Play album
 $13.29  
Celtic Thunder's fourth studio album helps further distance the outfit from its traditional roots, swapping out the songs of its homeland for ballads from Neil Diamond and Peter Catera. Like 2009's Take Me Home, 2010's It's Entertainment has little fear of schmaltz, as evidenced by the inclusion of straight-up tear-pleading renditions of funeral hymn/American Idol audition standards like "Amazing Grace" and Leonard Cohen's ubiquitous "Hallelujah." That said, the lads have a lot of fun with material like "Surfer ...

The very first moments of Rodrigo y Gabriela's sophomore effort, 11:11, hit the listener cold in the face, and not just because of the amazing guitar playing. Sure, it's there, but it's what anyone who heard the duo's astonishing debut would expect. No, it's the sound of the record: immediate, ...

| | Bob Marley Catch A Fire CD (1973) Bonus Tracks; Remastered
Play CD music
$10.79
Bob Marley/Bob Marley & the Wailers: Bob Marley; Aston Barrett (bass instrument); Peter McIntosh, Bunny Livingston (background vocals); Carlton "Carlie" Barrett.
It is nearly impossible to imagine a time when reggae was not part of the cultural currency. Though Bob Marley and the Wailers cannot be said to have invented the style, they certainly brought it to the world stage, and this album was the torch that lit the way. CATCH A FIRE hit with the force of a revelation when it was released in 1973, and though Chris Blackwell tailored its sound with a rock audience in mind, the album was still unlike anything that had ever come down the pike. Ironically, even given its relatively full production and electric guitar solos, CATCH A FIRE sounds more organic and rootsy than any of the Wailers' subsequent releases.
While the percolating rhythms and burbling bass lines of the Barrett brothers, and the sweet, impeccable harmonies of Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer soothe and move, CATCH A FIRE also introduces the conscious, politically minded themes that would remain at the center of Marley's songwriting for the rest of his career. "Concrete Jungle," one of the towering standout tracks, addresses the trap of inner cities, while "Slave ...

| | Fall Live In London 1980: The Legendary Chaos Tape Vinyl LP (1997)
Play songs
 $25.25
In late 1980, the initial incarnation of UK post-punk pioneers the Fall was running on all cylinders, and by the time they wrapped up their '80 tour in December with a couple of London gigs, they were a force with which to be reckoned. The resultant live recording, LIVE IN LONDON was originally a cassette-only limited edition, not being released more officially until many years later. This remastered-with-bonus-tracks version of LIVE IN LONDON is the definitive one. You can hear the benefits of the furious pace at which writer/ranter Mark E. Smith and his cohorts were creating a new sound from the ground-up bones of what had gone before. There are strong echoes of American roots music amid the Year Zero punk nihilism--the influence of rockabilly and Johnny Cash's minimalist country music is easily discernible, even as it leads into Smith's Kerouac-on-the-dole stream-of-consciousness dissertations.
The Fall was just reaching its first peak, having released GROTESQUE (AFTER THE GRAMME) and being on the verge of putting out HEX INDUCTION HOUR, but in due course they would depart seminal indie label Rough Trade for Beggars Banquet, and both stylistic and personnel changes would follow. This, then, is the early band at its raw, gritty best; full of vitriol but experienced enough to have developed an oddly ...

Legendary San Francisco punks the Dead Kennedys are considered one of the genre's premier trailblazers.

Play album
$8.69
Jonah Rank's latest concoction, Your Favorite Album, like his debut CD, Loud and Dumb, is not only breaking the limitations of aural perception, but it is also breaking people's ear drums. Yet under the sneering, there is an artistry. This album of entirely improvised music is seeks meaning.From the refined and rocking church organ on top of "Mount Sermon" to a comfortable landing at a piano solo "Beyond Green Hills", Your Favorite Album takes the listener through a world of wild sonic experimentation. Descending "Mount Sermon", Your Favorite Album crosses the border into "East Carolina On the West" as Jonah's banjo slaps its audience right onto the short but funky bass of "The Electric Couch." The listener need not get up though; the drumming "Dental Breakdown" shoots into perspective the nearly classical treat of "No Hindsight In Reach (No Lessons Taught)". Before there's anytime to reflect on the violin solo, Jonah's chromonica tells us that it is neither the blues nor classical: "Blue and Green (No Time)". After one non-blues comes a different kind of blues: namely, the "Ancient Near Eastern Holiday Blues" on Jonah's shofar. Exhausting a quickly contracting universe of possibilities in non-Western music, Your Favorite Album picks the listener back up and places it by the fuzzy bass of "The Electric Fuzzy Couch", all geared up for the interjectional drums of "Yeah Yeah Yeah (Rock)". The wild times calm down though, and "Scenes From a First Grade Classroom" appears with a high wooden recorder - with its new instrument and timbre to descend in the rising of age - all the way through "Scenes From a Second Grade Classroom", "Scenes From a Third Grade Classroom", and "Scenes From a Fourth Grade Classroom". The wooden recorders' blasts from the past are blasted even further as the listen is brought to the pizzicato picking of Jonah's violin in "17th Century Blues" only to be recognized by the slow sounds of jazz chords on an electric guitar reminding us that, after this much of the journey, we are all ...
