Purchase Solo To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Allman Brothers Band Dreams CDs (1989) Box Set
Solo
 $38.09   
DREAMS is a 4-CD box set compiling in chronological order tracks by the Allman Brothers Band, as well as tracks by bands featuring one or more member of the Allman Brothers Band and solo performances by Gregg Allman and Dickey Betts.
Recorded between 1966 & 1988. Includes a 32-page illustrated booklet and liner notes by John Swenson.
Like nearly all box sets, DREAMS has plenty to recommend it-and a few nagging drawbacks. The set's chief shortcoming is its two conflicting goals: providing an overview of the Allmans' history, thus attracting buyers seeking the ultimate hits package, and including enough unreleased tracks and rarities to appeal to the band's most devoted fans. As a result, DREAMS is neither the definitive Allman Brothers collection nor the gift to hardcore fans that, say, THE BOOTLEG SERIES is to Dylan-philes.
DREAMS' strengths are considerable. First and foremost, the box contains nearly five wall-to-wall hours of great music. By including everything from early demos to Gregg Allman and Dickie Betts' solo material, DREAMS does a great job of tracing the group's musical evolution from hippie blues band to kings of Southern rock. And, while the unreleased studio version of "Statesboro Blues" included here isn't definitive, it's still mighty good-as are the set's other rarities. Start your Allman Brothers collection with THE FILLMORE CONCERTS; if that grabs you, DREAMS should also find a welcome place on your CD shelf.
Personnel includes: Gregg Allman, Dickey Betts (vocals, guitar); Duane Allman (guitar, dobro, background vocals); Paul Hornsby, Scott Boyer, Elvin Bishop, Tommy Talton, Steve Beckmeier, Rickey Hirsch, John Hug, Dan Toler (guitar); John Hughley (steel guitar); Tom Doucette (harmonica); Steve Madaio, Pat Rizzo, Dave ...
| | Poco Forgotten Trail (1969-1974) CDs (1990)
Solo
$15.99 
This compilation contains 38 songs, including many new remixes from original master tapes, 6 previously unreleased songs, alternate versions of 3 others, and a comprehensive 36 page booklet, with historic liner notes and photos.
This excellent two-disc collection captures Poco's finest moments from the days when they were laying down the template for all the country-rock music that was to follow. It's hard to remember, but when the Eagles first hit the scene, they were thought by many to be a Poco-wannabe band. Listen to this set and you'll hear why. The Forgotten Trail (1969-1974) culls tracks from Poco's first eight albums, as well as unreleased cuts and singles. From the classic anthem "Pickin' Up the Pieces," which kicks things off, through "You Better Think Twice," "C'mon," "Kind Woman," "From the Inside," "A Good Feelin' to Know," "Crazy Eyes," and on and on, this is wonderful music, ahead of its time in many ways. If Poco had arrived on the scene in the early '90s, they would have been kings of the country charts. Of course, without Poco, country music wouldn't have taken on the rock trappings that it did in the '80s and '90s. As it was, the band was considered too country for the Top 40 rock format of the time, and too rock & roll for country radio. This set is the place to start for an appreciation of the original Poco, when the group was considered to be Richie Furay's band. All the ingredients are here that made their music so delightful: the trademark high-vocal harmonies; Rusty Young's pedal steel guitar wizardry; Furay's patented juxtapositions of sad lyrics against bouncy, harmony-filled tunes; and their spirit of optimism and good feelings even in the face of hard luck and bad weather. The 36-page booklet does a fine job of telling the story in print, and the 38 songs speak volumes about the band's place and influence. Thanks to this compilation, Poco's trailblazing days need be forgotten no longer. ~ Jim Newsom

| | Santana Illuminations CD (1974)
Solo
$9.39
For his third duet album, Carlos Santana performed the works of John Coltrane, paired with Coltrane's widow, harpist/keyboardist Alice Coltrane, on this instrumental album. Side One includes several contemplative, string-filled numbers, while Side Two presents Santana's re-creation of John Coltrane's late free jazz style in "Angel of Sunlight." Columbia Records could not have been pleased at Santana's determined drift into esoteric jazz: Illuminations was the first of the nine Santana-related albums so far released in the U.S. not to go gold. ~ William Ruhlmann
Carlos' 1974 album for the Columbia label, a collaborationwith Alice Coltrane. Five tracks, including 'Guru SriChinmoy Aphorism' and 'Angel Of Air/ Angel Of Water'.
Carlos Santana's 1974 album ILLUMINATIONS is a collaboration with jazz pianist Alice Coltrane. Its five tracks include "Bliss: The Eternal Now", written by Coltrane, as well as "Angel of Sunlight" and "Guru Sri Chimnoy Aphorism".

| | Doors Legacy: The Absolute Best CDs (1967)
Solo
$19.79
Recorded between 1967 & 1983. Includes liner notes by Jim Ladd.
Released to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the release of the first Doors album, THE VERY BEST OF THE DOORS supercedes all former Doors compilations. At two discs and 34 tracks, this is quite comprehensive for a band whose key lineup released only half a dozen albums. In addition to all the expected hits like "Light My Fire," "Hello I Love You," and "Roadhouse Blues," this compilation delves much deeper into the catalogue with fan favorites such as "Not To Touch the Earth" and "Wishful Sinful," as well as a handful of previously obscure rarities. Remastered and newly remixed by original engineer Bruce Botnick and the surviving members of the Doors, THE VERY BEST OF THE DOORS is a solid tribute to the band.
The first Doors album was an important development in the evolution of rock, representing the dark underbelly of the '60s counterculture, the Jekyll to the Beatles/Beach Boys' Hyde. The Doors were the antithesis of windblown Californian pop. Dark, brooding and alienated, every element of the quartet's metier was unveiled on their debut album. In Jim Morrison they posessed one of rock's authoritative voices, while the group's dense instrumental prowess reflected his lyrical mystery. Highly literate, they wedded Oedipian tragedy with counter-culture nihlism and, in "Light My Fire", expressed exotic images previously unheard in pop. How
Packed with over 2 1/2 hours of groundbreaking and career-spanning cuts, all remastered for stellar sound. Features the previously unreleased studio version of 'Celebration Of The Lizard'. Slipcase. Elektra/Rhino. 2003.
Includes liner notes by Danny Sugarman.
Digitally remastered by Bruce Botnick.

VolumeIII deals with [I]Gods and human in National Shinto religion, [II]Manyoshu,the National Collection of the Ancient poems ( the 7th and 8th Century ), [III]The super natural tale,Kaguya Hime-the oldest non-mythological story in Japan, and [IV]the National music/song concerning Sakura ( cherry blossoms ). Kojiki and Nippon Shoki are full of mythological accounts on the origin of Japan and the god family of Japanese Emperors. Track[1-3]were originally composed for the episodes concerning Amateras, the greatest goddess who hided into the cave with her anguish.[4]is the prayer of the female servant to gods to help her husband. With these music you can distinguish human emotions from those of godds. Among [4]-[8],[7-8] are for Chooka(long poem)of Kakinomoto Hitomaro who was enshrined as the god resonsible for poems. When I plot the operatic music for Kaguya Hime, I asigned these two groups of music, the godds and human, to the Emperor of the Moon and the Emperor of the Earth, respectively. Then I named the story Manyo Kaguya Hime. I assumed that the Earth Emperor was Emperor Monmu. Manyo Kaguya Hime,[1]-[22]takes 46:23 play time. Sakura Sakura is sang in many musical events in every spring in Japan. I composed the prototype music for this National Air and I named it Spring for Goze( Female blind musical entertainer who performs on street in the Middle Period in Japan). I further composed its Variaions to present as Piano Trio[23-29](23:17). I often call this Trio Prelude ...
