Originally released on Capitol. Includes liner notes by Chris Morris.

Digitally remastered by Larry Walsh (August 1990, Capitol Recording Studios).

Japanese edition includes two bonus tracks; original art featured on paper slipcase.

When The Band announced their retirement from touring, it was with the important addendum that they'd continue to record together. In actuality, the only album that subsequently emerged was ISLANDS, which also served to finish out the band's contract with Capitol Records. At the time of its release in 1977, it was received with some dismay by fans anxious for a repeat of the powerful NORTHERN LIGHTS SOUTHERN CROSS of two years previous. With the passing of time having removed the pressures of those expectations, ISLANDS can be heard as an album that, while fragmented, includes some fine gems. The musicianship throughout is never less than compelling. Richard Manuel's vocal on "Georgia On My Mind" is alone worth the price of admission--he sings it as if the thousand other classic versions never existed.

Limited Edition Japanese pressing of this album comes housed in a miniature LP sleeve and includes two bonus tracks. EMI. 2008.

Engineers include: Rob Fraboni, Nat Jeffreys, Neil Brody.

The Band: Richard Manuel, Rick Danko, Robbie Robertson, Garth Hudson, Levon Helm.

Additional personnel: Larry Packard (violin); Tom Malone, Jim Gordon, John Simon (horns).

Entertainment Weekly (5/25/01, p.81) - "...A collection of loose ends...containing patches of heartbreaking melancholy..." - Rating: B

The shows comprising LIVE! AT THE LONDON PALLADIUM were Marvin Gaye's first London concerts in a decade due to his fear of flying. This overseas layoff did nothing to douse Gaye's magical live presence as he performed a set of songs spanning his career. On LIVE! the debonaire singer charms the audience and peppers the early part of this set with some of his more sensual material including "Since I Had You," "Come Get To This" ...

"If It Makes You Happy" won a 1997 Grammy for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance. "Everyday Is A Winding Road" was nominated for a 1998 Grammy for Record Of The Year. Since crashing the gates with 1993's TUESDAY NIGHT MUSIC CLUB, Sheryl Crow's brand of melodic pop has won her some Grammys and kept her constantly on the road. On the followup album, the one-time background singer retains her sweet delivery laced with gruff edges, while painting her sunny sound with darker shadings. Quirky characters and situations continue to inhabit Crow's songs, whether it's holy rollers and government conspirators ("Maybe Angels") or a homeless evangelist proselytizing outside a supermarket ("Hard To Make A Stand"). While Crow could ...

Don Henley's first solo album may still have had the ghost of the Eagles lingering in the corners, but for the most part it showcases his stalwart partnership with producer and songwriter Danny Kortchmar. Lyrically, Henley's songs are a tad weak, but for an inaugural album from a man who had spent most of his career surrounded by multi-talented musicians and writers, on the whole it ...

Islands CD music
CD $6.75  4.8 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
Alan Parsons delivered a detailed blueprint for his Project on their 1975 debut, Tales of Mystery and Imagination, but it was on its 1977 follow-up, I Robot, that the outfit reached its true potential. Borrowing not just its title but concept from Isaac Asimov's classic sci-fi Robot trilogy, this album explores many of the philosophies regarding artificial intelligence -- will it overtake man, what does it mean to be man, what responsibilities do mechanical beings have to their creators, and so on and so forth -- with enough knotty intelligence to make it a seminal text of late-'70s geeks, and while it is also true that appreciating I Robot does require a love of either sci-fi or art rock, it is also true that sci-fi art rock never came any better than this. Compare it to Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds, released just a year after this and demonstrating some clear influence from Parsons: that flirts voraciously with camp, but this, for all of its pomp and circumstance, for all of its overblown arrangements, this is music that's played deadly serious. Even when the vocal choirs pile up at the end of "Breakdown" or when the Project delves into some tight, ...

Like those girls Cyndi Lauper sang about, the Warm Fuzzies just want to have fun.

Fueled by a mutual admiration of bands that played catchy pop songs with fuzzy guitars and analog synthesizers, Athens, GA-based singer/songwriter Jason Harwell and former Heros Severum drummer Davey Staton set out to use this combination as a template to create their own hybrid fuzzy pop songs. Throughout 2007, the two convened at Davey's house, each with scribbled papers strewn about and guitars in hand. "We had a pretty simple mantra: If it's not fun, don't do it," says Harwell of the writing process. "And that's what we did. Davey had written all this really catchy, upbeat music and given the tunes ridiculous titles, and we would then try to write ridiculous songs to fit those titles." In fairly short order, the boys wrote a cohesive batch of tunes about robots, eyewear, close-talkers, and pen-pals from Eastern Europe, among others. And on the next day, they rested. But on the next day, Staton and Harwell looked back at what they had written, and they saw that it was good. And having seen that it was good, the two decided they might like to hear these songs in stereo with a full band complement. Taking the logical next step, Harwell called his friend Paul Reeves in Atlanta to see if they might record some drums at his DOMUS studio. Reeves said, "Sure." Making quick work of the drums a few days later, Staton and Harwell continued to flesh out the recordings, tracking guitar, bass, and synth parts themselves. Says Harwell, "When I heard the synth parts that Davey had recorded, I was overwhelmed by the urge to play these songs live." Staton, a graphic designer by trade and clairvoyant by nature, had foreseen this development and had already enlisted his brother Jonathan to play the bass guitar. Over the summer of 2008, Harwell and the Brothers Staton began working through these songs for the first time as a band, rehearsing in the spare room over Davey's garage. It was loud, fuzzy, and in keeping with the theme, loads of fun. Still, something was missing. Remembering Staton's analog melodies on the recorded tracks, Harwell was dispatched to find a synth player to join the group. Stopping in to make some copies at a local copy shop located in downtown Athens, Harwell ran into his cousin, Laura Calvert, who rang up the sale. Realizing an opportunity when he saw one, Harwell seized the moment and asked Calvert if she would like to play synth in a fuzzy powerpop band. "Absolutely." said Calvert, "Your total comes to $15.

87. Will that be cash or credit?"Soon after Harwell paid for those copies, the band moved rehearsals into a new practice space near Athens' bustling downtown arts community. Inspired by the new surroundings and bolstered by Calvert's presence on the synthesizer, the Warm Fuzzies became a real band and prepped songs for the day they would get to share their ridiculous songs with the people. After all, the Warm Fuzzies were having fun, and they wanted others to have fun, too.

Realizing the people may actually have more fun if the band had a second guitar player, Harwell invited his friend Mattox Shuler to move his gear into the practice space and become the fifth Fuzzy. Fortunately, Shuler wasn't busy that afternoon with classes at UGA or ...
