 (2 Customer Reviews)
This is a DualDisc, which contains a CD on one side of the disc and a DVD on the other.
A significant album for Barry Manilow, THE GREATEST SONGS OF THE FIFTIES finds the Brooklyn-born crooner taking on tunes that were popular in his youth. This 2006 outing also marks Manilow's return to his former label, Arista, with the company's founder, Clive Davis, setting the singer up with 1950s pop classics much in the way that the savvy businessman steered Rod Stewart in the direction of jazzy standards.
The result is a light, breezy affair that showcases Manilow's easy-going charm, as revealed on his gentle versions of the Righteous Brothers' "Unchained Melody" and the Everly Brothers' "All I Have to Do Is Dream." Wisely avoiding over-the-top arrangements, this record presents a lush, restrained sound that allows Manilow's velvety voice to shine, making it one of the performer's finest studio albums in decades.
This dualdisc not only marks Manilow's return to the Arista Records label after 5 years, but also marks a reunion with Clive Davis, Arista founder and BMG U.S. Chairman & CEO. Highlighted by a guest appearance from Phyllis McGuire of the McGuire Sisters on a medley of 1954 hits, this dualdisc is a veritable jukebox of favorites of the era. The CD side contains the complete album.

Live At The El ReyTheir music is made at the point where cool precision, passion and mechanical frenzy intersect. They synthesize elements of gothic, industrial, edgy electronica, darkwave, ethereal pop, modern rock, and trip-hop into a style that is uniquely theirs, soothing yet powerful, smooth yet dangerous. They are Collide: a Los Angeles duo with a knack for intriguing arrangements and compelling performances. Principals Statik and kaRIN, have over their decade together written some of the catchiest songs that will ever haunt you to distraction.Since forming Collide in 1995, the group has released five albums of top-drawer electronica, experimental compositions, and some astonishing reworkings of pop and rock standards. The duo’s labors have won them a stable of admirers, and have led to collaborations with members of Tool, Nine Inch Nails, and Skinny Puppy. They’ve done it by constantly kicking at the boundaries of the form- their name refers to the ceaseless collision of apparent influences on their music. Although Collide has won ...

“…Stomps with the steady-pulsing sensibility of a drummer, certainly, but howls and wails with the influence of some talented folks you don’t associate with drumming, like Bonnie Raitt….”—Nicole Keiper, The Tennessean “Hight marries a Southern literary sensibility with an ambient soundscape as languorous and pregnant with secrets as an August Mississippi night.”—Jack Silverman, The Nashville Scene“There’s a narrative edge in Hight’s songs that reflects her knowledge of literature, and in particular Southern works. But the tone and edge in her singing and writing, augmented by excellent guitar/bass/drum interplay make Darlin’ Understand less esoteric and sharper than many similar works within the singer/songwriter arena.”—Ron Wynn, The City Paper, Nashville, TNNASHVILLE, TN: I might as well come right out and say that I wrote my own bio, which was no easy task, no matter how many of them I’ve written for others in the past. As a music critic, I’m used to writing about what somebody else’s album amounts to. Here’s what I make of my own.Darlin’ Understand is my first album—14 original songs (only one co-written) colored by the molten physicality of blues and the deep, unceasing pulse that I internalized through several years of playing the drums. I know this much—I’ve always been drawn to the more full-bodied and visceral approach to almost anything. I chose clogging—with its shuffling, loose-limbed motions and joyous whooping and hollering—over tap dancing, the drums over clarinet. The musicianship on Darlin’ Understand occupies a potent place somewhere between audaciousness and precision. Those responsible are Charlie Rich, Jr., Delaney Bramlett, Chad Watson—bass player for Charlie Rich, Ronnie Milsap, Janis Ian, Freddy Fender and Delaney Bramlett—Dave Perkins—who’s handled guitar for Ray Charles, Jerry Jeff Walker, Guy Clark, Lucinda Williams and Carol King—Dwight McConnell—bassist for Earl Thomas Conley and T. Graham Brown—Jason Eskridge—backing vocalist for Lyle Lovett and Jonny Lang—Bob Nickerson—who’s played drums for Sun Records, Jeannie C. Riley and Tammy Faye Bakker—and Joshua Whitaker—the raw, intuitive newcomer among the bunch. I co-produced the album with Watson and Nickerson, and let the latter use my 1975 Rogers drumkit throughout the recording process, ...
