Kool & The Gang – Gold (2005) [2008, Japanese SHM-CD]

Kool & The Gang - Gold (2005) [2008, Japanese SHM-CD]

Believe it or not, Gold is the first compilation with U.S. distribution to provide a fair and rather thorough glance at Kool & the Gang’s career from 1969 through 1987. Dozens upon dozens of other sets either focus on one of the group’s distinct eras or attempt clumsily to appease those who want “Jungle Boogie” and “Joanna” in one spot. Continue reading “Kool & The Gang – Gold (2005) [2008, Japanese SHM-CD]”

The Wallflowers – Bringing Down The Horse (1996)

The Wallflowers - Bringing Down The Horse (1996)

No sophomore jinx here. Of course, there are only two Wallflowers left from their first release, so this could be called a whole new band. No matter, because the music here is assured and contemporary with just enough of the past showing through to catch one’s eye. Jakob Dylan has been polishing his compositional chops and it really shows on such cuts as “Invisible City,” the hit “6th Avenue Heartache” and especially “One Headlight.” A fine effort indeed. Continue reading “The Wallflowers – Bringing Down The Horse (1996)”

Barclay James Harvest – Child Of The Universe: The Essential Collection (2013)

Barclay James Harvest - Child Of The Universe: The Essential Collection (2013)

Throughout the ’70s and ’80s, England’s Barclay James Harvest were one of prog rock’s most enduring acts, releasing a steady string of well-crafted albums for Harvest Records and Polydor while never quite breaking through to the mainstream success enjoyed by similar acts such as the Moody Blues, Jethro Tull, and Pink Floyd.

Lulu – Shout!: The Complete Decca Recordings (2009)

Lulu - Shout!: The Complete Decca Recordings (2009)

Although Lulu’s mid-’60s Decca recordings have been issued piecemeal on numerous anthologies, somehow no one executed the logical idea of putting them all together on one release until this 42-track, two-CD collection. All of her 1964-1967 sides for the label are included, serving as a comprehensive document to the first three years or so of her recording career.
