Robert Earl Keen Party Never Ends: Songs You Know From The Times You Can't Remember CD (2003)

Robert Earl Keen is something of a barroom legend in his native Texas, where his gigs usually attract large crowds of well-oiled admirers who are predictably eager to hear comic songs like "The Five Bound Bass," "Barbeque," "Merry Christmas from the Family," and "Copenhagen" (which, since these are Texans we're talking about, is about the chewing tobacco and not the city). Of course, anyone who's spent much time with Keen's albums knows there's a lot more to his work than that -- he's a superb narrative tunesmith who can write about tragedy and heartbreak just as well as he can milk a crowd for laughs -- and while this compilation, assembled by his former label, Sugar Hill, attempts to honor both sides of Keen's personality, the title and the arm-waving cactus cover art make it clear where the greatest emphasis lies. And as such things go, The Party Never Ends: Songs You Know from the Times You Can't Remember is an enjoyable overview of Keen's work for Sugar Hill; while it's drawn from only three of the six albums he recorded for the label, there are several solid laugh-getters (including the four aforementioned tunes), as well as some excellent tunes in a more serious vein, most notably "Dreadful Selfish Crime," "I'm Comin' Home," "Gringo Honeymoon," and "The Road Goes on Forever" (which is sort of the title song, though the phrase is used with a large degree of sarcasm). As a one-disc introduction to Robert Earl Keen or a one-stop shopping place for his less discriminating fans, The Party Never Ends: Songs You Know from the Times You Can't ...

Colosseum Valentyne Suite CD (1969) Bonus Tracks; England; Remastered

Coo Quack Cluck songs

$22.09
Recorded between 1969 & 1971. Includes liner notes by Shaun Stallard. Progressive rockers Colosseum's 1969 release features five tracks including the three-part title suite. One of England's prime jazz-rock -- or, more accurately, rock-jazz -- outfits, most of the members of Colossuem had apprenticed in blues bands, and it shows very strongly on some of the material here. Both "The Kettle" and "Butty's Blues" are essentially tarted-up 12-bar blues, although they work well in a grander context; in the latter case much grander, as a brass ensemble enters for the last part, drowning out everything but the guitar, an indication that this recording is in dire need of remastering. "Elegy" is a fast-paced, minor-key blues that stretches guitarist James Litherland's vocal abilities. Things do get far more interesting with "The Machine Demands a Sacrifice," which offers solo opportunities to organist Dave Greenslade and sax player Dick Heckstall-Smith before re-emerging in what can only be called a proto-industrial style, all heavily treated clattering percussion. The album's real joy comes with "The Valentyne Suite," which takes the band out of their bluesy comfort zone into something closer to prog rock. Bandleader Jon Hiseman is a stalwart throughout, his busy drumming and fills owing far more to jazz than the studied backbeat of rock. Greenslade proves to be a largely unsung hero, his only real solo in the suite something to offer a challenge to vintage Keith Emerson, but with swing. As to criticism, bassist Tony Reeves has very little flow to his playing, which severely hampers a rhythm section that needs to be loose-limbed, and Litherland's guitar playing is formulaic, which can be fine for rock, but once outside the most straightforward parameters, he seems lost. In retrospect this might not quite the classic it seemed at the time, but it remains listenable, and for much of the time, extremely enjoyable. ~ Chris Nickson This double-CD ...
