Robert Palmer - Best Of Both Worlds: The Robert Palmer Anthology (1974-2001) (2002)

There are usually thought to be two phases to Robert Palmer’s career: an earlier one running from 1974 to 1983, when he explored New Orleans second-line funk and reggae, backed by members of Little Feat and the Meters and turned out a series of critically acclaimed, modestly successful recordings, and a later one, from 1985 on, when he rode his good looks, some high-fashion videos, Continue reading “Robert Palmer – Best Of Both Worlds: The Robert Palmer Anthology (1974-2001) (2002)”

On the Threshold of a Dream was the first album that the Moody Blues had a chance to record and prepare in a situation of relative calm, without juggling tour schedules and stealing time in the studio between gigs — indeed, it was a product of what were almost ideal circumstances, though it might not have seemed that way to some observers.

Although his second solo album (since 1984’s Now Voyager), it is the first of all new material since the Bee Gees’ final studio album This Is Where I Came In (2001). Gibb said of the album: “This is a dream come true for me. It’s a new chapter in my life. I always hoped one day that The Bee Gees would be with Columbia or indeed Sony so, it’s a great joy for me to start again this way with such great people.” Continue reading “Barry Gibb – In the Now (2016) [Japanese Blu-Spec CD2]”

Dinah Washington – Complete 1943-1951 Mercury Master Takes (2001) [4CD Box Set]

Dinah Washington - Complete 1943-1951 Mercury Master Takes (2001) [4CD Box Set]

A third-generation blues singer who matched the interpretive brilliance of Billie Holiday and the vocal sweetness of Ella Fitzgerald very early in her career, Dinah Washington needed precious little time to hone her art. While still a teenager, she recorded her first hit, “Evil Gal Blues,” with Lionel Hampton’s band, and was recording as a solo act by 1946.

Warren Zevon - I'll Sleep When I'm Dead: An Anthology (1996)

I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead (An Anthology) covers the bulk of Warren Zevon’s career, conveniently skipping over his long-forgotten first album and concentrating heavily on his Asylum records, as well as his albums for Virgin and Giant.

Dinah Washington – The Complete Roulette Dinah Washington Sessions (2004) [5CD, Box Set]

Dinah Washington - The Complete Roulette Dinah Washington Sessions (2004) [5CD, Box Set]

During 1944-1958, Dinah Washington recorded jazz, blues, R&B, pop, and even gospel, excelling in each area. In 1959 after she had a major pop hit in “What a Difference a Day Makes,” the quality of her recordings declined as she was mostly backed by large anonymous studio orchestras in an attempt to duplicate that song’s commercial success. The arrangements were often more suitable for a country singer than for Washington, and her own singing seemed exaggerated and overly mannered.

Julian Lennon released his debut, Valotte, in 1984, not even a full four years after his father John’s assassination. The wounds were still fresh and there were millions of listeners ready to embrace the son of a Beatle, particularly when he sounded remarkably like his father on the stately piano-led ballad “Valotte,” the first single from the album.
