Though singer-songwriter Danny O'Keefe has had his songs covered by artists from Elvis Presley to Jackson Browne, his talents have never achieved widespread recognition. Dating from 1977, this smartly assembled, country-flavored collection shows just what the public has been missing over the past few decades. In a series of sharply observed, sophisticated vignettes, O'Keefe lays bare subjects from teen runaways to the opaqueness of relationships in songs like "On Discovering a Missing Person" and "You Look Just Like a Girl Again."

Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars Another milestone in the Danny O’Keefe catalogue
In many ways Danny O’Keefe represents what is best about the singer/songwriter genre. Still does in fact after all these years. He knows how to tell a story, writes memorable lyrics, creates fantastic music and works out arrangements in many different and surprising music styles that enhance his songwriter abilities. “American Roulette” came out in 1977 originally and it seemed that the public didn’t notice it at all. This album has enduring qualities just like Mr. O’Keefe himself. The songs are first rate and his guitar playing sounds perfect. At times it almost feels like a concept album and the music and arrangements add a dreamy feeling to many of the tracks. The title track is songwriting of epic proportions and would serve well as part of a soundtrack in many movies, and when the album ends with the heartfelt “Just Jones,” you know that you were in for a treat. With this CD release as well as “O’Keefe” (1972), “So Long Harry Truman” (1975) & “The Global Blues” (1979) his entire catalogue is finally available in the CD-format. Best of all, he still records and performs. 2008 has seen the release of his 10th album “In Time” – another classic contribution from Danny O’Keefe.

5 stars It's great
I'm glad this is finally on cd. My vinal is worn out. When it came out back then I played it over and over again. I'd put it away and then kept getting it out and playing it. There's just something special about this album to me. It's the whole mood or the way it flows or something. To me it's great.

Pretty Faces (Ocr) CD  (2009)

American Roulette
CD $11.49
In PRETTY FACES the "other girl next door" finds fame and glamour at a beauty pageant for plus-sized women in this backstage musical. Dubbed "a size XXL Chorus Line" (NY Post), Pretty Faces follows each contestant's Cinderella transformation, from day one of rehearsals to the crowning moment of truth. Complete with two feuding stars, a love-struck stage manager, a baton-twirling rich Southern belle, and a spoiled rich girl, this show pays tribute to the large and lovely. Author/Composer Robert W. Cabell based this witty and gutsy new musical on real-life people, giving voice to the talented actresses perpetually cast in secondary or character roles because of their ample size. " I decided what if people could see them dressed up and looking gorgeous, and get to know them as the sexy, sensual, desirable women that they are? And that's how 'Pretty Faces' was born." The result was a triumphant Off Broadway run that ...
Gravity Won't Get You High
Grates Gravity Won't Get You High CD  (2006)

American Roulette
CD $8.65  Audio Samples
Australians the Grates strike a pleasing balance between NUGGETS-era garage rock, lo-fi punk, and Elephant 6-style quirk-pop. Their full-length debut, GRAVITY WON'T GET YOU HIGH, delivers on each count: the songwriting is whimsical but not frivolous, and the band rocks but isn't weighted with poseur attitude. At times the Grates seem to be playing a quaintly crafted version of vintage garage punk, but their sunny, child-like exuberance wins out in the end, making this catchy, solid first effort feel more like punk rock played at a 10-year-old's birthday party. Fans of indie rock that's short on attitude and long on personality should take notice. "Gravity Won't Get You High" is the ...

George Braith Bip Bop Bam CD  (2006)

American Roulette
CD $14.79
George Braith is a legend in the field of modern progressive jazz! He commands an uncanny and absolutely phenomenal knowledge and use of harmonics which is rarely, and often not at all, evidenced in modern jazz music today. George Braith is an inventor, an innovator and a serious scientist of jazz music. As an inventor, George has created an instrument that is comprised of two in one!. He has successfully combined soprano and alto saxophones which are appropriately called the Braithophone. This instrument shall soon be found in music stores in every country on this planet!As an innovator, George has developed the phenomena of “Boptronics”. This term, George told me, “is the conjunction of improvisational jazz and the use of electronic virtual instruments.”Going back many years ago, I discovered upon my arrival to New York City, a very happening place called Musart. It was located in the Soho area of Manhattan. George was the owner of this wonderful club and forum for modern jazz. Here you could dine and enjoy the breathtaking magical atmosphere with many fantastic famous musicians. Chief among them was the late great Albert Dailey, one of the greatest jazz pianists of all time. Then there was the late great Khalid Yasin, Larry Young, who would also frequent Musart. One afternoon Larry was playing George’s Fender Rhoades piano in the loft. I knew Larry to be an accomplished organ virtuoso, but I had no idea of his absolute mastery of the piano. On the label of this CD you can see a little guy who appears to be about five years old. It’s George. He is one of the greatest human beings I have ever been blessed to know. ...
