The kitsch enthusiast or novelty seeker will enjoy Ray Conniff’s I Can See Clearly Now. Known primarily for orchestral versions of contemporary songs, his recordings during the late ’60s and early ’70s as the Ray Conniff Singers included many straightforward recordings of current pop hits. This 1973 collection includes songs by Helen Reddy, Johnny Nash, the Fifth Dimension, Gallery, the Jackson 5, Albert Hammond, the Isley Brothers and Seals & Crofts! This fun easy listening album has only an average track listing, although it is a cheerful artifact of the early ’70s.

In January 1973, Perry Como traveled to Nashville and cut several tracks with Chet Atkins producing. RCA Victor quickly released his cover of Don McLean’s “And I Love You So,” which had appeared on the singer/songwriter’s little-heard 1970 debut album Tapestry, as a single, and when the disc showed signs of chart success (it eventually made the pop Top 40 and hit number one on the easy listening charts), Como and Atkins went back into the studio in March and April to complete an album by cutting versions of recent pop hits.

In This recording, William Kanengiser and the Alexander String Quarter pay tribute to a group of English musicians who conquered the musical world with their revolutionary explorations. From the Elizabethan lutenist John Dowland to the pop/rock icons Sting, The Beatles and Led Zeppelin, these artists made a lasting impact far from the shores of their small island. Their music served as inspiration for a set of compositions for guitar and string quarter by the talented composer Ian Krouse, Dušan Bogdanović and Léo Brouwer. It is especially appropriate that the guitar sits squarely at the center of these works, as the plucked string was the primary musical voice of these British innovators.

By all accounts, the somewhat unexpected 2014 King Crimson tour was a resounding success and Live at the Orpheum is the first offering for those who were unable to attend. The band had been reinvented with a combination of new and returning players and the set list consisted largely of tunes that hadn’t been performed live since the ’70s, if at all. The main wild card was the three-drummer front line, which easily could have turned into a mess, even without music as challenging as Crimson’s.
