanity), yet his writing is always infused with intelligence, wit, and piercing insight. That Newman's songcraft and musical textures are impeccable only adds to stature of this excellent record.

| | Kevin Lyttle CD (2004)
Green Eggs & Ham/Yertle The Turtle & Other Stories
$9.09
Caribbean music has always been interwoven with soul music. St. Thomas native Kevin Lyttle was raised with a love for both of these worlds separately, but he brings them together in a wholly unique way on his self-titled debut. Upon the album's 2004 release, the young singer--who possesses a malleable, organic, incredibly seductive tenor somewhere between Sean Paul and Roger Troutman--was already ruling the pop and R&B charts with the infectious dance jam "Turn Me On," a natural for summer radio with its chants, breakdowns, and relentless pulse.
Much of the remaining record captures the spirit of that hit, particularly the energetic "Last Drop" and "I Got It," both of which feature the growl of Spragga Benz. However, Lyttle proves he's truly at his best ...
