Sam Cooke – Ain’t That Good News (1964) [2003, Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Sam Cooke - Ain't That Good News (1964) [2003, Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

The last of his studio albums released in his lifetime, Sam Cooke’s Ain’t That Good News offers a lot of superb material, pointing in several directions that, alas, were to go largely unexplored. The central number is, of course, the earth-shattering “A Change Is Gonna Come,” with its soaring gospel sound and the most elaborate production of any song in Cooke’s output.

Otis Redding – Otis Blue / Otis Redding Sings Soul (1965) [2016, Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Otis Redding - Otis Blue / Otis Redding Sings Soul (1965) [2016, Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Otis Redding’s third album, and his first fully realized album, presents his talent unfettered, his direction clear, and his confidence emboldened, with fully half the songs representing a reach that extended his musical grasp. More than a quarter of this album is given over to Redding’s versions of songs by Sam Cooke, his idol, who had died the previous December, and all three are worth owning and hearing.

Diana Ross – All The Great Hits (1981) [2018, Reissue, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Diana Ross - All The Great Hits (1981) [2018, Reissue, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Diana Ross is certainly a diva of goddess-like proportions. Whether joined by the Supremes, or out on her own, her voice is unmistakable and powerful, plus she possesses the uncanny ability to take songs penned by others and make them very much her own — to imbibe them with her very soul.

Charles Aznavour – Idiote Je T’Aime… (1972) [2004, Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Charles Aznavour - Idiote Je T'Aime... (1972) [2004, Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Throughout his long, prolific career, Charles Aznavour has worked in a variety of musical styles, from traditional French chanson to small-combo jazz to easy listening pop to a few rather odd side trips into the distinctively Gallic form of ’60s beat music known as ye-ye. Yet 1995’s IDIOTE JE T’AIME–yes, that translates to “I love you, Idiot”–showcases Aznavour in the style for which his perhaps best known and most beloved by his fans, backed by a full yet never overbearing orchestra (think Petula Clark, not Nelson Riddle-era Frank Sinatra.)

Steely Dan - Aja (1977) [2010, Japanese SHM-SACD, Reissue, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Steely Dan hadn’t been a real working band since Pretzel Logic, but with Aja, Walter Becker and Donald Fagen’s obsession with sonic detail and fascination with composition reached new heights. A coolly textured and immaculately produced collection of sophisticated jazz-rock, Aja has none of the overt cynicism or self-consciously challenging music that distinguished previous Steely Dan records.

Buddy Guy – DJ Play My Blues (1982) [2004, Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Buddy Guy - DJ Play My Blues (1982) [2004, Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Buddy Guy’s music has changed a great deal since this album was recorded in Chicago in 1981. It is possible that Guy has never sounded better than this, tearing into some deep indigo blues, letting his guitar wail loud on every cut, and playing with inspiration, especially on the title cut and “Dedication to the Late T-Bone Walker,” a track that seems to spring from some place deep within himself. Nor was he the only one on fire at the sessions. Continue reading “Buddy Guy – DJ Play My Blues (1982) [2004, Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]”

Richard Thompson – Rumor And Sigh (1991) [2018, MFSL Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Richard Thompson - Rumor And Sigh (1991) [2018, MFSL Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

While Richard Thompson’s devotees will tell you the man is a triple-threat genius — passionate vocalist, compelling songwriter, and sterling guitarist — even his most loyal supporters will concede that the dour nature of his songs and the no-frills production of many of his albums make the bulk of his catalog tough sledding for the uninitiated. Given this, 1991’s Rumor and Sigh is arguably the best album for those wanting to sample Thompson’s work for the first time.

At long last, these 24 thought-to-be-lost recordings by the late, great Gene Clark is now in release on Sierra Hybrid SACD and Sierra High Fidelity on 2 LP audiophile vinyl set.

A pivotal figure at the births of rock music’s golden trifecta of hyphenated subgenres (folk, psychedelic and country) in the1960s, he earned his rightful place in the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame as a founding member and principal songwriter of The Byrds.
