Spyro Gyra – Good To Go-Go (2007) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Spyro Gyra - Good To Go-Go (2007) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Thirty-one years and 27 albums in (not including compilations), urban contemporary jazz unit Spyro Gyra are playing with the funky inspiration and clever melodic and rhythmic invention that have made them synonymous with the genre, but that they haven’t displayed on their own recordings for some time.

Spyro Gyra – The Deep End (2004) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Spyro Gyra - The Deep End (2004) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]

With their third label release, the longtime contemporary jazz powerhouse ensemble led by fluid and funky sax legend Jay Beckenstein celebrates 30 years of a consistent mix of making instrumental pop hits and pushing the musical envelopes into fusion territory.

Spyro Gyra – Wrapped In A Dream (2006) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Spyro Gyra - Wrapped In A Dream (2006) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]

The Buffalo-based instrumental ensemble is always credited for contributing to the pop, R&B, and jazz hybrid that eventually evolved into today’s smooth jazz — but happily, as the music in that genre has gotten slightly more predictable, Spyro Gyra have been rocking, rolling, and improvising in a lot of unexpected directions.

Spyro Gyra – In Modern Times (2001) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Spyro Gyra - In Modern Times (2001) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]

When you consider that 1979 was the year that launched Spyro Gyra onto the pop charts with their number one hit “Morning Dance,” for what was essentially a new style of jazz, their achievements seem all the more astounding. With the release of In Modern Times, the group commemorates 25 years of recording and a move to Heads Up International with this fresh, new collection.

Bobbie Gentry – The Girl From Chickasaw County (The Complete Capitol Masters) (2018) [8CDs Box Set]

Bobbie Gentry - The Girl From Chickasaw County (The Complete Capitol Masters) (2018) [8CDs Box Set]

Like her signature song “Ode to Billie Joe,” Bobbie Gentry is an enigma by choice. “Ode to Billie Joe” deliberately leaves out details that would spell out the story and Gentry removed herself from public view sometime in the late ’70s for reasons that have never been fully disclosed. Many have tried to track her down because her cult not only persisted into the 21st century, it even grew — so much so that an observer would be forgiven if they believed Gentry was something of an outsider artist instead of a mainstay on television who hosted a variety show of her own.

Alternate mixes of ‘Strawberry Wine’ and ‘Sleeping’ are issued for the first time and also included are seven unearthed ‘field recordings’.

Bachman-Turner Overdrive – Albums Collection (1973 – 2016)

Bachman-Turner Overdrive - Albums Collection (1973 - 2016)

Following his 1970 departure from the Guess Who, guitarist Randy Bachman recorded a solo album (Axe) and planned a project with ex-Nice keyboardist Keith Emerson (later canceled due to illness) before forming Bachman-Turner Overdrive in 1972. Originally called “Brave Belt,” the metal group was comprised of singer/guitarist Bachman, fellow Guess Who alum Chad Allan, bassist C.F. “Fred” Turner, and Randy’s brother, drummer Robbie; after a pair of LPs (Brave Belt I and Brave Belt II), Allan was replaced by another Bachman brother, guitarist Tim, and in homage to the trucker’s magazine Overdrive, the unit became BTO.

Bachman-Turner Overdrive’s Four Wheel Drive album is most often overlooked, mainly because all of the attention was focused on the singable “na na na naa”‘s of one of B.T.O.’s biggest hits in “Hey You.” But the rest of the album is made up of the band’s lunch-pail rock & roll sound, combining ample amounts of factory-made blues to street-dirty guitar rock.

Ben Davies called Bachman-Turner Overdrive’s first album a “fusion of Lynyrd Skynyrd-style Southern/trucker rock and ZZ Top’s anthemic arena rock,” and with their logo imprinted in a big metallic gear which looks like it inspired James Cameron’s Terminator trademark, Randy Bachman, his brothers Tim and Robbie, and C.F. Turner dish out a methodical mix of plodding hard dirges. Continue reading “Bachman-Turner Overdrive – Bachman-Turner Overdrive (1973) [2020, Remastered, WEB Hi-Res]”

Iggy Pop – Albums Collection (1977 – 2020)

Iggy Pop - Albums Collection (1977 - 2020)

There’s a reason why many consider Iggy Pop the godfather of punk. Every punk band of the past and present has knowingly or unknowingly borrowed a thing or two from The Stooges (1969), Fun House (1970), and Raw Power (1973), the catalyzing first three albums Pop recorded with the Stooges. Moreover, years before punk musicians became known for antagonistic on-stage behavior, Pop mastered an unhinged approach to performance that sometimes endangered himself and spectators alike.

Iron Butterfly - Unconscious Power: An Anthology 1967-1971 (2020) [Box Set]

Seven CD set. Digitally remastered box set featuring all of the albums and singles recorded by the legendary American acid/progressive rock band Iron Butterfly recorded for Atlantic’s Atco label between 1967 and 1971 and additional recordings made at the Fillmore East in New York City in April 1968. In October 1967, the band recorded their debut album, Heavy, which was released in January 1968. The album In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, issued in June 1968, would break the band into star status. It reached a height of #4 in the US charts and went on to sell a million copies. Continue reading “Iron Butterfly – Unconscious Power: An Anthology 1967-1971 (2020) [Box Set]”
