(1 Customer Review)
2006 digitally remastered set that combines 2 original albums by the late, great patriarch of The Staples Singers in one double disc package. "Peace To The Neighborhood" was originally released in 1992 on the Pointblank label and combines joyous soul and gospel with swampy funk and blues and features the rest of The Staples, Bonnie Raitt and Jackson Browne. "Father Father" was originally released in 1994 on Pointblank and won a Grammy for Best Contemporary Blues Album that year. Pop Staples was an amazing 78 years old when he recorded this album.
2 original albums on 1 CD: PEACE TO THE NEIGHORHOOD (1992) / FATHER, FATHER (1994). The double album contains reissues of two of Pops Staples's best late-career albums. FATHER FATHER won the 1995 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Blues Album and contains a blistering version of Bob Dylan's "You Gotta Serve Somebody." PEACE TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD is an even heartier helping of Delta blues, featuring a wealth of guest stars including Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt, Ry Cooder, and the rest of the singing Staples family. This Acadia Records release combines Pop Staples' two solo albums, 1992's Peace to the Neighborhood and 1994's Father Father, on one disc. Both albums were recorded when Staples was well into his seventies, so his voice wasn't quite what it used to be, having been reduced to a Curtis Mayfield-like quaver, but that isn't really a drawback since it gives these tracks an immediate and delicate intimacy. Coupled with his patented reverb-laced guitar playing, Staples wonderfully blurs the line between what is secular and what is sacred on cuts like "World in Motion," "Hope in a Hopeless World," and the stunningly atmospheric "Down in Mississippi," further perfecting the gospel, blues and R&B hybrid he had been delivering all of his career, giving it that trademark Pop Staples swampy funk feel. Placing these two albums together is a no-brainer, since both work with the same elements, combing Saturday night rhythms with Sunday morning sentiments until the line between them is all but erased. ~ Steve Leggett

Peace To The Neighborhood/Father, Father
$11.15 Flow Mingled Down is the newest CD by ambient and electronic artist Resonant Drift. A progression from deep space to cadenced sound paintings is employed by frequent use of drones, percussive elements, synthesizer and synthesizer effects. In the style of Steve Roach, Robert Rich, Jonn Serrie, Paul Ellis, Brian Eno and Tangerine Dream, the album is heavily influenced by dreams and emotions buried deep. Some tracks are, perhaps, a bit unsettling followed by a soft landing on reflection and relaxation.Resonant Drift circumvents the obvious and seeks the pleasant. Peel the layers and…hear.REVIEWS...Excerpts from a couple of reviews of the "Flow Mingled Down" CD:"Flow Mingled Down by Resonant Drift is a fascinating journey in sound, where environment and atmosphere develop through a masterful manipulation of tone and melody. Bill Olien of Resonant Drift shows a tremendous talent for the creation of aural landscaping throughout the disc, a talent which will surely appeal to listeners who crave spaces made within their music...To be able to evoke an image of a space is a wonderful talent, but to be able to bring to mind an emotion, a feeling, so clearly as this is truly a gift...Needless to say, I'm one of those listeners that I mentioned earlier, the kind that craves space within the music they listen to. I enjoy a disc that implies a space through it's use of sound. Resonant Drift is a project that succeeds admirably in that goal, and I can heartily recommend "Flow Mingled Down" as an excellent ...
| | Queen Latifah All Hail The Queen CD (1989)
Peace To The Neighborhood/Father, Father
$9.69 Producers include: Prince Paul, D.J. Mark The 45 King, Louis "Louie Louie" Vega, Daddy-O, KRS-One. Engineers include: Al Watts, Shane "The Doctor" Faber, Bob Coulter. Recorded at Calliope Productions, Island Media, Greene Street, Studio 1212, and Power Play Productions, New York, New York. As strong a buzz as Queen Latifah created with her debut single of 1988, "Wrath of My Madness" and its reggae-influenced B-side "Princess of the Posse," one would have expected the North Jersey rapper/actress' first album, All Hail the Queen, to be much stronger. Though not a bad album by any means, it doesn't live up to Latifah's enormous potential. The CD's strongest material includes "Evil That Men Do," a hardhitting duet with KRS-One addressing Black-on-Black crime and other social ills; the infectious hip-house number "Come Into My House"; the rap/reggae duet with Stetsasonic's Daddy-O "The Pros"; and the aforementioned songs. Unfortunately, boasting numbers like "A King and Queen Creation" and "Queen of Royal Badness" aren't terribly ...
