This collection contains material from Canadian prog rockers Saga, including "Wind Him Up" and "Flyer."
In the wake of Rush's commercial success, suddenly quite a few Canadian prog rock acts began appearing on the scene, for instance Triumph, FM, Max Webster, and Saga. The latter group is best known in the U.S. for scoring a sizeable hit during the early days of MTV, "On the Loose," but the group issued many an album over the ensuing years, and the 2004 compilation The Very Best of Saga manages to collect most of their career highlights. While their big brothers Rush began "prog" then later embraced melody, it appears as though Saga was pop-minded all along. Picture a cross between synth pop-sters the Buggles and early-'80s-era Rush, ...

The challenge for any smooth jazz artist over time is appeasing longtime fans with certain stylistic similarities, yet searching for ways to keep things unique and distinctive with each successive album. Guitarists Nick Webb and Greg Carmichael (the principals in Acoustic Alchemy) kept the reference point of their steel and nylon string chemistry intact while always venturing the new agey jazz trappings they became accustomed to. Their fifth album features sojourns into reggae, flamenco, blues, country-rock, samba, and jazz improvisation, adding up to their most styistically diverse outing up till that time. While never straying too far from the basically mellow and melodic strains that have attracted a sizeable following, Webb and Carmichael show more of their influences than ever before; Webb wrote the ...
| | Social Distortion Somewhere Between Heaven And Hell CD (1992) Bonus Tracks
Nightmare Story songs
$25.59
HEAVEN AND HELL is Social Distortion's finest hour, the crystallization of all the elements that made it a great band. The country and rockabilly influences cultivated on previous albums are fully integrated here, so that Jimmy Work's country classic "Making Believe" sounds perfectly at home amid Mike Ness's own compositions. It's often hard to tell whether the band is punking up covers of old country and rockabilly tunes or incorporating those influences into its own songs, and that's the telling mark of assimilation. Ness's songwriting is at its sharpest and most memorable here. The powerful guitar assault achieves a newfound clarity here, which made it possible for the most melodic offerings on HEAVEN AND HELL ("Bad Luck") to achieve heavy radio play and raise the group to a new level of popularity.
Social Distortion finally achieves the perfect balance between their two major influences, the country anguish of Johnny Cash and the furious punk rock sound of early Clash, on their 1992 album Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell, making it the band's finest hour. The band tears through a fair share of rollicking, straight-ahead hard rock with songs like "Cold Feelings" and "When She Begins," but they also show a reflective, heartfelt, country-inspired side with songs like "This Time Darlin'" and the hard rock tribute to "Folsom Prison Blues," the cold blooded, murderous tale "99 to Life." At times the band slows down the pace a bit more than on earlier albums, but the band hasn't lost any of the edge or attitude they had as the brash young punks who recorded Mommy's Little Monster. Social Distortion classics "Bad Luck" and "Born to Lose" find a more mature Mike Ness still continuing to play the familiar role of the steadfast underdog with better results than in previous efforts. This album had all the earmarks ...
| | Rock vs. Rap CD (2004)
Nightmare Story album
$13.69
The men behind most of the tracks on this faux mash-up of rap and rock are the nearly forgotten rapper Mellow Man Ace and guitarist Lanny Cordola, who not only appeared on Dave Coulier's Songs in the Key of Beaver but also the Cleopatra compilations A Tribute to Garth Brooks and The Complete Tribute to Garth Brooks. A real "mash-up" would mean original tracks are mixed together, but almost everything on Rock vs. Rap is re-recorded. The highlight for sure has to be the original team-up version of "Bring the Noise" by Anthrax and Public Enemy, but some of Cordola and Mellow Man Ace's productions are worth checking out. KRS-One's "The Devil's Crown" is actually his "Ah Yeah" with a new rocking backing track that improves on the original. Kottonmouth Kings' good buddy Big B delivers "Hey Joe" in a pleasing and lazy Sublime style, and D. Brown's rap over Cordola's take on Alice Cooper's "I'm Eighteen" is a winning combination. Too bad the limp version of Ratt's "Round & Round" from Stephen Pearcy and KRS-One (who was signed to Cleopatra, meaning he's doomed to keep turning up on their compilations) is one of the best examples how "mash-ups" should be left to irreverent bootleggers and not hair metal hangers-on. Worse yet, the lyrics to the Sex Pistols' "God Save the Queen" get "updated" to "Everybody dies alone/So get stoned!" Cordola can certainly shred on guitar but too much of the album is a loud and rebellious mess with too much swagger and no soul. ~ David Jeffries
