On Beautiful Broken, Heart decide to tread a path well worn by vintage rockers: revisiting their catalog. This is an exercise often fraught with peril. That said, while Ann and Nancy Wilson do stumble, they’ve learned from predecessors’ mistakes. Seven of these ten cuts were previously recorded, but none are considered Heart standards.

The Flower Kings - A Kingdom Of Colours II: The Complete Collection From 2004 To 2013 (2018) [9CDs Box Set]

Dreams are an essential part of the musical world. Despite having been firmly involved in Sweden’s highly fertile prog rock scene in the ’70s, Roine Stolt was still harbouring dreams of maximum creative fulfilment when he arrived in the ’90s, guitar in hand and a head full of sublime musical ideas. The end result was a solo album, The Flower King, which struck such a resounding chord with a small but growing number of prog fans around the planet. It also proved to be one of a handful of albums that helped to kick-start and underpin a worldwide resurgence for adventurous, symphonic rock music that is still gaining momentum over two decades later.

Deep Purple – Made In Japan (1972) [1998, DCC Remastered]

Recorded over three nights in August 1972, Deep Purple’s Made in Japan was the record that brought the band to headliner status in the U.S. and elsewhere, and it remains a landmark in the history of heavy metal music. Since reorganizing with singer Ian Gillan and bassist Roger Glover in 1969, Deep Purple had recorded three important albums — Deep Purple in Rock, Fireball, and Machine Head — and used the material to build a fierce live show.

Patti LaBelle – Lady Marmalade: The Best Of Patti & LaBelle (1995)

Patti LaBelle - Lady Marmalade: The Best Of Patti & LaBelle (1995)

The concept behind Lady Marmalade: The Best of Patti and LaBelle is to draw eight tracks apiece from LaBelle’s chart heyday as a group and the first five years (1977-1982) of Patti LaBelle’s solo career, which she spent with Epic. Is it a worthwhile summation? That depends on what you’re looking for. The LaBelle tracks constitute a serviceable overview, featuring their four chart hits (“Lady Marmalade,” the R&B Top Ten “What Can I Do for You?,” “Get You Somebody New,” and “Isn’t It a Shame”); actually, the more extensive Something Silver compilation doesn’t have them all. Plus, there are four songs written or co-written by Nona Hendryx, an important component of their repertoire. Continue reading “Patti LaBelle – Lady Marmalade: The Best Of Patti & LaBelle (1995)”

All of his best-loved hits are here (including “Release Me,” “Les Bicyclettes de Belsize,” “Quando Quando Quando,” and “There Goes My Everything”), but there are also a few extra tidbits that should keep even longtime fans happy with the program — most notably, four brand new songs.
