A Song for You is the fourth album released by the Carpenters, released on June 22, 1972.

Rory Gallagher – Discography (1971 – 2013)

Rory Gallagher - Discography (1971 - 2013)

For a career that was cut short by illness and a premature death, guitarist, singer, and songwriter Rory Gallagher sure accomplished a lot in the blues music world. Although Gallagher didn’t tour the U.S. nearly enough, spending most of his time in Europe, he was known for his no-holds-barred, marathon live shows at clubs and theaters around the United States.

Gov’t Mule – Discography (1995 – 2015)

Gov't Mule - Discography (1995 - 2015)

The original leaders of Gov’t Mule, Warren Haynes and Allen Woody, were well known to Allman Brothers fans for their stint in Southern rock’s most famous native sons. In 1989, Haynes became the second replacement for Duane Allman, providing a good foil for Gregg Allman and Dickey Betts on guitar and vocals; Woody filled out the Allman sound on bass. Five years after their debut, the duo joined drummer Matt Abts in the side project Gov’t Mule, a band in which the Allman Brothers’ influence was apparent but complicated with the psychedelic, bluesy power trio feel of Cream.

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.

Julian Lennon – The Secret Value Of Daydreaming (1986)

Julian Lennon - The Secret Value Of Daydreaming (1986)

On The Secret Value of Daydreaming, the follow-up to his successful debut, Julian Lennon emphasizes his mainstream pop leanings by adding a tighter, more polished production which brings out the best in his songs. Continue reading “Julian Lennon – The Secret Value Of Daydreaming (1986)”

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.

One of the more notorious albums in the history of vocal music, What a Diff’rence a Day Makes! is the lush session that bumped up Dinah Washington from the “Queen of the Blues” to a middle-of-the-road vocal wondress — and subsequently disenfranchised quite a few jazz purists.

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.
