The Vogues – Greatest Hits (1988)

The Vogues - Greatest Hits (1988)

A doo wop vocal group from the Pittsburgh area, the Vogues started well in the mid-’60s with “You’re the One,” an infectious bit of folk-rock with enough of a British Invasion feel to earn it heavy play on AM radio. “Five O’Clock World” was an even better single, a two-minute blast of timeless release, chronicling the feel of getting off work with the whole night still ahead, that one instant when everything is a possibility and the future has not yet arrived with its schedule of deadlines and pressures. Few pop songs have ever caught that moment with more élan or conviction. Continue reading “The Vogues – Greatest Hits (1988)”

Madeleine Peyroux - Anthem (2018) [Japanese Edition]

Mike Tramp - Songs Of White Lion (2023) [Japanese Edition]

As the title implies, “Songs Of White Lion” sees respected vocalist/guitarist Mike Tramp re-imagining select cuts from his former band White Lion’s catalog. “Now, here I am again, the year is 2023 and I have recorded an album of the ‘big’ White Lion songs as close to the originals as possible, but exploring small new parts that today I feel should be that way. Continue reading “Mike Tramp – Songs Of White Lion (2023) [Japanese Edition]”

Wayne Fontana & The Mindbenders - Hit Single Anthology (1991)

In 1965, Wayne Fontana & the Mindbenders struck with one of the British Invasion’s greatest one-shots, the number one hit “Game of Love.” After Fontana split for a solo career shortly afterwards, the Mindbenders scored another mammoth hit that was nearly as memorable, “A Groovy Kind of Love.” Continue reading “Wayne Fontana & The Mindbenders – Hit Single Anthology (1991)”

“This is a very important album for the band,” says Steve Howe, Yes’ longest serving member, master guitarist, and producer of Mirror to the Sky, the bands 23rd studio album. “We kept the continuity in the approach we established on The Quest, but we haven’t repeated ourselves. That was the main thing. As Yes did in the seventies from one album to another, we’re growing and moving forward. Continue reading “YES – Mirror To The Sky (2023)”

Paul Simon – Seven Psalms (2023)

Paul Simon - Seven Psalms (2023)

Seven Psalms comes into focus softly and slowly, with Paul Simon’s circular acoustic guitar figure repeating like a benediction. Religion is certainly on Simon’s mind on Seven Psalms, a collection of seven songs that the singer/songwriter hesitates to call an album; he’s so intent on having the tunes being heard as an interconnected set, he didn’t index the individual segments on either the CD or digital incarnations.

Gary Lewis & The Playboys – The Legendary Masters Series (1990) [Remastered]

Gary Lewis & The Playboys - The Legendary Masters Series (1990) [Remastered]

One of the most engaging pop acts of the mid-’60s, The Playboys benefited from strong songwriting (Al Kooper cowrote “This Diamond Ring”) and studio personnel (courtesy of Leon Russell). It’s still light, catchy pop with the enjoyable, unaffected vocals of Gary Lewis on top, and still fun.

Dave Berry – Berry’s Best (1989)

Dave Berry - Berry's Best (1989)

Briefly a big star in Britain in the mid-’60s, Dave Berry faced the same dilemma as several other British teen idols of the era: R&B was obviously nearest and dearest to his heart, but he needed to record blatantly pop material to make the hit parade. It was also obvious that Berry was in fact much more suited toward pop ballads than rough-and-tumble R&B, regardless of his personal preferences. Continue reading “Dave Berry – Berry’s Best (1989)”
