Suzi Quatro – The Devil In Me (2021)

Suzi Quatro - The Devil In Me (2021)

The Devil In Me is the best album in my career to date!” After all, the American rock vocalist would hardly utter such superlatives lightly. Suzi’s enthusiasm for her latest offering has many reasons, twelve of them to be precise. Because The Devil In Me consists of exactly a dozen songs, each of them – from the opening track and title song to the final ‘Motor City Riders’ – a real highlight.

Cheap Trick – In Another World (2021)

Cheap Trick - In Another World (2021)

Cheap Trick never stopped working, persevering through both good times and bad. The 2010s wound up as something of a latter-day renaissance for the group, as they found a familiar groove with the adoption of Rick Nielsen’s son Daxx as their regular drummer in 2010. At the end of the decade, they released a flurry of albums all recorded with co-producer Julian Raymond. In Another World Continue reading “Cheap Trick – In Another World (2021)”

Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers - Angel Dream (2021)

The past nine months have been a musical gift for Tom Petty fans. His family, producers and fellow Heartbreakers have culled through virtually everything from the Wildflowers era to release an embarrassing amount of amazing music. Last fall gave us Wildflowers & All the Rest, a multi-volume set of bonus tracks, demos and live cuts. Continue reading “Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers – Angel Dream (2021)”

This is a particularly interesting release because it features the 1978 version of Manhattan Transfer performing at three different concerts. This is how the ensemble sounded live when Laurel Masse was still in the lineup along with Tim Hauser, Janis Siegel and Alan Paul. The pacesetting vocal group (accompanied by a quintet that includes guitarist Wayne Johnson and Don Roberts on reeds) runs through 18 songs, many of which are quite brief.

Back in 1978 when this set was recorded, fusion (the mixture of jazz improvisation with rock rhythms) was declining. Keyboardist Joe Sample, best-known for his work with the Crusaders, was in the process of being one of the founders of “contemporary jazz,” an idiom that has since solidified into smooth jazz. Sample emphasized catchy melodies, light funk rhythms, appealing chord changes and a pop sensibility.

Pink Floyd – Discography

Pink Floyd - Discography

Some bands turn into shorthand for a certain sound or style, and Pink Floyd belongs among that elite group. The very name connotes something specific: an elastic, echoing, mind-bending sound that evokes the chasms of space. Pink Floyd grounded that limitless sound with exacting explorations of mundane matters of ego, mind, memory, and heart, touching upon madness, alienation, narcissism, and society on their concept albums of the ’70s. Of these concept albums, Dark Side of the Moon resonated strongest, earning new audiences year after year, decade after decade, and its longevity makes sense.

A brilliant, accomplished debut, Look Sharp! established Joe Jackson as part of that camp of angry, intelligent young new wavers (i.e., Elvis Costello, Graham Parker) who approached pop music with the sardonic attitude and tense, aggressive energy of punk.

This is the ultimate Neil Diamond record. Not necessarily the best — he’s at his most appealing crafting in the studio — but certainly the ultimate, capturing all the kitsch and glitz of Neil Diamond, the showman. And that also means that it’s not just loaded with flair, but with filler, songs like “Porcupine Pie,” “Soggy Pretzels,” and “And the Grass Won’t Pay No Mind” — attempts to write grand, sweeping epics that collapse under their own weight. Still, that’s part of the charm of Diamond and while it can sound unbearable on studio albums, it makes some sense here, surrounded by his pomp and circumstance.

As the youngest brother of the massively popular Gibb siblings, otherwise known as the Bee Gees, it’s no wonder that Andy Gibb was a superstar in his own right. An accomplished vocalist and writer, Gibb shot to the top of the charts with his 1977 debut Flowing Rivers. Shadow Dancing, released just one year later, effortlessly confirmed his ascension to the top of the pop pedestal. Working with his brothers again, Gibb wowed audiences with his easy-on-the-ears passionate pop. Continue reading “Andy Gibb – Shadow Dancing (1978) [Japan, CD-Quality + Hi-Res Vinyl Rip]”
