| | Marshall Crenshaw Field Day CD Marshall Crenshaw Discography of CDs
1983's FIELD DAY, Crenshaw's second album, took some fans of his sprightly debut by surprise. For this excursion, he had enlisted the help of hot producer Steve Lillywhite, whose approach to drum and guitar sounds had helped to create hits for U2, XTC, and others. The result was a sound notably different from anything heard in Crenshaw's previous work. The musician returned to simpler productions for later records, but FIELD DAY is an exceptional album.
FIELD DAY is brimming with beautifully crafted, Beatles-esque pop songs. Crenshaw's music is a delicious treat for the ears--as catchy as can be. Listening to these songs in the knowing glow of hindsight, it is shocking that none of them were enormous hits. Alas, it's a fickle world. Crenshaw's first three albums remain a dazzling display of rock & roll smarts, emotional resonance, and good old fashioned danceable fun.
Recorded at Power Station, New York, New York in Febuary 1983.

Purchase Field Day CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Train Save Me, San Francisco CD (2009)
Field Day
 $9.58   
San Francisco's Train hit the charts with a bang early in the 21st century with hits like "Calling All Angels" and "Drops of Jupiter." They began as a band that courted an alternative audience and quickly traded it -- without changing their sound much -- for a more adult fanbase with mixed results. SAVE ME, SAN FRANCISCO took four years to make -- remember there was Monahan's solo album in the interim -- and involved a slew of musicians (because only Monahan, guitarist Jimmy Stafford, and drummer Scott Underwood remain from the original group), four studios in the United States and England, songwriting collaborators, and even a handful ...

| | Mark Knopfler Get Lucky CD (2009)
Field Day
$15.65
With the release of GET LUCKY, Mark Knopfler has made as many solo studio albums as he made group studio albums with Dire Straits, which itself may be a signal that it's time to stop comparing his two careers and simply accept them as separate entities. Of course, since Knopfler was the lead singer, chief instrumentalist, and songwriter for Dire Straits, there are obvious similarities, even if he has taken a deliberately different path as a solo artist. Basically, he's a lot quieter. "Border Reiver," the first song here, begins with a pennywhistle and a piano, then strings join in. Soon enough, Knopfler's distinctive conversational baritone begins calmly intoning lyrics, and eventually there are examples of his melodic fingerpicked guitar style on both acoustic and electric guitar. He even works up to a smoldering swamp rock shuffle, a la J.J. Cale, on "Cleaning My Gun." But that's as close as he comes to really rocking out. More typical is "Hard Shoulder," a ballad that employs a twangy guitar sound and comes across as a number that Glen Campbell could have had a hit with back in his late-'60s "Wichita Lineman" heyday. The tunes support Knopfler's story-songs and musical character studies, as he describes or embodies ...

| | Beatles Revolver CD (1966) Limited Edition; Remastered; Digipak; Enhanced CD
Field Day
$15.25
This reissue of REVOLVER has been digitally re-mastered. It comes packaged with replicated original U.K. album art, an expanded booklet containing original and newly written liner notes, and rare photos. Limited quantities of the CD are embedded with a brief documentary film about the album.
Arguably the first psychedelic rock album, REVOLVER was praised for its musical experimentation--the Indian sounds of "Love You To," the Motown-inspired "Got To Get You Into My Life," the backwards guitar in "I'm Only Sleeping." "Tomorrow Never Knows" was the most radical departure from previous Beatles' recordings for its skeletal bass/drums propulsion enhanced only with tape loops (contributed by all four Beatles and added in the mix-down process), more backwards guitar, and an eerie John Lennon vocal.
Still, the Beatles' experimentation grew out of their songwriting, which had matured beyond formula pop. "Tomorrow Never Knows" was inspired by the Tibetan Book of the Dead, Harrison's "Taxman" was a bitter diatribe, and McCartney's "Eleanor Rigby" was a bleak portrait of loneliness. Balanced with upbeat songs like "Good Day Sunshine" and "Yellow Submarine," REVOLVER ...

Principally recorded at Electric Lady Studios and Manhattan Center Studios, New York, New York.
True to its title, THE ELEPHANT RIDERS by Maryland natives Clutch is a mighty behemoth of sound, maintaining a perfectly frightening level of pure testosterone throughout. The sheer machismo is given a disarming level of agility by acrobatic drummer Jean-Paul Gaster, who employs funky accents and daring meter switches to smarten up Clutch's Neanderthal assault.

Rather than following up its runaway-hit debut, SONGS ABOUT JANE, and the subsequent acoustic EP with another studio album, Maroon 5 opted to release the 2005 live CD/DVD set Friday THE 13TH. Here the soul-tinged pop/rock act runs through every tune from JANE, including audience-interactive versions of "This Love" and the breezy "She Will Be Loved," and a rendition of "Secret" that works in the Bill Withers classic "Ain't No Sunshine." As always, frontman Adam Levine's plaintive, Stevie Wonder-like vocals carry ...
