| | Smokey Robinson Solo Anthology CD Smokey Robinson Discography of CDs
(2 Customer Reviews)
Although Smokey Robinson was clearly at the top of his game when he was with the Miracles, and one could make an outstanding anthology simply of songs he wrote and produced for other artists in the '60s -- his solo career in the '70s and '80s was also fairly impressive. THE SOLO ANTHOLOGY, a double-disc compilation stuffed with 32 tracks of unceasing quality, is a perfect overview of an often underrated era of Robinson's career. Although all of Robinson's 10 solo hit singles, from 1974's "Baby Come Close" to 1987's "One Heartbeat," are present and accounted for, the collection also dips further into his career for gems like his funky duet with Rick James, "Ebony Eyes." Gorgeous ballads like "Cruisin'" and the slinky "Being With You" still sound terrific decades later, as does his career high point "Quiet Storm," possibly the only song to get an entire subgenre of music (bedroom-eyed R&B love jams of the '80s) named after it. A good Miracles anthology is essential, of course, but THE SOLO ANTHOLOGY is equally necessary.

| | Doors Soft Parade CD (1969) Gold; Remastered
Solo Anthology
$16.02 Dismissed by the benighted as the Doors' "pop album," SOFT PARADE is one of the band's most adventurous recordings, utilizing strings and horns without resorting to schlocky over-production and moving far beyond their blues roots. Morrison was fully into his shaman phase by 1969, and his obsession with that image is reflected in the proselytizing air of "Tell All the People," and of course "Shaman's Blues." The album's biggest hit "Touch Me," while easily the group's most radio-friendly offering, is a pop classic that ranks among the great '60s AM radio tunes. "Wild Child" is a brief return to the blues-rock of yore, but the title track is a sophisticated, extended piece that moves through several different moods and textures, full of the elliptical, poetic lyrics that were Morrison's trademark.
Recorded at Elektra Sound Recorders, Los Angeles, California.

| | Greg O'Quin Cliches CD (2001)
Solo Anthology
$17.75 Award winning and two time Dove and Stellar Award nominated artist, composer, producer and choir director, Greg O'Quin, makes a triumphant return with the release of Clichés. Clichés is the first project since the release of Greg's phenomenal project, Conversation, which contained the anthem "I Told the Storm." Now Greg O'Quin 'N Noyze has joined the World Wide Gospel family to impact the Gospel music scene with a new praise. Clichés promises to be one of the most talked about project of the years because of its perfect mixture of contemporary, urban and traditional tracks along with its comedic interludes. The first single, "It Don't Make No Sense" is slammin'! The beats, the music and the lyrics will get you dancing in the pews. But the praise party doesn't stop there! There's even more hip-hop beat intensive tracks such as "Bounce" and "Understand". For the traditional ear, Cliché features Greg's own quiet storm; a collection of slow ballads and anthems that will lift your hands in total praise. Traditional tracks include "Awesome", "Unh Unh", "Singin' in the Rain" and yes, a remix of "I Told The Storm". One of the most compelling and soul stirring tracks is Greg's own testimony, ...
