| | Ricky Nelson Greatest Hits CD Ricky Nelson Discography of CDs
 (4 Customer Reviews)
Although the differences between this 2005 Capitol GREATEST HITS collection and its 2002 counterpart may seem slight (the two sets do share many of the same tracks), the former is credited to the singer's teen-idol name, Ricky Nelson, while ... Full Descriptionthe latter uses the more adult moniker of Rick Nelson. Consequently, the 2005 compilation features more of charming actor/vocalist's early work, focusing on material from the late 1950s and early '60s. During this time, Nelson moved from light rockabilly ("Stood Up" and "Believe What You Say") to winsome ballads ("Poor Little Fool" and "Lonesome Town"), revealing a talent that went deeper than his manicured TV persona. Though both Capitol GREATEST HITS discs are excellent, this is the one for fans seeking more of Nelson's initial recordings.
Personnel include: Ricky Nelson (vocals, guitar); James Burton (guitar).

 Why do we often lose the good ones before their time
A unique voice, and he knew how to use it. He had no so so songs, they were all good which is why his singing was so great. It was a shame he had to go before his time. This is another fine
CD by Ricky Nelson.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Must-have CD
This CD is a must-have -- even for the casual Ricky Nelson fan. Full of great tracks - you just can't beat songs like "Poor Little Fool", "Travelin' Man", and "Hello Mary Lou". And the sound quality is equally fantastic. BUY this CD and the companion DVD.

Greatest Hits album
 $10.15   
After establishing itself as a hard-rock giant, thanks to endless touring and the release of such milestone records as MACHINE HEAD and IN ROCK, Deep Purple was in a state of turmoil when it went into the studio to record 1972's WHO DO WE THINK WE ARE? Despite all the infighting, the band pulled together long enough to record seven tracks that only bolstered the band's reputation.
The best-known song, "Woman From Tokyo," boasted a riff as memorable as the one that defined "Smoke on the Water" and was later admitted by Ritchie Blackmore to have been cribbed from Eric Clapton's "Cat Squirrel." Although Blackmore's always-impressive riffing stands out on such songs as "Mary Long" and "Place in Line," this album also spotlights how far Jon Lord's contributions on organ went toward defining the band's sound. Lord's mastery was such that in addition to the impressive solos on "Place in Line," his sweeping runs are the highlight of the stop-and-go "Rat Bat Blue." On this roller coaster ride of an album, the ...
| | Rolling Stones 12 X 5 CD (1964)
Greatest Hits CD music
$10.39 
12 X 5 includes material recorded by the Stones at Chicago's Chess Studios (home to the band's idols Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf) on their first US tour. Though this document of the group's early R&B period kicks off with a couple of covers from unsurprising sources (Chuck Berry's "Around and Around,") Mick and Keith waste little time in displaying their own compositional acumen. The acoustic-based, bluesy "Good Times, Bad Times" harkens back to even earlier, more seminal Stones influences than Berry, as does the instrumental "2120 South Michigan Avenue," where the blues-obsessed Jagger's harp is featured a la his hero Little Walter.
The downbeat, Arthur Alexanderish "Congratulations" is an effective expression of romantic melancholy, complete with acoustic guitar solo. The slide guitar chords on "Grown Up Wrong" ...
| | Animals Retrospective CD (2004)
Greatest Hits music CDs
$14.39 
Today the most recognition the Animals get is "House of the Rising Sun" being played on oldies radio, but in the mid-1960s they were a powerful part of the British Invasion, often reckoned on a par with the Beatles, the Stones, and the Who. Like those bands, the Animals had strong roots in blues and R&B, but, in their original incarnation, they stayed closer to those roots than their peers did. This definitive compilation, masterfully assembled by the ABKCO think tank of Teri Landi and Jody Klein, shows the tough, uncompromising use to which the Animals put their American influences. John Lee Hooker's "Boom Boom" is recast as a raw garage rocker glazed with Alan Price's sinister organ riffs, and the aforementioned "House of the Rising Sun" is transformed from a traditional folk lament to an urgent, ominous piece of churning tumult.
Of course, the group skillfully expanded those roots (with the help of some great writers), and turned ...
| | Alexis Korner Kornerstoned: Anthology 1958-1983 CD (2004) (Import) United Kingdom
Greatest Hits songs
$25.19
While MUSICALLY RICH...AND FAMOUS documents the second half of British blues godfather Alexis Korner's career, KORNERSTONED adopts a more comprehensive approach, following the pioneering singer/guitarist from the very beginning of his musical life, all the way through every subsequent phase of his development. So we get not only his mid-1960s work with burgeoning blues-rock giants like Paul Rodgers and Steve Marriott, but also his `50s skiffle recordings (basically the British version of jug-band music) with the Ken Colyer band and his own skiffle group, and even an early acoustic guitar duel with famed ...

Showbiz appealed to young Ricky, and he embarked upon a career as a crooner and pop culture icon, which continued until his untimely death in a 1985 ...

Greatest Hits songs
$6.39
Superior Jimmy Buffett, and a nice mix of the rowdy and the reflective. Representing the former are the opening "Making Music for Money," a bluesy lament about commercialism that rocks about as hard as Buffett gets, and the hilarious "Door Number Three," a mock country song (co-written with folkie Steve Goodman) about Monte Hall's '70s game show "Let's Make a Deal."
More introspective songs include the self-explanatory "A Pirate Looks at 40" and "Trying to Reason with Hurricane Season," ...
