Recorded live at Fillmore West, San Francisco, California on February 5 and 7, 1971. Originally released on Atlantic (7205). Includes liner notes by David Nathan.

When Aretha Franklin recorded 1971's LIVE AT FILLMORE WEST, she was backed by a group of veteran session musicians on a mix that included interpretations of popular songs and some of her trademark numbers. Franklin makes Stephen Stills' "Love The One You're With" her own with the help of Billy Preston's joyous organ work, while Bread's saccharine "Make It With You" is injected with a healthy shot of sexy sassiness.

Franklin's underrated piano playing and a healthy display of her gospel roots make FILLMORE a special recording in Lady Soul's vast canon. Franklin's skill on the eighty-eights particularly shines on her swinging treatment of the Beatles' "Eleanor Rigby" and the jubilant "Don't Play That Song." Franklin also plays electric piano on "Dr. Feelgood," and from this point on she turns Bill Graham's hall into a Baptist church. The call-and-response of her background singers and King Curtis' skillful band-leading/saxophone playing lead up to the high point where she brings Ray Charles out for the reprise of the testimonial "Spirit In The Dark" followed by the uplifting "Reach Out And Touch (Somebody's Hand)."

The Memphis Horns: Andrew Love, Lou Collins (tenor saxophones); Jimmy Mitchell (baritone saxophone); Wayne Jackson, Roger Hopps (trumpets); Jack Hale (trombone).

The Sweethearts Of Soul: Margaret Branch, Brenda Bryant, Pat Smith (background vocals).

Personnel: Aretha Franklin (vocals, electric piano); Ray Charles (vocals, electric piano); King Curtis (soprano & tenor saxophones); Billy Preston (organ).

The Kingpins: Cornell Dupree (guitar); Truman Thomas (electric piano); Jerry Jemmott (bass); Bernard Purdie (drums); Pancho Morales (congas).

Rolling Stone (7/22/71, p.36) - "...irresistible, simply because when Aretha's good, she's truly inspired..."
Uncut (p.120) - 3 stars out of 5 - "It all adds up to a rare historical document..."

Digitally remastered by Erick Labson (MCA Music Media Studios, North Hollywood, California). Often derided by cynics who see it as an ill-conceived attempt to update Muddy's sound, ELECTRIC MUD actually makes an odd kind of sense. In retrospect, its mating of Muddy's Chicago blues with a Cream-like, semi-psychedelic blues-rock sound merely places the blues godfather in amidst the world he helped inspire, if not create. Heavy blues-rock bands of the late '60s like Cream and Led Zeppelin would never have existed had Muddy not harnessed the power of electricity as a vehicle for his big-sounding blues in the '50s. ELECTRIC MUD is dominated by a fuzz guitar so unabashedly over-the-top it's downright ...

Live At The Fillmore West
CD $5.95  4.3 stars Audio Samples
"You Got Me Humpin'" combines a west coast groove, a Gap Band sample, and rhymes by LSD to get Howard off to a successful start. The hip-hop-styled "You Can Be My Nigga" unites Adina with Yo-Yo to deliver the message that women will do what they want, when they want to. Complementing its brief ghetto-driven interludes, many of the songs on DO YOU WANNA RIDE? flaunt a striking relation to the slow, plodding, hip-hop-drenched R&B popularized by R. Kelly--particularly "If We Make Love Tonight," which explores precisely this territory. Howard does momentarily stray from her overriding nasty girl image on the remake of the Rene' & Angela classic, ...

By 2004, Michael Jackson's bizarre image almost completely obscured the talent that had made him an international superstar. However, he became a musical icon by simply being the best at creating and performing pop songs. The opening moments alone of hits like "Rock with You" and "Billie Jean" would make them classic, but every aspect of these songs adds up to perfect radio pop. Jackson's THRILLER, after all, didn't simply luck into being the biggest-selling record of its time; each of its seven Top 10 hits had unique charms and drew from different elements of the pop universe. While there have been many previous Jackson hits collections, the four-CD/one-DVD ULTIMATE COLLECTION is just that--it represents Jackson's whole career, from his youthful days with the Jackson 5 to the early years of the 21st century. (The rare omissions--"Human Nature," "Heal the World"--show up live on ...
