Get Heavy CD music
$13.39 While the name Israel Kamakawiwo'ole falls trippingly off few tongues, the Hawaiian singer better known as "Iz" was one of the biggest stars in his home state. Iz first came to public attention as a member of the popular Hawaiian group known as the Makaha Sons of Ni'ihau. His subsequent solo career brought even greater fame, and countless fans were saddened at his untimely death in 1997. Those who mourn his passing will be gladdened by the posthumous release of ALONE IN IZ WORLD, compiled from various recording session outtakes.
While one might expect a big, deep sound to emanate from a gargantuan-sized body like that of Iz, the hefty singer actually possessed a gorgeous, fragile tenor voice full of tenderness and delicacy. That voice is put to use here on tunes that alternate between voice-and-ukelele solo performances (Iz was no slouch on the uke) and more fully arranged tunes enhanced after the singer's death. Whether crooning in his native tongue or in English, Iz cuts right through to the heart of the listener with his pure, emotive tone.

| | Greg Brown Milk Of The Moon CD (2002)
Get Heavy music CDs
$14.35 Singer-songwriter Greg Brown has made a cottage industry for himself in the folk world by doing it his way. His quirky, deeper-than-deep voice, homespun poetic narratives, and decidedly uncommercial bent have found their way into the hearts of many via the label he and cohort Bob Feldman started specifically to promote his music, and which has incidentally become a viable home for many other artists over the years. That independent spirit is all over MILK OF THE MOON, where Brown refuses to fall into genre traps. If a song resembles a traditional blues too closely, he'll distort his voice till it sounds like he's singing from Tom Waits's bathroom. If a pastoral sonic landscape is in danger of becoming too precious he'll slather it with some stinging, distorted guitar.
Despite such twists, Brown's strength has always been simplicity, and he adheres admirably to that principle here. Part of the reason MILK OF THE MOON doesn't aspire to the junkyard orchestra heights of SLANT 6 MIND may be that Brown's guitarist/producer Bo Ramsey isn't on board. But it's just as likely that Brown just knew the best way to get these uncomplicated-but-trenchant tales of post-postmodern American life across was to present them with plenty of soul and a minimum of fuss.
On "Milk of the Moon" Greg Brown elevates the genre of original singer songwriter folk music to a plane just about level with the lunar surface!

| | Mike Bloomfield Super Session CD (1968) Bonus Tracks; Remastered
Get Heavy songs
$10.15 A surprise best-seller when it was first released, this mostly improvised pairing of singer/keyboardist/producer Al Kooper with two major guitar heroes of the day sounds fascinating all these years later precisely because of the distance of time--nobody makes records like this any more. The material runs the gamut from folk pop (covers of Donovan and Dylan), to blues ("Albert's Shuffle," "You Don't Love Me"), to heady jams ("His Holy Modal Majesty"), to big-band jazz ("Harvey's Tune").
All the tunes make effective templates for the kind off-the-cuff music-making that in less capable hands might have resulted in simple noodling. In fact, although Bloomfield and Stills don't play together on any of the cuts (Bloomfield played on one side of the original LP, Stills on the other), all three principals get off lots of good licks and producer Kooper has some interesting tricks up his sleeve, as in the over-the-top phasing he lavishes on "You Don't Love Me." The only real disappointment here is that Stills, a far better singer than Kooper, never opens his mouth.
Those familiar with the Live Adventures album these two recorded at the Fillmore West know how brilliant they could be on stage, and here's another gem, recorded at the Fillmore East this time and featuring 'One Way Out,' 'It's My Own Fault' (with Bloomfield trading licks with Johnny Winter...Johnny was signed to Columbia after this gig!). Newly remastered & now with 4 bonus tracks, 'Albert's Shuffle' (2002 Remix w/o Horns), 'Season of the Witch.' (2002 Remix w/o Horns), 'Blues For Nothing' (Studio Outtake) & 'Fat Grey Cloud' Previously Unreleased Live Track). Features 12-page booklet with unpublished photos ...
| | Doors Live In Detroit CD (2004)
Get Heavy album
$28.19 Once in a while, Jim Morrison would just forget about limits (he had a thing about limits, you know) and just keep performing into the wee hours. This early-'70s gig at Detroit's Cobo Hall was one such night. In fact, this limited edition 2-CD set featuring 27 tracks, 22 previously unreleased, documents easily the longest Doors set ever performed, stretching about an hour over the standard concert running time and resulting in the band being barred from ever playing Cobo Hall again! The band was working on 'L.A. Woman' at the time, so the ...

Get Heavy CD music
$12.15 Finland's Lordi offers its fourth studio release of fist-banging, hard-rocking party anthems with DEADACHE. Chockful of 1980s-inspired rock with a penchant for 1950s horror, Lordi's latest is heavier and more emotional than 2006's critically-acclaimed THE AROCKALYPSE. Featuring grotesque ...
