| | Nicole Atkins Neptune City CD Nicole Atkins Discography of CDs
On her 2007 Columbia debut, NEPTUNE CITY, New Jersey-raised/Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter Nicole Atkins offers up a bold, vibrant set of songs that place her in the company of fellow pop eccentrics such as Rufus Wainwright, Fiona Apple, and Keren Ann. With her resonant voice and lush, inventive arrangements, Atkins sounds like an old soul, a point hit home by the jaunty album opener, "Maybe Tonight," and "Brooklyn's on Fire!," a majestic tune bolstered by strings and choir-like vocals.
Personnel: Miranda Gjerstad, Johana Beckman, Minna Wall, Solveig Sandnes, Peter Minorsson, Maria Kohnke, Ulf Turesson, Emil de Waal, Alexandra Hamnede, Andreas Stellan, Mattias Gustavsson (vocals); Jens Lindgard (guitar, sitar, trombone, guitar synthesizer, bass guitar); Dave Hollinghurst (guitar); Tore Johansson (slide guitar, acoustic bass, bass guitar); Filip Runesson (violin, viola, cello); Sven Andersson (flute, saxophone); Peter Lindgard (trumpet, drums, percussion); Martin Gjerstad (piano, spinet, electric piano, organ, reed organ, Mellotron, vibraphone, chimes); Daniel "Shaolun" Chen (electric piano, reed organ, Mellotron); Daniel Mintzer (drums); Korey Mall (percussion).
Rolling Stone (p.85) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Draping her throaty voice over velvety surf-guitar ballads, orchestral studio pop and misty piano-bar melodies...she calls out the bridges, bars and ex-boyfriends she left behind..."
Spin (p.98) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[The] songwriter cooly distills the romanticism of '60s girl groups into dark, baleful country pop."
Entertainment Weekly (p.63) - "[W]ith percolating percussion, funky bass lines, and romantic filmscore strings. It's heartbreak nearly at its finest -- and most cosmopolitan." -- Grade: B+
Q (Magazine) (p.132) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "Atkins has a big voice and a taste for melodrama informed by Roy Orbison [and] Phil Spector....It all comes together on 'Maybe Tonight' and the title track, an elegy for her ailing hometown."

Purchase Neptune City CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Richard Thompson Old Kit Bag CDs (2003) Bonus Disc
Neptune City album
 $13.59  
The first 35,000 copies sold included a limited edition bonus CD, including tracks from Richard Thompson's 1000 YEARS OF POPULAR MUSIC show and footage from his BBC documentary.
Finding refuge in the arms of indie label Cooking Vinyl after years of wandering the deserts of the major labels, Richard Thompson strips his band down considerably in conjuring up the rich material that graces THE OLD KIT BAG. Longtime Thompson fans will be pleased to find the man rocking along quite convincingly, whether its with the steady build of tension found in the wiry opener "Gethsemane," the chiming and chugging "I'll Tag Along," or the rollicking chant "Jealous Words," (featuring Linda-like accompaniment by background vocalist ...
| | Warren Zevon Wind CD (2003)
Neptune City CD music
$14.79  
THE WIND won the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Folk Album. "Keep Me in Your Heart" was nominated for Song Of The Year and for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance. "Disorder in the House" won for Best Rock Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal and was also nominated for Best Rock Song.
With the specter of a terminal lung cancer diagnosis hanging over his head, Warren Zevon responded by rallying to make THE WIND, an album that found him working with longtime collaborator and friend Jorge Calderon, shortly after getting the news. The result is a tight group of 11 songs wrapped up in a year, despite a diagnosis that only gave Zevon three months to live. Along the way, plenty of famous names--both friends and fans--pitched in, including Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen, Emmylou Harris, Jackson Browne, Dwight ...
| | Kathleen Edwards Back To Me CD (2005)
Neptune City music CDs
$12.45 
Kathleen Edwards excels at simple denim-and-leather country rock that recalls the best moments of Freedy Johnston and Lucinda Williams. Like these artists, Edwards writes mournful vignettes from the POV of down-at-the-heel small-town folks, with a rueful tenderness that suggests compassion beyond her years. Edwards sings in a pretty-yet-tomboyish voice that conveys longing, frustration, and often a vivifying redemption. Tom Petty sideman Benmont Tench and Sarah McLachlan's mentor Pierre Marchand ...

| | Grady Martin Roughneck Blues 1949-1956 CD (2007) Remastered; PRMP
Neptune City songs
$13.09
Strictly speaking, this isn't a Grady Martin CD so much as it's a compilation of recordings on which his guitar work as a session player figures prominently, although he's credited as the leader of the featured or backup group on a few of the cuts. Still, on most of these 32 tracks from 1949 to 1956 he was a hired hand, lending his licks to a wealth of hillbilly and rockabilly performers, including stars like Brenda Lee, Little Jimmy Dickens, Red Foley, Burl Ives, Johnny Horton, Wayne Raney, and a pre-fame Buddy Holly. There's even a bit of blues via his help on sides by Cecil Gant, as well as appearances on singles of various styles by a whole bunch of singers known only to collectors. Should you be interested in this material mostly for Martin's contributions, his guitar riffs are certainly excellent whether he's playing country boogie or moving into rock & roll, sometimes reeling off some scorching solos, at others offering more subordinate, sturdy work in service of the particular song. If you've got a wide taste for hillbilly and rockabilly of the period, however, it's a good listen no matter whether you're investigating it for Martin's participation or not. There's much energetic, good-humored music here from the time that country music was becoming more electrified and turning into different forms, including a couple acknowledged classics in Red Foley's "Chattanoogie Shoe ...
