Jerry Lee Lewis – Rock & Roll Time (2014)

Jerry Lee Lewis - Rock & Roll Time (2014)

There’s a different feel to 2014’s Rock & Roll Time, the third album Jerry Lee Lewis has made with benefactor and producer Steve Bing. Once again, superstar drummer Jim Keltner co-produces (he sat out 2010’s Mean Old Man), and the pair bring the Killer back where he belongs right at Sun Studios. In case anybody missed the point, Jerry Lee is placed directly in front of the old Sun building itself on the cover of Rock & Roll Time, underscoring a point the music makes perfectly plain: Jerry Lee is once again singing some of that old-time rock & roll Continue reading “Jerry Lee Lewis – Rock & Roll Time (2014)”

The Human League – The Best Of The Human League (2004)

The Human League - The Best Of The Human League (2004)

The Human League are an English electronic new wave band formed in Sheffield in 1977.

Pat Benatar – The Very Best Album Ever (2002)

Pat Benatar - The Very Best Album Ever (2002)

Pat Benatar’s polished mainstream pop/rock made her one of the more popular female vocalists of the early ’80s. Although she came on like an arena rocker with her power chords, tough sexuality, and powerful vocals, her music was straight pop/rock underneath all the bluster. Born Patricia Andrzejewski on January 10, 1953, in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, the singer was raised in the nearby town of Lindenhurst on Long Island, NY. Benatar began singing regularly in the New York City area by the ’70s, where she was discovered at the Catch a Rising Star club and signed by Chrysalis Records. Backed by a stellar band led by guitarist Neil Geraldo Continue reading “Pat Benatar – The Very Best Album Ever (2002)”

VA – Twist And Shout: The Stateside Story 1962 (2013)

VA - Twist And Shout: The Stateside Story 1962 (2013)

Stateside Records is a British records label founded in 1962 by EMI. The Top Rank label recently folded, so EMI bosses hired the Rank Organisation’s former executive Fred Exon to run the new label in direct competition with Decca’s London American imprint. Stateside dealt exclusively with imported American material; no home-grown acts were released with the Stateside moniker. Continue reading “VA – Twist And Shout: The Stateside Story 1962 (2013)”

Little Richard – Just About As Good As It Gets! (2013)

Little Richard - Just About As Good As It Gets! (2013)

Of all the original 50s rock ‘n’ roll stars, none was more flamboyant than Richard Wayne Penniman. Now a game octogenarian still intermittently performing (he headlined a Las Vegas weekender in March 2013), Richard has had a chequered career peppered with retirements and comebacks, fluctuations between God and Mammon and many a misjudged recording; his latter years dogged by a dodgy hip. At his peak he was the most dynamic rock ‘n’ roll extrovert on record and stage, which obscures the fact he was also the most mellifluous vocalist of the pack when he calmed down enough to sing a blues, gospel or soul ballad Continue reading “Little Richard – Just About As Good As It Gets! (2013)”

Sheryl Crow – The Very Best Of Sheryl Crow (2003)

Sheryl Crow - The Very Best Of Sheryl Crow (2003)

Sheryl Crow was one of the key artists of the ’90s, if the yardstick is capturing the sound and spirit of the time. A former backing vocalist for Michael Jackson — an association that led to dubious tabloid headlines romantically linking her with the singer long before she was a star in her own right — she rode the first great wave of Women in Rock hysteria of the alt-rock explosion to fame with her first album, Tuesday Night Music Club, in 1994, settling into the weary aftermath of the post-grunge years with her brilliant eponymous second album Continue reading “Sheryl Crow – The Very Best Of Sheryl Crow (2003)”

Various Artists – Twistin’ USA (2013)

Various Artists - Twistin' USA (2013)

It’s 1961 and the Twist is just the shot in the arm that the music business has been looking for in the wake of the payola scandal. Many key radio stations across the United States have panicked and changed their formats from rock & roll to “quality music”, causing both listeners and advertisers to drop away fast Continue reading “Various Artists – Twistin’ USA (2013)”

REO Speedwagon – The Hits (1988)

Glass Hammer – The Breaking of the World (2015)

Glass Hammer - The Breaking of the World (2015)

Just when you thought the greatest and most venerable American prog band could get “none more prog,” along comes THE BREAKING OF THE WORLD, the best work of Glass Hammer’s career and, in some related fashion, their most progressive album thus far. This is not just album number fifteen in a list of fifteen sequential studio albums. Of course, there’s no such thing Continue reading “Glass Hammer – The Breaking of the World (2015)”

A great overview of the music from this group, one of the founders of the California sound in the late ’60s. This is a good collection of their unforgettable electric folk-pop songs, including “Monday, Monday” and “California Dreamin’.” (Originally released in August 1969 by Dunhill Records, 16 of Their Greatest Hits, it was reissued on CD by MCA Records in 1986.)

Pete Haycock and Robin George had worked together on the charity album “LovePower and Peace” and the opportunity to make an album together to tour was not to be missed.
