Rickie Lee Jones – The Sermon On Exposition Boulevard (2007) [Limited Edition, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Rickie Lee Jones - The Sermon On Exposition Boulevard (2007) [Limited Edition, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Consulting theologians and Bible scholars during the 1990s, photographer, writer, graphic artist, and everyday mystic Lee Cantelon (aka Pennyhead) assembled a small book presenting the words of Jesus Christ (just Jesus’ words, not the stuff surrounding them) in a fitting translation called The Words. He did it for the purpose of presenting those words to people who were not “religious” — people who were put off by organized religion or even offended by it.

Rickie Lee Jones – Pirates (1981) [2009, MFSL Remastered, CD-Layer + Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Rickie Lee Jones - Pirates (1981) [2009, MFSL Remastered, CD-Layer + Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Pirates is the second album by Chicago-born singer, songwriter, and musician Rickie Lee Jones, released in July 1981, two years after her eponymous debut Rickie Lee Jones. The album is partially an account of her break-up with fellow musician Tom Waits after the success of her debut album. The cover is a 1976-copyrighted photo by Brassaï.

Ray Charles - Genius + Soul = Jazz (1961) [2012, Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Genius + Soul = Jazz is a 1961 album by Ray Charles featuring big band arrangements by Quincy Jones and Ralph Burns. Charles is accompanied by two groups drawn from members of The Count Basie Band and from the ranks of top New York session players.

Journey – Arrival (2001) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Journey - Arrival (2001) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Journey was formed originally as a vehicle for Neal Schon’s guitar pyrotechnics, but after five years the band sought out a lead singer to give them mainstream pop appeal, and Steve Perry did that, helping them to a string of seven consecutive multi-platinum albums before the band broke up in 1987. A 1996 reunion put them back in the winners’ circle with Trial by Fire, but Perry then bowed out for health reasons, putting Journey in the sticky position of recruiting a new lead singer. (Drummer Steve Smith has also been replaced by Deen Castronovo formerly of Bad English.) Continue reading “Journey – Arrival (2001) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]”

Marillion – Fuck Everyone and Run (F E A R) (2016) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Marillion - Fuck Everyone and Run (F E A R) (2016) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Delivering a political album is always risky, with the possibility that it will get locked in its historical era usually a direct consequence. On their 18th album, prog rockers Marillion don’t seem to care, and they have nothing to lose and no one to account to but themselves. FEAR is an acronym for “Fuck Everybody and Run.” Two of its three lengthy, multi-part suites (“El Dorado” and “The New Kings”) are overtly political statements that look at England and the calamitous state of the world not only observationally but experientially.

This pairing of two totally idiosyncratic vocalists acquired legendary status over the decades in which it had been out of print. But the proof is in the listening, and frankly it doesn’t represent either artist’s best work. There is certainly a powerful, often sexy rapport between the two — Charles in his sweet balladeering mode, Carter with her uniquely keening, drifting high register — and they definitely create sparks in the justly famous rendition of “Baby, It’s Cold Outside.” Continue reading “Ray Charles And Betty Carter – Ray Charles And Betty Carter (1961) [2012, Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]”

Toto – Hydra (1979) [2000, Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Toto - Hydra (1979) [2000, Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

If Toto’s musical advantage was that, since its members continued to play on many of the successful records made in L.A., its own music was popular almost by definition, its disadvantage was that it made little attempt to seek an individual musical signature — a particular style, say, or a distinctive singer (Bobby Kimball was not it) who could make its records immediately identifiable.

Second Helping is a 1974 album by Lynyrd Skynyrd. It was the band’s second album, and featured its biggest hit single, “Sweet Home Alabama”, an answer song to Neil Young’s “Alabama” and “Southern Man”. Continue reading “Lynyrd Skynyrd – Second Helping (1974) [2013, Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]”

Kiss – Destroyer (1976) [2010, Japanese SHM-SACD, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Kiss - Destroyer (1976) [2010, Japanese SHM-SACD, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

The pressure was on Kiss for their fifth release, and the band knew it. Their breakthrough, Alive!, was going to be hard to top, so instead of trying to recreate a concert setting in the studio, they went the opposite route. Destroyer is one of Kiss’ most experimental studio albums, but also one of their strongest and most interesting. Alice Cooper/Pink Floyd producer Bob Ezrin was on hand, and he strongly encouraged the band to experiment — there’s extensive use of sound effects (the album’s untitled closing track), the appearance of a boy’s choir (“Great Expectations”), and an orchestra-laden, heartfelt ballad (“Beth”).
