Jimi Hendrix Experience – Live In Maui (2020) [BD + CD-Quality & Hi-Res Vinyl Rip]

Jimi Hendrix Experience - Live In Maui (2020) [BD + CD-Quality & Hi-Res Vinyl Rip]

Just about everything about Jimi Hendrix’s performances in Maui, Hawaii, at the end of July in 1970 suggested they would likely be a train wreck. Hendrix’s manager had invested in an ill-fated film about hippie culture and expanded consciousness, and the production was going off the rails. Hoping to make the movie more saleable, the filmmakers eagerly agreed to stage a concert starring Hendrix that would appear in the film.

AC/DC – Power Up (2020)

AC/DC - Power Up (2020)

AC/DC, for most intents and purposes, fell apart after the release of Rock or Bust in 2014, so it’s a relief to hear Power Up and discover that AC/DC still sound like AC/DC: thick, powerhouse chords and rhythms battle and groove with Brian Johnson, who shrieks for pleasure, not attention. That sense of relief never dissipates as Power Up offers song after song that firmly hit their target, adding up to an album that delivers reliable thrills.

Greendale ranks as one of the more elaborate projects Neil Young ever conceived, a concept album inspired by Thornton Wilder’s Our Town which was accompanied by a film telling the record’s story — the film was then used as a backdrop for a theatrical production featuring Young and Crazy Horse.

One of Joe Bonamassa’s primary influences was Eric Clapton, so the idea behind Royal Tea makes some sense: he spends the 2020 album saluting British blues. This may seem like a distinction without a difference, since Bonamassa has never shied away from Zeppelin nods on his albums, but Royal Tea does indeed sound different than his other studio albums.

Reissued by the audiophile label Mobile Fidelity on LP, this Red Nichols set is a bit unusual in that it is a live session. The cornetist and his Five Pennies (which includes the great bass saxophonist Joe Rushton, clarinetist Bill Wood and trombonist Pete Beilman) plays one of their typical sets of the period.

After bouncing around Philips, Atlantic, and Capitol playing Brazilian jazz or searching for an ideal blend of Brazilian and American pop, Sergio Mendes struck gold on his first try at A&M (then not much more than the home of Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass and the Baja Marimba Band).
