Paul Butterfield Blues Band CD (1965)

Blind Melon

$6.19

Live Recording Personnel: Paul Butterfield (vocals, harmonica); Sam Lay (vocals, drums); Elvin Bishop (guitar); Mike Bloomfield (slide guitar); Jerome Arnold (bass); Mark Naftalin (organ).
Includes liner notes by Pete Welding.
The Paul Butterfield Blues Band: Michael Bloomfield.
Even after his death, Paul Butterfield's music didn't receive the accolades that were so deserved. Outputting styles adopted from Howlin' Wolf and Muddy Waters among other blues greats, Butterfield became one of the first white singers to rekindle blues music through the course of the mid-'60s. His debut album, The Paul Butterfield Blues Band, saw him teaming up with guitarists Elvin Bishop and Mike Bloomfield, with Jerome Arnold on bass, Sam Lay on drums, and Mark Naftalin playing organ. The result was a wonderfully messy and boisterous display of American-styled blues, with intensity and pure passion derived from every bent note. In front of all these instruments is Butterfield's harmonica, beautifully dictating a mood and a genuine feel that is no longer existent, even in today's blues music. Each song captures the essence of Chicago blues in a different way, from the back-alley feel of "Born in Chicago" to the melting ease of Willie Dixon's "Mellow Down Easy" to the authentic devotion that emanates from Bishop and Butterfield's "Our Love ...

Blind Melon Soup CD (1995)

Blind Melon

$11.69

Blind Melon: Shannon Hoon (vocals); Christopher Thorn, Rogers Stevens (guitar); Brad Smith (bass, background vocals); Glen Graham (drums, percussion).
Additional personnel: Jena Kraus (vocals); Miles Tackett (cello); Kermit Ruffins, The Little Rascals Brass Band (horns); Stephen Moses (trombone); Mike Kelsey.
Recorded at Kingsway Studios and Ultrasonic Studios, New Orleans, Louisiana from November 1994 to January 1995.
All songs written by Blind Melon except "Car Seat (God's Presents)" (Blind Melon/Blanche Bridge).
From the onset, Blind Melon eluded simple musical categorization. They weren't grunge moaners, or alternative posers, or nouveau hippies--just five guys who took a classic FM sound and molded it to their own requirements. So when "No Rain" began climbing the charts, it was hard not to cheer on their progress through the sea of plaid-shirt mediocrity. On SOUP, Blind Melon throw the last of their caution to the wind, weaving a quilt of familiar classic-rock colors out of the kind of threads that hadn't been seen in these parts since the AOR heyday of the mid-'70s.
Opening (and closing) the album to the strains of a New Orleans brass band is an announcement that, as far as instrumentation goes, all bets are off. In this, SOUP evokes such '70s progressives as Led Zeppelin ...

VH1 Presents The Corrs Live In Dublin CD (2002)

Blind Melon

$6.39

The Corrs: Jim Corr (vocals, guitar, keyboards); Sharon Corr (vocals, violin); Andrea Corr (vocals, tin whistle); Caroline Corr (vocals, drums, bodhran, percussion).
Recorded at Ardmore Studios in Dublin, Ireland in January 2002.
You knew the Corrs had made it when they played the final JFK Awards ceremony of the Clinton administration. Playing it would have been achievement enough, but their status as a happening thing was cemented at the end of the ceremony, during the encores, when everybody was taking their final bows. Bill moseyed up over to Andrea, put his arm around her, and when she was looking away, sized her up -- at precisely the same moment Chuck Berry was checking her out. If that doesn't mean that you've broken America, entering its pop culture, I don't know what does, expect for maybe a VH1-endorsed piece of product like Live in Dublin. Lo and behold, that's exactly what the Corrs received in the spring of 2002, a year and a half after "In Blue" and its accompanying single "Breathless" broke down the doors in America for the U.S. Only two songs on this set list are shared with In Blue, but that doesn't mean that the group returns to their slightly more traditional Celtic roots on the remainder of the songs. Sure, there are hints of that, but there are also four pop covers, two of them ("Little Wing" and "Ruby Tuesday") featuring Ron Wood, with another song, the Lee Hazelwood/Nancy Sinatra duet "Summer Wine," featuring Bono. Some of this is not unfamiliar to ...

A sprawling two-disc set, the Drive-By Truckers' SOUTHERN ROCK OPERA is a cracked masterpiece that's enjoyable on several different levels. Hipsters might enjoy the giggly premise of a two-disc set devoted to a slightly altered retelling of the rise and fall of 1970s Southern rock icons Lynyrd Skynyrd. Progressive rock fans lamenting the modern era's relative lack of story-driven albums divided into "Act I" and "Act II" will latch onto SOUTHERN ROCK OPERA with the same passion with which they embraced THE LAMB LIES DOWN ON BROADWAY. And most importantly, unreconstructed Southern rockers of the boogie-and-beer variety will appreciate the fact that this is an unapologetic, non-ironic valentine to the sound of not only Skynyrd, but the Allman Brothers, the Marshall Tucker Band, and the modern-day jam bands that are their musical descendents. Funny and surprisingly sad, passionate ...

Dredg Catch Without Arms CD (2005)

Blind Melon

$8.49

Personnel: Nathan Calvin (vocals).
Audio Mixer: Terry Date.
Recording information: Studio Litho, Seattle, WA.
Editor: Ingrid Erickson.
Arranger: Chris DeGarmo.
It makes sense that Terry Date produced Catch Without Arms, Dredg's second record for Interscope. The producer is a veteran of Deftones albums, and it's that band's rich but still rocking palette that's the intent here. And they succeed. Like past Dredg releases Catch has a conceptual flow. But openers "Ode to the Sun" and "Bug Eyes" focus the grandeur and meandering pace of the band's past work around effective melodies and a steadiness in the rhythm. The choruses emphasize the Bono/Chino Moreno in Gavin Hayes' vocal, and when the rhythm drops out for a contemplative piano moment, nothing feels forced because this is what Dredg has been working toward for years. It's not like in the blurry emo world, where string sections crash regularly into soliloquies and it usually just ends up as melodrama. Catch Without Arms looks to groups like Deftones and At the Drive-In, but there's also a tremendous capacity in Dredg for straightforward pop. The title track is a standout, as is "Zebraskin," which with its keyboards and silky beat could be Cousteau or Sweetback. No kidding. And then the churning guitar intro of "Tanbark Is Hot Lava" drops, and you're bewildered again. "Sang Real" features drum processing ...

McGuire Sisters Greatest Hits CD (1990)

Blind Melon

$6.89

Liner Note Authors: Ruth Robinson; Milt Gabler; Neal Hefti; Steve Allen.
Recording information: 04/29/1954-10/11/1960.
There are more complete compilations of the McGuire Sisters' music, but this 12-song, 32-minute compilation, which covers six years in their history from 1954 through 1960, is as simple and charming a body of work as you can find for the price. Perhaps it's the purity of their voices and the arrangements behind them that make this one of the few MCA CDs of the 1980s, apart from a couple of blues titles, with sound quality that still holds up at the dawn of the 21st century. It's also a good representation of the pop side of 1950s music, which isn't spoken of very often. While one would like to dismiss the McGuire Sisters as creators of pop product, they were actually extraordinary musicians, as proven here. True, "Sugartime," "Something's Gotta Give," and "He" were far from rock 'n roll. And while their version of "Sincerely" (an R&B hit by the Moonglows authored by Moonglows leader/founder Harvey Fuqua) was a world away from R&B, no one can complain about its craftsmanship or the radiance of the trio's singing. (This rendition of "Sincerely," and not the Moonglows' version, was the one that your parents or grandparents likely knew.) The McGuire Sisters' soaring vocals, like a fuller and more ...

Town & Country It All Has To Do With It CD (2000)

Audio Mixer: Casey Rice.
Recording information: Soma Electronic Music Studio (04/2000).
Photographer: Jim Dorling.
The third release from Chicago's Town & Country continues the band's tradition of acoustic experiments with subtle textures and quiet sounds. At times having a similar feel to the more acoustic guitar-tinged work of Joan of Arc, It All Has to Do With It never jumps out at the listener. Instead, the music creeps around, and hard-to-find rhythms provided by two standup basses continuously swell and relax with the interplay of piano, guitar, bells, and even accordion. Town & Country has no real rhythm section, a factor that contributes a strangely freeform aspect to all of the compositions. Nonetheless, the four tracks on this record somehow manage to fill up 40 minutes of disc space, a concept that is difficult to understand or to consider tolerating upon first ...

Rainer Live At The Performance Centre CD (2001) (Import) Import; United Kingdom

Blind Melon

$24.95
The second in a series of three previously unreleased albums by the late Dobro genius Rainer Ptacek. Tracks include, 'Improv In E', 'Sometimes It's Hard', 'Round And Round', 'Powder Keg', 'My Honey', 'Inner Flame' and 'Di Lantin'. Standard jewelcase. 2001 release. Recording information: 06/06/1997.
Although released posthumously, Live at the Performance Center is an ideal starting point to experience Rainer Ptacek's rather astounding use of both the dobro and steel guitar in the blues medium. In retrospect, this particular gig from June of 1997, recorded in his hometown of Tucson, is a decidedly bittersweet affair. Despite the excellent playing and the fact that Ptacek was in full remission from brain cancer at the time, the disease would ultimately take his life only five months later. Ptacek's diversity was on full display that night, with songs ranging from the upbeat picking of "Sometimes It's Hard" and "Inner Flame" to the more traditionally oriented "Lament of Love" and "Rude World." The guitarist sang on most of the tracks as well, and many of the lyrics, such as those for "The Mountain," ...
