 (15 Customer Reviews)
A straightforward collection of cover songs (most of which date from the 1990s), COVERING THE BASES doesn't break any new ground and isn't trying to. It's merely Arroyo, a talented guitarist with a gravelly voice perfectly suited to the music, ... Full Descriptionsinging some of his favorite tunes, and pouring his soul in every one. He even occasionally inserts his own little touches, accentuating the demented voices in the breakdown of the Foo Fighters' "Everlong" (with help from writer Stephen King) , or adding his own elegant coda to Pearl Jam's "Black." Arroyo closes the record on a note that should please Sox fans--joined by fellow Soxer Johnny Damon and others, he affectionately belts out "Dirty Water," a team theme.
Just shy of a year after the Boston Red Sox won the World Series in 2004 (their first taste of that glory in nearly a century), Red Sox pitcher Bronson Arroyo furthered the most storied rivalry in sports history. Arroyo followed New York Yankees centerfielder and fellow guitar player Bernie Williams's Verve debut THE JOURNEY WITHIN with his own album, COVERING THE BASES. The releases befit the personalities of the two teams: where Williams's was a sober, serious jazz affair, Arroyo's spills out loosely, like the Sox sometimes do to the bars outside Fenway Park for a post-game celebration.
Personnel include: Bronson Arroyo (vocals); Amy Keys (vocals); Tim Pierce (acoustic guitar); Michael Landau (electric guitar); John "J.T." Thomas (Hammond b-3 organ); Leland Sklar, Mike Inez (bass guitar); Kenny Aronoff (drums); David Isaacs, Lenny Dinardo, Johnny Damon, Kevin Youkilis (background vocals).

Covering The Bases Music Review Average Rating: (3.9 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews A Red Sox fan must!
Bronson Arroyo can sing! This is a great cd for Sox fans - they can't trade him now....
Although I didn't care for some of the cuts, I found enough to enjoy - I especially liked "Dirty Water" - the voices of Kevin Youkilis, Johnny Damon, etc. was a nice touch.

This CD is great. Not only a talented pitcher, but an unbelievable singer. I saw him play at the Hot Stove Cool Music concert this year, and was very impressed. Had to hear the CD & was pleased. Love Vertical Horizons Best I ever had. Love Bronson's even more.

 Bad CD
Attempt to make money off good songs from the 90's. Bronson does not do the songs justice with his unoriginal covers. I would return the CD but I already broke it in anger.

Purchase Covering The Bases CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Michael Jackson History: Past, Present And Future Book 1 CDs (1995)
Covering The Bases album
 $23.79   
HISTORY BOOK 1 contains one disc of Jackson's greatest hits and one disc of all-new songs. It features a 52-page booklet with liner notes by Janet Jackson, Steven Spielberg, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and Elizabeth Taylor, as well as many never-before-seen photographs.
HISTORY BOOK 1 was nominated for a 1996 Grammy Award for Album Of The Year. "You Are Not Alone" was nominated for Grammy Awards for Song Of The Year and Best Male Pop Vocal Performance, and the Michael Jackson-Janet Jackson duet "Scream" was nominated for Best Pop Collaboration With Vocals.
Michael Jackson's monumental collection HISTORY BOOK 1 seeks to make two points. The first disc--chock full of hits spanning Jackson's Epic Records solo career--tries to establish how the so-called King of Pop earned that nickname in the first place; the second disc, featuring fifteen new, star-studded tracks, makes a case for him holding onto that royal moniker well into the next century. And though many may dismiss both directives as the product of Jackson camp hype, once the music begins it's hard to deny him any title he wishes to bestow upon himself.
All of the songs on HISTORY's first disc have already been ingrained in the minds of the radio-listening, MTV-watching public. From the funky disco of 1979's "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough," through the countless and diverse THRILLER hits ("Billie Jean," "The Girl Is Mine," etc.), to the anthemic peace-in-our-time ballad "Heal The World," Jackson's star-power-fueled singles invested the mainstream ...

$11.49
Black Eyed Peas, the hip-hop crossover juggernaut that propelled singer Fergie and producer Will.I.Am to superstardom, have, since 2003's ELEPHUNK, been audaciously plugging away at their bombastic but lighthearted style of rap-cum-dance pop--an effort that has translated to a run of successful chart-topping singles including "My Humps," "Pump It," and "Don't Phunk with My Heart." Eager to follow up on the platinum-selling success of 2005's MONKEY BUSINESS, Black Eyed Peas have returned with THE E.N.D. (an acronym for "Energy Never Dies"), their third studio effort. Combining Will.I.Am's ...

$8.49
It is impossible to overrate Otis Redding. This Rhino compilation, while in no way comprehensive, is nonetheless an outstanding sampler of songs by one of soul music's all-time titans. There's not a dud among these 16 songs, and some, like "These Arms Of Mine," "(Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay," and "Try A Little Tenderness," rank among the greatest pop songs ever recorded.

Fourteen years separate 2009's THE VERY BEST OF DON HENLEY and Henley's first compilation ACTUAL MILES: HENLEY'S GREATEST HITS. During that near decade-and-a-half, Henley only released one new album, 2000's INSIDE JOB, a record that generated a couple of minor hit singles highlighted by "Taking You Home," which reached number 58 on Billboard's Hot 100 and number twelve on the magazine's Adult Top 40 chart. This means that this 2009 compilation ...
