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.)

Climax Blues Band – Broke Heart Blues (2015)

Climax Blues Band - Broke Heart Blues (2015)

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. The duo assembled in 2013 a cast of heritage musicians with all tracks mostly co-written by Haycock and George and they also coproduced the album. Pete had experienced worldwide fame as part of Climax Blues Band and Robin has enjoyed one the most varied and successful careers as Continue reading “Climax Blues Band – Broke Heart Blues (2015)”

Traveling Wilburys – Vol.3 (1990)

Traveling Wilburys - Vol.3 (1990)

The Traveling Wilburys built upon George Harrison’s comeback with Cloud Nine and helped revitalize the other supergroup members’ careers, setting the stage for Bob Dylan’s 1989 comeback with Oh Mercy, Tom Petty’s first solo album, Full Moon Fever, produced by Jeff Lynne (sounding and feeling strikingly similar to this lark), and Roy Orbison’s Mystery Girl, which was released posthumously. Given the success Continue reading “Traveling Wilburys – Vol.3 (1990)”

Traveling Wilburys – Vol.1 (1988)

Traveling Wilburys - Vol.1 (1988)

There never was a supergroup more super than the Traveling Wilburys. They had Jeff Lynne, the leader of ELO; they had Roy Orbison, the best pop singer of the ’60s; they had Tom Petty, the best roots rocker this side of Bruce Springsteen; they had a Beatle and Bob Dylan, for crying out loud! It’s impossible to picture a supergroup with a stronger pedigree than that (all that’s missing is a Rolling Stone) Continue reading “Traveling Wilburys – Vol.1 (1988)”

Patty Smyth – Greatest Hits – Featuring Scandal (1998)

Patty Smyth - Greatest Hits - Featuring Scandal (1998)

When Smyth had her first hit with the band Scandal in 1982 with the peppy kiss-off “Goodbye to You,” MTV was still in its infancy and Alanis Morissette was not long out of diapers. Not exactly the stereotypical groundbreaker, the New York-born Smyth nonetheless helped make the pre-Madonna ’80s safe for women in rock, paving the way for such hit makers as Morissette, Sheryl Crow, and the whole Lilith Fair flock. While this career-spanning retrospective is a Continue reading “Patty Smyth – Greatest Hits – Featuring Scandal (1998)”

Del Shannon – A Complete Career Anthology 1961-1990 (1998)

Del Shannon - A Complete Career Anthology 1961-1990 (1998)

To most casual listeners, Del Shannon was a one-hit (or, at best, two-hit) wonder. This two-CD anthology goes a long way toward correcting that inaccurate perception, covering virtually every high point in a career that, admittedly with some ups and downs, yielded some great and popular music across nearly 30 years Continue reading “Del Shannon – A Complete Career Anthology 1961-1990 (1998)”

Irish guitarist Gary Moore has built an entire career on stubborn self-recycling. Just when listeners think they have him pegged within a particular musical style (heavy metal guitar slinger, soft-hearted acoustic player, jazz fusion experimentalist, electric blues purist), the enduring six-string legend throws a curve ball and changes artistic direction — seemingly just to spite his critics Continue reading “Gary Moore – Out In The Fields: The Very Best Of (1998) {Limited Edition}”
