| | Carter The Unstoppable Sex... Straw Donkey: The Singles CD - Import Carter The Unstoppable Sex... Discography of CDs
Although it's a solid recapitulation, in order, of all of the singles Carter the Unstoppable Sex Machine released through 1995's Worry Bomb, there's something kind of unsatisfying about Straw Donkey. Part of it is that the duo's singles were not necessarily its best songs (although the group's two highest points, "Sheriff Fatman" and "The Only Living Boy in New Cross," are both duly accounted for), but the real reason is that the joy of Carter's albums is in their utter relentlessness. Listening to 1992: The Love Album or 101 Damnations is, in the best possible sense, a mildly exhausting adventure, like a drunken evening out with your best mate who declaims at the top of his lungs with a wicked sense of humor and a caustic eye for pretension and mendacity in popular culture. There are flashes of that same keen wit all over Straw Donkey, but the totality of the albums is missed. This is a useful intro for the newcomer, but fans might feel slightly disappointed. ~ Stewart Mason Straw Donkey: The Singles Music Carter The Unstoppable Sex...

Purchase Straw Donkey: The Singles CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Rosanne Cash List CD (2009)
Straw Donkey: The Singles album
 $14.45   
After the dark and chilling themes of 2006's BLACK CADILLAC, which saw Rosanne Cash dealing with the deaths of her mother, Vivian Liberto, her father, Johnny Cash, and her stepmother, June Carter Cash -- all of whom passed within a two-year span -- one might assume that her next project would move into an even deeper level of bleakness, but with THE LIST, it's immediately clear that she has instead found a more measured place to stand. It's a lovely and redemptive outing that looks back to go forward. When Cash turned 18, her father, alarmed that his daughter only knew the songs that were getting played on the radio, gave her a list of what he considered 100 essential American songs; Cash kept that list, and now she's drawn on it for this wonderfully nuanced outing that brims with a kind of redemptive timelessness. THE LIST is a renewal and a testament to life, and it belongs to her father as much as it belongs to her, a beautiful restatement of her father's passions, only now, they've become his daughter's treasures, as well. It's an affirming story, but that's all ...

| | Muse The Resistance CD (2009)
Straw Donkey: The Singles album
$15.65
With its titanic guitar solos, symphonic suites, and multi-layered melodies, Muse's fifth album operates under the assumption that bigger is better. This is the very definition of a super-sized album, an album that takes its cues from Queen, its lyrics from science fiction novels, and its delivery from rock opera. It's also the first time that Muse has truly sounded like Muse, as few bands since Queen have so readily explored the intersection of bombast and extravagance. THE RESISTANCE is most certainly extravagant -- there are snatches of classical piano entwined throughout, not to mention bilingual lyrics, concert hall percussion, coronet solos, and song titles like "Exogenesis: Symphony, Pt. 2 (Cross-Pollination)" -- but it's also quite beautiful, capable of ...
| | Rolling Stones Let It Bleed CD (1969)
Straw Donkey: The Singles CD music
$14.19
The last Stones studio album of the '60s finds the band, for perhaps the first time, accurately reflecting the spirit of its age. The erstwhile bad boy outsiders of rock now found themselves firmly in the center of the social and political post-'68 whirlwind, and faced up to the challenge magnificently. The band's confident climb to its artistic peak was begun by BEGGAR'S BANQUET, but LET IT BLEED is a quantum leap even from that musical milestone.
The album's opener, "Gimme Shelter," with its insinuating guitar introduction, leads us decisively out of Flower Power and into ...
