Few observers expected that Whitney Houston’s first big-screen role in 1992’s The Bodyguard would generate a phenomenon. Not that the film itself was a phenomenon — it was a healthy success, due not only to Houston, but to her co-star Kevin Costner’s drawing power — but the soundtrack’s success was astonishing.

Following in the footsteps of many, the soundtrack for Martin Scorcese’s Goodfellas (based on Nicholas Pileggi’s Wiseguy) uses period music for definition — in this case, however, music from the ’40s through the early ’70s is utilized. The selections themselves are all good — well chosen and not overused songs that range from “Rags to Riches,” sung by Tony Bennett, to “Layla (Piano Exit)” from Derek & the Dominos, passing through “Speedo” from the Cadillacs, “Life Is But a Dream” from the Harptones, “Baby I Love You” from Aretha Franklin (in fine voice here), and “Sunshine of Your Love” from Cream.

A stunning self-reinvention by a band that many had given up for dead, 90125 is the album that introduced a whole new generation of listeners to Yes. Begun as Cinema, a new band by Chris Squire and Alan White, the project grew to include the slick production of Trevor Horn, the new blood (and distinctly ’80s guitar sound) of Trevor Rabin, and eventually the trademark vocals of returning founder Jon Anderson.

In the four-year interim between Gov’t Mule studio albums, guitar boss Warren Haynes has been busy: He played on the final Allman Brothers Band tour, paid tribute to Jerry Garcia with a symphony orchestra, issued an Americana-esque solo album, and played on James Cotton’s Cotton Mouth Man. That said, no other music he makes resonates in the same way as what he creates with Gov’t Mule (co-founder and drummer Mat Abts, keyboardist/guitarist Danny Louis, and bassist Jorgen Carlsson).

An integral part of the early 1980s thrash metal movement, New Jersey quartet Overkill were formed in 1980 by vocalist Bobby “Blitz” Ellsworth and guitarist Bobby Gustafson, and also included bassist D.D. Verni and drummer Rat Skates (later replaced by Sid Falck). The band garnered a reputation for brutal, pounding speed and technique, but lacked the musical diversity to compete with heavy hitters like Metallica; still, Overkill built up a strong following in the metal underground with albums like 1985’s Taking Over and 1988’s Under the Influence. Gustafson quit in 1989 following the Years of Decay album Continue reading “Overkill – Discography (1985-2017)”

It was 50 years ago when The Beatles’ John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr astonished and delighted the world, ushering in the Summer of Love with Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, a groundbreaking masterwork that became popular music’s most universally acclaimed album. The album is newly mixed by Giles Martin and engineer Sam Okell in stereo, sourced directly from the four-track masters at Abbey Road Studios in London, and guided by the original, Beatles-preferred mono mix produced by his father, George Martin.
