Strong Arm Steady: The Collectors Edition Vol. 1
 $14.45  
On his 2005 release, AGAINST THE GRAIN, Kurupt announces his return with the powerful track "I'm Back." Not only had he reappeared after a four-year absence, but the one-time Dogg Pound member was back on the Death Row imprint he fled nearly a decade earlier. Despite the respite, Kurupt's manner has not changed a speck nor have his skills ...
| | Devin To Tha X-Treme CD (2004)
Strong Arm Steady: The Collectors Edition Vol. 1
$14.29 
Making good on the "dude" part of his name, the good-natured rapper Devin the Dude eases through a fun and relaxed set of songs on TO THA X-TREME. A laid-back vibe (at least partially due to some serious smoke inhalation) pervades the album, making it a welcome change of pace from more gruff, heavier hip-hop. Devin hilariously introduces the disc on "Devin's Medley," and then slides into the smooth, electronic-tinged title track. Other highlights include the dreamy "Right Now," which boasts a gentle acoustic guitar line and light percussion, ...

| | Geto Boys Foundation CD (2005)
Strong Arm Steady: The Collectors Edition Vol. 1
$15.05 
Part of the threesome's genius lies in the ability to shift from the darkest scenes of graphic violence to moments of absolute silliness, exemplified by the first two tunes of THE FOUNDATION, the uncompromising "Declaration of War" and playful single "Yes, Yes, Y'All." For all of their schizophrenic fire, the Geto Boys are also good at exploring the flawed features of their own minds with a disarming tenderness, and both "I Tried" and "Leanin On You" echo with a surprising sincerity.
2005's THE FOUNDATION marks the return of Houston, TX kings of controversy the Geto Boys, and reunites all three longstanding members--Scarface, Willie D., and Bushwick Bill--after nearly a decade. The record stays true to the complex, conflicted, ...

Strong Arm Steady: The Collectors Edition Vol. 1
$7.69
As on their debut, the 69 Boyz dispense with any artistic pretensions, presenting a pure party album, full of hard-pumping jeep beats, insistently catchy, simple hooks and choruses and one thing on it's mind (the group's name is a hint). From start to finish THE WAIT IS OVER is a non-stop ...

| | Solomon Burke Don't Give Up On Me CD (2002)
Strong Arm Steady: The Collectors Edition Vol. 1
$12.95 
DON'T GIVE UP ON ME features song contributions from Bob Dylan, Brian Wilson, Van Morrison, Elvis Costello, Tom Waits, Nick Lowe, Dan Penn, Joe Henry, Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil.
DON'T GIVE UP ON ME won the 2003 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Blues Album.
Elvis Costello, Tom Waits, Van Morrison--the stellar list of songwriting contributors on this comeback effort by '60s soul legend Solomon Burke goes on and on. Did we mention Brian Wilson, Nick Lowe, and even his highness Bob Dylan also donating tunes? Burke came to prominence when soul music was a staple on AM radio as performed by himself and peers Otis Redding, Sam Cooke, and Aretha Franklin. Contemporary R&B singers from the endlessly melismatic school could learn a thing or two from Burke's passionate restraint. As producer, the singer-songwriter Joe Henry takes a page from the Daniel Lanois (Dylan, Johnny Cash, Emmylou Harris) school favoring natural sounds, deep resonance, and subtly spectral reverb. There is much reverence to the past in this relatively stripped down approach, but it is also perfectly evident upon close inspection that this is a contemporary album.
Burke had recently been active singing in church, and on this effort he shows that he hasn't forgotten where he came from, bringing along his parish's tasty organist, Brother Rudy Copeland. The tone throughout is primarily serious, occasionally solemn, and then along comes ...
